ASA was asked by one of the residents of Oosterparkstraat to create an art concept to customize 17 concrete blocks located in the street. The blocks were grey and had many tags on them. This was something they wanted to change.
After a few meetings, our team curated 14 different artists to paint the blocks. We brought together artists with different styles and asked them to work within the 3 themes we had given them. Although November normally is not the best month to organize an outside event, we had the luck that on the weekend we painted it stayed dry. This project supported by #oostbegroot and the government of Amsterdam.
Artist lineup:
*MarcArt *Nicky Nahafahik *Heez *Oei *Kasper Jongejan *Eklor *Sjembakkus *Hugo DHM Mulder *Tony Ant *Ives.One *Ottograph *Kash *Nouch *Beazarility
If you look at the change between the blocks as they were and how our artists made them, you can see why we were asked to help and create this concept. All involved people and organizations were excited with the results and gave a lot of compliments to our artists
