Blu has been busy in the Colombian capital lately for Memoria Canalla, a project organized by Bastardilla and Stinkfish. Martha Cooper and Onesto, who both traveled to the city in September, are amongst others who have participated.

Every year, Dan Witz plays a Halloween street art prank. This year it takes place on Santa Monica Blvd, LA.
I was wondering what they’d get up to for the Clogged Caps Festival – well, here it is! Read more about the event here.
Aakash Nihalani and Know Hope just got back from the Blk River Festival in Vienna. Here’s a cool time lapse of one of their collabs. More work from Aakash below, including a playful addition to a classic Banksy image (photo by Yvonne Kaufman), plus a close up of the piece you see in the video.
Been meaning to post this little video for a while. I’ve always wondered what a large scale three-dimensional version of an M-City factory would look like. Well, here it is! You can find out more about the Fabryka project, which opens on October 23rd, here.
Another very cool aspect of Fabryka is that you can literally watch it take shape before your eyes. A web cam has been set up in the Center of Contemporary Art in Torun to document every minute of the construction. Below are a couple progress pics – the first from a couple days ago and the second of how things were looking last time I checked. Now get onto M-City’s site and see what’s happened since!
US west coast fans of WK Interact, get excited: he is coming to LA! How To Blow Yourself Up opens November 7th at Subliminal Projects.
Unlike his solo exhibit in New York at Jonathan Levine earlier in the year, which showcased his fantastic motion portrait series, this show looks like it it’s going to feature a range of smaller, mixed media works. Here are a couple sneak peeks.
Graffiti and street artists would not have the same global community they are fortunate to have today if it weren’t for all the great photographers out there documenting their every move and sharing what they snap with the rest of the world. I think we sometimes take for granted how important a good photo is in commemorating a great mural, wheat paste or installation.
German photographer Just has given us ten years worth of amazing photos of some of the best in the scene. It’s nice to see his hard work recognized. If you’re in Berlin tonight, make sure to check out the opening of his exhibit of artist portraits and street art photos at ATM Gallery. And take lots of pictures!
Chris Stain sent me over a sneak peek earlier today of the fantastic piece he will be showing in Old Skoolin For The Children, an art show x fundraiser x concert opening November 7th in Washington, DC. Lots of other great artists (plus DMC of Run-DMC!) involved in this event, too – check out the list on the flyer below.
