Bristol: See No Evil Festival

See No Evil

As part of the second ever See No Evil event,  Street artists from around the world are in Bristol city centre to take part in the UK’s largest permanent street art project.

Nelson Street is being transformed with graffiti during the second year of the See No Evil urban art exhibition.

Last year projectors were brought in to help artists create graffiti on buildings up to 10 storeys high.

A RECORD 50,000 people from across the UK and Europe flocked to Bristol over the weekend for the city’s See No Evil street art festival.

See No Evil was organised by Team Love, made up of music producers Dave Harvey and Tom Payne plus festival director Mike Bennett and art curator Inkie, with funding from Bristol City Council, the Arts Council and London 2012 Festival as part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.

London Pleasure Gardens

The Paradise Gardens  is  a free family festival and a feast for all the senses in the new London Pleasure Gardens site. Featuring a vintage fair, performance arts, live music, pyrotechnic galore and all kinds of entertainment, this is definitively a destination for the summer.  But a festival wouldn’t be the same without street art and graffiti…

Fresh from Paris, Shepard Fairey and the Obey Giant team finished a large scale mural.

Da Mental Vaporz at Galore Festival 2011

The French graffiti crew Da Mental Vaporz painted this massive mural for the Galore Festival in Copenhagen. Featuring Bom.k, Blo, Brusk, Dran, Gris, Jaw, Kan and Sowat.

The mural is a satyrical reference to unscrupulous people who are willing to deface street art walls for profit. The DMV also incorporated a tribute to Kase 2 (RIP), as well as Copenhagen landmarks, including the infamous  Christiania market, where you can find anything.
