Graffiti- & Street Art Festival Styria 2016

17.-22. Oktober 2016, Fürstenfeld -Steiermark

Das Jugendkulturfestival „Graffiti- & Street Art Festival Styria" geht heuer in seine sechste Runde und lädt junge Künstler und kunstinteressierte Jugendliche im Bereich "Graffiti- & Street Art" ein, gemeinsam mit internationalen Künstlern gesellschaftliche und jugendrelevante Themen künstlerisch umzusetzen und ihre Arbeiten einer großen Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren.

Das diesjährige Festival stellt sich der Herausforderung, die Kunstproduktionen dem brennenden gesellschaftspolitischen Thema "Social Europe" zu widmen.

Als künstlerischer Leiter konnte heuer wieder der international renommierte Street-Art Künstler Daan Botlek aus Rotterdam, Niederlande, gewonnen werden, - einer der gefragtesten Street Art Künstler Europas mit weltweiten Installationen und Ausstellungen. Weitere internationale Künstler des Festivals sind Sizetwo - Deutschland, das Künstlerkollektiv SomeDesigners - Japan, Libanon, Ukraine, Deutschland, Italien, Lym Morena aka MOSTA - Venezuela, sowie Baume - Österreich.

Junge Künstler und Jugendliche aus Europa werden mit den Künstlern in Workshops & Performances arbeiten, sprühende Ideen und künstlerische Blickfänge in der Stadt hinterlassen. Die Internationalität des Festivals, die europäische Dimension, die Präsenz von Kunst im öffentlichen Raum sowie die breite Palette der Künstler mit Daan Botlek (Holland), Sizetwo (Deutschland), Mosta (Venezuela), Baume (Österreich) sowie das Künstlerkollektiv SomeDesigners, schaffen eine kreative Drehscheibe für junge Kunst in der Steiermark und internationale Plattform für Jugendkultur in Süd-Osteuropa. Das Festival ist in Österreich bereits Markenzeichen für junge Kunst & Kultur.

Schwerpunkt für die künstlerische Ausrichtung des Festivals ist heuer die Erweiterung des Begriffs Street Art um die Dimension „Street Art INTERAKTIV“. Es werden Sound- & Visuelle Installationen, interaktive Skulpturen produziert und öffentlichkeitswirksam präsentiert.

Das Konzept der "ÖFFENTLICHEN GALERIE" wird ausgebaut und auch der Arbeitsprozess selbst direkt in das öffentliche Leben integriert. So wird auf dem Hauptplatz in Fürstenfeld eine große ZELTSTADT aufgebaut, wo Künstler und Workshopteilnehmer eine Woche lang arbeiten und in einer großen finalen Ausstellung ihre Werke präsentieren.

Sizetwo

sizetwo 2016"SizeTwo is a Graffiti artist from Graz, Austria, who painted since 2009. He practically learned everything by himself, using all the sources he could find to improve his skills. Over the years he got quite a name in his small town, and after a college for graphics and communication design, he decided to move to Berlin to broaden his horizon.
With his authentic style and professional behaviour, and of course a bit of luck, SizeTwo started to work for Berlin's biggest commercial Graffiti agency. He painted murals for amazon, adidas, netflix and universal music, and in his free time even more walls. His style has evolved from pure styles to funky and colorful characters with a lot of expression. While the characters look almost realistic, they're outlined with a thick black comic lines, creating an unique and recognizable style."
