Magic city: die Kunst der Straße, the art of the street

“Our MAGIC CITY is a place and a non-place. It is the city as subject and canvas, neither theme park nor stage set. This exhibition is a celebration of the universal character of cities as well as a love letter to their infinite diversity.” Carlo McCormick MAGIC CITY is always changing; the entire city has become an artists’ studio, an urban museum of the imagination. More than 40 of the world’s best street artists specially painted, sprayed, scratched, glued, or even crocheted for this tailor-made city of dreams. With every stopover, new works will appear as others disappear, just as in the streets of any city. In each host city, the organizers support new collaborations, guest artists, and happenings. MAGIC CITY – THE ART OF THE STREET documents the beginning of this exceptional touring exhibition.
