Graffiti Burners - Stockholm

Bokrelease för Graffiti Burners – graffitimålningarna som knäcker allt, med bildvisning och panelsamtal med graffitimålare.

Graffiti är en tävling där målningarnas stil och dekoration är två av de viktigaste delarna. Att måla en burner, en målning som överträffar alla andra är det bästa man kan uppnå, men vad är en burner? Och hur vet man när en piece är en burner? Panelen och publiken får möjlighet att diskutera vad som är en riktigt bra graffitimålning.
Hur har begreppet burner använts i Sverige och var kan man hitta burners i Sverige idag?
Medverkar gör bland annat  Jacob Kimvall, doktorand i Konstvetenskap, Malcolm Jacobsson, förlagschef på Dokument Press och graffitimålare som medverkar i boken Graffiti Burners.
I samarbete med Dokument Press.

Book Release.
Graffiti Burners from Document Press
Kulturhuset, Stockholm

NEW Print Australia
http://printaustralia2.wordpress.com/
A relaunch of an old but very popular site first created in 1999. It contains highlights from a number of sites all republished along with new content. The theme is international printmaking.

“In 1999 Blakkbyrd founded Print Australia, an online arts project. Print Australia comprised multiple websites which combined to form one of the earliest social networking sites. It contained one of the first blogs “Impressions” covering PA’s activities from 1999 to 2004. The Reference Library Catalogue contained extensive listings of art related links and the Printmaking Methods page was number one on Google for “Printmaking”.”
Relocating

On the move yet again. This time from Sydney, Australia (with temperatures up to +40degrees) to Stockholm Sweden, (temps down to -40 degrees.)

There will be ongoing feature postings on Scandinavian Art and Culture on both blogs as we explore what is on offer.

Cock Wall



Last week, a wall that Teazer, Numskull and Roach had painted in Camperdown, was painted over by someone (owners, real estate agents, council….?) without the artists knowing. This was the response from an unknown person. It made our day. We’re not sure which one we like best…

Armsrock - Denmark










Armrock restates the qualities of artistic drawings and transfers them into urban contexts. Known for his life-sized drawings of humans at the edges of societies, he glues or projects his drawings onto buildings and walls in city environments. As observations and statements they become ephemeral part of public space and community.

The teaser trailer that Daniel Knight and his team have created, has shown what they intend to achieve through their live action short film adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s Troll Bridge. The trailer is beautifully shot and suggests the promise and potential of this mind blowing story … it could ultimately be a wonderful and dramatic take on this much loved tale."

"Mr. Fairey invited me to paint this wall on Melrose right across from Fairfax High. Of course I was exited about the challenge. It seemed perfect considering we both have been playing with the image of Old Glory. Next Flag will be ten times bigger. The American Flag as an abstract image has endless possibilities…………….."
