Ephemeral Museum
The Ephemeral Museum is an ephemeral art museum located in Bairro Alto, Lisbon, Portugal. It is sponsored by Pampero Fundación and is part of the Pampero Rum campaign, developed by Leo Burnett Lisboa advertising agency. The idea began when Leo Burnett set up a marketing plan for Pampero rum, creating a place where everyday street artists could be acknowledged. In July 2008, the first location opened in Bairro Alto – Lisbon's Bohemian quarter. Its success was immediate, and additional locations soon opened São Bento and Amoreiras. The Bairro Alto location exhibits the works of international artists Dolk and Jef Aerosol, as well as local artists in the making such as Efeito Magenta and O Colectivo Bitmap. Meanwhile, the São Bento and Amoreiras locations renown such artists like Exas, Creyz, Rote, Eko and Mito, Time, Pariz, Youth, From the Cave, Mace, as well as the international Kenor. When determining which artworks to showcase, careful analysis of street art manifestati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stencils
Stencilling produces an image or pattern on a surface, by applying pigment to a surface through an intermediate object, with designed holes in the intermediate object, to create a pattern or image on a surface, by allowing the pigment to reach only some parts of the surface. The stencil is both the resulting image or pattern and the intermediate object; the context in which ''stencil'' is used makes clear which meaning is intended. In practice, the (object) stencil is usually a thin sheet of material, such as paper, plastic, wood or metal, with letters or a design cut from it, used to produce the letters or design on an underlying surface by applying pigment through the cut-out holes in the material. The key advantage of a stencil is that it can be reused to repeatedly and rapidly produce the same letters or design. Although aerosol or painting stencils can be made for one-time use, typically they are made with the intention of being reused. To be reusable, they must remain int ...

Art Museums Established In 2008
Art is a diverse range of human activity, and resulting product, that involves creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, or conceptual ideas. There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art, and its interpretation has varied greatly throughout history and across cultures. In the Western tradition, the three classical branches of visual art are painting, sculpture, and architecture. Theatre, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature, music, film and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of the arts. Until the 17th century, ''art'' referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts. The nature of art and related concepts, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
