AI WEIWEI DOCUMENTARY TRAILER

Ok, not street art and not about to right a dissertation on why they're related, but important film nonetheless.

PORCELAIN CANS FROM SAO PAULO'S "FAMIGLIA"
Beautiful Objects of desire from Herbert Baglione, Acruz Sesper, Felipe Young & Thais Beltrame
BOMBE : cult object: Modernity and Tradition
The remarkable encounter of the finesse of 300 years of craftsmanship and one of the most controversial creative tools of the end of the 20th century…
Born from the fusion of the preferred tool of writers since the birth of graffiti and kaolin, the raw material of porcelain from Limoges whose manufacturers are reputed for the quality of their know-how and productions…
This creation is the result of the collaboration with the Brazilian collective from Sao Paulo known as « Famiglia » and the reinvented replication of an aerosol.
BOMBE is an object fashioned in porcelain from Limoges, an original collection piece, unique and finely finished with platinum plated artworks.
Each piece is numbered and limited to 60 editions. Each is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
And all for €190.

HERE COME THE NEIGHBORHOOD EPISODES 6 & 7
In this episode of Here Comes the Neighborhood, Kunle Martins aka EARSNOT, founder of the IRAK CREW, along with Jesse Geller aka NEMEL break down the importance of good penmanship, the difference between murals and graffiti, and the concept behind their "tagging mosaic" in Wynwood. Stealing, masturbation and other compulsive behaviors are also addressed.
Legendary photographer Martha Cooper has been documenting graffiti and graffiti writers since the late 1970s. Her and Henry Chalfant’s book “Subway Art”, originally published in 1984, was largely responsible for the globalization of graffiti. She has remained a fixture in the community and culture, and has been documenting the Wynwood Walls since the project began in 2009. Her photos tell the story of the Wynwood Walls from its inception to expansion, and all of the artists and their respective works. In graffiti and street art, nothing is permanent, even commissioned walls. Because of the temporary nature of the medium, Martha’s photos outlast almost every piece of graffiti or street art itself.

HERBERT BAGLIONE FOR NUART 2011
Second film in our series from this years Nuart, this time featuring our Brazilian friend Herbert Baglione. Earlier in the year Norway was the focus of the international media's attention due to the Utøya massacre where 69 young people were gunned down in an act of far-right inspired madness. The media focus on the perpetrator of the killings has and continues to be contentious. Herbert Baglione rightly focussed our attentions back where it should be and remain, on the victims of not only this tragedy, but also those victims of acts of violence committed against the innocent the world over on a daily basis.
The work lists the names of all those killed at Utøya.
See more of Herbert's work for Nuart here.
Baglione, we salute you !

FINTAN SWITZER, "SILVER INHERITANCE"
FINTAN SWITZER "SILVER INHERITANCE"
There are no doubt many reasons for Street Art's rise in popularity, its humour, its play on advertising, the taking back of public space, the pop art and the politics, the community spirit and the perceived breaking of the Museum/Gallery/Dealer combine etc etc. All of this and much more. But really, in reality, it's just that there are some pretty incredible artists out there putting work on the street. One strand of Street Art is forging a new figurative art, breathing life into the old dog once again. And Fintan Switzer, who some of may remember from his "Adam" piece, seems determined to be up there amongst the best.

DAVID ELLIS AT JOSHUA LINER
Sounds great, highly recommended, great space, great artist.
For True Value, Ellis will present several of his signature “Motion Paintings,” including Animal (2011), which chronicle the creation of large mural works in time-lapse digital video. Documenting the accrual of marks and strokes of pigment on walls, floors, and other surfaces, these closely edited videos are choreographed to lively soundtracks and are works of art in their own right. Many display Ellis’s distinctive waveform graphics, or “flow,” that course over and around images of urban life and abstract cityscapes, a vestige of the artist’s early days as a graffiti writer.
See press release and details here
DAVID CHOE & DVS1 FOR NUART 11
We have a whole host of terrific shorts from this years Nuart, shot and edited by Martin Hawkes at Saft Film, first out is the wild expression of David Choe and DVS1. Always a pleasure to watch these guys work, the added UV and dry ice at the opening was a proper mushroom trip. More of which later, Leon ?
Anyway, hoping to find the time and energy, not to mention finance, to be able to stitch these together at some point. For now, we'll be posting up as and when finished, hopefully one a week over the holiday period so check back soon for more films featuring Herakut, Vhils, Phlegm, Tellas, Escif & Hyuro.
Also, keep an eye on Nuartfestival for news on next years events.
Stills from the show can be seen here
BANKSY SCULPTURE TO LIVERPOOL
Banksy unveils church abuse work
CARDINAL SIN
Street artist Banksy has installed a vandalised sculpture of a priest in a gallery in Liverpool.
Cardinal Sin is a bust with its face sawn off and replaced by blank tiles, designed as a response to the child abuse scandal in the Catholic church.
In a statement, Banksy said: "I'm never sure who deserves to be put on a pedestal or crushed under one."
The sculpture was unveiled at the Walker Art Gallery, where it will sit alongside 17th Century religious art. The bathroom tiles have been put in place of the priest's face to create a pixelated effect. The gallery said the work "is believed to be a comment on the abuse scandal in the church and its subsequent cover-up".
Cardinal Sin is now in a room with an altarpiece painted for the Archbishop of Seville by the Spanish artist Murillo in 1673 and Rubens' painting The Virgin and Child with St Elizabeth and the Child Baptist.
"I love everything about the Walker Gallery - the Old Masters, the contemporary art, the rude girl in the cafe and when I found out Mr Walker built it with beer money it became my favourite gallery," said Banksy.
"The statue? I guess you could call it a Christmas present. At this time of year it's easy to forget the true meaning of Christianity - the lies, the corruption, the abuse.

SHEPARD FAIREY'S THE PROTESTOR
Time magazines "Person of the Year" ?. The Protestor. Doesn't seem a minute ago since Shepard Fairey designed the Obama cover for person of the year 2008. Let's hope The Protestor does a better job of it. As much as I love the Obama brand, I think he's proven Politicians are too tied to the money to have any real impact on how people are goverened. Let's hope person of the year 2013 isn't a suicide bomber hey.

BLU IN BUENOS AIRES
Blu is in Buenos Aires and has just finished painting another politically charged mural. It features six figures being roasted on a grill by the flames from a huge pile of burning bank notes. Argentines love to have barbecues (asados) and it looks like Blu has chosen a similar theme for his latest critique.
