UPDATE: Euro Zone: Mini-Tour for January 2009
Early Dec., the good graces of stencildom gifted me a ticket to the EU. I took the opportunity, while in the middle of the Southeast USA tour, to begin putting feelers out for doing the Stencil Nation Book Presentation in as many places as I could work out. Feelers are still out, but some hooks have been snagged:
EU Stencil Nation Book January Mini-Tour (with DJ/VJ Podinski)
- 8 Thu assoonas gallery, Wohlersallee 48, Hamburg, DE (8 pm presentation; Podinski will not be at this stop)
- 14 Wed Neurotitan, Berlin, DE (9 pm presentation; 10:30 pm after party downstairs @ Eschschloraque)
- 16 Fri Skolska28, Prague, CZ (7:30 pm presentation; after party follows)
- 18 Sun Stanica, Zilina, SK (8 pm presentation)
- 22 Thu Zeitvertrieb, Wien, AT (7 pm presentation; after party follows with special guest Dieter Puntigam)
The amazing DJ/VJ Podinski will also appear at these presentations, dishing out his multi-kulti treats. DJ/VJ Podinski is a psychomedia analyst with XLTerrestrials.org, an arts + praxis think tank developing radical hybrid organisms for immediate and unmediated fecundity. XLt work has been featured at festivals, conferences and venues such as Next 5 Minutes, Ars Electronica, Transmediale, 24C3, Roxy/NoD, Pergamon Museum, Kulturbrauerei and Club der Polnische Versager.
More info TBA as it comes along (other gigs in the works: Bratislava, Graz, Hamburg, and maybe Romania) Any leads or advice would be greatly appreciated!
PS: photo upload coming very soon! Just in time for Xmas...... PROMISE!

Logan Hicks: Blogging Primary Flight (Art Basel)
Logan dropped me a pile of photos, which I haven't had time to go through, organize, post etc. due to being on the book tour. But Nikki in SF just tipped me off to Logan's FecalFace post about all the killer FREE, DIY art walls that he and a bunch of artists put up. In the mix: Boxi, Chris Stain, Billy Mode, Shepard Fairey, Ron English, and Logan himself.....
Logal also sent over a link to a Flickr pool with hundreds of pics of Primary Flight
Ron English stencils a background before pasting up one of his freaky characters. Primary Flight, Miami, FL
