See No Evil | The UK’s Largest Street Art Project | Bristol

James Rompani — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 14:20:33 +0000

This weekend Bristol will play host to the most ambitious permanent street art project ever to take place in the UK. The world’s leading street artists will paint the facades of ten multi-storey buildings along Nelson Street as part of ‘See No Evil’.

Bristol has long been known for its street art movement in the UK, being the home to a host of famous artists and now ‘See No Evil’. The biggest names in international street art will converge on the city and take up residency on Bristol’s Nelson Street, a city centre area in need of regeneration. Ten huge buildings will be painted over six days in August 2011, transforming this area into an inspiring masterpiece and a legacy for the city.

The event is a collaboration between street artist Inkie, who emerged out of Bristol’s 80’s graffiti scene alongside Banksy and Bristol music promoters Team Love and is in association with Bristol City Council’s place making director, Mike Bennett.

This extraordinary project will culminate in a FREE New York style ‘Block Party’ on Saturday 20^th August celebrating the best of Bristol’s art and music culture with live street painting and an outdoor stage. Some of the biggest names to have originated in the city will play street sets including DJ Nature (formally DJ Milo of Wild Bunch) and Greg Wilson. The live music will be joined by cartoon drawing, screen printing, tattooing, break dancing and street dressing with mini garden area stretching along the length of Nelson Street.

Confirmed graffiti artists:

Andy Council / Aryz / Ben Slow / Best Ever / Bonzai / China Mike / Chu / Cosmo Sarsen / El Mac / Dicey/ Feek / GMC / Hit + Run / Inkie / Kashink / Maumau / Mr Jago / Mr Wany / Mysterious Al / Nick Walker / Pinky / Ponk / SEPR / She One / Shoe / Sick Boy / Smug / Solo One / Tats Cru and Goldie / Xenz /Zeus
