Diesel Wall is an international art contest that aims to bring intriguing/inspiring/insightful/inciting contemporary ideas to giant urban canvases in city centres around the world.
Launched on March 3rd, the 5th edition of the Diesel Wall art contest continues its tour around the world and reaches four new corners of the planet: Manchester (UK), Barcelona (Spain), Zurich (Switzerland) and NY (US).
Until May 12th 2008 anyone from any country in the world can apply online and submit his/her designs for the chance to be featured in this new edition of the project and conquer a wall. The artists will have total freedom in sending concepts: art is a means of unconstrained self-expression.
With this philosophy, Diesel created Diesel Wall five years ago, a competition dedicated to everyone, anywhere, offering the opportunity to change the urban landscape by showcasing works of art on an extraordinary scale. A monumental freestanding vertical wall centred in the world’s most important cities. The ultimate goal being to salvage what prominent precious public space we have left.
Diesel Wall will take your art, your power of dissuasion, your ability to disrupt, incite and intrigue, mystify and comment. Artworks - conceived for a specific Wall or for all four Walls - can use painting, photography, video, and performance, light, sound, text, experimental concepts including 3D, performance and show elements are also welcome.
