When I received the press release of Nuart Lockdown Edition, I was enthusiastic about the new format they came up with: maintaining a dialogue with the city, on the actual streets of Aberdeen (Scotland), through a poster campaign by the same artists who were announced to take part to the 4th edition of the international street art festival.
Even though Rotterdam is only one hour by train from Amsterdam (net of rail traffic continuous delays, obvs), until the very last moment I wasn’t sure I could make it to Pow! Wow! Rotterdam 2019, the second edition of the international urban art festival Pow! Wow! to take place in The Netherlands.
If you follow this blog you may know that “Industriebrachenumgestaltung”, short: IBUG, is my favorite urban art festival ever. As a mediapartner of the event, I spent quite a lot of time over the last two summers inside two different abandoned factory in Saxony (East Germany).
A few days ago, my friends at Ibug urban art festival called me to share the first details of this year’s edition. We will still spend a crazy week inside an abandoned factory in western Saxony but, unlike the last two years, I won’t be travelling to Chemnitz in 2019.
This is one of the most exciting moments of the summer!
I’ve just received a bunch of photos of the abandoned factory where IBUG Festival 2018 will take place.
It’s a former needle and blanket factory called NAPLAFA, located in Chemnitz (West-Saxony).
