ART CLASH R.I.P.

2011-06-06T14:32:00.004+01:00

Dear friends of Art Clash

When we started Art Clash in 2005 the concept was quite unique.
Now - six years later - you can find live art battles almost everywhere.
For us a reason to continue in another direction. Stay tuned.
We would like to thank all artists, supporters, sponsors and visitors for having made Art Clash to one of the best live art battles worldwide. Thank you for your trust and love!

ART CLASH 2010

2010-03-29T08:33:00.002Z

Next Art Clash in Switzerland will be in 2011!
We decided to continue the every two years rhythm. . . just like the olympics.
So, there will be no Art Clash in Switzerland in 2010.
Stay tuned.

ART CLASH 2007

2007-03-21T18:44:00.000Z

What is "Art Clash"?

__EN:
„Art Clash“ is the „Battle of the year“ of design, a „Write for gold“ for graphic designers, a MC-Battle for artists.
„Art Clash“ is a live tournament over 3 rounds between 16 international graphic designers, writers, artists and painters.
In each round the artists get a different object, which has to be painted originally.
After each round a renowned jury estimate the artistic objects and decide who will be able to continue into the next round.
Allowed are all non-digital painting techniques.
The winner of the final round awaits fame, prize money and his own t-shirt collection for Carhartt.
Still more the basic idea is a get-together of national and international artists, who compete against each other in an easy way and cope their creations with each other.

__DE:
Der „Art Clash“ ist das „Battle of the Year“ des Designs, ein „Write for Gold“ für Grafiker, ein MC-Battle für Künstler.
Der „Art Clash“ ist ein Turnier über 3 Runden zwischen 16 internationalen Grafikern, Writern, Künstlern und Maltalenten.
In jeder Runde gilt es die vorgegebenen Objekte möglichst originell und gekonnt zu gestalten. Anschliessend an jede Runde bewertet eine renommierte Jury die gestalteten Objekte und entscheidet über Weiterkommen.
Es ist jede nicht-digitale Maltechnik erlaubt.
Dem Sieger der Finalrunde winken Ruhm, Preisgeld und seine eigene T-Shirt Kollektion für Carhartt.
Viel wichtiger ist jedoch die Grundidee, nämlich das Zusammentreffen von Künstlern, welche in einer ungezwungenen Form gegeneinander malen.
