Events

A graff performance is possible with all kinds of events:
graffiti festival, concert, exhibition fair, street festival, TV show, show setting…

The aim is to create frescoes in public and to invest in the life and cultural events of a city.

Painting is built in front of the spectator and becomes a living art.

Intervening since its beginnings in the world of the spectacle, to realize decors or real performances, Hetaone is involved in a mediating action.

The performances mean making frescoes in public and getting involved in the life and cultural events of the city: Festivals, book fair or comic strip, youth days, concert, …)

For the spectator, painting is no longer a fixed object, it is built in front of him. As for the painter, his whole approach is highlighted.

For the festival “Chalon dans la rue” 2004 and 2005 the “hetaone sessions” brought together more than 80 of the best national and international graffiti artists (Spain, Canada, Croatia…) to paint in a few days two thousand square meters of walls…
