23 May – 25 August 2008
The Street Art Walking Tour:
An urban tour of site-specific art from a group of five Madrid-based street artists: 3TTMan, Spok, Nano 4814, Eltono and Nuria Mora.
For the Walking Tour, I painted four pieces in the streets around the Tate and did the Public/Private signboards installation in collaboration with Nuria Mora.
Especially for the event, I designed a 9 colours silkscreen print, edited by the Tate Modern,
you can see it here: www.eltono.com/prints/patchwork.html
