Tagtool

In March 2009, contemporary art space Choque Cultural of São Paulo ran an exhibition called “Buenos Aires en Choque”, which showed works by four crews out of the Buenos Aires Street Art scene – Fase, Doma, Bs As Stencil and Run Don’t Walk.

We used the opportunity to hook up Choque Cultural and our friends from Visualfarm, a new media group founded by VJ Alexis, in order to do a large scale Tagtool session. We set up in Rua João Moura, right across the street from the gallery. The session went on for hours until it was interrupted by rain. There were lots of passers-by stopping, cheering and participating – I remember an elderly lady writing pro-abortion messages on the Tagtool. And of course there were football slogans, with a game by the Corinthians – Ronaldo’s team – being on that day.
