What a cool and fun looking project! The organizer's gather art submitted to them, bundle it up into rolls of 10-15 pieces and then ride around on bikes to give away the rolls at random to people in the city, in this case Berlin. Awesome! More here. The next deadline is June 17th! Hmmm...

Free Bouncy Rides!

WTF?! Well in their own words...

Club Animals (Est. 2008) is a regression from adulthood. Obama said that now is the time to put off childish things, but we could not disagree more. In these times of job loss, government bailouts, and even a potential Depression, Club Animals has turned from adult concerns of money and finances and concentrated our minds on to those of children. Can you think back to a time when you didn't care how much money you had in your pocket? Can you remember a time when you just wanted to play? Club Animals has embraced childhood, and the time when what was valued most was fun, horseplay, and experimentation without worrying about "reality."

Perverts. More Here.

THE GREAT OUT DOORS Opening May 2nd!

from Artbreak Gallery...

THE GREAT OUT DOORS BRINGS OUTSIDE ART INDOORS

STREET ARTISTS ILLUSTRATE DOORS AS CANVASES AT ARTBREAK GALLERY

MAY 2 - 29, 2009

The urban door is one of the most frequently used canvases for street and graffiti artists around the world, it’s frame providing temporary shelter for the elusive artist, it’s surface proclaiming missives for all the world to see. The door is the subject of the landmark group exhibition, the Great Out Doors, on view at Williamsburg’s Artbreak Gallery from the 2nd to the 29th of May, 2009.

Curated by Billi Kid and Luna Park, the exhibit features approximately 30 doors, re-appropriated by some of today’s hottest artists working the street. This show offers each artist the opportunity to expand on painting, stenciling and wheatpasting skills honed on the streets.

Street and graffiti artists love to work within the metropolitan environment and pay close attention to all available exterior facades, most notably the door.

Each of the following participants in the show has at one point or another transformed a door or two for public consumption:

Billi Kid, Blanco, Broken Crow, Buildmore, Cake, C-Damage, Celso, Cern, Chris (RWK), Deeker, Destroy&Rebuild, Dude Company, Feral, Goldenstash, Imminent Disaster, Infinity, Kngee, LA 2, Matt Siren, Morgan Thomas, Peru Ana Ana Peru, Plasma Slugs, Veng (RWK), Royce Bannon, Skullphone, Stickman, Windowzoo and Yassie Goldie.

The exhibit will also features "Street Doors" a slide photo show by Luna Park.

Artbreak Gallery is proud to bring in the doors. Our gallery began with an excitement for what was happening outside and a desire to capture the illusive evasive “street”, “graffiti”,“urban” art. We are overwhelmed by the response and caliber of these fine artists.

New York Street Advertising Takeover

Christopher Beatty

From Wooster Collective, a group of street artists took over 120+ illegal billboards here in NYC over the weekend, reclaiming them for the sake of art, not advertising, by whitewashing and putting up their own work. AWESOME!

Shepard Fairey Busted!

Love him or hate him, Boston police came and busted the man behind the Obey empire in his hotel room as he was about to leave for his opening at the Institute of Contemporary Art. And this is after legally intalling a 20x50 foot banner on the side of city hall! Oops! I know Mass. and Boston in particular are cracking down hard on all things graff and street art related but dude's showing at one of your museums! Bringing in dollars! C'mon!
