KLADMUUR: Impressionistic video installation Definitief Def

Museum aan de A
3 October 2024 to 3 November 2024

About this activity.

Definitief Def is a short impressionistic film by artist and filmmaker Gabriel Lester. Lester, a former graffiti artist and hip-hop musician, grew up in the city of Groningen in the 1980s.

Based on his own experiences, supplemented with archive material and newly recorded images, Gabriel Lester returns in his video installation to the exciting period in which his crew painted large illegal murals on the walls of the city of Groningen. These actions were planned and executed down to the last detail. In addition to spray cans, their sports bags also contained tools to open doors or cut through barbed wire. These often nocturnal escapades can be compared to planning and executing a bank robbery. This well-known film genre forms the blueprint for an installation on two video screens, in which endless moving images are combined. In it, one follows a group of graffiti artists who travel through the city in the dead of night.
