SAFEWALLS | LONDON 2011 (2/3) from SAFEWALLS on Vimeo.

SAFEWALLS brings the vintage circus poster into the 21st century by pairing up visual artists from around the world to create original art posters inspired by Cirque du Soleil.

For the London stop over, the artist are:  Jon Burgerman, Sweet Toof, Glenn Anderson

Every month for a period of 12 months, a temporary SAFEWALLS exhibit will be held in a predetermined city where a Cirque du Soleil show is running. In each city, three artists will be commissioned to produce an original alternative poster inspired by the show. The exhibit will be cumulative, growing in size as new artworks are added to the collection. The exhibit will physically travel the world in art galleries where Cirque du Soleil has touring or resident shows.
