Lastplak is a group of around nine painters with different backgrounds and diverse skills. Our goal is to paint, no matter what surface, size or location. Our work can be found all over the world, but our homebase is Rotterdam, so that's where most of our stuff can be seen. Ja toch!
For the opening of the "Spaced" exhibition in the Nutshuis in The Hague we did a live-painting session and had Dj Boortorrie and Dj Acab spinning some records. We were painting with the full crew, excluding Oles who was in St. Petersburg giving workshops to cool Russian kids, but including Cosh and Luuk Bode this time. Despite the opening was not visited by a lot of people, the beers went down well and we had good fun, here some pictures.
During the 3 days of the Young Dock festival in de Rotterdamse Schouwburg we painted a new mural with the theme 'movement' for Theatergroep Siberia. This wall we painted with Boortorrie, Oles, Pinwin, Ox-Alien, Ces53, Mayb, Sake and our two guests painters Cosh and Lizer (who did a three day intern ship with us). The wall can be seen till the end of june 2010, after that the whole theatre will be restyled. Here some pictures, enjoy!
Last weekend we were at the Delft Skate Jam where Atelier Favela asked us to paint an old wooden Lundia file cabinet. Putting the thing together almost took more time then the actual painting, but thanks to some genius with ductape, we managed. There was no real theme, but somehow we always manage to get some sort of psycadelic vibe… Sunday show ups were Torrie, Thor, Oles, Grrt, BA, mr. Z, and special guest Mickey.
Last weekend during the annual De Wereld van Witte de With festival here in Rotterdam we painted the side of the wold famous bar De Witte Aap. This time our colour theme wasCMYK and we all painted monkeys. We also painted a van from the band Crappydog and a car from Convoi Exceptional. Here some pictures.
Yersterday we went to the Breakfest festival in Landgraaf, we also painted there last year. This time we painted a "schaftkeet" with the crew. Here some pics.
To our big surprise we got asked to paint at the infamous Zwarte Cross festival in de Achterhoek. Four days of camping, mud, beer, truckersballen, motorbikes, ekte tsjerrekters, more beer, alot of boeren and of course plenty of paint! Top Lastplak farmers Boortorrie, BA, Yen, MayB, ACAB and Oles visited tante Rikie together with mr. Daan Markus.com and had a super good time, hope to be back next year, heukehhh!!!
Last weekend Oles, MayB, Grrt, Boortorrie, Sterf, Ox-Alien, Pinwin & Thor went to the Greenbeats festival in the east of Holland. We brought our own personal trailer to chill and stash beers, paint and to take shelter from the occasional rain passing by. During the festival we painted two towers, a big canvas, a security van, a cow, a caravan a few girls and a security guard. The beers went down well and we had a great time. There were also Lastplak visuals on a big screen behind the dj's where our characters really came to life. Some video clips of this later this week, here already some pictures, enjoy!
