Once again MOS strikes back in Italy! Be prepared for high-quality art! Mani pulite was yesterday!

Urban Code, our Graffiti-Masons from Venice, are currently preparing the latest details. Though the spot is not really sure yet, expect italian Graf on a top-level!

Urban Code in cooperation with the Salt Docks and PVC Revolt once again organizes the Italian leg of the International MOS. Now the countdown begins!

For the eighth edition. The place chosen this year for the third time is the Albanian Bissuola Park, the green heart of Mestre. Bissuola the park since the early 90′s was the meeting place of different realities of young people in the city, including skaters and writers, and we will continue to do so.

For years we have local authors and Urban Code claims that space, also painted for the younger generation of writers. The Meeting of Styles is in Venice, an event open to the citizenry, an occasion for celebration and reflection, meet people and meeting …: styles of letters and pictures on the site by a rich selection of the best Italian writers produced.

Opened in 1913, it is the oldest underground system in the Southern Hemisphere and has six lines, named by letters (A to E, and H) with 74 stations and 52.3 km (32 mi) of route.
	An expansion program is underway to extend existing lines into the outer neighborhoods and add a new north-south line. Route length is expected to reach 89 km (55 mi) by 2011.

Daily ridership on weekdays is 1.7 million, fares are cheap and are in fact cheaper than the city buses.

08 – 09 October 11, London (United Kingdom)

EndoftheLine are proud to present the rescheduled Meeting of Styles – the UK’s premier showcase of spraycan art.

Meeting of Styles 2011 from agnes&lupus on Vimeo.

Originally the meeting was scheduled for August. But due to the London-riots having consulted with the venue owners, police, and local authorities it is felt that it would be irresponsible to go ahead with a public event in the light of these disturbances. It’s obviously the last outcome we would want but our first priority has to be the safety of all involved.

We were forced to postpone the original date due to public order concerns in the wake of the London riots, but we’re back with an even bigger and better event.

Featuring over 50 of Europe’s best graffiti artists, this independent event provides a unique platform for expression, raising awareness and demonstrating the incredible talent of this generation of contemporary artists. Ask someone what they think of graffiti and most people will decry the ‘tagging’ that has become ubiquitous in every city in the world. Meeting of Styles aims to radically alter your opinion of what graffiti is and can be. Not just a meet up for the aerosol art community, it’s a chance for the public to see and appreciate a creative process that is so often clandestine.

ALL DAY GRAFFITI BLOCK PARTY

Aerosol art, by it’s very nature, doesn’t live comfortably in gallery spaces or alongside corporate sponsorship, as such Meeting of Styles is curated by and for the artists. A free event, it’s not run for profit and we only work with like-minded sponsors. This independence means the artists involved aren’t beholden to anyone’s agendas or subject to any form of censorship.

Now in it’s fourth year, Meeting of Styles is family friendly and full of good vibes. Aside from the chance to see a veritable army of talented artists painting live, there’ll be a cinema room, licensed bars, competitions, and cult carnivores – Meat Easy, providing the BBQ. DJs and MCs keep things rocking outside in the daytime whilst the likes of Lazy Habits, Phi Life Cypher, Joe Driscoll, and Wrongtom finish off the day inside at our after-party. It’s set to be an unmissable day out, we can’t wait to see you there.

London street festival, block party vibe, BBQ, Beats, and Bar with aerosol artists painting live throughout the weekend. 2011 Location // The Studios, Holloway Road Daytime Event // Saturday // Midday – 8pm Aerosol & Graffiti Showcase 60 handpicked artists painting walls, canvases, and boards through out the day to a backdrop of HipHop, reggae, Ska and more. Lazy Habits DJ & Trumpets Set, DJ Mylon, Chu-i, Trol23.

ASTRO

The French Style wizard brings some incredible funk to British shores this summer. His immaculate letterforms and progressive styles have brought colour to countless Parisian walls. Not content with smashing concrete he has pioneered cello graff – painting on cellophane with his buddy kanos. Very Very Dope!

