Luna Park has been taking some great photos in Munich. Here are two that I really like. The first piece is by Vitche, and in the second, he is joined by fellow Brazilian street artists Os Gêmeos and Nina. Both of these are at the Kultfabrik, a former industrial complex that now houses dozens of clubs and bars.
Not sure exactly sure about the details of this, but it looks to be a real quality group show with a wide range of artists. Eelus, Eine, Part2ism, Paul Insect, Pure Evil, Shepard Fairey, and many more. Mutate Britain is the first show at the brand new Behind The Shutters Gallery. Behind The Shutters says it “will demystify the gallery experience whilst keeping the ‘art’ on show exciting and inclusive and above all accessible to everyone. Whether you can afford a £10 poster or a £25,000 original piece of work”
See you at the opening.
SAM3 has a been spending some time in Shoreditch. He’s put two great pieces at the entrance to Cargo, across from Eine’s “SCARY” wall. Unusualimage has the photos.

Faile’s show Lost In Glimmering Shadows opened this week to much publicity and fanfare, and if you haven’t seen it yet, trust me, if have the opportunity, you have to go. It completely makes up for the fact that Swoon’s Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea was in New York. I was going to write a full review, but Graffoto has done a great job with this one, so check out their’s.
Also, I twittered the show live, which is something I think I’m going to do again in the future as well. With twitter, I can post photos instantly from my phone. It worked out really well, and the images came out much better than I originally expected. To make sure you get all my twitter updates from future shows, you can “follow” my feed on twitter, but I’ll also make sure to let you know here on the blog when I plan on twittering an event.
I’ve been looking forward to the “Pour Me Some Smoke” show at the Carmichael Gallery for while now, and I won’t even get a chance to see it in person. PMSS has work from Charming Baker and Case, two of my favorite artists, as well as Guy Denning, Ian Strawn, and TRXTR, and it opened last night.
Here’s a bit on my Case and Charming Baker:
Artasty recently posted an interview with Charming Baker, so instead of trying to explain his work, I’ll let the artist himself give it a shot:
Describe your work to a blind person
I like it when something’s not quite right. I like to take people along a path which leads to a place they don’t expect to be. They might discover a personal or political subtext, they might simply enjoy the view. The effect I’m aiming for in my work is that slightly unnerving feeling you get when you have your arse patted in public, but you’re not exactly sure who’s patting it.
I’ve mentioned Case before, because he just had two pieces at Outside In, so some readers may remember how much I love his work. He’s part of the Ma’Claim crew with Akut (of Herakut), and just beginning to get exhibited in galleries around the world. He’s got another two pieces at PMSS, and I think they’re a bit more typical of his work than what he had at Outside In. No doubt fantastic stuff, but I do worry that “Rosemary’s Step Sister” is just a tiny bit too creepy to want on your wall.
Camp Barbossa has announced a new show which starts November 28th. “Dirty Laundry” is a solo show for the Germany street art duo Herakut.
From campbarbossa.com:
New Works by Herakut
28th Nov through to 7th Dec 2008
Preview 27th Nov 6.30pm – 9.30pm (RSVP info@campbarbossa.com)
22 Wellington Street
Opera Quarter
Covent Garden
WC2E 7DDCampbarbossa are pleased to present a very special commission-only Herakut show.
For the uninitiated, Herakut are unlikely collaborative German artists extraordinaire, the cunning confluence of aliases Hera and Akut and the finest artistic alliance of Frankfurt and Efurt the modern art world has to offer. It’s not like we’ve actually researched this part but if there’s a finer alliance we’d like to know.
All the works on display are new, pre-commissioned pieces. So this is simply an opportunity to come along, hang out, have a fine time, admire Herakut’s increasingly bold, unique body of work – the strangely beautiful union of Akut’s photorealist spray paint and Hera’s distinctively scratchy, sexualised, everyday world.
And if that hasn’t whet your appetite come down and tell us why.
Okay, so Shepard Fairey has been pretty much everywhere lately thanks to his Obama images, but I think this is pretty cool. He was on CBS evening news two days ago. Check out the video below:

Wow. Just got back from Lost In Glimmering Shadows, Faile’s show which opened tonight in London. Looks like a few people were watching my twitter feed, which had instant photo updates as the night went on. Tomorrow I’ll post a more detailed review, but for now, check out a few of the photos I took (on my cameraphone, so not great quality) below, and check out this set of great photos from Edwin Bartlett on flickr for quality shots of all the work.
If you have a chance, go see this show!

A great new piece on Leake Street by *best ever*. Clearly some very skilled artists behind this one. Can’t wait to see more.
Last night, Black Rat Press has put two Faile prints on their website. artbleat seems to thing that the prints are new, but I’m not sure. Earlier in the week they sold some Faile prints secondary market. Either way, at >£3000 the prices on these are crazy, but you know somebody will pay it because they are both great prints.
Remember, I’ll be twittering the preview of Faile’s new show “Lost In Glimmering Shadows” tonight here on Vandalog’s twitter.
