There are two ways to admire this mural: go to Bassano del Grappa, in the railway underpass of via Tabacco, redeveloped thanks to the artist's hand, or watch the video produced for the occasion, which documents the various phases of the work, starting from a degraded wall up to the fruition by the public.
Ericailcane's intervention is part of the RAME project in Bassano, one of the most ambitious at the moment in the field of regeneration and cultural development of city spaces and suburbs neglected or forgotten by everyday life.
"The RAME project, conceived about two years ago by Andrea Crestani from Bassano, creative director of the initiative, has become one of the projects with the highest public impact of the Culture Department of Bassano. The city's Urban Center has also taken part in the project, which has a support role in the planning of the interventions and in the dissemination of the project among the resident population. The urban art interventions of the RAME project are in line with a general approach for the city of Bassano which also sees artistic interventions outside the conventional cultural spaces, to enhance the relationships with the public space, in particular the suburbs. It is an intelligent way to offer new points of view to urban areas at risk of degradation, and to add visual and semantic value to glimpses of the city landscape without a particular identity, but which are to all intents and purposes scenarios that see the daily passage of thousands of citizens moving from one part of the city to another. "
Ericailcane's is the third major street art intervention in the city, after Pixel Pancho in the back of the Old Hospital and Koes in via Portici Lunghi.
In the coming months the RAME project will continue with the creation of other street art interventions and other initiatives to disseminate urban culture with the aim of building a real itinerary of national appeal.
