URBAN DEVELOPMENT EPISODE 2

This is the the second part in our series of features about the Urban Development Outdoor Gallery Project in Auckland, New Zealand.

In this episode Berst One conducts a thorough interview with me about the motives and technique behind my current approach to painting. We speak in depth about what it is for a Graffiti Writer to embrace being an artist, the influence and thinking behind our current aesthetic and shed some light on some local graffiti history and how that has impacted the piecing style of today.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

I want to take some time out to show you another side project I’m working on right now. This diverts away a bit from the current format of this site but I’m really excited about this. I’ve also extended my skills into the shooting and editing of the videos, hence why I’ve been a little slow on the blog lately.

Urban Development is an outdoor art project, the objective is to provide the platform for collaboration between artists across a wide range of mediums and stages in career. The project centres around street influenced mural work but will also draw in a variety of creative’s, both emerging and established. The concept is to think outside the conventional confines of graffiti, fine art, sculptural work, performance and beyond, blurring the lines and creating a dynamic and interesting project worthy of international attention.

This Episode introduces the project through brief interviews with the founding collective, Berst, Askew, Snek and Tim Webber. Stay tuned for regular updates including profiles on collaborators and the murals progress.
