Tagtool

Ange Taggart’s artist in residence programme in Dundee ended a couple of weeks ago. The Final Gathering event gave the opportunity to get a glimpse of her work with Alistair Wilson at the central library, and the Guerilla Gallery launch party also featured a free-for-all Tagtool session.

In April 2010, it was six nights of Tagtooling on a vacant office building at the Via Tortona in the center of Milan – featuring Luca Barcellona and Marco Klefish. The purpose of the event, named Digital Graffiti Milano, was for local graffiti- and street artists to demonstrate their styles on a large scale.

“Bienenkino” is improvised live animation, music and narration for kids. The ensemble is part of Tetete, a group of artists aiming to provide quality off-mainstream children’s entertainment. Here are three videos from a concert on May 2nd 2010 at Theater Comedia in Cologne, featuring old and new characters from the Tetete universe.

OMA International invites you to take part in the Tagtool Chink Chank 2010, a community event at her headquarters in Tulln, Austria, from 22nd to 25th of April. Featuring workshops, discussions, work sessions, jams and performances.

When Ritsche asked me to join RZM as a guest for a gig in the Ukraine, among other things I was up for it because I saw a good opportunity to combine Tagtooling with traditional painting. We already had made some steps into that direction, but this was different.

In October 2009, the Multangular Tower of York, UK, was turned into a canvas for 10 days of Tagtool sessions by artists and the public. Check out our videos and images documenting the event here!

OMA International and Gaianova present ten days of finest Tagtool action in York, UK. The ancient Multangular Tower of Museum Gardens will be “The Wall of Light”, a canvas for daily artist performances and free-for-all Tagtool sessions as part of the Illuminating York festival, from the 23rd of October till the 1st of November.

May 2009 was a busy month. Among many performances, one thing stood out: the use of the Tagtool with dancers and circus artists. These sessions were experiments, fragments of a bigger picture that is still taking shape. Here are some happy accidents on video.

In March 2009, contemporary art space Choque Cultural of São Paulo, Brazil, ran an exhibition which showed works by four crews out of the Buenos Aires Street Art scene – as good an excuse as any for a large scale Tagtool session.
