“I want to share one of my last walls here in Bogota, is the image of a boy extracted from a photograph taken at Morabia, a slum in northern Medellín (Colombia) currently being destroyed, displaced families live there from different parts of the country, especially from the Pacific coast.”

For several years, a leaky pipe on 33rd Street beneath the Hell Gate Bridge viaduct approach has submerged more than a hundred square feet of heavily-trafficked sidewalk under a festering cesspool of standing water. Astoria Scum River, as it’s called, stretches the entire width of the sidewalk, and as winter approaches, the river ices over and becomes particularly hazardous to cross.

Astoria Scum River Bridge was constructed to offer Astorians an opportunity to safetly cross this hazard. The unauthorized bridge is a gift to the pedestrians of Astoria in the absence of successful municipal efforts to ameliorate the problem.

The bridge was made at zero cost entirely from recycled materials: an old work bench found on the curb, rescued screws from a disassembled desk, and a metal plate from an expired electrical component. It was installed and dedicated on December 30th, 2009.

On January 25th, 2010, Astoria Scum River Bridge was the subject of a commendation from the office of NYC Council Member Peter F. Vallone, Jr., accompanied by a pledge to work with Amtrak to re-route Astoria Scum River off the sidewalk.

The bridge remains in place as this work progresses.

Astoria Scum River Bridge is an unauthorized city improvement by Jason Eppink and Posterchild.

For years, Joe Stevens has been documenting surviving 70′s and 80′s era custom/conversion vans parked on streets throughout the Bay Area and Southern California.

Joe explains:

Vans and the places where they were documents surviving custom and conversion vans across the West and examines the dialogue which exists between a van’s design aesthetic and that of its surrounding environment. The project began in 1996 and currently consists of hundreds of images shot on 120mm film.

Over the course of the project the vans themselves have become more and more of a rarity. The reasons are as simple as rust and changing tastes; and as complex as government “cash for clunkers” initiatives encouraging more fuel-efficient transportation. Notably, at the same time these vans have been disappearing from our roads – film photography as a visual medium has also begun it’s slow death. Consequently the goal of the project is to one day shoot the last remaining van on the final frame of photographic film in existence. Then the project will be finished.

You can see the full set here.

Jason De Caires Taylor’s latest underwater installation is now being installed in Cancun, Mexico. When fully finished in 2011, it’s by far and away going to be Jason’s most ambitious project yet, making it the largest underwater sculpture park in the World.

Jason has just positioned the first 3 sculptures of the project and the team is now underway creating 400 life size figures for ‘The Silent Evolution’. The 400 pieces will form a timeline of the changes both visually and socially in humans over the past centuries.

All of Jason De Caires Taylor’s sculptures for Mexico will be placed within the National Marine Park of Cancun, Isla Mujeres and Nisuc and are designed to form an artificial reef. They will be the basis for the World’s largest Underwater Art Museum.

The first pieces, seen above, are entitled La Jardinera de la Esperanza (The Gardener of Hope), Coleccionista de los Sueños (The Archive of Lost Dreams), and Hombre en Llamas (Man on Fire).

The second phase currently in progress is entitled; La Evolucion Silenciosa (The Silent Evolution).

New GUI & VERDE Graffiti, Sao Paulo Brazil

Brazilian urban art always excites the crap out of me so it’s great to show some more… We’ve featured GUI and VERDE before, they’ve done some new stuff and it’s looking sick.

There is a new GUI and VERDE graffiti video too, see them paint it up in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Check out the GUI interview and the VERDE interview with World Graffiti and see loads more pics of their art too.
