So yesterday night was Corleone‘s “This is not Graffiti” inauguration night as you might know.
When I got to the Montana gallery, it was already fully packed inside and outside. I started recognizing some faces and got in to some chats that left me in a good mood. Some minutes later I decide to go in to finally see the exhibition by myself. As I reach my camera to start snapping some pics of the night, I came across this horrific scenario: lens of the machine was “broken”! This immediately killed the mood for the night. I was totally pissed that my machine was at the repair shop just 2weeks ago, and had to go back now for a whole different reason. After more than an hour of pulling the machine out, trying to put it in place and all, I placed my hands to it and heard this ‘CRACK’ sound. I said: it’s either broken or fixed, but can someone please check for me? So… if you believe I got it fixed through the night jump inside for the pics. If not, check it anyway. You might be surprised!

GAU is once again undergoing, but instead of a contest like the previous editions, 2 writers were invited to fill up the 7 billboards along the Santa Just lift in Lisboa. There’s live paintings until this Friday 30th, so show up if you’re around.

“THIS IS NOT GRAFFITI!“, is just around the corner. AKACorleone will be presenting his solo show tomorrow, and the works are ongoing as we speak at the Montana gallery. Jump inside for some fun.

On the very same week that I found out all Portuguese tiles from my local library had been stolen (they had been taken down for restoration, but have been stolen in the meanwhile), I also came across this project that turns the concrete wall left abandoned, and revisits it in the form of stencil, filling the gaps in between that our Portuguese heritage hasn’t been able to. Recuperarte (Recover+Art) is the name of the project.

For over 14 years, this “ranhoso” (snot boy) piece by Uber has stayed in Amoreiras barely untouched.
Over a month ago, the piece had been crossed over but has now been re-done. Check the story inside.

“Alterego” is the latest exhibition from Mr. Dheo, and since it was in Porto and I couldn’t be there for the show, Miss K so kindly took the time to take some pics from the show to display for all. Jump inside for the pics.

Since there’s so many great works and exhibitions being shown at the moment in several cities, instead of dedicating a single post to each of these shows, I’ll be leaving you with the best posts on other dedicated blogs. Jump inside for some awesomeness.

Just came across this video, that’s a promo for a Portuguese tv show entitled “Cidade Despida”, that stars our very own actress Catarina Furtado. You can see a Vhils, Mar & Dirty Cop wall that’s located near Fábrica Braço de Prata.

Some works that seem to have passed by me unnoticed are the amazing posters created by Janina Brandão last summer, with a take on the state of the art in Portugal, for her final school project. This was done in Porto and is exactly what I wanna see being done more and more in Portugal. Good works showing up on the streets.

“Vermelho de Sangue, Verde de Esperança” stands for “Red of Blood, Green of Hope” and it’s the latest work from ± to show up in Porto.
