The above image by Fauxreel has just been released as a stunning print at Show & Tell Gallery. The 24″ x 16″ edition of 15 is available for $180. There is also a 48″ x 32″ version available which is a edition of just 3. That print is $1200 though, so I suppose that’s for Fauxreel’s super-fans. You can buy the print online at Show & Tell Gallery’s website.
Also, Unurth just posted an interview with Fauxreel.
As usual, Roa’s been busier outside than just about anybody else in the street art world.

If you follow Elisa Carmichael on twitter, you may have noticed that she’s been dropping some hints recently about a big secret show that they’ve been planning. Well here it is: Re-Creation II features artwork from Will Barras, Simon Birch, Boxi, Ethos, Mark Jenkins, Labrona, Aakash Nihalani, Nina Pandolfo and WK Interact. I know Seth and Elisa have been working like crazy to pull this all together, and it sounds like it’s going to be amazing. They’ve flown some of their favorite artists to New York to work on installations in the space, and with the show running for so many months, plenty of people will have a chance to see what’s created.
In collaboration with Carmichael Gallery, Ogilvy & Mather New York will host Re-Creation II, a global exploration of emerging art, from March 5th through July 2010.
The exhibit will be held at the new Ogilvy & Mather headquarters on New York City’s West Side at 636 11th Avenue. Re-Creation II will showcase some of the most important emerging contemporary artists from around the world.
Large-scale murals, installations and original canvas, sculpture and mixed media works will be on display from Will Barras, Simon Birch, Boxi, Ethos, Mark Jenkins, Labrona, Aakash Nihalani, Nina Pandolfo and WK Interact. Many of these artists, who are based in the UK, Hong Kong, Germany, Brazil, the US and Canada, have never shown in New York before, and have never shown together.
Ogilvy & Mather will transform five floors and the lobby space of its new headquarters in The Chocolate Factory into a museum-quality exhibition space. As viewers ascend each floor, they can experience the upward momentum of the artwork. Re-Creation II is the second exhibit to be hosted by Ogilvy & Mather in its new space. It follows the inaugural Re-Creation exhibit, which featured the work of 12 emerging artists who use recycled materials to create unique forms of art. That exhibit will also be viewable through the end of March.
The opening reception of the exhibit will be held on Friday, March 5 with several of the artists in attendance at Ogilvy & Mather. The exhibition will run through July 31, 2010. Opening on March 5th in the middle of the Armory Art Fair week, the exhibition will run through the end of July 2010.
Doors are open to the viewing public, by appointment only, Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pm by contacting Jun Lee at jun.lee@ogilvy.com.
On a side note, this is the 1000th post on Vandalog. Almost a year and a half in, we’ve averaged over 2 posts per day, posting almost every single day.
Logan Hicks is one of those cool guys that I just plain enjoy posting about. He’s one of the nicest, hardest working and technically skilled artists I know. This video was made in conjunction with one of Scion’s art installation tours.

Vhils has really outdone himself with this latest piece in Moscow… I wish I owned a house, if only so he could take a jackhammer to it.

Hahaha, I thought I’d only have to post one thing abut Exit Through The Gift Shop today. Of course, as soon as the journalists who were at the press screening got back to their desks, news about the film and the screenings started popping up all over the web.
Esquire Magazine has the most interesting article so far:
This morning, Esquire was invited to a preview screening of Exit Through The Gift Shop, the new documentary by Banksy. It took place in a temporary cinema the street artist has built in some dank railway arches next to Waterloo train station. As you would expect from him, both the site and the movie were surprising, entertaining and just a little unsettling.
The cinema, nicknamed “The Lambeth Palace” and sold as “London’s darkest and dirtiest new cinema” (with an exception made for “Cineworld Edmonton”), is a 150-seater auditorium at the end of a series of gloomy bare-brick caverns, in which typical Banksy interventions have been placed: a cardboard Queen and Prince Phillip opening ceremonial velvet curtains to reveal a spray-painted Anarchy “A”, a bonfire of Old Master paintings going up in fabric flames, hamster cages of animatronic hot dogs, and a bar in the form of a grungy ice cream van…
Esquire also says that the film will be screening twice daily there until March 1st. I’m seeing the film later this week, so I’ll post a review in a few days.
Rodrico has some photos from the event, where they have painted a red carpet on the road and made a sort of mini-exhibition…

@TimeOutArt has posted some camera-phone snaps from inside of the secret underground location where Banksy is screening Exit Through The Gift Shop. There was a press screening on Monday morning, @Eelus has tweeted that he has been invited to a screening on Wednesday and Pictures on Walls has 300 tickets up for grabs to screenings over the weekend. Time Out also says that next week’s issue of Time Out London will feature a Banksy-designed cover and an exclusive interview with the man himself.
That that’s today’s Banksy film update.
This historic roller by Revs and Cost has finally been buffed. Vanishing New York has the story and pics of what the wall looks like now. And actually, I’ve got to admit that I like the wall’s new look just as much as before it was buffed. The piece has really just been faded to look like the rest of the sign.
