As part of Creative Sydney in June 2010, five of Sydney’s leading street artists – Beastman, Max Berry, Numskull, Phibs and Roach – painted a 2.5m x 10m collaborative mural which was installed in Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art.
Presented by [weAREtheIMAGEmakers], The Opening Hours and Ironlak, the intention of the event was to draw attention to and make a bold statement about the high quality but temporary nature of public or ‘street’ art in Sydney, due to Sydney council’s tough stance on the subject. This was achieved through buffing over the amazing 10m mural in front of a crowd who turned up expecting the artists to be painting the mural live.
Check out this awesome video of the artists painting on location at Westsyde Connection, and the event that followed at the MCA:Scratching the Surface from [weAREtheIMAGEmakers] on Vimeo.
