'I love Bucharest' paints Universitate antiquarian shelves

19 August 2010

The antiquarian bookshelves in Universitate area of Bucharest will no longer tell a dull, gray story when closed during the evening. They will be painted with realistic-comical scenes in the everyday life in Bucharest by a group of artists involved in the 'I Love Bucharest' – the Adventures of Mr. Urban project. The organizers of this project are 'Asociatia din Pod' (The Attic Association) and Mora Foundation. The 22 bookshelves will be painted with comic-like drawings. The artists have already started to work on this project and should be ready in two weeks.

The project will continue with video animations in Bucharest metro stations in October and November. The organizers expect video animations from all those interested to contribute.

The project uses visual art to send messages about change and common sense, hoping to improve life in the community.

Previous projects within 'I love Bucharest include the metroART, which consisted in placing zebra-like benches in Victoriei Square metro station and painting on the walls in North Railway Station metro station.
