The Rumor Mill: Deitch planning street art show at MOCA LA?

This is about a week old now, but I’ve just seen that the NYTimes has done an article on Jeffrey Deitch and his transition from running his Deitch Projects gallery to now being the director of LA’s Museum of Contemporary Art. Of course, the article is mostly about how Deitch is handling that transition and …

The Muse of Street Art

NeSpoon‘s latest project is pretty clever. It’s called The Muse of Street Art and here’s how she describes it: Saski Garden (Ogród Saski) – former king’s garden in the center of Warsaw, since 1727 open for public.

Street art from East Timor

Peace of Wall looks it could be one of those great unappreciated art books, as important for his documentation of art as for its documentation of a critical time in East Timor’s history.

You know that artist or musician whose work you really like, but nobody else has ever heard of them? That name you can use to sound like your knowledge of culture is slightly more cutting-edge and eclectic than the other guy? Vinchen is one of those artists you can mention.

Cash4’s comments on street art and graffiti

Banksy and Shepard Fairey, probably the world’s two best-known active street artists, have been in the news a lot the last few days. Arrested Motion has a nice roundup of all the latest Banksy news, and Culture Monster reports that Shepard Fairey is facing a criminal investigation over his legal case with the AP.
