"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
welcomed us was LXFactory in Lisbon (at Rua Rodrigues Faria, 103 - www.lxfactory.com),
undeniably the most creative and artistic centre of the capital, which was
installed in an old flourmill and later printer industry, a place filled with
old and gray facades.
The first edition of
the activities baptized as WOOL ON TOUR occurred in May 2012 and the format
designed was to challenge a group of artists from different backgrounds and
professional experiences, to work side by side for a week, sharing a whole
variety of practices and techniques."
