- Details: WOOL – Covilhã Urban Art Festival, that merged in 2011 in Covilhã, for various reasons beyond our control, didn’t get more support or funding for a second edition, so obviously we searched for other geographies, new projects and new formats. The first place that welcome us was LXFactory in Lisbon (as Rua Rodrigues Faria, 103 – www.lxfactory.com), undeniably the most creative and artistic center of the capital, which was installed in an old flourmill and later printer industry, a place filled with old and gray facades. This piece is one from the 3rd edition of WOOL ON TOUR, a installation by João Cruz, which felt a bit banned by the wool, because he was the only installation ever.
- Biography: João Cruz was born in 6th January of 1986, in Sesimbra. When he was a kid he wanted to be a cowboy or have a punk rock band, but never had the money to buy a horse and his mother never liked much punks. One day while he was doing some drawings for the cover of his pseudo-band, he decided to be an artist. Later he graduates in Painting at Fine Arts Faculty of Lisbon University, which ended in 2011. The following year he participated at the course "Individual Project" in Ar.Co. He has several collective projects as "MANIFESTO" (street art project), the fanzine "NICOTINE", and the design / photography blog "THE SEVENTY COOKIES" and he's the only "Garage Artist" European of the international brand "Insight". Participated in several solo and group exhibitions, made an artistic residence in Lisbon, won awards and dimensions in painting and tapestry. His work ranges from drawing, painting, installation, video and tapestry. After all he does a lot and does not do anything right. Currently lives and works in Lisbon produces at a rate of one punk guitar melody with an attitude of "Cowboy star", inspired by the surfing, skateboarding, music, superheroes, people and smiles.
