Street Art Dealer - Bristol, by Steal From Work on Jul 2, 2009 11:22:44 GMT 1, Before Steal from Work takes a well deserved break for the summer we've hooked up with C6, producers of the Street Art Dealer project, to stage across Bristol a series of installations, interventions, events and urban games that combine art with QR Code technology - 2D barcodes that encode information (any information but interesting for us are things like hidden web links and embedded movies).
There's an installation in an old shop, a interactive urban game and several other installations hidden amongst the Bristol's public spaces, plus a free limited edition print. All of which need you to participate using your mobile camera phone and QR Code technology (don't worry it's dead easy).
We have an exciting range of artists, mixing urban & contemporary artists, each of which are using the QR Codes in a different way:
Tomoko Takahashi - Turner Prize nominee, known for sprawling installations examining chaos and producing her first new work for quite a while.
James Powderly - From Graffiti Research Lab, who has been pioneering the fusing of open source technology with graffiti all across the world.
Zeus - Who has been practicing and pushing traditional graffiti since the mid 80s, especially with his amazing letterform sculptures.
BEAM - a brand new and somewhat huge collaborative installation piece by local artists Joseph Watts and Haywood Slucutt simulating a warped architectural explosion meets anamorphosis.
Sebastian Lowsley-Williams - who here will attempt to modify the city's more hidden walls with paintings opposing more usual street art (he won't give us any more info than this!)
Headquarters will be based in an former shop in the centre of Broadmead (Bristol's old shopping heart) which is where information to start hunting for the hidden pieces & play the games will be.
Opening night is Thursday 9th July 6-9.30pm (all welcome)
Then the show runs 10th-31st July
Open Thur-Sat 12-7pm & Sun 12-4pm
74-76 Horsefair (formerly Stationary World)
Broadmead, Bristol, BS1 3JS
Free entry
NOTE: To fully take part in all the Street Art Dealer events you'll need to download and install a QR Code Reader on your camera phone. This can be done at the exhibition headquarters or easily online, most mobile phones with a camera have software available if not already installed.
