The Street Art Walking Tour:
An urban tour of site-specific art from a group of five Madrid-based street artists: 3TTMan, Spok, Nano 4814, Eltono and Nuria Mora.

For the Walking Tour, I painted four pieces in the streets around the Tate and did the Public/Private signboards installation in collaboration with Nuria Mora.

Preparing the “Public/Private” signboard project with Nuria Mora.

“Dear Visitor, This signboard is part of Eltono and Nuria’s artwork presented with the Tate Modern. If you want to actively participate in the installation and keep the placard, please bring it to the Tate Modern during “The Long Weekend” on the 24th, 25th and 26th of May between 14.00 and 18.00. It will be signed and numbered by the artists and given back to you with its certificate at the end of the weekend. We kindly ask you to leave the signboard in its place in case you are not interested in this project, allowing someone else the possibility to participate. Thank you, Eltono and Nuria”
