Book presentation and discussion
3rd June 2014, 6 p.m.
Canetti House, Slavyanska Str. 12, Ruse

Within the context of his residency in Bulgaria, the German artist Jens Besser will also spend one week in Ruse. During this week, the street art artist will realize a painting on the window front of Canetti House. Jens Besser will collect inspiration and contents for the painting during his trip through Bulgaria.

On Tuesday, 3rd June, Jens Besser will present his book “Muralismo Morte – The Rebirth of Muralism in Contemporary Urban Art”. In the book he describes a new movement of muralism, which came up some years ago and since then influenced public spaces as well as the contemporary art scene. Besser shows the variety of muralism – from public projects, collective pictures and paintings in old buildings to adventurous actions at night.

Jens Besser is a freelance artist and curator. For more than ten years, he’s been part of the European street art scene and regularly works together with local street art artists.

In cooperation with Goethe-Institute Sofia.
