UPDATE: The Uroboros Project
Gaia‘s just sent me some new info and photos for his previously mentioned Uroboros Project.
Uroboros Project is a collaborative effort between artists Rachel
Lowing and Gaia. Spawned from a mutual interest in articulating the
inexorably intertwined relationship between people and nature, we
examine the act of consumption and its implications on contemporary
life.The urban environment is an organism whose growth is dictated by the
symbiotic relationship between the city and it’s inhabitants. It is
the ideology and laws of society manifest, yet simultaneously it obeys
basic, natural properties of formation and development that is shared
by all sentient creatures.By considering our connection and correspondence with the city, we
come closer to understanding the purgatory between nature and culture
that defines our internal struggle as human beings.Collaborate
Late Latin collaboratus, past participle of collaborare to labor
together, from Latin com- + laborare to labor — more at labor
1 : to work jointly with others or together especially in an
intellectual endeavor: to cooperate with an agency or instrumentality
with which one is not immediately connectedUROBOROS
Uroboros is a circular symbold depicting a snake, or less commonly a dragon, swallowing its tail, as an emblem of wholeness, totality or infinity.
Here are some more photos from the recent installation in Baltimore. The project is all leading up to an installation at thinkspace gallery this January. See more of Gaia’s work on his flickr, and more photos of the installation at the Uroboros Project Blog here.

Moss Graffiti
This is a pretty cool form of “alternative graffiti.” It’s not quite reverse graffiti (unless you want to take down cities completely), it’s not quite something that GRL will do, it’s natural graffiti. Moss graffiti is something that it apparently very easy to make with little more than some moss and a can of beer, and it looks awesome. Becki Fuller has a photo of the stuff in New York, and Stories from Space has instructions on making your own.
Maclaim Crew in Juxtapoz
Vandalog favorite, the Maclaim crew, has a short feature on the Juxtapoz website. Lots of great photos though. I’m extremely jealous of whoever bought “Porky Bible” by Case (photo below) just 10 minutes after it went on sale. A really spectacular piece. So far as I know, the two pieces that Case has at the Carmichael Gallery right now are still for sale, so have a look. The entire Maclaim crew is fantastic, but I’m particularly confident that Case is destined for great things in the future, so now’s the time to get his work if you can.
David Shrigley’s Photos
Found this on Digg today. David Shrigley’s photos are pretty cool. I wonder if he leaves these things outside after he is done photographing them. More photos after the jump.

Saints and Sinners
I don’t have time to go into details tonight, but hopefully I will tomorrow. In short, Saints and Sinners is artrepublic’s exhibition at the St. Martin Lane Hotel. They have over 50 pieces there by a huge range of artists. Some of the work is good, some is great, and some isn’t, but if you have a chance to stop by, you’re sure to find something you will like.
There is work by Mau Mau, Mr. Brainwash, Pure Evil, Eine, Peter Kennard, Dolk, Logan Hicks, Asbestos, AME 72, Blek le Rat, Nick Walker, and many others.
I’ve got photos on my flickr if you want to have a look at some of the work.
Also, while I was there, I spoke to two of the artists in the show, and I’ll be posting those interviews later in the week.
More Faile Pictures
This is probably my last post on Faile’s Lost in Glimmering Shadows show. I felt I had to do one more post for two reasons. A. WallKandy took some great photos, and B. It is really a top notch show, and everybody in London should go have a look.
So here are a couple of highlights from the show, thanks to WallKandy, who’s entire set of images can be seen on his flickr. Hopefully, they convince anybody who hasn’t seen it yet to go have a look. The show ends on the 16th.
Os Gêmeos, Vitche, and Nina
Luna Park has been taking some great photos in Munich. Here are two that I really like. The first piece is by Vitche, and in the second, he is joined by fellow Brazilian street artists Os Gêmeos and Nina. Both of these are at the Kultfabrik, a former industrial complex that now houses dozens of clubs and bars.
