BLOOP FESTIVAL MILANO

BLOOP FESTIVAL MILANO consists of three sections, EXPERIENCE, SHOWCASE and KIDS.
 
BLOOP EXPERIENCE brings a set of eye teasing large scaled murals as new contributions to the OpenAir.Gallery . In the city with a pre-existing vibrant street art culture, a collaboration piece by Said Dokins (Mexico), SpY (Spain) and Biokip Atelier compose the word AMA (imperative for AMAR: to love), containing memories and sentences collected from the residents that described the neighborhood. Where the murals are located is a socially and cultural challenged area. Despite the difficulties the district faces, the residents are humane and extremely welcoming, united under compassion, love.  Dokins, SpY and Biokip Atelier leaves a contribution created with the residents embodying the neighborhood through art.

BLOOP SHOWCASE, is a collective exposition on calligraphy, meta-virtual reality, video mappings and other creative technologies. Visitors will be able to witness Said Dokins, who took part in the murals for BLOOP EXERIENCE, his limited edition artworks, in smaller dimensions with more intricate details. Video installation artist Lo Spino, with the sounds and music of Pineapple Crocodile will propose video mappings and a meta-virtual reality installation (with the reative technologies by Biokip Labs) that crosses over two worlds, virtual and physical. Biokip Atelier and AMADAMA will adorn the exposition with pieces of design based on intelligent light systems.

Last but not least, BLOOP KIDS, is dedicated to the little ones. Since the zero edition Ibiza, BLOOP has stressed the importance of children who carry the future on their little shoulders and will continue to do so in the Milan edition.  A calligraphy workshop by one of the world`s leading calligraffiti artists, Said Dokins and Biokip Atelier will take place in a open- air setting bringing children closer to the city of Milan through art. 

BLOOP FESTIVAL, is the world`s first celebration dedicated to proactive art with the ethos “ART IS FOR EVERYBODY”. Since its pilot edition in Ibiza back in 2011 its has always been a free and open to all event. 2019, starts off with the micro pilot edition in Milan in April and during the summer the 9th consecutive edition in Ibiza will be opening curtains. The BLOOP is renowned for its murals (over 60) that they have sprinkled across Ibiza island over the years. Colossal murals, fine arts, creative technologies applied to art, interactive installations, and more disciplines are exhibited as comprehensible art during the BLOOP.
