Best of 2011: Featured in Vienna 'zine

Submitted by russell on

During my 2008/9 Stencil Nation book tour, I set up an event with Matteo Grieder at his art space Zeitvertrieb in Vienna, Austria. Matteo was nervous about the turnout (a common anxiety during my European tour), but I had Pod and Austrian artist Dieter Puntigam backing me up with live VJ and DJing. A nice crowd came for my presentation, bought books, ate and drank, and made a great scene for the event. Pod laid down a nice bed of video whil Dieter worked his tagtool device. Matteo was surprised and happy with the results.

A month ago, Matteo approached me with a request for photo submissions to his fun art zine "Artyfucked". It is mostly a sketch zine, but he also features street art from cities around the world. Issue #…

Happy Birthday Blek!

Submitted by russell on

Blek le Rat spent his 60th birthday giving away rat stencils. His mischief of rats wandered out into the rainy San Francisco streets on clothes, post cards, cardboard, and his lastest book (I wrote a contributing essay so that there could be some words for his images). The line was long, everyone was happy, and we all got to inahle some spray paint fumes while we enjoyed the hanging canvases. Eclair, Todd Hanson, Jeremy Novy, Eine, and probably other stencilistas were wandering around the gallery and making the scene.

I grabbed some cell pics and posted them to Blek's archive: http://www.stencilarchive.org/archives/index.php/Europe/European_Artist…

[u] fixed... masthead links back soon

Submitted by russell on

My super sleuth sysadmin found the demon error in the NYPost code on the main page. The error was mine and all is happy in navbar land....

...............

While on the remote drive, hoping to make a simple fix, the masthead links decided to disappear!

Stencil Archive sysadmin is on the case.

Meanwhile, archives are still up and running, as is the RSS feed.

To navigate to the main Archives Link, go to: http://www.stencilarchive.org/archives/index.php/

Sit back, stencil surf, and main links navbar will return shortly.

thanks - Russell

The Tour Funds the Murals (Video)

Submitted by russell on

I have my local public art tour set up through a DIY tour site (set up a tour in your city) called Vayable.com. They just moved offices a block away from CELLspace and the murals that I try to maintain and curate. Hard to maintain and curate with no budget, but I make it happen via profits form the tour and an amazing group of volunteer artists, builders, and neighbors.

I walked June from Vayable through CELLspace last week and gave her a tour. She made a short video of the visit.
