Street artists head to Boston
Fourthwall Project in Boston has put together a show with LNY, Radical!, Tiptoe, Nanook, The Phantom, Geoff Hargadon, Zatara and Blackmath. Each artist in Street Wall will wheatpaste their work onto the gallery walls. Although the artist line up is great, the concept is the sort of thing that could really go either way and it’s impossible to say for certain. Hopefully it works out.

Wild Style Wednesday!
Imminent Disaster in “On the River…” @ SoHo’s KESTING/RAY
We love Imminent Disaster’s beautifully crafted images that have been surfacing on NYC streets for the past few years. Her first NYC solo exhibit presents not only wondrous portraits crafted on an array of surfaces in her signature style, but also a series of wet-plate photographs of people she encountered in her travels through the heartland of the United States in 2011. Here are a few images we captured of Imminent Disaster’s work on exhibit at KESTING/RAY:
The exhibit continues through February 5th at 30 Grand Street in NYC’s SoHo district.

Lazy art for very motivated fans
Laurence Billiet sent over this photo of a piece she spotted in Paris, referencing Damien Hirst’s spot paintings. Hirst’s spot paintings have currently taken over all 11 Gagosian galleries in 8 countries. While some people may think that Hirst may be a lazy artist making art for lazy people, so far three people (including Tanley Wong of Arrested Motion) have completed the “spot challenge” and visited all 11 exhibits, so at least some of Hirst’s fans are pretty driven.
On a similar note, Kaws released a new toy this week.

Win a Stikman calendar
Stikman has sent over some calendars to give away to Vandalog readers. The calendars feature a classic pin-up girl next to a Stikman character. I’ve got one on my wall right now, but Stikman sent 6 more for me to give away. If you’d like a calendar, just leave a comment on this post with the reason you’d like a Stikman calendar (and be sure to leave your email in the box where it asks for that info). I’ll choose the 6 winning responses on Friday, January 27th.

Retna’s alter-ego: Brimstone
I’m told, although it’s certainly not the easiest thing to read, that this Retna mural (organized by Primary Flight) says “Brimstone MSK” and that Brimstone is a sort of alter-ego for Retna. Can you read it? Either way, there’s a great video showing the work in progress…

Adam Void, Curtis Readel, Alice Mizrachi, ELLE and John Breiner in “Lost & Found” @ DUMBO’s Mighty Tanaka
We made it over to Brooklyn’s Mighty Tanaka last week to check out its first exhibit of the new year: Lost & Found. Featuring the artwork of Adam Void, Curtis Readel, Alice Mizrachi, ELLE and John Breiner, the exhibit features an intriguing array of work in diverse media created largely from found objects. Here are a few images:
The exhibit continues through February 5 at Mighty Tanaka’s new space @ 111 Front Street in Brooklyn’s DUMBO district.

Faile explain their Challenger image
In this video with Ride5 Films, Faile explain the use of the space shuttle Challenger in their work. Coincidentally, their explanation sounds a lot like the John Fekner’s random date work from the 1970’s.

Ludo hits Rome
With Ludo’s first solo show in Rome opening today at Wunderkammern, it’s no surprise that he has been getting a bit in Rome while he’s there.
