Entes and Pesimo sent over these latest pieces that they painted together in Buenos Aires. I first came across Entes and Pesimo earlier this year at Living Walls in Atlanta, where their work was one of the hits of the festival.

New Work in France and Norway
Many thanks to C215 for all the walls in Vitry and John Cunningham at the Sunnhordland Folkehogskule for the hospitality in Norway
The golden geese of StatOil. Petroleum has completely changed Norway since its discovery and development in the North Sea since the early 1970’s. Now the country has the second highest GDP per capita in the world.
In 1918, painter Amédée Ozenfant and Le Corbusier established the journal L’Esprit Nouveau, a publication advocating pure, geometric form in art and architecture. Their conceptual legacy has been felt tremendously in our approach to pre-fabricated housing throughout the world and was a small seed for defining the modern aesthetic. The material for the image is derived from a pamphlet for Corbusier’s lecture series in 1920.
Montry is a small town outside of Paris. Their refusal to sell land to Disneyland Paris set Montry apart from its neighbors who ceded public land to new development. Many thanks to Galerie Itinerrance.

Check it! Swing in Paris
Swing brings this uncanny cartoon style to Paris’ graffiti scene. Swing also has a couple cool wheatpastes that seem worth mentioning.

Two murals in the Canadian Arctic
Thanks to a reader who sent in these photos, we’ve found out about two murals Iqaluit, the capital city of the territory of Nunavut in Canada. They were painted by Jonathan Cruz at the NuSchool Design Agency, Alexa Hatanaka and Patrick Thompson. It’s a pleasure to see that these artists are painting such great murals in such an unexpected location.

Weekend link-o-rama
This week the Occupy Wall Street live streams have been very effective at distracting me from Vandalog, which I’m not too upset about. The violent and suppressive eviction of Occupy Wall Street is certainly more important that the latest swindle that some art gallery is trying to pull. Nonetheless, I have been paying attention even if I haven’t been writing, so here’s what’s been going on in the street art world this week:
- AEC and WAONE aka Interesni Kazki have their first US solo show opening this weekend at Mid-City Arts in LA. Arrested Motion have a preview.
- This Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn, Todd James and Steve Powers are showing their work from their installation Street from the Art in the Streets show at MOCA in LA earlier this year. Other members of Powers’ ICY Signs studio will also be showing their work.
- Graffiti writer and notorious sticker-er BNE started a foundation for clean water projects earlier this year, and 12oz. Prophet has interviewed him about it. Great to see writers doing such admirable work.
- Hope has a flickr stream with photos that graffiti geeks (and I say that in the best possible way) absolutely have to check out.
- This show at MK2 Projects includes Shepard Fairey, Matt Small, Aiko and more.
- Here’s a new painting by Judith Supine.
- C-Monster has photos of two stencils in Tahrir Square.
- EVOL is to be the star of this year’s Pictures on Walls holiday extravaganza, and he is already in London putting up some of his signature stencil work.
- Swoon musical project in New Orleans, Dithyrambalina, is coming along. Artists involved in the collaborative installation are performing a show called The Music Box on November 19th and December 10th. Here’s a trailer, which includes some of their October 22nd performance. Beautiful work, but I’m sure it’s something that really needs to be seen in person.
- Complex has their list of the top 25 Parisian graffiti writers.

Jon Burgerman Readies for “Groundbreak”
When he wasn’t dodging the rain this morning, the multi-talented Jon Burgerman was outside Extra Place, an alley off Manhattan’s East 1st Street between the Bowery and 2nd Avenue, gracing the sidewalk with his intriguing mix of overlapping comical characters. He was getting ready for the opening of “Groundbreak,” an outdoor exhibit, also featuring the artwork of Abe Lincoln, Jr. and Ellis Gallagher aka Ellis G. Curated by Joyce Manalo and Keith Schweitzer and presented by FABnyc’s ArtUp Program, “Groundbreak” opens with a reception, hosted by Oaxaca Taqueria at 16 Extra Place, this Saturday afternoon at 2pm.

Cassette Lord
These are from a series of Cassette Lord‘s stencils around England. Alright, ready for puns? Cassette lord is ghetto-blasting straight from Brighton. Mixing it up with these fresh tape stencils, he produces bold colored cassettes that boom off the box. Now that you all hate me, I challenge you to top that.
