Here’s the latest video from Fath47, Rowan Pybus and Inge Beckmann.

Looks like the world famous writer Revok has been arrested in Australia after he twittered that he was headed to the airport to leave the country. D’oh.

Some Herakut videos
So this first video is from the recent ARTotale event in Leuphana.
… I’m kind of confused.
And this is from Herakut’s recent live painting event at a hospital in Berlin.
Sneaking in to see Burning Candy and others
The latest in my series of videos for Babelgum Metropolis is online. Essentially, I’ve figured out how to best enjoy the latest large mural from Burning Candy as well as new pieces by Blek le Rat and Pure Evil which have popped up in East London.
Also, yesterday I meant to post a video of me at MuTate Britain, but accidentally posted another video of the show. Well here is the video I meant to post:
MuTate: One Foot in the Grove
Here’s my take on this year’s MuTate Britain: Correction: I’ve got a video about MuTate coming up on Babelgum soon, and when I saw this on the Babelgum site, I thought this was it. I only saw the title, because the computer I was blogging from wasn’t working well and wouldn’t show me the video. 20 hours later, I’ve gone back to check out the video, and turns out this isn’t the one I made. Still a very cool video though.
Know Hope and Aakash Nihalani at the Blk River Festival
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.
No Longer Empty
No Longer Empty (NLE) is comprised of arts advocates, curators and artists who orchestrate public art exhibitions in vacated storefronts and properties in New York City. The non-profit organization was conceived as an artistic response to our present economic condition and to revitalize empty spaces and areas around the venues by bringing thoughtful, high-caliber art installations with accompanying programs to the public
Video from The Brick Lane Zoo
The first (along with the time lapse video of Roa painting) in a series of videos I’ve started to make for Babelgum.com is this tour of The Brick Lane Zoo, a show that just closed at The Brick Lane Gallery. Every week there will be two new videos going online: one will be a sort of different video like a time lapse or an extended interview, and the other will be me checking out the latest street art gallery openings.
In this video, make sure to listen to what Pure Evil says toward the end about street art and graffiti. And hey, there’s an interview with Roa so that’s awesome.
Roa and Mundano time lapses
Two timelapse videos to share today.
The first is this one by the Brazilian street artist Mundano:
And the second video is kind of special. This video of Roa painting outside of Urban Angel in London is the first in a series of videos that I’m making for Babelgum.com’s Metropolis channel. Let me know what you think.
This is the finished piece in daylight:
M-City Goes 3-D
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!
