North West Walls #3

The North West Walls have been a striking feature of the Festivalpark since 2014. Rock Werchter has shown that art has its place at a festival and that it works. North West Walls has lent the festival fabulous artistic allure. As art projects go, this is a highly ambitious one. North West Walls is a mark on the landscape that can be admired long after the festival period has ended. It is a permanent installation. But then again it is not. Because it looks different every year.

Under the curatorship of Arne Quinze, the North West Walls are brought to life by a new set of street artists every year.  Arne Quinze has invited six massive talents for North West Walls 2016: Bezt Etam (Poland), Alexandre Orion (Brasil), Low Bros (Germany), Nosego (USA), Case Maclaim (Germany) en Deih (Spain).
