ASK AN ARTIST WITH SNORK ONE

DATE: Thursday 19th March
TIME: 16:00-17:00
PLACE: Parken Bakeri, Forskningsparken, Gaustadalléen 21, 0349 Oslo

Welcome to "Ask an Artist" – a talk series where you can ask graffiti and street artists all your questions!

Are you curious about a specific technique, or wondering how to nurture your own creativity in everyday life? Perhaps an artist’s perspective can offer new ways of approaching a topic – or simply remind us to view life with more playfulness and joy. Artists can inspire us in countless ways to discover our own creative voice.

This time, you’ll meet Simon Alfredo Compagnet Diaz, also known as Snork One. Working with visual communication and motion design, his visual identity flows between abstract art, street art, and graffiti. He is also the organizer behind the first ever “Meeting of Styles” graffiti gathering in Norway, which will take place in Økern this summer! 

At Forskningsparken you can see his most recent artwork - a colorful mural made in collaboration with Street Art Oslo, Forskningsparken and ArtBio. The painting is inspired by a Rube Goldberg machine: a chain reaction–type machine or contraption intentionally designed to perform a simple task in a comically overcomplicated way, which Diaz hopes will give people something new to discover every time they walk by.

The talk will be in English.
