I’ve been following on the Dama Aflita gallery shows for quite some time, and it always strikes me at the awesome choices of the artists they take to their exhibitions. IBIE & EDJINN are some of those artists who just premiered the show “NAIFA”. Besides the show, they also found some time to leave some of their characters over at the social Factory. All pics by the artists, the Gallery and akaCorleone, who was also present at the opening day.
Stephan Doitschinoff aka CALMA opened to the public his latest installation / performance in Lisboa this Saturday. The audience gathered for some time before the show, and when the preparations were done, we started lining up by the alley along the walls. A temple was built, and the performance would then complete the piece inside one of the most traditional neighborhoods of Lisboa, Mouraria. Check this great interview (PT only) with Stephan at Janela Urbana to better understand his research, work and religious symbols. Inside this post, a sample of what the performance was like, a one in a life time event.
After Moody’s rated our country as “Junk” (Ba2 in their scale) several actions started to take notice, from random people flooding the contact form of the Moody’s website, to creative companies making some videos on it, to artists such as iamfromLX. Check the video inside.
With the elections coming this week, Adres has left a little intervention on one of the many many billboards on election days.
Following on the work Pantónio had left two weeks ago, and after some major exposure on the news, he decided to hit other signs again, and these can be seen in Saldanha, Braancamp, Marquês and Rossio on the 25th of April.
It’s an idea I’ve had laying for far too long, so today I finally decided to release it. For this first phase, only some selected places are featured and mostly in Lisboa. For the future, however, more cities and pieces will be added to this, as it’s expected. This will be an ongoing updated page. So, if you’re one of those always asking to know what’s around Lisboa, or where you can see what, just give a look at the map. Enjoy
Artists Brad Downey and MOMO make part of the third installment of the CRONO project in Lisboa. MOMO painted the facade of a building, much like the previous artists of CRONO, but Brad Downey took a different approach, as it is usual by his installations nature. I have to admit I didn’t understand the pics at first, but after you get it… Brad buffed specific places and left the graffiti untouched or sometimes renewed, quite the opposite of what the city council would do.
Roadsworth and Phil Allard left us about a week ago, but I only stumbled across this video today. It’s a small interview with some footage from his work in Lisboa that I left here, BP Boycot Petroleum.
Artist MaisMenos ± just created a website dedicated to his street interventions, familiar to all the ones who’ve seen those big stencil statements wether in Lisboa or Porto mainly.
Crisis is hitting hard everywhere and Portugal is no exception. These posters were released on general strike day. The motivation behind the posters, pics and video inside. Although all of the news are more than 2 or 3 years old, it still matters. The campaign is out on the streets of Lisboa.
