Nuart is an annual international contemporary art festival established
in 2001. The Festival is based in Stavanger on the West Coast of Norway.
Since
Sept 2005 Nuart's focus has been on the emerging Street Art and Post
Graffiti scenes. From the first week of September an invited
international team of street artists start to leave their mark on the
city's walls, creating one of Europe's most dynamic and constantly
evolving outdoor public art events.
Blu and Ericailcane have been busy collaborating on the side of the tower. The tower is visible for several kiliometers as sea
traffic enters Stavanger harbour. At the moment Stavanger is hosting
ONS,
one of the worlds largest oil festivals, ironically enough, ONS are
also part financing and presenting the pretty sterile international art
& climate change exhibition
"Rethink" at the city's main Museum of art.
The work is intended draw our attention to corporate
irresponsibility and the nature of profit over everything else.
