Graffiti- & Street Art Festival Styria 2015

12.-17. Oktober 2015, Fürstenfeld -Steiermark

Das "Jugendkulturfestival „Graffiti- & Street Art Festival Styria" geht heuer in seine fünfte Runde und lädt junge Künstler und kunstinteressierte Jugendliche im Bereich „Graffiti- & Street Art“ ein, gemeinsam mit internationalen Künstlern gesellschaftliche und jugendrelevante Themen künstlerisch umzusetzen und ihre Arbeiten einer großen Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren.

Das diesjährige Festival stellt sich der Herausforderung, die Kunstproduktionen dem brennenden gesellschaftspolitischen Thema "Fair Distribution of Ressources" zu widmen.

Als künstlerischer Leiter konnte heuer wieder der international renommierte Street Art Künstler Daan Botlek aus Rotterdam, Holland, gewonnen werden, einer der gefragtesten Street Art Künstler Europas mit Installationen & Ausstellungen weltweit. Weitere internationale Künstler des Festivals sind Slaven Kosanovic aka LUNAR aus Kroatien, Lym Morena aka MOSTA aus Venezuela sowie Argiris SER aus Griechenland. Junge Künstler und Jugendliche aus Europa werden mit den Künstlern in Workshops & Performances arbeiten, sprühende Ideen und künstlerische Blickfänge in der Stadt hinterlassen. Die Internationalität des Festivals, die europäische Dimension, die Präsenz von Kunst im öffentlichen Raum sowie die breite Palette der Künstler mit Daan Botlek (Holland), Lunar (Kroatien), Mosta (Venezuela) und Argiris SER (Griechenland), schaffen eine kreative Drehscheibe für junge Kunst in der Steiermark und internationale Plattform für Jugendkultur in Süd-Osteuropa. Das Festival ist in Österreich bereits Markenzeichen für junge Kunst & Kultur.

Press Information

The "Graffiti & Street Art Festival Styria" will take place in Furstenfeld for the fifth time. Young "Graffiti & Street Art" artists are invited to work together with international renowned artists on themes like society and youth-related issues and to present their work to a larger public.

The Culture Department of the city Furstenfeld and the association "Future Icons" jointly organized this youth culture festival under the directorship of Mag. Norbert Lipp. This years art director is again the internationally renowned street art artist Daan Botlek from Holland. He is one of the most sought after street art artists in Europe, with installations and exhibitions worldwide. Other international artists of the festival are Slaven Kosanovic aka LUNAR from Croatia, Lym Morena aka MOSTA from Venezuela and Argiris SER from Greece.

This year, the festival is dedicated to the subject of "FAIR DISTRIBUTIONS OF RESOURCES“. To speak on the subject, we invited political scientist and economist Rado Carlo Poggi from Slovenia and historian and arts administrator Zsuzsanna Pálóczi from Hungary. Young artists from Slovenia, Hungary and Austria will be working together with internationally renowned artists and mentors in the form of workshops and performances. Their sparkling ideas and artistic eye-catchers will be seen all over the city and presented at a great final show on October 16, 2015 at 19.00 clock in Grabher Haus.

The range of workshops will stretch from Graffiti Art, Street Art, Illustration and Graphics to lectures and discussions in the fields of history, philosophy, politics, art and culture. The aim is to create a common Think Tank for young innovative art and culture. To highlight the creative potential of young artists from different countries and make a visible sign of the wants, needs, visions and new concepts of life for young people in the united Europe. Festival Director Mag. Norbert Lipp: "The international character of the event, the presence of art in the public and the presence of artists and speakers will help to establish a creative and innovative hub for young art and culture in Styria!"

It is particularly pleasing that this project was chosen by the European Union, in the framework of an international application, and is promoted as a future role model for innovative and sustainable youth culture work integration in South-East Europe.

Argiris Saraslanidis SER - Greece | Street Art, Graffiti

Argiris Saraslanidis SERBorn in Thessaloniki and studied Graphic Design and illustration. Argiris SER is one of the pioneers of the Urban - Street Art Scene of Greece, largely responsible for its formation and an influencer of younger local artists and peers alike.  
His work - a curiously eclectic blend of old school graffiti, comic culture and pop surrealism - has a dark undertone yet is highly satirical, employing an arsenal of monstrous but somewhat benign characters, to highlight and comment on the absurdity of human nature. SER's work is all over Greece, in the form of large-scale murals, paintings placed in important collections, and commercial work, created in association with major local and international brands. He has an active presence in Europe, never missing the opportunity to fly around to create a quick wall.
