Some really nice work here in Dubai. It's really great to see them trying to bring some character to the city with art. Here are a few pics from today!

That ETAM wall is fantastic. I really love their colour palette.

Really good article on this in the ST Magazine today from Waldermar Januszczak, worth checking out.

I won't post a link as it'll be behind a pay wall but he addresses a concern i had with the whole project (although for me it's an issue with Dubai as a whole tbh). His conclusion, summarised in his closing; 'I came to Dubai fearing that street art would lose its soul by coming here. I left Dubai 100% certain that it had not'.

lol at the title of the article. "Can you buy culture"? 

Fluff piece bought and paid for.

Got back out to Dubai last week and managed to take a look at these and I have to say that they do look great. Not much I can add to the pictures already shown above but I'll see what I have that gives a different perspective on any of them.

There are lots of murals in Dubai by many artists.

My interview with Fats Patrol

[Schrödinger's Chat]

Hi, could anyone advise on a good company to post a tube to Dubai (from the UK)? Any idea on a reasonable cost?

I have been quoted £95 for a tube, insured for £800 by my regular PO.

Thanks.

[artzzzy]

I use UPS for all international shipping.
Costs much less than the post office and is more efficient.

You can estimate the costs directly on their site.
Select the method you want, pay and print the label.
All in a few minutes.

[MrMagoo]

do NOT use UPS.

If you have any issue, you're sutffed, they do not reply to anything, and customer services are completely useless.

[Poster Bob]

Parcel2go or Parcel Monkey but buy insurance on the secondary market which will only cover loss, not damage. That's the cheap but risky way.

[John The Badgers]

Via work SchrodingersChat, we ship items overseas quite a bit, have used all the main players.

Not art we are involved with, but you get a feel for how the shipping companies operate, and if I was sending, I would use Fedex/TNT.

They also have a handy 'Economy Service', so although takes slightly longer, does save quite a bit on the 'Express' which people like DHL tend to use/offer.

No idea on price, but using sites like PosterBob has mentioned, will give you a good comparable.

Be very very careful, I have sent over 15 pieces to Dubai in last 10 years
I am out of pocket for 2 cases - used UPS and Royal Mail. Both were a joke so i would recommend taking it yourself.

You also have another 2 issues to consider when it gets to Dubai :
1. customs clearance - no tracking for Royal Mail and heavy costs if they dont know what it is.
2. recipients delivery address - PO Box, work address, cant use home addressed normally etc. Typically if you use a PO Box then the recipient will need to visit one of the large Post offices and good luck with that process.

Sorry to be negative but want you to know how bad it could be
