Looks like a really good concept for a show. Remi/Rough recently did some collaborations with Grafter which turned out really well, so I’m excited to see how his style works with these other artists.

On a related note, Part2ism has done a new piece outside Urban Angel’s Art Lounge:

Boing Boing Interviews Shepard Fairey

This is probably the best interview I’ve seen with Shepard Fairey about his Obama poster. Boing Boing does a great job. Well worth watching because they discuss the concern I originally had with the image, which I think many people shared: THIS IS SHEPARD FAIREY AKA OBEY DOING A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IMAGE!

Posterboy Video Interviews

A few new videos with Posterboy have popped up recently. I’ve featured Posterboy on Vandalog before, but for those who don’t know, Posterboy is a New York artist who goes through the subway system ripping up advertising and creating mashups of the ads to change around the message. Recently, he’s also branched out into just ripping billboards down and collaborations with aakash nihalani.

Know Hope ‘The Insecurities of Time’ at Ad Hoc Art

This is one show that I’m pretty excited about, but won’t be seeing in person. Know Hope is one of my favorite up-and-coming artists, and last week saw the opening of his second ever solo show. Ad Hoc Art in New York has Know Hope in their new Project Room space.

The show, “The Insecurities of Time”, features lots of new work from Know Hope, including and installation and some smaller pieces at pretty low prices.

Street Art in Ghent. Where’s Ghent?

Okay so I’ll be first to admit that I’m not the best with geography or world cities, but have you ever heard of Ghent? Apparently it’s quite a bit city in the Flemish half of Belgium. In Belgium, I’ve only ever been to Brussels and Waterloo.

Well, apparently street art fans should have heard of Ghent due to the large amount of street art to be found there. Extremely dedicated street art photographer _Kriebel_ has just posted pages and pages of work from the city, so here’s a couple of highlights. Do check out the rest of his flickr photostream though. Lots of really talented Belgian street artists who don’t get enough credit.
