OKUDA IN SOUTH AFRICA

This article was posted by Los Montana 4 weeks, 1 Day, 6 hours, 40 minutes ago.

Last week, Okuda found himself in South Africa, invited by the Spanish embassy for the cultural program, Mzansicultura. He spent a few days visiting the capital, Capetown, with his friend Faith47, and left some samples of his art in SideStudios (Woodstock).

Afterwards, he headed to Johannesburg to participate in the second edition of ‘ City of Gold’, a few days dedicated to international urban art, during which other international artists, such as Atom, Tasso, Case (Germany), Lazoo (France), Solo One (UK), and Dal East (China) also participated, along with other representatives from the South African scene.

 

The festival kicked off with a collective exposition in Afronova Gallery, and the following days (up to last wednesday) were dedicated to the murals being done on the street. We’ll leave you with some of the exhibits and mural pieces by Okuda, with photos courtesy of Derek Smith.

Installation in Joburg.

The collection is titled ‘Lost in the Infinite’, and the artist, who is from Santander but now lives in Madrid, offers us this description, “My work has for quite some time dealt with the same subjects; existentialism, conflict between nature and capitalism, self-destruction, and false freedom.”

‘CAN LOVE: 1500 PROJECT’

This article was posted by Los Montana 1 Month, 6 days, 16 hours, 6 minutes ago.

“Can you count?”, Cyrus said in ‘The Warriors’.

“Can you count? Can you imagine the amount of empty cans that there are in the world?” The majority, unfortunately, end up being thrown on the ground of halls of game, yards, tunnels, etc…

The people from CanLove, via their new project, CANLOVE: 1500 Project, propose doing something with those dirty, rusted spray cans: collecting, manipulating, and cutting them, and using the parts to construct something new.

From Montana Colors, true to our slogan, Keep the Planet Clean, we are participating by offering 1,500 unsellable white 94 cans, which the people at CanLove have used to make a huge canvas for painting upon.

Can Love Project in association with: White Walls, I.C.U. Art, Escape and Montana Colors.

MONTANA T.N.T. OUR FIRST DONATION HAS BEEN MADE!

This article was posted by Los Montana 1 Month, 1 week, 2 days, 23 hours, 7 minutes ago.

After three months of fund raising for the TNT solo project, we have made our first donation * (more details at the bottom of the page) to a neighboring organization.

Montana Colors is situated at the base of Montserrat, a precious mountain near Bages, 40km north of Barcelona.

There is a small recuperation shelter near by us for abandoned animals called Seproan. They are a group of volunteers that sacrifice their free time and much of there economic resources in order to provide care. They try to return confidence to the animals whose owners treated them like broken toys.

A lot of people ask how NGO’s can be in favor of helping animals while at the same time there are children who are in need. We could ask them another question: “What do you do for those kids.?”

The truth is that it is sure that whoever helps animals has more than enough sensitivity in their hearts to help their neighbors.

* Between December 20th, 2011 and March, 2012, the total value of TNT sales amounted to 28.571 €. The donation is 7% of this amount (2000 €). Next donation date: July 20th, 2012.
