Augarten brennt – NetRagua

“Augarten brennt” is a contest for street artists supported by the Porzellanmanufaktur Augarten (Augarten porcelain manufactory). Dating back to a privilege given by the emperor to Claudius Innocentius du Paquier in 1718, the Augarten porcelain manufactory is Europe’s second oldest producer of hard-paste porcelain. For the project “Augarten brennt” – Street Artists could participate via Facebook and Twitter through a group called Paint the City. Messages were posted by a mysterious activist called Net Ragua (backwards=Augarten) announcing that he would spray a historical monument as a protest. A protest for more space to express urban arts. Soon afterwards a video was posted on Youtube showing a group breaking into the Augarten porcelain manufactory spraying all it’s interior. This video was banned 3 times from Youtube and generated a huge buzz. A couple of days later another video showing various Graffiti pieces from Austrian Artists ended with a link to the www.augartenbrennt.at website, where all the information for the artist contest was presented. By public voting people could participate and choose their favorite piece. The top 3 works will be produced by the Augarten porcelain manufactory. At the end of the project the top 3 pieces will be auctioned at the Dorotheum Vienna.
Big up to Augarten porcelain manufactory for making such a project possible! Thanks to Ms. Claudia Uth, Ms. Barbara Goess and the whole Augarten porcelain manufactory Crew
