Just a question: Anyone wish an air-conditioned home want to trade places with me until things cool down? Anyway, here’s some linkage to what’s been going on with art this week:

Some innocent teenagers outside of Philadelphia were recently cited for drawing on the ground with chalk because the cops think it might discourage real graffiti writers. Why don’t towns hire smarter police?
You can now get wall-graphics for your house with designs by Jim Houser.
This collaboration between Jaz and Dotz is pretty spectacular.
Futura’s got a massive solo show on in NYC now, in association with Valmorida.
ECB just painted the tallest mural in Asia. Fantastic location and great painting.
Dabs and Myla (plus friends) have a great looking show on now at Thinkspace.
Endless Canvas’ Special Delivery show in a formally empty warehouse opens this weekend. The pics I’ve seen look great. Don’t miss this if you’re in the Bay Area.
This project by Swoon to raise money for her work on Braddock, PA will be happening on Saturday in New York.
Space27 is a new gallery opening in Montreal next week with work from a lot of street artists.
Another show opening in NYC tomorrow night (there are so many) is this group show at Agnes B featuring Gaia, Faile, ND’A and others.

Steph is here in Philly now and tomorrow Jordan Seiler, Gaia, and Marc and Sara Schiller will be here too. Pretty good week. Plus, Art in the Streets is almost here and I’ll be in LA for that. Hopefully see some of you there. Here’s some (Philadelphia-centric) news to enjoy over the weekend:

Some very clever yarnbombing on the Rocky statue outside of the Philadlephia Museum of Art. It’s a world-class museum, but so many people just go to see that sculpture and then leave.
Robots Will Kill have a show up at Vincent Michael Gallery in Philadelphia right now. While there’s definitely some filler in there, each artist has 1-2 standout pieces, making this worth a visit. The opening was pretty great, as it was full of teenage sticker artists writing in each other’s black books. Classic.
Agnès B now has a space for art in NYC. The opening looks like an overly-swanky affair, but there’s definitely some good art on the walls (and t-shirts from Bast. What could be better?).
This wall by Cranio is pretty cool. Yes, there’s some Os Gêmeos influence, but the shadows are all Cranio and who in Sao Paulo isn’t influenced by them?
The LA Weekly has done a long feature on Art in the Streets.
