German artists decorated an apartment block in Magnitogorsk
A first stage of the Open-air Museum ofEuropean and Asian Cities project has come to an end in Magnitogorsk. As a part
of the project two graffiti artists from Germany, Marcus Genesius and Andreas
von Schraznovski have decorated a house number 123 on the Sovetskaya Street.
From now on the wall carries a painting of a couple of hands holding a paper
plane launched from Yekaterinburg.
The artists' perfect photorealistic technique
is well-known far beyond Germany. The Magnitogorsk project has been supported
by the German General Consulate in Yekaterinburg.
The idea has come out the new brand
"Magnitogorsk – where Europe meets Asia". As the city is a place of
extraordinary historic and cultural heritage and geographic location.
According to the open-air Museum of European
and Asian Cities project's idea, selected cities of Europe and Asia have been
offered to decorate facades of Magnitogorsk in their own unique styles
reflecting their history and culture. Artists from Austria and China are next
to take part in the project.
