Original Cultures the show

target — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:00:57 +0000

Stolen Space was the hardest one to find. I had been for minutes circulating the streets without finding it out. When I finally found it, I was happy to discover a couple of Kid Acne paste-ups in the next door, since he’s one of my favorite artists for a long time. Anyway, Stolen Space was hosting the “Original Cultures”, a show composed by Erica Il Caine, DEM and Will Barras.

Mind the street post, get inside…

For Sale

The book from Erica Il Caine, which showed drawings when he was 10 on one side, and then this reinterpretation of that draw several years later. Just amazing illustrations all over.

Never Odd or Even by Case

target — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:30:07 +0000

Signal Gallery is hosting Case’s newest show “Never Odd or Even”, and was almost closing time when I just got there. Still, there was plenty of time for some quick shots, as the gallery itself isn’t that big. Case is a member of the Ma’Claim crew, world known from their photo-realistic graffiti works, and who’s members have also been here in Lisboa for one of the VSP editions.

What could be found inside

The freckles for this one made me stare for this pic for some minutes.

And the piece that made the flyer is one my favourites. The dynamic of the movement caught in this piece is amazing.

Vandalog just made a video recently, which I believe helps to understand the artwork of the artist, and is therefore a good ending to this post.

And in case you didn’t notice, the name of the show “NEVERODDOREVEN” can be read backwards as well.

Pure Evil Gallery

Pure Evil gallery was a total surprise. I had no idea what I was about to see (rather than Pure Evils works), but instead I found a house adapted to a gallery showroom, a studio and a music rehearsal bunker down stairs. The amount of artworks found in the rooms, stairs and halls from so many different artists blew my mind. Eine, Sten, C215, ROA… wow!
This was a pleasant surprise, right before heading on the way to the Eelus show next door.

Sit back and enjoy the ride…

Pictures On Walls

target — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 10:00:02 +0000

Pictures On Walls is a gallery/shop located in Shoreditch, London. If you’re a streetart enthusiast like me, then this has to be one of the best places to find all sorts of artworks from your favourite artists. Just name it, and most likely they’ll have it. I flipped through the prints on sale, and was appalled to how many of those I’d love to have in my home. And to top it all, at the moment that I talked to someone from the shop, they were just sending out a package to a fellow/friend artist from Portugal. Small world indeed, eheh.
Just enjoy some pics from the enormous (in goods) Pictures On Walls. I’ll be back…

And some close up on prints and originals…

Lady Pink

target — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:00:30 +0000

This is currently not news anymore since it’s out for more than a week, but I just couldn’t let this one go by. Loved the way this project came out.
Lady Pink sanctified by Sweet Meat Co. Read all about it inside…

I don’t like my copyrighted images to be reproduced in books or elsewhere without my permission. But sometimes I get a kick out of seeing how my documentary photos have morphed into something completely different. Lady Pink sent me the photo below from an art piece by a collective in Rochester, NY called The Sweetmeat Co. I admit Pink does look like an angelic vandal in my original photo taken in 1982 (see below) but it was a surprise to both of us to see her sanctified in 2010. - by Martha Cooper

DJ Ride

Every once in a while, I have to give credit to the guys who inspire me, and Dj Ride is without a doubt one of the strongest artists to bring Portuguese sounds to a new level.
I currently leave his albums on repeat, because I just can’t have enough of his music.
The 4 times National Turntablism/Scratch Dj Champ, is here with a new site and a new album “Psychedelic Sound Waves”.

You’re nobody til somebody kills you!

Secret Wars Battle I

target — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:00:28 +0000

So the Secret Wars Euro League has started last week, with Birmingham vs. Lisboa. If you want to read what happened, how it ended, and how it looked like, get right this way…

Beginning of the journey

Flight: Lisboa 19h50m - Gatwick 22h30m
Battle: Birmingham 00h30m

Keeping on schedule would already be hard, but with a 5h delay due to the Paris air strike, it just became impossible.

We finally got to Birmingham at 6h30m, way overdue…

After waking up, we gathered with Terry who informed us we’d have a different kind of battle. With the bar packed on the previous night, waiting for the best team on Euro Liga Secret Wars (our team), it was decided to enjoy half a dozen beers and the support of the locals to get it started.

Instead of 6 artist on stage, music, warm funky environment and a full house as an habitué, our first E.L. Secret Wars was on an empty bar, cold, drinking coffee and milk and with half the wall covered so that we couldn’t see what the other team had done.

The first drafts came out to the sound of Carlos Paredes. Mar, the oldest and more experienced in the “battle field” started to coordinate his team members Chure and Tosco.

Birmingham - a different battle

Amongst cartoons, monsters and words, our wall was starting to get shape and at the same time, some brave ones who’d been there last night started to show up to see what was being done.

The curiosity to see what was behind the huge black sheet that covered the Birmingham team wall was big, but still, we had to wait for the end of the 90 minutes.

They told us to be agressive with Birmingham but we had no idea what was coming…

End result

“He Who Laughs Last, Laughs Hardest” So, this time they won 3-0.

Lunch and Graff afternoon

After a lunch in Birmingham Chinatown, the rest of the day was spent in front of the Lower Trinity wall.

Here, we’ve met one of our adversaries, Fourty Eight, since other 2 where out of town working.

Temperature was great and amongst beer and sprays, time flew by. The locals hospitality was ace.

Lower Trinity St - Birmingham

End of road…

To end up nicely going 150km/h on the highway to Gatwick… puUmmmMMMM!

Tire blew up. Another team building exercise done in a record time.
On March 20th there’s more @ Maus Hábitos. Get ready Porto…
