1. NUART 2015 Special: FUTURA In Action in the Tunnels of Tou Scene
BSA Special Feature: FUTURA in the The Tunnels at Tou Scene by Jaime Rojo
Straight from Nuart 2015 to you, this rare opportunity to be one-on-one with New York/world graffiti and fine artist Futura, a cat who defined a new space for many who came after him on the graffiti and Street Art scene. By embracing the spirit of play, exploration, and experimentation this guy helped transform our expectations about what a graffiti artist can do and he made space for many others to do some exploring and experimenting on their own.
Even 35 years after first making a break from NYC trains for the studio practice and gallery scene, Futura continues to try new ideas and techniques of expression. Somehow no matter how high he flies Futura also keeps it down to earth – so much so that he allowed photographer Jaime Rojo to try some experimenting of his own – Here is Jaime trying his hand at video-making on the scene in Stavanger this week.
Enjoy seeing the man in action as he prepares his brand new piece for the big opening this weekend at Nuart 2015.
