Heesco for Art Series Hotels at Outpost
OUTPOST, on Cockatoo Island, is the largest street art festival in the Southern Hemisphere. Running until December the 11th it has transformed the gritty industrial spaces of Cockatoo Island into an explosion of urban art, with more than 150 artists from around the globe creating original works on site.
Curated by Sydney Harbour Federation Trust and aMBUSH Gallery the festival features exhibitions and forums that promise to immerse visitors into global street art culture.
Must-sees include George Shaw’s Oi You! collection boasting works by Os Gemeos, Swoon, Faile and the world’s best known and most influential street artist Banksy.
Award-winning Mongolian/Australian street artist Heesco is working with event sponsor Art Series Hotels; he has been spray painting during live events and working on large works – such as the Tassie Devils piece below. Art Series Hotels have also been running forum talks on Sunday afternoons on stimulating topics such as how to collect street art, the politics of street art and the future of the genre.
Escape the mainland and immerse yourself in street art on Cockatoo Island.
The Outpost Project is on at Cockatoo Island until December 11. Entry is free with a ferry ticket.
