KATOWICE FINAL REPORT

Roa

Escif

Ludo

M-City at work

Moneyless & Mark Jenkins

Our last day in Katowice, and the last official day of painting, even if some artists were to continue the day after.

 We borrowed bikes to get to see all the works, and started eastwards to see Swanski's finished piece. Then past Ludo's giant police ant in an pittoresque suburb, to Escif's giant power switch on residential blocks far to the north. A beautiful piece by Etam Cru was still present next to the largest shopping mall in the area.

 In the center M-city started his work, to be finished tomorrow. Mark Jenkins connected to the flying constellation of Moneyless. And Tellas started on a new wall in an area of brick buildings soon to be demolished.

 The day and the festival was rounded up with a giant party in a partly abandoned highrise Communist age building, with a DJ set visualized by a live digital mural by Nawer vs Temporary Space Design. Documentation video: http://vimeo.com/41192664 . This was a great climax to a well organized festival. That is impressing, being only the second year of the festival.

M-CITY UPDATE

Nuart friend M-City with a terrific new piece for Fest-Architektur in Neuss, Germany. Then onto Poland for Katowice Street Art Festival.

Katowice

M-CITY UDATE

Nuart friend and colleague M-City recently completed this huge piece in Plock, Poland. Part of his latest series of knights, dragons and villages in distress. Quite a departure from his earlier dystopic industrial landscapes. Be interesting to pick his brains on this shift in content.

M-CITY MEXICO

Our good buddy M-City and MAMUTT with a video of one of the 6 walls he produced during his stay in August. This project is carried out mainly in San Miguel de Allende, on farms that are on the outskirts of the city.
