OFFF Unmasked

We are still under the OFFF influence and one of the reason to visit the festival is to had a chance to get a special art book to complete your collection. This year VASAVA Studio presented their sacral work "OFFF UNMASKED" to the audience.

That what they said: "A new art book celebrating the 15th edition of Barcelona’s OFFF festival is as unique as the event itself. Featuring contributions from renowned illustrators and graphic designers, OFFF Unmasked is a journey into a parallel world, portraying the OFFF community as a mysterious cult with its own legends and rituals. Readers must peer behind the layers of myth to discover the real story of OFFF, its founders and its early supporters. The approach is in tune with the ethos of OFFF, which has always invited its guests to look beneath the surface of creativity.

The book’s host and mascot is Dr. Urgil Vataar, an academic who has made exposing the cult of OFFF his life’s work. This is the first time he has publically detailed his efforts to disentangle truth from fiction. The book was designed by Barcelona design studio Vasava in close collaboration with the OFFF team. It will be given away free to all those who attend the event, making it an extremely premium souvenir indeed. "

Alexander Grahovsky illustrations

Spanish illustrator Alexander Grahovsky (Instagram) based in Madrid specialized in pop, erotic and adult themed works.

Classical Paintings on Streets

Julien de Casabianca started Outings Project to fill the cultural gap between the museum and street. Using nothing but mobile phone people can take photos of abandoned and less-known pictures in museums and transfer them on street walls with the help of Outings team. It is legal until you break a law.

P.s. I bet Julien needs to visit Saint-Petersburg and check the street project done by Russian Museum with the same idea. It was vandalised several if not dozen times until people get used to it, and now you watch Russian Classic Paintings outside.

Gravitant by Cinta Vidal Agulló

With this work, Catalonian artist Cinta Vidal Agulló (1982, Barcelona) wants to show that we live in one world, but we live in it in very different ways, playing with everyday objects and spaces, placed in impossible ways to express that many times, the inner dimension of each one of us does not match the mental structures of those around us.Check her exhibition at Miscelanea, Barcelna this week

"I do not remember the last time I left home without a notebook to draw what I see, notebooks where I try to reflect the complexity of human relationships from different perspectives. I never wanted to commit to a single style, even if that's the common thing to do: each new project, painting, illustration, client, idea... is thoroughly analysed and after that process, what should be told and how it should be told will arise."

Playing Arts

Last year Playing Arts One project released a deck of poker playing cards showcasing the illustrations of 55 top illustrators and designers. This year brings a new edition, even more eclectic and powerful, with 55 artists from all over the world involved. Since the beginning of April, one card design appears daily at playingarts.com/two following by process insights and short interviews with the artists.

Gabor Erdelyi captures Life on a Bench for a Year in Barcelona

Spanish photographer Gabor Erdelyi came up with a simple idea for capturing some of the life in the beautiful city of Barcelona: photograph a seaside bench for a year. In the Barceloneta area of the city, Erdely faithfully took photos from a bird’s-eye view to capture the many ways the locals use the bench.

“This is a small point of the fisherman’s village lively, vibrant life. [It’s] an integral part of everyday life, of love, of life, of birthdays, of loneliness, of joint activities and of games. This is one of the many thousands of similar sites of community building.”

Spanish School Design in Valencia by Masquespacio

Masquespacio completed the interior design for 2Day Languages, a Spanish school in Valencia, Spain. The space is developed on an area of 183 square meters and contains three classrooms, a staff room and a lounge. Each of the classrooms and common rooms are a defragmentation from the brand identity of 2Day Languages and also incorporate parts of the Spanish language and the architecture of Valencia. The classrooms were imagined in the three brand colors, which in turn are a representation of the three levels A, B and C established by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, here seen as the colors blue, yellow and pink.
