This Is IT – December 1st

December 1, 2008

This is IT! Over the past week jordae, RIPO, and VADr hit 7 barrios over 7 nights, installed around 150 paintings, consumed countless porros and cerveza-beers, and suffered an average of 5 degree temperatures every night (that’s cold in Barcelona!). In the end, this show turned into quite the social experiment and we experienced some of the less visible sides of Barcelona’s streets, including junkies shooting up, prostitutes in action, undercover cops, young Gracia okupa-revolutionaries, and unexpected street art fans. Overall, a successful action, loads of exercise and just a plain old-fashioned good time…


Total pieces in each barrio

Poble Sec – 11                  Raval – 31                 Barrio Gótico – 24

Ribera/Borne – 24                Poble Nou – 17

Gracia – 13                   Eixample – 14

Map

Below is an abridged map of Barcelona showing some of the spots with our works. It only covers the very center of Barcelona, but as you can see above, the show spreads beyond the center, so it’s up to you to keep your eyes open.
