Plakboek

Immediately on the first day of Dutch Design Week there will be one of the best openings and presentations: ‘Plakboek’ book presentation at Your Space on saturday the 18th of October at 16:00 hours. Don’t miss out on this one. Eindhovens finest Space3, Erosie and CrackRock have work hard lately to dig up and select the best of their and this towns streetart, that has always been very progressive and with an unique character. This resulted in a 180 pages thick book… I’ve seen some work in progress spreads and this is going to be a must have for people interested in the scene.

Official press release:

Unique to the Eindhoven streetart scene is the combination of localism and globalism. The scene is broad, in the sense that it encompasses various age and style streams, and at the same time it is closely-knit because of long-standing bonds of solidarity. Unlike the street scenes in other cities, the Eindhoven scene is charaterised by a typically Brabant, easy-going, artistic/creative-oriented cohesion. This scene has succeeded in creating an international profile for itself, precisely because of its unique local existence. Large numbers of works from Eindhoven can be admired from Lisbon to Berlin, in the Palais de Tokyo and elsewhere, and in all major international streetart books. The scene has always moved relatively apart from the established art world. your-space presents this scene in an exhibition and honours it with a publication.
