Loads of Switzerland graffiti photos, all taken from the train travelling from Zurich to Wengan, via Berne. It’s not so easy to get pictures from the train but mostly there is no other way to see these. I used a rapid shot mode to get as many as possible.

Features a couple from JDA, NOAK and HOB.

Every day for the last eight months, Eric Pakurar has been taking a photo of one specific door on Greene St in Manhattan to assemble into a time-lapse movie of how the graffiti and street art builds over time. Eric tells us: “I like to think I’m documenting a sort of collaborative art project — lots of different contributions continually adding to a living work of art.”

Eric is now looking to acknowledge all the different individual artists who have added to the door over that time and is hoping that people will “crowdsource” the names of the artists on his Flickr page here.

From the Crateman Crew:

“The Adelaide Fringe Festival commissioned us to design a float for their opening night parade, based on some of the work we have been doing with milk crates, and in particular the idea of ‘crateman’.

We were reluctant however to simply relocate our street based work into a radically different arena. Instead we were interested in the idea of a parade as being a cross between performance art, sculpture, and audience participation.

The crate sphere was designed to be rolled down the street as the final act in the parade. Comprising of 688 milk crates and being over 4.5 meters high, it had an estimated weight of over 700 kilograms. It was hoped that upon seeing us struggle with the beast, members of the audience would join in, and help us roll the sphere to a glorious end!

Unfortunately the reality was somewhat different.

People in their curiosity came closer and closer to the ball – but were reluctant to get involved and help, or move out of its way when it threatened to crush them. Our cries of distress were misinterpreted as part of the ‘theatre’ of the situation, as we struggled to maintain control. After completing about a quarter of the parade route, the organizers and the police decided to pull the plug, and ordered us to stop the ball.

It was rolled to the side of the street, and left to sit in a ‘no parking’ zone. Here it sat for a day or so, puzzling passers by, a strange visitor to the quaint streets of Adelaide.”

From 2501:

“Italy it’s going through a weird moment right now,everyday we suffer more and more restrictions upon our personal liberty. Berlusconi “the King” of our Republic is eating up the city of Milan beat by beat. Since 2000 squats and populist cultural centers have been the homes of myself and many other like minded artist. In march 2006 24 people were arrested were trying to put a stop to a fascist demonstration. They were convicted of in-sighting a riot and were forced to serve 9 months of a 4 years prison sentence. Meanwhile, the violent and ruthless actions of Italian cops operating at the G8 summit have continued to go unpunished. In september 2008 Valentina a young artist with no previous criminal record that was among the 24 accused of rioting died tragically in a car accident. She was only 26 years old; the stop lights at that intersection were out of order. The city of Milan is devoting its resources to a private war against free and ungoverned cultural spaces, funneling money away from public services.

This video is a tribute to Valentina and to everyone who still resists.”
