LA VITRINE

the begining

The idea to build the "vitrine" came out during the youth exchange : we need something noticeable and visible at the entrance of Pekarna, to promote the place but also to inform the visitors about what is going on behind these walls covered up with graffiti...a group of Belgian guys size the idea and starts assembling woodcuts, piercing, nailing down, screwing down, painting....but 10 days are not enough, come back very soon guys !

the ending...and more

They came back indeed in november to finish building it...and more : the first work of one belgian artist was added on one side, and there will exibited in the vitrina each month a different artist...From an idea to a project, from a short term limited result to a long term network of creativity ; easy, isn´it ?
