Excerpt from this Escif interview. Solo show at Montana Gallery Barcelona at the end of this month.
“Which artist(s) do you admire, or are influencing you at the moment? Are there other artists in Valencia you work with?
There are many different artists I admire all over the world; Blu and his awesome murals, Herbert Baglione’s elegant and big paintings, San´s crazy drawings, Hello Monsters shiny and mad installations are just some to mention. I have lot of respect as well for many different artists that don’t work in street art, like Mauritzio Cattelan, Santiago Sierra, Felix Gonzalez Torres, as many others. In Valencia generally I work on my own, but I also enjoy working with On_ly (as well with other members of XLF), with DOCS (Graffilia), and recently with Hyuro.”

Reclaiming the Streets
June 13 – July 25
Rot(t)terdam, Meent 119-133

In the past month students, artists, skateboarders and designers from around the world have submitted more than 80 concepts for the ‘Reclaiming the Street’ competition. MAMA invited ideas and designs for an object or  an adaptation to the urban public realm in order to allow skateboarders and others to playfully make use of public space.

Visit Showroom Mama for further info and to see the winning submissions soon.

The skatepark in Helsinki is a good example of an official playground which still has a nice atmosphere.
