Significant graffiti event of the year 2010 (in Asia)
Would like to introduce ''MOS'' & ''KUL sign festival'' BIGGEST event of the year. What are they and what are the differences. A little intro about ''MOS'' first...
Meeting of Styles (MOS) - International Art Festival Mural ( Graffiti ), which is derived from the German festival Wall Street Meeting. The main idea behind the event is to showgraffiti as one of the emerging fields of art, but also to enable young people to express their talents.
The trip that we went to photograph on graffiti works (which was posted earlier). They are the ones that are painted by lots of graffiti artists during this '' MOS'' event. And found out that ''MOS'' and ''KUL sign festival'' are the same event. Had interview a graffiti artist (and a writter) about this event. Below is the reason he explained both event are the same...
''Actually..This event are call 'meeting of style MOS'..and this event is a worldwide event u can check at www.meetingofstyles.com..and malaysia hv been chosen as one of their venue..but to get permission from government..which is DBKL the organizer from malaysia which is super sunday concept store hv do a talking with dbkl..n dbkl want this event to change a name to 'KUL sign fesival' just to get a permission to doing this event at sg klang..so the organizer hv agree to use that name n not 'Meeting of style 2010' just to get a permission to bomb at sg klang..actually this event hv been prepare last year..but last minute the organizer need to change the date n the event name..just to please the government..the actual date is on 27/28 november..not at 4/5 december..this event MOS is the first on asian stage...at oversea this event is like a anual year event for them..so hopefully next year there will be no problem like this..that why u search about MOS there is nothng much abt it..because the event have change name to 'KUL sign'..only writer who know the story from the begining call and know this event as 'MOS' n not 'KUl sign'. ''
