Streetart wheatpaste tutorial, glue 'A Paper Monument for the Paperless'

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, you learn all the insider's tips on how to glue your street art in public space.
Call for action: Order a set of posters and raise a paper monument!
Wanted: street artists, activists, civil-disobedient and cheerful wheatpasters for the raise of “A Paper Monument for the Paperless”.
A Paper Monument for the Paperless’ is a monument in the making, which should generate more visibility and attention to undocumented refugees. Anyone can make a contribution by requesting an A2 size poster set (in the form of a newspaper with 31 woodcut portraits of these refugees, made by a diverse group of artists and illustrators) and pasting them around or offering them to their local politicians.
We worked with “We Are Here” which is a group comprising refugees living in Amsterdam. Due to neither being entitled to social housing nor allowed to work, its members are often forced to live on the street. The group decided to make visible the inhumane situation in which they live, no longer hiding, but showing the situation of refugees that are ‘out of procedure’ in The Netherlands. Thanks to the collective power of the refugees and the help of many supporters, the group has already existed for around four years. (Source: wijzijnhier.org/)

We have reserved thousands of posters, to spread and paste through cities in and beyond Europe. Order here a set of posters and calculate the shipping prices, if you want to glue them in public space: www.himmelsbach.nl/shop/produ...

About me:
Visual artist and social designer Domenique Himmelsbach de Vries creates interventions that overcome social spectatorship, and questions conventional approaches to social issues. In an often playful way, he engages with people outside his own network. With a certain lightness, his work initiates a dialogue between people with different convictions, values, and backgrounds.
His work is part of the collections of the Domijnen museum in Sittard, and the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam. NRC Handelsblad, Het Parool, and RTL News have all covered his work. Himmelsbach has exposed his work in Amsterdam, Berlin, Ghent, and New York.

    @danielbee8834 Hi there, good question. The average instant dissolved glue powder would last for at least a week or more, depending on the climate. I keep my bucket in my studio fridge, which enhances its freshness. Adding wood glue significantly enhances its durability due to its preservatives. I've kept some of this mixed glue for half a year in my fridge without it decaying.

    Like this man said don't wheatpaste over other people's graffiti!! It is art, even if you don't think so, and the artists behind it take it very seriously. It is viewed as disrespect to cover or damage someone else's graffiti art and they will follow suit to fight back! Can also get you beat up, robbed and whatnot. Work with your local graffiti artists!! Most of us are good dudes and enjoy political commentary and art of all kinds and will gladly help you out, hell we'll even make sure nobody else touches your art (some graffiti writers will disregard wheatpaste or other forms of street art because it's "not graffiti" and pretend it's not even there, but even they will respect someone's art if the community is behind you- hell if the community likes you enough we'll beat up people for going over your art) Just remember we all share the walls for our art!

    Just start with xeroxing, normal b&w copy's on thin 70 or 80 grams paper will do. Later you can figure out how to screen print, or just order big format posters at your cheap printerette or press.

    it's a Dutch newspaper press called Rodi rotatie druk. It is cheap for the quantity but the downside is that you need to order 5000+ newspapers. Where are you based? I would suggest to find a riso printer to print a2. A lot of Street artists like JR also use black and white laser printers, though I don't know a afordable address for that.

    Hi there, that's the problem with inkjet printers, some of them can print with water-resistant ink, but standard they print with water-soluble ink. The best is to print with toner-based printers like laser printers(normal copy machines) or order somewhere your posters and ask if the ink is water resistant. Offset and silkscreen prints are often used outdoors.

    Thanks for your interest: Put some glue on the surface, stick the poster on the wall, smooth the poster with your brush/broom and seal the poster with an extra layer of glue on top of the poster. If you want the posters to be completely smooth, you can choose to first smear the paper with glue. Then it expands and pulls super tight as it dries. Wet posters are only very inconvenient if you stick them outside during windy weather.

    Yea, thin paper works faster than thick paper. Mind that you dont print with a inkjet printer unless it uses water resistant ink(rare). Normal copy machines, riso prints, laser prints, silkscreen prints with acrylic ink and all ink that is oil based will not dissolve by the glue.
