Splattered

9th August - 2nd September 2008

Splattered was a ground-breaking participatory art project. The project connected with events ran by the Trans Urban Arts Academy and aimed to encourage innovative crossovers between street art and more established forms of contemporary visual culture. Splattered was an ambitious dual-approach project that combined a range of contemporary urban art forms such as graffiti, vjing and low-tech filmmaking with the added attraction of a paint-bombing even .This, in turn, linked with an exhibition of new work by Carlos Llavata. Carlos is an internationally renowned artist and explosives expert, known for his use of fireworks and other forms of explosives to create artworks that reflect on the human condition and the tension that lies between creativity and destruction.
