(PR.co.nz) An international street art action is scheduled to make a mark on Taupo in October. The Inside Out Project Taupo is a group submission by a Taupo based street art organisation.
INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Upload a portrait. Receive a poster. Paste it for the world to see.
Portrait photographs and registration are being collected now for the event that is scheduled for Friday 14th October in the Taupo CBD.
The action in Taupo involves 50 portraits – large format and scale posters of people who contribute to arts in Taupo and our community. Curator Eleazar Bramley will be overseeing the selection with producer ARTIVIST : JoFF Rae in a process that will involve selecting artists and creatives, administrators and patrons of arts in Taupo.
“We don’t want to over think this… it’s a simple project that may have massive implications for our community attitude to urban art and being an important part of a much bigger artistic process” says JoFF, “we’re excited to be a part of the World wide exhibition that JR has initiated with his TED prize wish.”
The Inside Out Project Taupo is managed by Taupo independent arts company th’ink media with Eleazar Bramley as curator and local artists Audrey Holyoake and Marita Green as project managers.
