Red Bull: Art Of Can

Written on April 1, 2008 by KiwiPulse - Posted in Art

If you ask me what can I do with the empty Red Bull cans, I will tell you that I could create a unique piece of art. It’s what Red Bull have been doing with their exhibition “Red Bull Art of Can” since 1997. The exhibition have been held throughout the world from Europe to New Zealand.

This year the exhibition will take place in Houston,Texas US from July 11 to July 25. This is actually a competition that is open to everyone. Whoever can build, sculpt, weld, glue, hammer, bend, fold, print, tape and paint can enter the competition. The artists around the world are asked to create works of art using the Red Bull cans as the primary medium. For more information on this competition click on this link Red Bull Art Of Can. You will see below some pictures of the amazing works that have been done in London, England back in 2005.

    This is a great Idea for advertising from Red Bull. In a sense it’s free advertising, and recycling at the same time as being art.

    Creative. Melikes Red Bull very much.

    Red Bull will be soon unbanned from European countries because they’ve replaced the taurine with something similar.

    May I will drink my first Red Bull soon :mrgreen:

    Absolutely astonishing what the creative mind can do when provoked. One man’s junk is always another mans treasure. Great stuff…

    I would not mind seeing a red bull sales graph during the exhibition and the pics going viral on the net. Looks quite interesting though. I like the lizard. Or is it chameleon?

    These are all very cool. I especially like the kick line! I’ll have to tell my Red-Bull-obsessed friend in in Houston to go see these in real life this summer.

    Red bull definitely knows how to make the most out of their marketing.

    I would say that the praying mantis is my favourite. The detail is amazing.

    Well done Red Bull

    Some of those are so impressive. Unlike the new Red Bull Cola, that’s nasty!

    I love the can-can girls. So simple, but it’s brilliant.

    no critical comments here??? :(

    i dont think thats art. it’s advertising. the only message there is: drink red bull.

    to quote banksy:

    “The thing I hate most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.”

    let’s hope this is not the future of art!

  22. Katie on June 10th, 2008 at 1:03 am

    I don’t want to drink read bull because of this — i want to cut up cans and use them for their colors! I think the advertising depends on the person, and perhaps your average DIY person wouldn’t want to drink read bull

    There are rumors in circulation that the red bull will be renamed into the red minotaur in the year 3000.

    It will contain a liquid which helps to grow red body cells very fast.
