20X20 exhibition @Moedestedet runs until February 2016 in Aarhus

Mødestedet is a place for artistic collaboration. An artist is invited to select one or more persons for a first time co-operation.

You can visit the place in Aarhus at Institut for X / Godsbanen (find it on the map description in the pictures below). The 20X20 annual group show gathers visual artists from different countries, including Denmark. The concept for the selected works is the 20 cm by 20 cm format and a theme that changes periodically.

Visit the exhibition - opened until February - and buy the zine where artworks are included, to support the independent project!

Monkey see, monkey do!

Back to 2012

Stencils, collages and fine street-art before the apocalypse :) Strong messages and more, found with the help of another street art blog in the city:

'It's just something we forget'

Interview for 'Thinking Urban' goes on Archilovers

''A study by the European Parliament's Committee on Culture and Education recognises the transformation of the street art artistic movement, but it also reveals a discrepancy in the way it is perceived in different countries across Europe.

 Street art suffers from a timid institutional recognition in the different European countries and a low level of consideration by public funding and cultural policies. In Germany, Italy and Spain, street art is seen more as a spontaneous entertainment and are almost never granted any financial support.

The situation is even more gloomy in Northern Europe where even circus arts get considerably more recognition, and street art remains underdeveloped. Ioan Pupila, founder of the Street Art Aarhus project, tells AFR ' 'There for sure are places in Europe where it is more challenging to create street art because of different political reasons.''

The short story behind Seagull Kiss graffiti on Fiskergade

Kate Svanholm is the music artist that represents the girl in the mural 'Seagull Kiss' by Hans Krull.

'' Mek Pek and I were over artist Hans Oldau Krull studio in Aarhus in 1980. We came up to do a photo shoot, and Krull had happened a few stuffed birds standing, which I thought would be fun to make photo with. We got to play a lot with the stuffed seagull and many fun photos occurred that night. ''

Hence arose as lithography pressure of "Seagull Kiss", which was later painted in colors on the gable of fishing street in Aarhus in 1985.

We put some of the art symbols of Aarhus in #deepdream filter and the results are awesome

If you don't know already about Google's #deepdream project - the manipulation of the image recognition software, to put it short - that has gone viral on the Internet these days, you should definitely give it a try.

We used it at Street Art Arhus to convert some of the artistic icons of the city, and here is how it looks like. Share your thoughts and opinions in comments: how do you find it?

This is how Ron Mueck's boy at AROS looks like on one of the deep dream's program filters.  Or is it the lizard-boy now? 

The kiss of the seagull, originally painted by Krull in the '80, has a few more pairs of rainbow(ish) eyes in 2015.

And here's a different filter, that makes it look more 'organic'.

Finally, we put the famous 'Rainbow Panorama' inside the dreamscope app:

Colorful dreams everyone! :)

Street art and the harbor - Aarhus, 2015

Window tattoos at Double Rainbow

If you haven't visited the kakao bar known as Double Rainbow at Godsbanen, Institut for X, it's time to go and see one of the most hip places of Aarhus. 

Here is some new artwork ( white marker stencils) that greet passers by the window:

You can find more inside or enjoy the good weather drinking the nicest coffee or kakao on the terrace. 'Death before decaf' for energetic days!

Cozy atmosphere and probably the best minimal tech DJ's in town ;)

:: if you want to contact the artist for decorating your windows, please leave a message in comments or a PM to Street Art Aarhus Facebook Page.

New murals in Aarhus. How will it look like?

1. In progress by Peter Birk

2. Sketch by Mormor for unknown mural

A mural is a large scale drawing/painting on walls of buildings, museum etc. There are more buildings in Aarhus that artist used instead of canvas, creating amazing street art.

What do you miss?

Street-art is temporary and that's the way it is, either you love it or hate it. A bunch of great artworks have been lost, in time, in the city of Aarhus and that's not the graffiti removal service's fault. (Is there one?)  

Anyways, that's one of the reasons Street Art Aarhus is here, to remind you of the lost masterpieces from the streets :p 

Ok now, remember who's missing? I'll start with the homeless boy stencil who needed food or maybe a home, but changed his mind for that 'skinny caffe latte' that he found quite expensive in the center area. 35 kr for this treat? No way, dude!

As collage is one of the most perennial mediums, we miss the representation of the fairytale city with Miss Fairy and the Moon...

And even our beloved Facebook emblem - this nice collage by an (still) unknown artist disappeared from the Telefontorvet wall.

Don John, the homeless astronaut, went into space for a / some change. 

Word sis, so little time...

Not even the Pope, with his holy relations, couldn't last too long on the walls of the city. 

So when nostalgia hits again, and there's no street art to recall, you better know -> Street art's only sleeping

:)
