- Volkswagen Art CarsSWAB Contemporary art fair ART CARS PROJECTS Tina Ziegler was approached by the SWAB Contemporary Art Fair in Barcelona to curate and produce a large scale art installation to fill the exterior entrance. Etika presented ARTBOX, a project which showcased the work of a hand selected group of urban-contemporary artists from Spain and abroad. Each artists was invited to customise one ARTBOX, sized 1.80 x 1.80 meters. Using mediums such as Montana spray paint, acrylic paint, house paint or found objects, the 3-dimensional wooden boxes were entirely covered on all four sides. The 10 cube installation was placed on display at the exterior entrance of SWAB, creating a labyrinth of art to welcome the 20,000 expected visitors. The curator of this project, Tina Ziegler of Etika Projects, aimed to introduce SWAB visitors to a new generation of contemporary artists while inviting viewers to interact with art in a new way. Artistas: Txemy,Pez, Malakkai, Eme de M, Ripo, Crajes, Btoy, Cisko, Cristian Blaxer, Luca Ledda
