DA LIZARD "LIVE" in Berlin! A great pleasure to see artist Mark Bode dressed as one of his characters last night- and giving his longtime buddy Carlo McCormick a hug in Berlin. Mr. Bode is in the midst of completing a large new mural for Urban Nation (UN) right now just off the "Museum Mile" on Bülowstraße where 25 or so artist installations are currently going up!

TelmoMiel are doing a tribute to a Swedish tale and the cartoon from their childhood - the animated series of Nils Holgersson. “Those are the original drawings for the cartoon that we used to watch,” says Dutchman Miel as he takes a break down on the pavement to look up at the animated scene looming above and his art partner Telmo in a cherry picker gazing into the mouth of a fox. The guys are creating a sophisticated tableau incorporating the 2-D cartoon stills of a famous children’s animation and overlaying incredibly realistic 3-D versions of the same.“

Join us for the opening of our pop-up exhibit, featuring newly released sketches by Swoon Studio and limited edition prints by six world-renowned street artists:Case MaclaimFaith XLVIIIcy And SotLi-HillMiss VanTavar Zawacki (Above)

"Like their stencil works on the streets of Brooklyn, Iran, across the US and Europe, Icy and Sot don’t always take the easy road, preferring to use their voice to challenge systemic social/political/environmental injustices and hypocrisies. “Unforced Hijab” combines this activism with their ever increasingly more sophisticated technique and taste level for direct communication.We asked I&S about this new piece for the Heliotrope benefit.

BSA: Can you tell us about the image you have chosen for this new release?

Icy & Sot: “Unforced Hijab” depicts that the Hijab can be a beautiful thing for someone if it’s not forced.

BSA: Do you have a special connection with the people of Haiti or Swoon?

Icy & Sot: We have always been huge fans of Swoon’s work and we admire her projects that help communities. We see that she is always caring for others."

The urban artist Vegan Flava typically is seen in abandoned buildings and ex-factories. Here's a quick look at his studio practice, giving you an insight into the transition that many artist make from one venue to another, one set of materials exchange for a different set.

Spider Tag Uses Electricity to Trace a New Direction In The Dark

Recently in a new modern neighborhood of Malmö, Sweden called Västra Hamnen, Spidertag decided to use a curiously amenable neon cable material to try out a new public installation. He says the total exhibition lasted about 30 minutes, until the battery died, but it was a successful experiment he is eager to expand upon. “I used nails, a hammer and 50 metres of neon cable,” he says, “I thought it was a perfect spot with the buildings in the horizon.”

Great to visit Vhils studio here in Hong Kong and to see the many processes used of deconstruction & reconstruction, and even get to spray bleach on a test piece to see the coloration taking place. Special thank you to Tiago and to Alex and of course Vhils. #hongkong

RUN: “Time Traveller Artist Man” Tells All With His Hands - New Monograph

His graffiti days as a teen in the 1990s were formative, not least because after tagging he discovered his passion for the figurative and his enthralling respect for the materials of art making. It also helps that his outgoing personality helped him mix easily with peers on multiple secretive artistic escapades. When you see the list of his compatriots it occurs to you that RUN had no choice but to be astounding. It also occurs to you that Italy has produced many of the best quality and imaginative, innovative Street Artists. “At the beginning of 2000 we started a sort of Italian school of underground muralism,” he says of his colleagues Blu, Ericailcane, Dem, Hitnes, Allegra Corbo, 2501, Basik and Moneyless. The muralism continues, an..
