There are two things that I really like about this: one being the use of the wall it was painted on, and two being that the detail is concentrated behind Mime’s name, instead of the name itself.

Swoon in London, indoors and outdoors
Right now, Londoners are fortunate enough to have both new work on the street by Swoon and her first London solo show, which is open at Black Rat Projects. Hooked have photos of most of her street work. Here are a few photos of her show, Murmuration. Hooked has plenty more photos of the show on flickr that are well worth checking out, as this post only provides a taste of what Swoon has done. While Murmuration is in a much smaller space than Swoon’s historic solo shows at Deitch Projects, it’s still installation-based and looks like a hit.
More after the jump… Continue reading “Swoon in London, indoors and outdoors”
Mad-talented ink, brush and pen artists tonight at Pandemic Gallery
If you can make it on such short notice (sorry, my bad), Pandemic Gallery in Williamsburg has what promises to be an impressive group show opening tonight, Saturday the 17th. Paranormal Hallucinations features a group of very talented artists known for their work with ink, pen and bush and is curated by Safwat Riad. Highlights should include the late Charlie Marks, Llewellyn Mejia (aka Peyote Party), Deuce 7 and Swampy. Since tonight is probably too much short notice, keep in mind that Paranormal Hallucinations will be open through January 7th.

Monsieur A pimped some ride
André aka Monsieur A covered some old car in his tag. The headline is basically all that needs to be said.

Temporary walls at Fountain Miami
We’ve got more photos today from Mike Pearce‘s time in Miami. Today we’re focusing on the art installation at the Fountain Art Fair. As they have done in past years, the fair got some street artists to paint on temporary walls in an outdoor section of the fair. This year, the installation was curated by Samson Contompasis of The Marketplace Gallery and included Hugh Leeman, Sharktoof, Gilf!, Elle, Know Hope, Chris Stain, Joe Iurato, Overunder and White Cocoa. Mike has more from Fountain in this flickr set.

Wild Style Wednesday
Christmas group shows that aren’t at POW
This week seems to be the week of pre-Christmas art sales in the UK, or at least attempts at pre-Christmas art sales. In London, there’s the Taking Liberty’s pop-up shop open now through the 21st with a great group of political charged artists and 10% of sales going to Reel News as well as Season Ticket an “underground art fair” in Shoreditch from High Roller Society and Alex Daw opening on Thursday. Over in Newcastle, Unit 44 have a big party planned to celebrate their 1-year anniversary, also on Thursday, with new work from artists including SheOne, Hush and Stormie Mills. With Pictures On Walls‘ annual Christmas show being cool (keep an eye on their homepage for print releases this week) but allegedly nothing like the “good old days” of their Santa’s Ghetto events (not that I would know, as I wasn’t there then and I’m not in London now), it seems that a few groups may be trying to rekindle those once warm and fuzzy feelings of Christmas cheer around street art, or they know that people like getting art for Christmas.
Here are fliers for all these show… Personally, I’m most excited about Season Ticket…

Living Walls hits Miami
Even the Atlanta-based mural conference Living Walls managed to make it to Miami this year for Art Basel Miami. Partnering with Primary Flight, Living Walls organized spots for Jaz, Know Hope and Ever. Mike Pearce caught photos of the walls in progress and after they were finished, and here are some of his pictures:
