Mr. Brainwash, dont bite that apple! #Banksy #Art

Really, Banksy's film, "Exit Through the Gift Shop" is fascinating. That's resuscitating Wharol's spirit, in a way... In fact, Banksy might be a commercial brand alright, but he is still a genius. Although some of his work has nothing to do with the on-the-spot...

Scratched walls (#VHILS, #Streetart)

This is a new recipe of street art: scratch walls and throw litters of white painting. This is how you'll recognize VHILS' work in European cities (London, Moscow...). He became famous when he was associated with the King of street art, Banksy, at the...

The Guardians of Dashanzi

Dashanzi Art District is the now infamous art zone located in Beijing East suburbs. It grew on the remains of an old military factory complex and is now very trendy among Beijing upper class and expats. In fact, as most of the real beijing artists fled...

#Paris #vintage #commercials (#Suze, #Eclipse, #Pigalle)

Paris doesn't change much over the time, but it does. If you look at the walls, you'll find a lot of old commercial that have either faded or have been covered by graffitis. Here is a nice example, near Pigalle (Rue des Martyrs / Bd Rochechouard): This...

Beijing Guo An (Country's Peace)

Beijing Gao'An soccer club tifo is somewhat special: it is not Beijing colours (green), but China national flag! Anyway, Beijing won in the end, and is China 2009 champion. It is still very far from a decent level though... And here is the club's song...

ALEGRIA, Javier #Mariscal en #Barcelona

Work made for the exhibition Mariscal at La Pedrera in Barcelona. Right in front of La Pedrera (one of the "casas" by Gaudi), the presence of this sculpture, standing in one of the most central avenues of Barcelona, might be surprising. Although we can't...

Atelier #Galerie102

I recently came across Galerie 102, rue Lepic, and noticed the following canevas by André Martins de Barros. Quite interesting: like if Arcimboldo converted to pornography, in a way. Funny, indeed. But if you'd like to spend your money in less subversive...

#Raspouteam: le #StreetArt raconte l'histoire de #Paris

L'idée du collectif Raspouteam est toute simple: utiliser le street art et le potentiel du digital (QR codes et géolocalisation) pour remettre en scène des moments clefs de l'histoire relativement récente (depuis La Commune de 1870) de Paris. C'est un...

A very surprising exhibition took place on the Pont des Arts in Paris: Frigo Art. In fact, this one-day exhibition was an auction for the benefits of a non profit organization (Banque Alimentaire d'Ile de France). Some of the works are really eye-catching...

1000, Invader (#Invader, #Streetart)

Lastly, Paris was litterally invaded by these little monsters. Now, I understand why: Invader was preparing a self-promoting exhibition in Paris! Sounds good, from what I heard: a real immersion into his universe, with original special effects, multi-dimensional...

#DeadDrops: when illegal content sharing gets back to basics

Have you heard about Aram Bartholl? His idea is simple, but oh so genial: “Dead Drops” is an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space. USB flash drives are embedded into walls, buildings and curbs accessable to anybody in...

#Digital + #Streetart = STREET ART VIEW (#Redbull)

This is something I wondered: how no one had ever thought of creating a map of street art, leveraging Google Map potential... Well, it probably requires a lot of effort, energy, and a good knowledge of social media to make it viral and gather enough contributions...

Beijing Olympics Big Rehearsal

The delicate name of the National Stadium - "the Bird's Nest" - is a nice tribute to Chinese sense of humor... Or we don't have the same sense of what a bird is :)
