Battlebox auf dem Bremer Marktplatz heute nachmittag, im Rahmen der „Messe der Kinder- und Jugendkultur“, in Kooperation mit dem Kubo und dem Schlachthof.
Im Finale Onkel Oxe und Käpt´n Kenmo mit dem Thema „digitale Litfaßsäule“ – wie immer in 10 min auf die Wand geworfen. Das war cool!
Battlebox on Bremen´s marketplace right in the city center.
So the concept is this:
We come with this foldable, rotatable wall, useable from both sides, which can be turned into a square box, too (hence the name, stemming from the original performance „Pandora´s Box“).
We´ve got 4 Artists introducing themselves and competing with each other (therefore the „battle“ to the box).
We´ve got a DJ, pumping hip hop beats, and the MC, communicating with the audience. He asks the crowd for words, terms, subjects of our next paintings. Often we have a combination of 2 or 3 terms to be the subject of our work.
We then get 10 minutes time to create a painting instandly to it.
The audience then decides per applaus who won the battle and is going to have another round – until the final one!
Allthewhile the wall gets covered with fresh white paint on the backside, after each rotation.
