— Shards of Memories—
3D Mural ‘Shards of Memorie’ painting Straatmuseum in Amsterdam.
Explanation of the work: The events of the past remain like shards in the present. We would rather not be reminded of past adversities, but we should certainly cherish them in order to learn and reflect to make the right choices for building nicer memories in the future.
DUO showcases ten urban artists who visually explore the long cultural history of Spain and the Netherlands. Five artists from Spain and five from the Netherlands have collaborated in teams of two to explore five common cultural themes. Each artist has created their own canvas, showcasing their unique inspirations, techniques, and vision.
ARTISTS
The participating artists are Belin (ESP), TelmoMiel (NL), Musa 71 (ESP), Leon Keer (NL), SUSO33 (ESP), Mick La Rock (NL), Okuda San Miguel (ESP), Mr. June (NL), Irene Lopez (ESP) and Nina Valkhoff (NL). The artworks were created at STRAAT in the week before the exhibition opening.
DUO was conceived by SUSO33 in collaboration with Santiago Herrero, director of Cultural and Scientific Relations for the Spanish Agency for International Development & Cooperation. The exhibition has been carefully curated by SUSO33 and STRAAT’s head curator, David Roos.
