Four cities – One idea

A multitude of walls were covered in Montana GOLD and Montana BLACK goodness by a massive line up of local and visiting artists. Looking at the notion of the street as home, not only due to the time spent on them, but also as the substrate to public art, the festival brought together artists like Steffen Mumm aka HokerOne from Mönchengladbach, TUBUKU – Jaroslaw Masztalerz and Alex Weigandt from Krefeld as well OLDHAUS – Alessandro Althaus from Neuss, for some of the major collaboration pieces. Other featured names included artists such as Phil Norm, Team Kobra (Neuss/Solingen), Aura, Ruby, Wasted Talents Crew (Düsseldorf), Viktor one, Sadam one, Forrest1330, Pqus, Ljda Crew (Neuss), Lash, Juxa, Shogun, Team Kalos (Neuss), Sakvo (Moskau), Odes (Minsk), Tracy (Minsk) and u.v.m. to name a few.
