Noticia: tendremos las vacas en 2009.
Organizers of 2009 CowParade Taipei invited local artists yesterday to design an
original cow for the international street art exhibition which will be coming to
Taiwan the first week of January 2008.
Submitted proposals will be accepted
from now until September and the commissioned artists will be provided with a
blank fiberglass, life-size cow to paint his or her proposed design on and a
budget from the sponsors of the exhibitions.
"Everybody can be an artist,"
said Jonathan Chen, a commissioner of 2009 CowParade Taipei.
Although
designs may be submitted by anyone, Chen stressed that no more than 200 cows
would be made available to the public, based on the quality of the submitted
proposals.
CowParade is an international street art event, which has
captured the hearts and imaginations of hundred of millions of people around the
world since 1999. To date, nearly 5,000 of the three-dimensional fiberglass cow
canvases have been created by more than 10,000 artists.
2009 CowParade
Taipei is modeled after Chicago's popular Cows on Parade held ten years ago.
Since the Chicago Cows on Parade, there have been over 70 CowParade exhibits
worldwide including New York City, London, Tokyo, Atlanta and Kansas City.
Taipei will be the 65th city to host a cow parade.
