See you at SCOPE-Miami
It looks like the whole Vandalog team will be together in Miami in a few weeks for the art fairs.
Congratulations to Gaia, a fellow blogger here on Vandalog, for not only being included in SCOPE-Miami with Irvine Contemporary, but also for getting the opportunity to create a 40 foot long mural the the fair’s entrance.
Elisa Carmichael will also be at SCOPE at the Carmichael Gallery‘s stand where they will have artwork from Boxi, Hush, Mark Jenkins, Nunca, Simon Birch and Sixeart.
And I will be in Miami to check out SCOPE, Basel, Primary Flight and all the other events and fairs.
Kelsey Brookes Gets Bigger, Brighter, Bolder
Don’t think Kelsey Brookes‘ new show, Bigger, Brighter, Bolder has been mentioned here yet. It opens Friday, November 20th at Quint Contemporary Art in San Diego. Kelsey’s both a great artist and a lovely human being so I’m really looking forward to spending some time with him and seeing these pieces, which look awesome in these progress pics, in person.
See a few more studio shots over on SlamxHype.

Video of The Thousands
I’ll put up some photos from The Thousands and links to all the (overwhelmingly positive) reviews later today or tomorrow. For now, check out this video that my Babelgum.com editor Joe Cogan put together.
The Thousands opens tonight
The Thousands opens in two hours. I’m super busy, but I will say this: It looks awesome. Arrested Motion has some photos of the set up.
Two New Specter Pieces in New York
Honestly I’m stricken speechless by these pieces. Just considering the incredible amount of time dedicated creating these works and their immensely sensitive application just blows me away. I think I say this every time I write on Specter’s work but I just can’t stress enough as to how incredible these posters are. Whoever says that the New York street art scene is dead needs to walk around the city for a bit. Or you can thank Jake Dobkin for this great documentation and for doing all of the walking for you.
De dentro pra fora / De fora pra dentro
I’ve really been enjoying watching this beautiful installation take shape at Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo (Masp) recently. Curated by Choque Cultural, it features Titi Freak, Zezão, Stephan Doitschinoff, Ramon Martins, Carlos Dias and Daniel Melin, a list that includes some of the Brazilians I’m most excited about these days. Entitled De dentro pra fora / De fora pra dentro, the exhibit opens this Wednesday, October 18th.
These pics are off Facebook so the resolution isn’t great. Best to check out Louise and Ignacio of Lost Art’s gorgeous documentation of the work in progress.
How I feel today
I’ve been working on The Thousands since about 9:15 this morning, and this photo pretty much describes how I feel. But I’ll finish setting up tomorrow and then get some rest before the big opening on Wednesday. Thanks to CampBarbossa and Black Rat Press for coming by today and making sure the show looks awesome.
WK Blows Us All Up
I can’t believe it’s already been a week since WK Interact‘s latest solo exhibit, How To Blow Yourself Up, opened here in LA. For anyone Cali-based who missed the reception, you can still check out the work and installation at Subliminal Projects until December 5th. And for everybody else, here are a few pics from the night! It was definitely one of the most fun events over this way in a while.
Aside from the excited buzz in the air and line out the door of people waiting to get photographed and fingerprinted for WK’s awesome mug shot wall, the work itself did not disappoint. The gallery was decked out with a fantastic range of three-dimensional mixed media pieces (from wood panels, skate decks and boxes to a custom-built bike and a series of doors you have to see to believe) and there was even one of his mind-blowing Motion Portraits (my personal favorite).
Hype aside (and he’s underrated, in my opinion), WK is simply one of the most important street artists in the world and those who have the opportunity to see or own his work are just plain lucky.
