The Second Attempt e.V. presents a travelling exhibition which contains Streetart on canvas, as well as photography’s, videos and workshops.  Furthermore does Second Attempt e.V. give visitors the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of Streetart. The travelling exhibition “Farbsafari – Streetart between Dresden and Wroclaw” takes place from February until May 2010. You can enjoy a fine selection of collages made on canvas, photography’s but also mural paintings of illustration and abstraction, which reflects the current challenges in everybody’s daily routine.

Don’t miss the chance to see this major exhibition, which presents works of Sainer (Lodz/Polen), 1010, Zonenkinder, Koolski (Hamburg), Jens Besser (Dresden), Syru (Leipzig) and Sushi.TV (Weißwasser). Their exhibits and further photography’s of fokus 2009 can finally be enjoyed at Farbsafari. The background: in advance of focus 2009, Artists of five different countries met up at the workshop “urban script Europe” and created an oversized mural painting at the Görlitzer Schlachthof. This area has already become a symbol for Streetart; artists can life up their style in the hope that the visitor does find the message beyond. Now Farbsafari looks back at fokus 2009, the festival doe youth culture, and the results of the workshop “urban script Europe”, which brought together young people from Germany and Poland.

Focus 2009 is a project, which is been developing through the Kulturstiftung Sachsen and the foundation of german and polish collaboration as well as the Autohaus Lust and the graphic design studios Zittau. “urban script Europe” is been financed by the EU-Programm “Jugend in Aktion” as well as the initiative “dieGesellschafter.de” of Aktion Mensch.

The first stop-over of the travelling exhibition Farbsafari starts 5^th February at the Kronenkino in Zittau and will be continued in Bautzen, Görlitz and Bad Muskau and finishes in Wroclaw. The streetart artists Jens Besser and Sushi.TV will be opening the vernissage and will be holding a live-performance on canvas. The vernissage will be accompanied by a fine selection of life-music and videos. Finally the vernissage gives the chance to see beyond focus2009 and to get in contact with organisers and artists.

Each stop-over of the travelling exhibition at the cities named above will be presenting filmlets and documentations about Streetart and a speech about Streetart held by the Dresdner-artist Jens Besser. Above that visitors will have the chance to experience Streetart – therefore a Workshop called “Stencil and Sticker” will be held by Jens Besser and is part of the exhibition. Pre-assemple stencils are the most used method in Streetart creating photo-realistic images of human beings, nature and technique. This workshop gives an impression of basic methods and further developments of different methods. Feel free to create some stencils of any self-portrait which finally can be sprayed on homemade stickers.
