Weekend link-o-rama

Exciting week next week: Troy Lovegates and Labrona will be coming to Haverford to paint a mural here, so look forward to some pictures of that… If I find the charger for my camera. Also, I’ve taken the plunge and I’m finally on Instagram. Here’s what I’ve been reading this week:

Troy Lovegates has a show on this week in Halifax.
There’s a new ezine by Overunder.
Joe Iurato and others painted a mural in New Jersey that included a tribute to Trayvon Martin. Of course, ridiculous controversy ensued. Here are some thoughts from Joe.
More murals in Richmond, Virginia (including Dalek breaking out some of his Space Monkeys).
I’ve mentioned this before, but here’s a reminder that No Longer Empty is hosting a talk about the Fashion Moda this Sunday moderated by Joyce Manalo and including Stefan Eins, Lisa Kahane, Crash and Lee.
Faile’s new mural in Williamsburg is something quite different and unexpected.
Chaz Bojorquez has his first show in Australia this weekend.

Invader has a solo show opening at Lazarides’ The Outsiders next week. It will include Invader-shaped waffles.

The Future Tense presents SPECTRA I

Haroshi recycled skateboard moose — Haroshi

The Future Tense have another pop-up show opening soon in London: SPECTRA I. It’s the first in a 3-part series of shows with artists whose work has a particular focus on color. The highlights of part one look to be Haroshi, who makes sculptures out of skateboards, and James Marshall aka Dalek, who will be putting out a new etching at SPECTRA I. The show opens at 28 Redchurch Street in Shoreditch on November 24th and runs through December 18th.

Some NY art fair suggestions

EVOL_KreuzbergBackyard_300 — EVOL will be at the WILDE Gallery booth at Volta

With two midterms exams tomorrow, I’m rushing this post, but here’s a simple list for some of what to check out at the art fairs in New York this week.

The Armory Show:
– Honor Fraser (Kaws and Kenny Scharf)
– Ratio 3 (Barry McGee)
– Stuart Shave/Modern Art (Barry McGee)
Fountain:
– 140-foot long street art installation, although it sounds like this might be the same installation as was recently at Fountain in Miami, or at least partially the same.
Verge Art Brooklyn:
– Arch 402 (Cept aka Mike Ballard)
– English Kills Gallery (Don Pablo Pedro)
Scope:
– Contra Projects (D*face, How&Nosm, James Marshall aka Dalek, Ron English, Tristan Eaton, TrustoCorp and more)
Volta:
– Carmichael Gallery (Mark Jenkins)
– Wilde Gallery (EVOL)
Pulse:
– Joshua Liner Gallery (David Ellis)
– Ben Wolf’s installation (He has collaborated with Swoon and Maya Hayuk)

I won’t be in NYC for the fairs myself, but I’ll hopefully have some photos to post. Otherwise, the places I will be getting my art fair news will be Hyperallergic and Arrested Motion.
