Wynwood Walls is a noteworthy mural program in the Wynwood District of Miami. It has brought a number talented of artists to Miami to paint walls, and I’m under the impression that these artists are rewarded handsomely for their work. So far, so good. The project was started by Tony Goldman, a real estate developer. …

Last month, I saw an installation by MOMO here in Philadelphia at Space 1026. Seeing the installation made me fall in love with MOMO all over again. Some of the first pieces of street art I ever noticed around London were his abstract wheatpastes, which stood out among a sea of logos and figures as …

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 …

It’s 11/11/11, so I guess that’s a big deal to some people. That seems so arbitrary to me, since our calendar is pretty arbitrary to begin with. Besides, it’s really 11/11/2011. A few years ago, 11/02/2011 was much cooler. In my social sphere though, 11/11/11 seems like an excuse to throw parties, so maybe I …

The Wende Museum has been doing some very interesting things lately, including the creation of an outdoor gallery wall (complete with framed work) on Main Street in Downtown Los Angeles, but its current project on Wilshire looks to be the most intriguing yet. Now standing directly across the street from LACMA are several weathered sections …

I’ve got to give a big thanks to Unurth for once again finding a talented artist whose work I would have probably never otherwise seen. Evgeniy Dikson is an artist based in Russia who paints street art and post-graffiti. Here are a few of my favorite pieces by him: Photos by Evgeniy Dikson
JB Rock is an artist working in Rome. Some really great work. It’s graphic and the impact is immediate, but JB Rock also has his own styles and doesn’t look like he’s just recycling stereotypical street art styles. He does go over graffiti though…
This week just keeps getting better. Looks like we’ve got a bit of NYC coming to Philadelphia with a show curated by Matt Siren. Here’s what I meant to blog about this week: Faith47 and DAL collaborated on this wall. If you’re a big fan of ABOVE, you need to see the special edition of …
