FLYING FORTRESS@Galo Art Gallery

Location: Galo Art Gallery, Via Saluzzo 11/g, Torino
Show: Flying Fortress, "La Fortezza Volante"
Date/Time: 10/09/2011 17:30 - 21:00  (show runs from 10/09/2011 - 29/10/2011)
The Galo Art Gallery will be bringing Flying Fortress to Torino to do a solo show, the opening will be held on Saturday 10 of September.
Munich based artist Flying Förtress started to do classic graffiti in the early 90’s. 
After a couple of years he felt himself stuck in a one-way alley so he quit writing and focused on his graphic studies. 
Back with new ideas and influences he arose again at the beginning of the millennium and hit the streets back with his infamous Teddy Troops. First they appeared on posters, stickers and as pieces on the walls but later also turned into the third dimension as an urban vinyl toy. 
The Troops are still getting sent out to occupy the public and private space. He has been traveling around the world for exhibitions to places like Paris, Barcelona, London, Berlin, Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Melbourne and New Zealand.

ROBBO@PURE EVIL GALLERY

Message from Pure Evil Gallery.
We’ve just started putting up a few of the pieces handed in so far for the Preview of the ROBBO auction @ Pure Evil Gallery.
The preview of the auction opens Thursday evening at 6pm but some images of the work donated so far is up already because we want to get on it straight away… so far we have already raised abut £25,000 selling paintings and prints which is going towards Robbo and his family… he has a baby who is 1 year and 8 months old and other children and we’re trying to help the family out.

The guy is in a coma still, but he seems to be responding to some commands… anyone who has speculated about his injury and what actually happened to put him in hospital heres the scoop : He fell outside his house and hit his head really badly on some stone steps and he has been in hospital ever since.

I dont care about the graffiti / street art politics behind Banksy vs Robbo thats just a falling out between 2 painters. In the bigger picture of things its meaningless . This is more important than all that, we’re just trying to help out a mate. He’s no angel but he’s had a hard knock (literally) and he needs our help.

RONZO - NEW MONSTER ON THE BLOCK


'Crunchy' the infamous 'Credit Crunch Monster' got a bit of a make over and moved location recently. Nobody escapes his greedy glare and from his new post on The Old Truman Brewery, he is turning his attentions to the East London and the 2012 Olympics. Let's hope with 'Crunchy' keeping an eye on events, the Olympics will bring in some 'gold' and not bankrupt us further!!! For more images visit the Website. Thanks very much to Jason and everyone who helped making it happen. Big up! To read more about what's happening at Crunchy's previous location click here.
