I already wrote <a href="http://abduzeedo.com/abduzeedo-visits-illustrative-exhibition-berlin-part-i">a first introduction part</a>. This time I'll show the art show MTV organized with their MTV Playground community. Enjoy a very nice art battle.</h3> <!--break--><!--break--><h3>Short about Illustrative</h3> <p>Illustrative is the selftitled leading international forum for contemporary illustration and graphic arts. It takes place one time a year but in two different cities around the globe. Every year the exhibition displays an inspiring collection of current illustrative und graphical art with over 600 works from more than 60 artists.</p> <p>Over the course of two weeks, the festival celebrates the illustrative arts, presents new talents and trends, exchanges ideas, marvels at progressive technologies, and rediscovers forgotten styles.</p> <p>Read more about the illustrative in <a href="http://abduzeedo.com/abduzeedo-visits-illustrative-exhibition-berlin-part-i">Abduzeedo visits Illustrative Exhibition Part I</a></p> <h3>MTV Playground</h3> <p>Additionally - this year - MTV joined the party presenting their art community <a href="http://www.swatchmtvplayground.com">MTV Playground</a>. Inside an old church they came up with lots of playful stuff where people had to interact with design like a light graffiti room, showcases with remote controles and tables where you could design your own typograpic print.</p> <p>On Saturday MTV arranged an art battle between two artists. The duo of Art Directors <a href="http://benandjulia.com">Ben &amp; Julia</a> run an angency in France. In real life they are a couple but this time they are battling to death (if necessary)</p> <p>The winner of the last articles iStockphoto challenge is <a href="http://twitter.com/DidierLahely">@DidierLahely</a>.
