After
the previous experience with PixelPancho (Vi
attacco al muro / I hang you up the wall, 29.11-19.12.05)
and the opening to the street art we started to look at
the city wall with more attention, graffiti and tags surrounded
by writings on houses, public buildings and even monuments
and historical spots; scars and communication desires at
the same time. Suddenly, in a week time, everything disappeared,
smeared with acid or freshly painted the walls regained
their former anonymous stillness and re-gathered their original
function of clean surfaces.
Terrible phrases, dirty insults, political
messages stopped playing their sermons to the pedestrians,
together with historical graffiti and tags that marked the
passage of legendary urban writers, many of whom joined
the post-graffiti movement or transformed their passion
in a job: abroad.
Starting from this point, capitalizing
the contacts from the previous experiences, Amantes gives
life from 7 to 28 February to REWRITING. Seven appointments
in the Olympic season, dedicated to the re-mapping, on the
Amantes' walls, of the graffiti and tags erased from the
Turin buildings, coupled with sounds and images from the
same culture and dressed with a round table featuring journalists,
artists, writers, anthropologists, social scientists that
will talk about the spontaneous communication theme.
The “tam tam” in Turin already started,
writers can use 12 spaces of 2x1.5m each to write on every
Tuesday (7/14/21) from 15 to 22, while the Dj's and Mc's
crew will play on Friday (10/17/24 Febrary) and Tuesday
28 from 19 to 22. Seven forced meetings for people involved
in graffiti, with surprise meetings of crews from other
cities.
