AAKASH NIHALANI @ VIENNA’S BLACK RIVER FESTIVAL

“Der Zeit ihre Kunst – der Kunst ihr Festival”

Street art is getting some real recognition and appreciation in the Imperial City this month. The “Black River” festival is Vienna’s first Street Art Festival and features the work of NYC local and Discosalt favorite Aakash Nihalani.  On my trip to Vienna this past July, I had one of the best days I can remember strolling along the underground art covered stretch of the river Danube that passes through the city.  Great company, great city and great art. The banks now display some of the festival art as part of the festivals street projects starting in mid October and there is also a film series and a group exhibition to follow. Wish I could hop a flight back to check this out before it’s over…
