Here are some videos from my time in Miami. I’m just about to go to Basel (finally), but I thought I’d share some of what I’ve seen so far at The Anonymous Gallery‘s booth at SCOPE.
First, here is a tour of The Anonymous Gallery’s booth:
And here’s a bit more about that sound sculpture by David Ellis:
A mural that I finished for Scope Miami that is 10ft x 40ft. For more photos check out the http://www.flickr.com/photos/gaiastreetart/
This week was the opening of Black Dog Books at Black Rat Projects in London. The book store is in a small room constructed in the middle of the gallery and sells everything from art books to 2nd hand fiction novels.
Looks like a fun project for the holiday season

Some really cool installations here at SCOPE! Here are a few:
Judith Supine. While the 3D effect doesn’t really carry through in this photo, this piece is really eye-catching (as all his work is) in person.
Aakash Nihalani. Aakash isn’t quite finished yet, so I’ll post another photo when he is. It’s so much fun to watch him work!

I really like The Opera Gallery. The put on good shows. They put Ron English and Banksy next to old masters. Great stuff.
Well now they are doing a Mr. Brainwash show at their New York City location. Check out the website, if you dare. Not 100% sure when the show opens, but I hear it’s sometime in December, and the website says he is already in NYC, so it must be soon.
I will probably go see this show in person just to be sure, but I have no faith that it will be any good. Portraits made out of broken records sounds like something you would buy at the Sunday market. But hey, I’m just one guy with an opinion. Does anybody disagree?
As you may have noticed, Seth and I have been spending most of our free time away from SCOPE (not that we’ve had a whole lot so far – see what we (Carmichael) and the other galleries were busy with yesterday) down the street at Deitch’s Wynwood Walls, where many of our friends are hard at work on their murals for Thursday’s opening (Nina, osgemeos and Finok haven’t stopped since they arrived). Here are some pictures of what Nunca, Aiko and Clare Rojas’ walls were looking like last time we checked.
We also paid a quick visit to Al from O.H.W.O.W. the other night. This is a cool space. Here are some set up shots.
First, a peek at It Ain’t Fair, large group show. The Parla is beautiful.
This girl gave me one of her lollypop rings.
Here are a few of the pieces in Dark Night of The Soul.
And here’s where I wrote this post from, in case you were wondering. It’s super busy in here (it’s the SCOPE preview day) so I better get back to work!
Logan Hicks sent out this email last night:
Primary Flight begins!
It’s the eve of the official Primary Flight event and two seasoned veterans of street art took to the streets early. Around midnight Shepard Fairey and Ron English started making their mark on the neighborhood of Wynwood for the Primary Flight event.
Shepard Fairey will be doing his largest mural to date this year for Primary Flight. With a wall that is nearly 20 ft tall, and 200 ft wide, this monster wall will be finished over the next few days. During this night session he was visited by KAWS and Jose Parla who got a sneak peek of what was to come over the next few nights.
Ron English worked into the morning hours doing the prep work on his mural which will be approximately 30ft wide by 15ft tall.
These are only 2 of the nearly 80 artists that will be participating in Primary Flight.

I did not realize that the flight from London to Miami is over 9 hours long. And today was one of those days with lots of cool stuff happening in the street art blogosphere. Here are all the things I would blog about if I wasn’t about to fall asleep:
Things are really taking shape at the osgemeos/Nina/Finok wall on NW 2nd Ave here in Miami. If you liked the twins’ work in NYC back in the summer (also made possible by Deitch Projects and Goldman Properties), you are going to love this. Check out more progress shots of the foursome in action below!
We gallerists have all been extremely busy here at SCOPE today. Take a look below at some of the work we’ll be showing at the preview tomorrow! I’ve tried to stick to mainly images of urban-related art (and there’s a lot to be found here!) Allow my buddy Ellis G (below), one of the fair’s featured artists, to guide you.
Maya Hayuk at Anonymous Gallery.
Judith Supine at New Image Art.
Evol at Wilde Gallery
AJ Fosik at Jonathan Levine Gallery (not street but a very cool piece). That’s a chunk of a very long James Jean in the background.
Calma at Jonathan Levine Gallery.
Sixeart, Nunca, Mark Jenkins at our booth (Carmichael Gallery)
Hush (also at our booth)
Dave Kinsey, Tomokatsu Matsuyama, Cleon Peterson at Joshua Liner Gallery
Another piece by Tomokatsu Matsuyama at Joshua Liner (not a very nice photo, but this piece is beautiful in person)
Ok, that’s it for now!
