DAZE@Tuscan Sun Festival

The street artist DAZE at Tuscan Sun Festival :
"Every year, the 'Conversation with an Artist' series proves to be a very popular event at the Tuscan Sun Festival. For very busy artists who are constantly in demand, the opportunity to sit in the intimate setting of the Sant'Agostino courtyard in a question and answer interview format, is rare.
We begin the series in Palazzo Casali on Sunday, August 1st at 5pm with an opportunity to meet this year's visual artist, DAZE (We're calling this on 'Meet the Artist'). Answering questions from the journalist Matthew Gurewitsch, learn about his technique, how he has developed as a New York urban artist, the background of some of his pieces, and ask him your own questions about his art and life.
Russian pianist Natasha Paremski, who is performing with Sting during the Twin Spirits concerts, meets with Matthew Gurewitch on Monday, August 2nd at 6pm in Sant'Agostino for a 'Conversation with an Artist'.
Principal dancers of the American Ballet Theater, Maxim and Irina join Matthew the next day, Tuesday, August 3rd also at 6pm. This is in advance of their closing night ballet gala on August 6th".

Il libro di POP UP !


Si intitola POP UP! Arte contemporanea nello spazio urbano il primo libro interamente dedicato all’omonimo festival di street art di Ancona.
Il volume, pubblicato da Franco Cosimo Panini Editore, sarà in tutte le librerie a partire dal mese di agosto, ma sarà presentato in anteprima venerdì 30 luglio 2010 ad Ancona, in occasione della proiezione del nuovo attesissimo video di animazione di Blu dal titolo BIG BAN BIG BOOM.
L’evento, aperto al pubblico, si svolgerà presso Porta Pia alle ore 22.00 e rappresenta uno degli appuntamenti più attesi della terza edizione del festival POP UP!, in programma dal 26 giugno al 5 settembre 2010.
Il volume di oltre 200 pagine raccoglie tutte le opere realizzate per le prime due edizioni del festival e comprende anche l’attesissima creazione di Ericailcane che inaugurerà proprio l’edizione di quest’anno.
Il libro – frutto della collaborazione tra l’Associazione Culturale MAC e la Franco Cosimo Panini Editore – si fa così narrazione e testimonianza di un festival che in sole due edizioni ha ridisegnato la scenografia della città di Ancona con maestosi wallpaintings e interventi innovativi di street art sui pescherecci, istallazioni over size di poster art, eventi espositivi e convention, grazie alla partecipazione di artisti riconosciuti nel panorama internazionale dell’arte contemporanea.

Quando si parla senza sapere ......

 
Interveniamo per dare notizia di una polemica assurda scoppiata intorno alla manifestazione amica BN POST IT UP.
Un certo avvocato di provincia (non voglio esprimere giudizi per non essere querelato) ha aperto una polemica inutile non capendo il significato di un intervento artistico presso la manifestazione beneventana.
Non è la prima volta che il potere politico o pseudo tale si dimostra sordo non solo al cambiamento ma anche all'intelligenza umana.
Leggete qui i due articoli del periodico IL QUADERNO e di altri mezzi di informazione locale e fatevi due risate (ma poi incazzatevi !)

Whitecross Street Party


The Whitecross Street Party will be held in the heart of London’s internationally renowned art scene and will include some the worlds most creative living non-conformist Artists. For TWO whole days dozens of Leading cult, counter culture and contemporary artists will converge upon Whitecross street.
Here they shall lay siege to the notion that things always have to be the same.
Happily the area famous for its historical creative’s, dissidents and mavericks will now see again on mass - 'Rise of the non- conformists'.
The whole street will become a creative haven of artistic opportunity. Not only will two dozen leading artists transform the street to become a giant canvas but also local schools, community centre's, local business's, local council and local charities in unity have pitched together to make this event one to be remembered. Showcased also will be over ten underground musicians playing Parisian style right on the street.
Whilst also expect loads of wonderful activities and things to do for all ages. This will include things like giant knitting, carnival Parades, cilk screen workshops, Children's photo booth, stencil printing workshops, live art demonstrations, Birds of prey and lots more.

BREAKING NEWS : Prosciolto BROS

Ancora un post in italiano per informarvi dell'assoluzione di Bros, artista milanese a processo in quel di Milano per tre episodi di vandalismo (secondo De Corato) o semplicemente per avere espresso una forma d'arte urbana (il punto di vista di chi ama e sopratutto sa cos'è la Street Art).
Vi segnalo due articoli de Il Corriere della Sera (equilibrato) e de il Giornale (delirante).
Anche se l'assoluzione non rappresenta un passo in avanti per il riconoscimento del graffitismo come forma d'arte, noi siamo contenti che De Corato mastichi amaro.

BIG BANG BIG BOOM !

Viva la Revolucion@MCASD, San Diego


For the first time in history, the majority of the world’s population lives in urban communities.
The urban setting and its corresponding lifestyle are major sources of inspiration in contemporary culture.
This is an historic revolution in visual culture, in which the codes and icons of the everyday—found on the streets in graffiti, signage, waste, tattoos, advertising, and graphic design—have been appropriated and used as an integral part of contemporary art-making. The urban landscape inspires and serves as both a platform for innovation and a vehicle for expression for many artists.
The city itself, its buildings, vehicles, people, and advertisements, are not only the surface where the art is applied.
The city fuels the practice.
A multifaceted exhibition that explores the dialogue between artists and the urban landscape, Viva la Revolución: A Dialogue with the Urban Landscape features works both in the Museum’s galleries as well as at public sites throughout downtown San Diego.
The exhibition includes a diverse range of 20 artists from 8 countries that are linked together by how their work addresses urban issues -- Akay (Sweden), Banksy (U.K.), Blu (Italy), Mark Bradford (U.S.), William Cordova (U.S.), Date Farmers (U.S.), Stephan Doitschinoff [CALMA] (Brazil), Dr. Lakra (Mexico), Dzine (U.S.), David Ellis (U.S.), FAILE (U.S.), Shepard Fairey (U.S.), Invader (France), JR (France), Barry McGee (U.S.), Ryan McGinness (U.S.), Moris (Mexico), Os Gemeos (Brazil), Swoon (U.S.), and Vhils (Portugal).
Viva la Revolución: A Dialogue with the Urban Landscape is curated by guest curator Pedro Alonzo and MCASD Associate Curator Lucía Sanromán.
