Weekend link-o-rama

I’m in London this week, and next, so come and find me wandering around Shoreditch. Just a few links today.

This new mural in London by Roa has to be one of his more intense (but still not bloody) murals yet.
I came across this piece by Sokar Uno the other day just off of Brick Lane. Looks even better in person.
Jaz just painted a really nice wall in Vienna, and he has a show at Vienna’s Inoperable Gallery.
The Agents of Change show at David Bloch Gallery in Morocco with Steve More, Derm, Carlos Mare, LX One, Remi Rough and Jaybo looks great, especially the sculptures by Mare and Derm.
Michael Johansson recently had some of his so-called “real life Tetris” sculptures on display at a museum in Norway.
Loving these new prints from Skewville, featuring their classic boombox image.
And there’s also two new prints from Greg Lamarche.

That was a long week. But at least it was a fun one too. For one thing, Jill Cohen was in town for a show at my university. Definitely have a look at her drawings. That’s some crazy skill. Here’s the art news I’ve been reading:

Col has a show coming up very soon at Orchard Windows Gallery in New York.
Shai Dahan, Ollio and Ekta got together to paint in Sweden.
Roger Gastman has directed an upcoming film about the earliest modern graffiti writers (is that term a contradiction?).
Shepard Fairey’s latest print is called Eat The Rich. I hate to be the one to call him out on this one since many will understandably perceive it as hypocritical of me, but can a millionaire artist really legitimately make that statement? I know he is a hard-working guy who has been at this for decades, but then the proper time for that rhetoric was 20 years ago. Not when his art sells for hundreds of thousands to millionaires and his overpriced t-shirts are found in the fanciest clothing stores. Plus, the man is a committed and unashamed capitalist. Thoughts? Maybe he is just using the phrase as an example of a culture he is interested in, rather than as part of an intended propaganda poster?
The Vacuum Cleaner is hilarious!
Agents of Change members Remi/Rough, LX.One, Steve More and Augustine Kofie painted what may be London’s largest mural just across from King’s Cross.

The Ghostvillage Project

This looks awesome…

Remi says…

Curated by Agents of Change, The Ghostvillage was conceived as an antidote to a world of ever increasing safety and mediocrity. Six artists were given free reign of a never inhabited village on the west coast of Scotland – working on pristine walls Remi/Rough, Stormie, System, Timid, Derm and Juice 126 have created a gallery like no other…..and finally given the village the ghosts it deserves…..