Endtroducing : Ghetto Farceur

Ghetto Farceur : Rems, Bims, Fan, Sarin

These guys are the future of graffiti. We were lucky enough to host a couple of these guys at last years Meeting of Styles and they blew up the wall with London’s Bonzai. We couldn’t leave them alone so we have enlisted more of the crew to take down a monster wall at this years event. Expect big things from these tiny French guys.

Location

The Studios, Hornsey Street, Islington N7

This year Meeting Of Styles will be held at the Studios, off Holloway road. This complex hosted the event in 2009 and was a perfect location to host the incredible artistic talent that this event attracts. The Block party is supported by enormous Street Side walls and open spaces.

Closest Tube – Holloway Road Station, North London

Adjacent to Holloway Road Tube station, Piccadilly Line and close to Caledonian Road and Highbury & Islington tube station.

01 – 05 August 11, Lublin (Poland)

admin — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 12:52:10 +0000

Welcome back to Poland! The polish Meeting came up strong with a lot of attractions!

Lublin is the ninth largest city in Poland and is the capital of Lublin Voivodeship with a population of 350392 in 2009. It is also the largest Polish city east of the Vistula river and was a candidate for the title of European Capital of Culture in 2016.

It is not only the biggest city in eastern Poland, but an important culture core city also. Since accession of Poland into the EU, Lublin has been called “Gate to the East.”

Since then, many important international events have taken place here, involving Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Russian and Belorussian artists, researchers and politicians.

Spanish with Bulgarians, Austrians with Czechs, and residents from Wrocław with Berlin ones. All these people met in Lublin during the previous editions of Lublin Graffiti Festival. They painted the walls in the very centre of the town. During the breaks between using the next cans of paint, they could get together over the screening of graffiti films. They took part in the exhibition, and finally they painted their names together with the musicians during the jam session. This is what graffiti writers, who visited Lublin themselves, can say about Lublin Graffiti Festival.

And what can the audience say? Certainly, they could see a lot. They could admire murals, the ones which had never been created in Poland before. They could sing the praises of the pieces of art linking the style present in churches a few hundred years ago with the style of painting the walls.

They could see the mayor of Lublin himself pitching up and painting an impressive part of the wall.

The audience may remember how the event influences overcoming the barriers and skipping the generation gap. Grandparents with grandchildren were watching how the art stemming from the street was taking its shape. The young listening to hip-hop and funk were resting and watching how the grey wall was getting painted. These were the subsequent editions of Lublin Graffiti Festival, the event, which has already become an inherent part of the most interesting Polish graffiti writers? schedule. That?s how Lublin Graffiti Festival looked like when visited by crowds of young people, and tourists doing sightseeing at the same time in Lublin. This year, Lublin will unquestionably become the capital of graffiti.

MEETING OF STYLES 2011 Mainz-Kastell from P.-J. M. on Vimeo.

For a long time it was not clear , but finally the new coalition of Wiesbaden has decided to support the Meeting and enables us to keep the event in its hometown!

.

Once again we are happy to present you Graffiti-and Spray-Can-Art on its top level! Artists from all over the world are coming to Wiesbaden for a colourfull weekend to collaborate and to create huge monuments of art on walls.

	Due to elections of a new city-council it was not clear if we can hold the Meeting again in 2011. But finally after negotians were finished the result seems to be a good compromise: legal walls shall be maintained and additional walls shall be build as part of the Cultural-Park at the Schlachthof-grounds.
We hope the future of the MOS in Wiesbaden is secured now. Beside of Graffiti-Art the Meeting will represent all disciplines of Hip-Hop-Culture and an After-Show. During the festival bar and barbeque will be provided for your convenience.

Various smaller walls at entrance and exit below the train-tracks

enlarge the gallery and are available to paint all year long.

These walls give space for single pieces, but also crew-productions.
