The Deluxx Fluxx Arcade pics and giveaway
On Thursday night, Lazarides‘ Greek Street and Rathbone Place galleries were both packed for the private view of The Faile/Bast Deluxx Fluxx Arcade at Greek Street and a Faile retrospective at Rathbone Place.

The Thousands summary
Last Wednesday was the opening of The Thousands, the art exhibition I curated. The photos are on flickr and the blog posts are online, and yet, I haven’t mentioned the show much on Vandalog since the opening. It’s been busy, so now I’m making up for that. The folks at Babelgum have been super-supportive, with …

Green Day and The Art of Rock
Thursday night was the opening of Green Day’s The Art of Rock at StolenSpace Gallery. It would have been easy for Green Day to put together a street art show full of random artists that street art fans would hate but Green Day fans would like because it has the Green Day name on it. …

Dalek and Delta at Elms Lesters
Dalek & Delta is the latest show at Elms Lesters in London, and of course it is a two person show with James Marshall aka Dalek and Boris Tellegen aka Delta. It’s open now and a great show for lovers of geometry. Photos by s.butterfly
Slinkachu @ Andipa
I haven’t been down to see this show in person yet, but it’s definitely on the top of my list. Slinkachu has a solo show at Andipa Modern. Slinkachu does interesting installations of tiny little people on the street and then photographs them. These could easily turn into really tacky and watered down street art, …

Ron English at Elms Lesters
Went to Elms Lesters on Thursday for the opening of Ron English’s first UK solo show, and I was pretty impressed. Although I’m not as big of a Ron English fan as some people, there were definitely a few pieces that stood out for me. And if you like that image, check out the almost …
