GRLG at 6th Assault – now with video!

From September 26th to 30th 2011 several members of GRL Germany had the chance to be part of this years International Urban Art Festival “Sexto Asalto“!

Based in the City of Zaragoza in central Spain, graffiti artists from all over Europe and Spain were invited to do walls in the old-town. Graffiti Research Lab Germany was represented with a talk, two workshops (Creative Code and GML) a hand full of mushroom Throwies, the launch of bombIR 2.0 and of course a night out with blitzTag. Here some video from a truly inspiring, busy and VERY sunny week!

Throwie Removal Unit

Hot on the tail of our LED Throwie action at Kottbusser Tor, and because of the roughly 18,000,000 comments on Heise.de about what we were going to do about the batteries, we built a Throwie Removal Unit (Instructable >> here < <)… an extension painters pole with a large metal plate… and took ’em all down… at least, the 66 out of 350+ that were still there (?!??!??! … our guess is pigeons blinging out their nests… but if anyone has other ideas or facts, we’re interested).

LED Throwies at Kottbusser Tor

yeah yeah… you’ve probably already seen it here and/or here … but we thought we’d show some more !!!

big up’s to Street Lab, SID, the rest of the GRL Germany crew, all our workshop participants, and of course all the little kids that straight up mobbed us and helped us put up 350+ throwies !!

 

blitzTag at Moritzplatz

‘sup kids ?!?

Video still under production, but here are some quick shots from last Friday’s action.

Word ’em Up to Street Lab, Prinzessinen Garten, Licht Piraten, and all the writers and public who came out and DIDN’t draw a penis.
