OS Gemeos and Blu – Fame Festival Italy.
The annual Fame festival stands as one of the most ideal arts festivals on the planet, solely curated and funded by Angelo Milano of Studio Cromie. The festival invited a dozen or so artists each summer to inhabit the Southern Italian city of Grottaglie. They hang out, work together, drink, eat and paint several of the walls around the city. The whole thing culminates in a group exhibition.
This years artists include. JR – france, ERICA IL CANE – italy, SAM3 – spain, NUNCA – brasil, BLU – italy, OS GEMEOS – brasil, SPACE INVADER – france, ESCIF – spain, 108 – italy, DALEK – usa, NICOLA TOFFOLINI – ita, MAYA HAYUK – usa, LUCY MCLAUCHLAN – uk, SWOON – usa, CYOP E KAF – italy, DAVID ELLIS – usa, VHILS – portugal, BEN WOLF – usa, WORD TO MOTHER – uk, MOMO – usa, BASTARDILLA – colombia.
But for this post i’m going to focus on the work produced by Os Gemeos and Blu. In particular this huge collaborative Mural that the three of them worked on during the festival.
Here is a timelapse of the work, accompanied by a spoon medoly recorded at one of the festivals final dinner parties. It’s pretty brutal.
