Video: “Skullphone Strikes Again” @ The Standard, Hollywood

Posted by sleepboy, July 28, 2011

The last time we caught up with digital street specialist Skullphone in Los Angeles, it was a year ago at his show held at Subliminal Projects. The LA-based artist now returns with a project in collaboration with The Standard including The 6th Street Mural at The Standard, Downtown LA and The Box (see Tim Biskup & Ryan McGinness) at The Standard, Hollywood. Take a look at some of the footage in the video above and also make sure to head over to the Hollywood location tonight […]

Posted by sleepboy, July 26, 2011

The historic Art in the Streets exhibition is drawing to a close soon with the last day scheduled for August 8th. For street art and graffiti fans out there who haven’t made the trek over to the MOCA yet, make sure you put it on your to do list as you will regret not visiting.

Streets: D*Face ‘Death From Above’ Pavement installation

Posted by sven, July 20, 2011

You probably came across the pictures online recently of the paving slab that D*Face (interviewed) installed in East London a couple of weeks back… Known for carrying out street level interventions previously such as his concrete spray cans, and also the tombstones he installed on the Hollywood walk of fame, first seen in our studio visit, AM thought the paving stunt was a pretty cool move from D*Face. It’s long gone already of course – probably taken in much the same manner it was installed – and […]

Last week, we brought you some photos of Buff Monster (featured) working on a spot above Hollywood Boulevard with pink paint and wheatpaste. Now comes footage of him in action leaning over the edge of the roof as well as a closer look at the “10 Years” stencil, a reference to the 10th anniversary of drawing his first signature character. Thanks to Carlos Gonzalez for the video. Discuss Buff Monster here.

Videos: JR – Inside Out Project

Posted by juggernut3, July 14, 2011

This spring, when JR announced that his Ted Prize wish was to “Use Art to Turn the World Inside Out” he really wasn’t joking. Using people to participate is the key and the goal is to make this the world’s largest participatory art project and since this initiative began, portraits have reached citizens on almost every continent. For review, the concept is simple. Go to the Inside Out website (here), upload your portrait so JR can send you a printout for you to wheatpaste to […]

Video: D*Face Ridiculous Pool Paint Attack

Posted by sleepboy, July 7, 2011

Remember when D*Face (interviewed) hit up the Ridiculous Pool, the skateboarding hotspot in San Bernardino, California back in 2009? Named because of its sweet curvature, the empty pool is perfect for skaters and this time D, who was in town for the Corey Helford anniversary show, took advantage of that fact by attaching spraycans to the decks and letting everyone paint up the pool. Check out the spirographic effect in the video above. Via LAMJC. Discuss D*Face here.

Video: Ekundayo

Posted by sleepboy, July 5, 2011

Ekundayo (interviewed), who we hung out with at POW WOW earlier this year, recently sent us this video of him getting up on Kapahulu in Hawaii. Not a stranger to wall work in his home state (see here and here), the LA-based artist painted this newest piece after being inspired by an old Hawaiian legend of which he explains in the video above. The project was supported in part by 33THIRD.com and UMIWORKSHOP.com. Discuss Ekundayo here

Video: Tom Sachs (Selby Video)

Posted by sleepboy, June 28, 2011

It looks like The Selby, whose quirky studio visits we have featured here on AM in the past, have expanded into film. This time, Todd visits sculptor Tom Sachs, owner of an uncanny ability to cobble together functional contraptions out of accumulated components. We have encountered many of his handcrafted “bricolage” at various art fairs and at the Lance Armstrong organized Stages exhibitions if you remember. The footage follows Sachs in his studio where they touch on various topics including the use of assistants and […]
