NUART 2014: Inside

As usual the Nuart venue for the exhibition is Tou Scene right outside the city centre. Tou used to be a brewery and the old beer caves is the main stage for the street art exhibition inside. The beer caves is not a place for fine art on canvas, but perfect for experimenting with installations, video, light and works directly on thick concrete walls. During the Nuart Festival, the most of the artists do works inside and outside. I think that the inside works shows a different side of the artists creativity, than we usually see in the streets. There are more variety in use of materials and means to express their ideas and artistic visions. By avoiding canvas and presented in a rough environment, the art still smells like street art in form and spirit. The exhibition is open untill 12 of October.

The line-up this year is:

Andreco (IT), Borondo (ES), Dotdotdot (NO), Etam Cru (PL), Fra.Biancoshock (IT), Icy & Sot (IR), John Fekner (US), Levalet (FR), M-City (PL), Martin Whatson (NO), Mathieu Tremblin (FR), SPY (ES), Strøk (NO), Tilt (FR), ± Maismenos ± (PT)
