The Blue Balls Festival is a Swiss music and arts festival which every year transforms the lakeside of Lucerne for 9 days and attract more than 100,000 visitors. The Blue Balls Festival presents national and international stars, newcomers and young talents during 120 events of music, art, video, film and talk. The 20th Blue Balls Festival took place from 20 to 28  july 2012 at the KKL Lucerne, the Pavilion and the Schweizerhof Hotel.

Our turn arrived friday 27th of july, on a stage in the KKL plaza, and we had to realize a painting on a 1,90 x 1,90 meters canvas during 90 minutes of time. We used acrylic paint and spray cans and we realized "The Experienced Traveller", now property of the Blue Balls organization.

More about our live painting on our website, and more abotui Blue Balls here.

On 2nd september 2011, we partecipated in the "Paint Club" Swiss competition at the "Rok" club in Luzern (CH), which consisted in an "art battle" between three teams of artists (2 artists in every team). With a subject decided just before the start ("BlockParty"), we had ninety minutes to create a painting (improvising) using acrylics and markers.

In the end, two judges and the audience chose our painting as the winner, and then we got the opportunity to participate in the European finals of the "Paint Club" in Berlin, that will probably be in 2012.
