Two years ago, Goal started a huge art project decorating the defunct premises of Jøtul foundries with enormous graffiti paintings along with more than 50 different artists.

Throughout the ages, graffiti painters have been looking for abandoned premises where you can stand to paint undisturbed, sheltered from the weather, the enormous premises at Kværnerbyen in Oslo were the perfect starting point for a project that would attract artists from Norway and abroad.

During the period of the project, paintings by more than 50 different artists were listed to paint enormous paintings on the 8,000 square meters of walls that surrounded the building over three floors.

The premises are now closed and darkened in anticipation of being demolished and it is no longer possible to see the artworks.

This book is the only thing left of this monumental art project.
