We’ve announced the show last week, and now the pics are in. “Memória & Destruição” was a collective show with many artists on its line up, working on different mediums. Among the artists, were RUA collective which I’ve been following close lately. You can check the gallery pics and video inside.

With the end of the year coming to a closure, Canal 180 have made a mini documentary on the work of MaisMenos±, an artist that completely stood out in the year of 2011. Here’s a small reminder of what he did throughout the year.

As WOOL festival was kicking in for the 3rd event with BTOY, I headed to Covilhã again to get a glimpse of what was happening at the time. Fortunately, Uriginal was in town as well and I had the pleasure to meet him during my stay. The constant good mood with Uriginal was contagious. He also left a piece in Covilhã, and along with it I left a small video of the process.

I’ve been following on Pedro Campiche akaCorleone‘s work for some time now. He just launched a hell of a video, showcasing his studio, methods of work, spraying and chilling. And this kid is a lefty, so creativity is surely not missing here. Check his video inside, done by IamfromLx.

Mr. Dheo just released a powerful new video for his latest piece “Last Ride”, painted on an scrap yard.

Costah has worked on a new collective exhibition at Piece of Resistance in Viana do Castelo, alongside with Agra and Romain de roi, exploring different medias through sound and it’s environment. A total of 35 canvas and live paintings were on display, and after the show Costah took some time to leave some pieces on the streets as well. Video and pics inside.

Bico d’obra

Around two months ago, I was contacted by two young brazilian artists (André Castanheira & Diego Casanovas) who wanted to do a short doc on Porto’s streetart. I’m glad to see the short doc has been released at the “Manobras no Porto” event last week, and can now be seen online. Jump inside for the video, and you might just recognize such artists as Tae, Costah, Hazul, Paul Bloas, ±MaisMenos, Dub and many more. Enjoy…

Porto: um senhor imponente e tatuado

Proud to announce that a new urban art festival is about to begin, outside of the main cities of Portugal. WOOL is the name of the festival to take place in Covilhã, and it’s a pun between the word WOOL and its near-homophone WALL. Artists like ARM collective, Vhils, Btoy and the Inside Out project by JR are already part of the festival, which will have several on going events during the next months. It’s sure to say that more surprises will pop up in Covilhã soon. Poster and video teaser inside.
