Filmul de Joi la Carol 53 : EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP



Obiceiul de a filma absolut tot ce vede al lui Thierry Guetta, un imigrant francez din Los Angeles, il conduce spre descoperirea unei laturi interesante a vietii de noapte. Vandalism sau arta stradala? Aceasta este intrebarea al carei raspuns incearca Thierry sa-l afle. Dupa cateva luni petrecute cu artistii stradali, maestrii intr-ale graffiti-ului, pe care ii filmeaza pentru a face un documentar, tanarul francez se imprieteneste in cele din urma cu unul dintre cei mai controversati si enigmatici artisti – Bansky. Din acest punct camera se muta din mana lui in mana noului sau prieten, Thierry devenind astfel noul protagonist al filmului. Cuprins de febra artei stradale, incepe sa ii imite pe oamenii pe care pana atunci doar ii urmarea atent si ajunge intr-un punct critic in care isi gireaza casa si afacerea pentru organizarea unui spectacol de arta major, organizat in LA.

Joi (28 februarie) la Carol 53 de la 20:00.

HENSE


An Atlanta native, Alex Brewer (better known as HENSE) has been working as a visual artist for almost two decades. His free-form paintings and public mural installations incorporate a combination of lines, shapes and organic forms. His work has been described and fluid and playful, and as an explosion of pastels.

HENSE launched his career in the 1990s painting walls and writing graffiti in and around Atlanta. By 1999, he had achieved what is known as “all city status,” because his work could be found in almost every neighborhood in Atlanta. In addition, HENSE has produced exterior works across the U.S, and abroad in Spain, France, Japan, Taiwan and Mexico.

As part of his continuing efforts to work amidst the urban landscape, HENSE has adopted a variety of innovative techniques, realizing art in public spaces by means of print-making, painting, and art installations.

Air Graffiti


AIR Graffiti is an innovative and exciting software that lets participants easily create digital graffiti using a laptop, projection screen, and infrared spray cans.

When the guest presses on an infrared spray can, the infrared light is tracked by the computer to create a vibrant, colorful drawing. Afterwards, the graffiti can be printed as a photo, shared on social media, saved as an electronic file, and saved as a video of the drawing process. The guest can choose colors to spray, use stencils, or apply specialized painting methods. Air Graffiti also includes backgrounds and branded covers, so you can easily add your logo or a customer’s logo for giveaways.

Fat Heat


I was born in Hungary in a small town. I first got hooked in 1998 when mysterious and colourful letters started to appear on a couple of walls just a few blocks away from my home. I instantly fell in love with the colors, the enormous shapes and the crazy energy that these paintings were emitting. My addiction stopped only once, for six months.

Then they put even stronger stuff in front of my eyes: whole train cars burning in paint, documentaries of a distant subculture from New York, crazy stories and the smell of a fresh and fascinating lifestyle – I just couldn’t resist. I became absolutely immersed from that point on, but I got lucky. I met a couple guys who were struggling with the same beautiful problem, we became true friends, and this is why we founded the Colored Effects crew in 2000.

Graffiti – let’s call it what it is – for me is a passionate but healthy competition, which requires deep concentration. That’s why I try to synchronize this dependency with a lifestyle that is more or less acceptable by the society that surrounds me.

I feel that through my addiction, all of the nights that I’ve spent awake because of it and the dangerous situations that I got out of safely, have helped to give me a really objective perspective on life. Despite the fact that I have given up on the illegal part of “writing” I will always keep those golden years as a great treasure, deep in my heart.

For the present and the future I just try to communicate this knowledge in the most honest way that is possible, whether I paint a small canvas, a huge mural, letters or a character.

My name is Fat Heat, I’m not even thinking of quitting anymore.
