Stichting Amsterdam Street Art ASA en WACOM organiseren samen DesignBattle

A.s. woensdagavond 3 oktober vindt in Pakhuis de Zwijger de DesignBattle plaats,  georganiseerd door Stichting Amsterdam Street Art ASA en Wacom. De DesignBattle wordt georganiseerd om (straat)kunstenaars kennis te laten maken met de mogelijkheden van digitale kunst met behulp van Wacom’s pentablets.

Vijf designers strijden tegen elkaar door een `character` van Claudia Utopia (ClaudiaTat2) te bewerken. De vijf designers hebben 60 minuten de tijd om haar `character` te redesignen op de Bamboo pentablet van Wacom. Claudia is een bekende ontwerpster en heeft veel ervaring met Wacom´s pentablets. Het aanwezige publiek kan live meekijken op vijf grote schermen in de Grote Zaal van Pakhuis de Zwijger. Een professionele vakjury, waaronder INKIE (Banksy´s voormalige rechterhand) uit Londen, beslist uiteindelijk wie de DesignBattle wint.

Drie winnaars krijgen een prijs, w.o. de Bamboo pentablet en een geldprijs.
Na de DesignBattle is de nieuwe documentaire over Utrechts beroemdste streetartist KBTR te zien.
De documentaire is van de hand van Sjors Swierstra en Sara Plas.

Project Amsterdam Street Art’s first event took place from 8th until 12th June 2010. Both national and international artists came to Amsterdam to present their work in galleries, paint a hostel, paint the I Amsterdam logo and, of course, leave their trademark outside on the streets where street art belongs.

Exhibitions were held in BEP's gallery windows, Outland Store Gallery, The Thought Gallery and GO Gallery. The upper level of Bob's Youth Hostel and the I Amsterdam logo on Museumplein got a new look. Some artists have even done  an assigment when being in Amsterdam. Such as: painting a wall on the Prinsengracht, outside Cafe Belgique and the installation of an artwork in the Super Plus office.

Artists who invaded Amsterdam came all the way from countries such as Canada, Italy, and England, and of course The Netherlands itself. We are very proud to having had the following artists at our first event: The London Police, Hugo Kaagman, Pez, Ives.One, Galo, Flying Fortress, K74, NOL, Fake, Farkfk, Recall One, Orticanoodles, Bue The Warrior, Chase and Indigo.

Our effort was great and so was our first very successful event with positive feedback from visitors, artists, partners and media.
