IBUg 2011 - The Urban Art Festival

The IBUg , the Urban Art Festival, was held in the beginning of September in  Meerane, a small town in the eastern part of Germany. Nearly 150 urban artists from all over Europe, the USA and China were brought together to redesign an abandoned, former textile factory.   IBUg2011 represents an urban culture event that aims at bringing graffiti, street-art and installations closer to the public by embracing existing architecture, and concurrently establishing it as an independent form of art. In addition, derelict industrial grounds are revived to improve people’s awareness for art, culture and architecture.
Below I attached a few photos of the artist’s work, as well as a link to view a video featuring most of the pieces.
