Wallin’ Walls:
The Current

This project, 'The Current', is a rotating wall project that Wallin' has been managing for five years now. Located on the Ajuinlei, in the heart of the City of Ghent, the wall stands prominently along the waterway that runs through the city.

With a size of 4 meters by 5 meters, the wall is a unique challenge. The medium size often appears smaller when viewed from across the water, making it a deceptively demanding canvas for artists. Over the years, we have occasionally opened up the wall as a testing ground for local talent, giving emerging artists the opportunity to prove that they are ready, sometimes with mixed results.
Every year we invite a selection of artists to take care of this canvas. This year, we're renewing our commitment to providing both established and emerging artists with a platform. The project continues to highlight the diversity of graffiti styles and aerosol techniques, showcasing the evolution and creativity within the art form.

Everyone is welcome to apply and present themselves as candidate.

Have a look at our art prints and support the project!

We already received the following artists on the wall:

Solo Cink, Resto, Aphex, Toys, Samor, Xuas, Siger, Hipsterskulls, Digi5, Maris, Magnus Mori, Arrf The Wolf, Reinier Landwher, Hollie Hood, Mark Foreal, Kitsune Jolene, A Squid Called Sebastian, Loves, Eres125, Nekvel, LaKus, Dansku, Legrand, EyesB, KLaas Van der Linden, Pablo Dallas, Kiuw, Stan Slabbinck, Jamz Jameson, Kymo One, Hoer, Keep Punching Joe, Kiewie en Benjamin Van Oost

About the
Artists

Solo Cink (BE)

This skilled calligraffiti artist from Brussels reinterprets Gothic letters and transforms them into the building blocks of geometric and colourful works, which almost look like mandalas. Black, white and gold are colours that regularly recur in his work and contribute to the mystical atmosphere. The artist discovered calligraphy during his travels through Asia, after which he completely shaped this style of writing. Oriental cultures are a great source of inspiration for him. Anyone who takes the time can even find the 'Ohm' symbol and other references to spiritual wisdom in his murals.

Resto (BE)

Resto (1961) palmed our country with a storm of gigantic, loving, warped, modern and mythical wonder. With vivid colors he dances through styles. He portrays giants and insane living machines, always with a wink and a comic twist. They have become infamous for their sheer size and epic nature.

Xuas (BE)

Xuas's paintings seem to come from a fantasy world. This experienced graffiti artist is known for his enchanting use of colour and imaginative scenes that immediately make you dream. Both on small and large surfaces his colourful style comes into its own.

WATERWEG — Kunst langs de Gentse waterlijn

Water vormt al eeuwenlang de ruggengraat van Gent. De Leie en de Schelde tekenen niet alleen de grenzen van de stad, maar verbinden ook buurten, functies en ritmes. Met het project WATERWEG, gerealiseerd binnen het wijkbudget van de Binnenstad, werd die waterlijn tijdelijk ingezet als drager voor hedendaagse kunst.

Het uitgangspunt was eenvoudig: onderzoeken hoe kunst een betekenisvolle rol kan spelen langs de Gentse waterwegen, zonder de plek te domineren. Niet één centrale locatie, maar een reeks kleine ingrepen, verspreid langs de oevers. In de praktijk kwam de focus te liggen op het traject tussen het Patershol en De Krook.

Planned For Demolition

In een voormalige supermarkt te Gent ontstaat een tijdelijke tentoonstelling, vlak voor het gebouw verdwijnt. Kunstenaars vullen de lege muren en open ruimten met werk dat specifiek voor dit korte moment wordt gemaakt, volledig bewust van zijn vergankelijkheid. De structuur, het achtergelaten materiaal en de rauwe sfeer van het pand vormen mee het decor en de inspiratiebron.
