This week, JET8 shares the Jorge Rodríguez Gerada art take-over of DEN Culture; the JET8 Foundation announces a new Head of Art to spearhead the use of DENs in the creative community and industry; and Citikids of Singapore get a Halloween treat.
Jorge Rodríguez Gerada DEN Culture take-over
Jorge Rodriguez Gerada gifted the Barcelona-based DEN Hall wall with one of his signature larger-than-life wall murals during an exclusive DEN Culture event held on the 11th of October.
One of the most relevant urban artists of his generation, Jorge emerged in the 90’s as a revolutionary artist and social commentator. He continues to spearhead the urban arts scene by turning to the power of decentralised engagement networks to share his work with a global audience.
