SAATCH & SAATCHI: 4C SIGHTSEEING TOUR

A unique selection of work from some of today's most talented emerging visual artists promises to help brands seeking to understand contemporary leading-edge urban culture. Sightseeing Tour is a selection of work from 24 emerging artists from across the world. The city is their artistic playground and offers the ingredients of a contemporary tale: rules, signs, habits, private and public spaces are the starting point for narratives.
Curated by CULT-GEIST, with the help of Miss van Gaalen, the body of work explores how urban culture inspires creativity. It is the first published output from 4C; a long-term programme from CULT-GEIST and Gum @ Saatchi that celebrates the convergence of culture, content, communication and commerce.

JR FACE 2 FACE GETS RAVE REVIEWS

It was a year in the making but the JR exhibition in Amsterdam and at Foam is a huge success. We've spent a whole week (both day and night!) pasting buildings all over the city. At the extremely busy opening party there were rave reviews. In fact, the reactions of the public and critics alike have been positively overwhelming! Thanks to everybody who has helped to make this happen...

MASSIVE AMOUNT OF MEDIA INTEREST IN JR EXHIBITION

There has been plenty of media attention for the JR exhibition. We made the cover of De Groene Amsterdammer. And there were articles in De Groene Amsterdammer, Nieuwe Revu, NRC Handelsblad, Het Parool (twice), Amsterdam Weekly, Identity Matters, Bright, GUP, Foam Magazine, Reload Magazine, De Volkskrant, Echo, Goodies, De Morgen, State Magazine, Glamcult and there are more to follow...
