Graffitimundo Presents: “The Talking Walls of Buenos Aires” (London, UK)

Graffitimundo announced "Beach wall of Buenos Aires". The exhibition will be held on September 6th in the Londonewcastle project space and will introduce Argentina's unique urban art culture.

The city art of Buenos Aires reflects the turbulent history of the city and rich cultural heritage. Throughout the last century the walls of the city were widely portrayed by artists, activists, political groups and the public, and the walls of Buenos Aires became an established dynamic expression channel.

Over the past two decades, several different artistic styles have been formed. The catastrophic Argentinian economic crisis in 2001 created a generation of young artists who took to the street and decided to regain their city. When they work together in the spirit of unity, a new and unique visual language starts to emerge

"The Buenos Aires Talking Wall" introduces mural paintings and original artwork of famous Argentinian artists and art groups, video works depicting the cityscape of Buenos Aires, historical and contemporary photographs. And a landmark moment in the history of the country

This exhibition is rooted in Activism, celebrates the desire to change public space, celebrates the desire to change public space, and in the process what traditional ideas, that is graffiti, what street art represents, who created it and why

I attended a variety of technical lectures at the Microsoft Galaxy conference such as Barcelona TechEd 2003 or in Buenos Aires, Geneva, London. I also gave a speech at Microsoft DevDays 2006 held in Geneva. The general attitude of Microsoft Galaxy developers is not a friendly, "company", confidential, newly developed countries and cumbersome IT processes. At the time of 2006, the Apple Galaxy was exactly the opposite for me; it was full of musicians, artists, and painters; they wrote software to support their passion, and they wrote software eagerly It was. To this day, I still like this galaxy very much.

Buenos Aires is an example of a particularly attractive city wall that conveys a turbulent past tale. Here, graffiti has been used as a tool for political communication, resistance and behavior, and is attracted by citizens restoring democracy and economic collapse, following the military dictatorship. There is a law prohibiting graffiti, but the city's urban art is recognized worldwide. Currently, the new bill proposes to reduce bad points in other places by assigning graffiti artist registration to a designated location in Buenos Aires.
