Mike Pearce was in Miami last week taking photos of the murals getting painted. As it has been over the past few years, Wynwood was overrun (in, I think, a good way) for about a week with artists working outdoors on any wall they could get permission to paint or get away with painting. Here are a few of Mike’s pictures of the artists at work…

This crazy wall at Moda Hotel in Vancouver is a collaboration between Scott Sueme, Joker, Remi/Rough and Augustine Kofie for the Unintended Calculation show, which opened last week.

Vancouver artist Indigo has put together a show, Unintended Calculations, of artists who started in traditional graffiti and have moved towards abstract paintings. The show takes place next month in Vancouver with a gallery show as well as some murals at the Moda Hotel. While the show includes well-known artists Remi/Rough and Kofie, I’m most interested to see what Scott Sueme does. I don’t know much about Sueme, but I’ve heard that he is really pushing things forward in Vancouver with his graffiti, and I liked his recent wall at Primary Flight.

Unintended Calculations opens the first week of March. Check the show’s website for more info.

Here’s one of Remi’s paintings for the show:

Well it was the first week of midterms for me, so lots of time was spent locking myself in my room, turning off the wifi and just studying. On the plus side, had a great meeting today trying to get some grant money from my college to bring street artists to campus and I took a nap on what might just be the world’s comfiest couch. So here’s what I haven’t had the chance to blog with all that school stuff going on:

• I’ll be running a modified version of my street art tours next Friday at the Moniker Art Fair. The tour will be free and we’ll being checking out the fair as well as some of the street art in Shoreditch nearby. That will be from 1-2:30 11:30-1pm and 1:30-3:00pm next Friday afternoon at Moniker.
• Unurth has photos of Escif’s latest murals.
• Kaws blogged some teaser shots of his upcoming book.
• Feral has been posting a lot of photos on his flickr over the past month of the interesting work he’s been making.
• Mike put together a nice overview of FAME Festival for Arrested Motion
• The latest in the line of shows Yosi Sergant (previously involved with Manifest Hope and Manifest Equality) has worked on, Re:Form School looks to be another massive group show advocating a good cause. It is open in New York this weekend only.
• Kofie has a solo show opening this weekend at White Walls in San Fransisco. The opening reception is on Saturday evening. Check out The Citrus Report for more info.
• LAB (Little Art Book) has a pop-up shop in London starting today through October 23rd. There will be prints for sale priced as low as £30. Their blog has more info.

Kofie‘s new print, Zirkulation eines Anti-Horizontes, looks beautiful and it’s available online at Rivera and Rivera. It’s a giclée though, and personally I wouldn’t buy a giclée by what you see online.

Zirkulation eines Anti-Horizontes is an edition of 100, sized 22 x 22 inches and is being sold for $275. The print technically isn’t being released until the 4th of July, but you can pre-order it now.

Mac, Retna and Kofie painted this huge mural for Manifest Equality:

Remi/Rough sent me some pics today from his time in San Fransisco for the Never A Dull Moment show at White Walls SF. For me, the highlight is definitely this wall he painted with Joker, Poesia, Kofie, Codak, Kema and Diel. Here are some slightly more detailed shots:

Here’s Remi’s wall in the White Walls show:

And of course, I can’t mention this group show with mentioning Anthony Lister. Great piece. Glad to see he can paint interesting pictures without using superheroes:
