Weekend link-o-rama

It’s content I missed. Check it out.

The East Gallery, a section of the Berlin Wall covered in art and still standing, was knocked down this week.
New print available from Pixelpancho.
Or if plush is more your thing, check out Personal Jesus by Dave the Chimp.
Some really great murals by Run in Gambia and Senegal.
Barry McGee has a show opening in Fort Worth this week.
I really like the placement and scale of this piece by Liqen.
Rap + site specific work + Jay Shells = Yes.
Adam Cost is on the cover of the Village Voice this week.
Gaia’s first solo show in London opens at Nelly Duff next month.

If you looked at Vandalog this week, you’d think it was a slow week in street art. That’s not so, but I’ve been locked down working on Up Close and Personal (opening pics here). So here’s some of what I missed covering this week:

This post at Brooklyn Street Art has the info on a number of shows that are opening or have opened recently (Hellbent and John Breiner in Brooklyn, Matt Siren in NYC, Chicago street artists in Chicago, Ad Hoc Art’s show at New Puppy Gallery in LA, Specter at Pawn Works in Chicago and The London Police in Denver).
Moneyless has hit FAME Festival.
Great ad disruptions in Lisboa.
Just photographing Boxi.
Emarama has a zine of her Dropmen characters (available here).
I’m a fan of TYPE’s work in London, and Richard Mellor has put together a Google Map of the pieces.
Gaia has put up one of my favorite pieces from him ever, and has a show opening with the talented Nanook next week in Baltimore. My Love For You’s post on all that is pretty much exactly what I would have posted.
Roa’s been getting up in San Francisco with some great pieces.
Malarky, Sweet Toof and Mr. Penfold have been collaborating on roll-gates in London.
Eine’s latest print, Change, goes on sale at Nelly Duff on May 18th. 30% of profits will go to charity.

The Toaster Show

The Toaster probably has the most random logo possible. He/they just paints the same image of a toaster everywhere, and it’s been going on for years. Sometimes it’s a sticker, other times simple and tiny stencil, and other times they go big (like at Cans Festival), but it’s always the same toaster.

Next week is the opening of The Toaster’s show at Nelly Duff, which includes collaborations with artists like Dicy and Mr. Jago.

Now, it is entirely possible, maybe even likely, that this show will make no sense and it could be very boring, but I’m giving it a shot. If it works, it could be great fun.

One Night Show – Eine at Nelly Duff

Am I the last person in street art to hear about this, or has it just been kept very quiet? This is a last minute post, but this is something I only heard about an hour ago.

Eine is doing a one night show THIS THURSDAY NIGHT at Nelly Duff Gallery. It’s going to be all about that insanely complex new print he attempted. Here’s the PR stuff:

Week of The Tag

I’ve been a bit light on posts this week. Schoolwork has been piling up a bit, and I submit my university applications next week, so I’ve been working on those. I have been following the news though, and it seems like everybody is talking about tags this week.

Hooked has released a zine called Tags: East London, and you can probably tell what it’s about from the title. 30 pages full color photos of some of London’s best tags. Get a copy for just £3.50 including UK postage here.
Beautiful Crime sums up “The Great Debate” about “the merits of paste-ups, graffiti, street art, tagging and photoshopping” based on this flickr comments exchange between Mike Marcus, nolionsinengland, HowAboutNo! and redalert51.
Fecal Face has a Q&A with graffiti photographer Martha Cooper. Fans of ’80’s graffiti should definitely have a read. Cooper has a new book out called Tag Town: The Origins of Writing, available here.
There’s also been some great news in the world of character tags:
– UK Street Art reports that The Toaster has put out a couple of fairly cheap prints over at Nelly Duff. Just £50, but they aren’t very large.
– Hooked announces the release of new Sickboy prints from his recent Stay Free show (I wasn’t able to go, but Graffoto’s got a review)
