Spectrum Street Art festival at YMCA

I went with a friend to have a look at the Spectrum Street Art Festival at the YMCA. Street artists or spray Can Kings have not only dressed the walls of Christchurch City center with amazing art. They also sprayed the walls of the YMCA and it was amazing.

A cute detail. I love kids so loved this one

The figure on the opposite wall is taking a selfie. There is a camera inside as me and my friend

are on the selfie too lol

Love this part

and this

This was really cool. It was a projection on a wall with music and special effects. My daughter would have loved this as she is an artist and she is good at wall projection.

The panic room by Tilt from France. I didn't feel any panic just the feeling of he or she must have had a lot of fun.

This was cool too. It felt like the milky way was projected on the roof.

All the great artists created a piece on a huge wall. In front of them were enormous spray cans with the background of each artist printed on it.

Exhibition Ron Mueck in Christchurch Art Gallery

More than a 100.000 people have already visited the exhibition of sculpture Ron Mueck. We were among them and it was a treat indeed. The sculptures were so realistic and perfect, it was amazing. You could see the veins, muscles and all the hairs implanted in the sculptures which represented themes as birth and life and you could read the emotion from their faces. It looked very real how the man with the beard looks in fear at the couple standing in front of him.

My favourite were the two small old ladies. I could just picture them standing here and whispering in a squeaky voice to each other:

"Clara dear, I can't believe it, have you heard about these folks who call themselves Bloggers."

"What? froggers what the heck are froggers?

"No, bloggers, they write on computers"

"What froggers on computers"What about them?" I don't trust computers

"Now, they write about us"

"See they are gossipers, I knew they were up to no good"

"No, come let's go"

The sick lady in the bed was also impressive. Lots of people walked around her bed as if they were the little people surrounding Gulliver.

We were lucky to have this exhibition here in Christchurch
