Weekend link-o-rama

-1 2 — Awer in Berlin. Click to view large.

It’s a mega link-o-rama this week because I’ve been traveling from last Saturday until Thursday morning.

Here’s a video of Morley’s show at Lazarides Newcastle. When I first saw Morley’s work about a year and a half ago, I thought it was hilarious and touching. Now though, while I appreciate that he has tried to literally make his gallery work 3D and therefore a bit different from what he does on the street, I’m kinda bored of it. Anybody else feeling this way?
Zeus (the British one) has a pop-up show in London next month.
Pez has some great commentary on the transition from the street to the gallery.
Emol, Stinkfish, Zio Ziegler will be showing together at Carmichael Gallery starting August 11th.
Okay, here’s one of the very occasional Olek pieces that I really like, but she got to start with a great shape so I’m not sure how much the yarn helped.
Evol hit up some electrical boxes in Warsaw.
A unicorn expelling rainbows from its mouth and ass.
Some very odd but also oddly beautiful graffiti from Homer.
Even Russia has a mural festival. Of course, the work is pretty tame. Nothing like this piece of Russian street art.
There’s some great work to be spotted along the High Line.
Pixote recently had a show in NYC. Nothing amazing, but it’s interesting to see what Pixote does besides rollers.
This mural in Denver by Shepard Fairey is pretty nice. He’s in town for his part in a show at The Black Book Gallery.
Reka’s in London.
Ripo has a solo show opening next Thursday at White Walls Gallery in San Fransisco.

Philadelphia is known, perhaps too well, for character-based sticker art. Even some of this city’s best street artists, like NoseGo, have roots in characters on stickers. But Joe Boruchow is one artist who is onto something completely different. I’ve seen a few of Joe’s pieces in person and they always make me stop to have a closer look. His placement is so spot-on that the work looks legal even when it is not, although his fine-art vibe probably helps a bit too.

Jetsonorama in Durango, CO

Jetsonorama was recently invited to Durango, Colorado to put up a mural, but the story of how the wall came to be is as interesting as the finished product. The mural, headless heroes of the apocalypse, is from a photo that Jetsonorama took while he was in Baltimore earlier this year for Open Walls Baltimore, and now it seems that Durango’s city council is warming up to public art a bit like Baltimore, with special thanks to an 11-year-old boy. Here’s what Jetsonorama wrote about the situation:

in durango my crew there (nick jones, aaron schmitt and brian raymond simmonds) told me about what they went through to get the wall i was going to work on. this past spring they had a graff show called open art surgery: an exploration of public art where a small group of artists from all over the country came for a gallery show. several people collaborated for a kick ass mural loved by the community on the side of a gas station with the owner’s approval. however, the mural violated the city’s sign code. so rather than let the wall go since the mural had so much community support, aaron and his friends met with the city council (i think it was) and presented information at a public forum on the issue as to why the mural should keep running. one of the objections the city had was that the artists hadn’t prepped the wall and the mural was already starting to peel.

dig that. that was one of the city’s concerns as opposed to being totally closed to the possibility of starting a mural program. one of the people who stood before an audience of his community members was 11 year old nick brieger, a big time fan of street art. he was devastated at the thought of the mural leaving. he and his dad know where the spots are around town and will go watch writers paint asking them questions about the process. brian totally digs the art form.

yeah, so anyway – nick was happier than a pig in stink to be working with us yesterday and we were happy to have him there. it’s his wall. he stood before city council and fought for it.

The work of Baltimore-based artist Nanook has been appearing around the world a bit lately. Here’s work of his in Italy, Germany and Canada. His mural in Foligno, Italy with Ever is part of Attack Festival, which looks like they will have more artists coming to Foligno through September including Ericailcane, Sten&Lex and Moneyless.

Weekend link-o-rama

I’m off for a few days of traveling. Expect lots of pictures. Here’s what we missed on Vandalog this week:

Endless Canvas has organized a show of murals in an old factory in the Bay Area. They are using Kickstarter to get the show off the ground, and could use some help.
These abstract pieces by 1010 and Bemie are pretty great.
And more abstract work by Cron.
The zine and print from Lush’s London show are now available online.
Saber and Revok have shows opening Saturday evening at Known Gallery.
A stellar new print from WK Interact is available at Jonathan Levine Gallery.
The ATG crew will be showing at Stolenspace Gallery in August.
Arrested Motion has a preview of the upcoming Barry McGee retrospective.
Keep an eye on 12ozProphet’s Instagram for behind-the-scenes photos of the upcoming Os Gemeos show at the ICA Boston, opening next week.
Some beautiful new work from MOMO in Spain and Rome.
Something a bit different from Pixelpancho in Russia.

I must have subconsciously went for cool colors. It’s a paint-under-a-bridge kind of day.
