Streets: Conor Harrington x Vhils (Lisbon)

Posted by sleepboy, March 29, 2011

Reminiscent of the fantastic JR x Vhils collaboration we witnessed in LA during the Eurotrash invasion last year, it looks like Vhils has busted out his tools again and has hooked up with another street artist for a project. As you know from our feature his recent piece in Lisbon, Conor Harrington’s (interviewed) was in town and apparently also put up this piece with some of Vhils’ special techniques although the effects weren’t as evident as the JR collab, perhaps since it was not as […]

Streets: Conor Harrington (Lisbon)

Posted by sleepboy, March 25, 2011

Lisbon continues to be a hotbed for street activity recently (Brad Downey, Vhils), and it appears according to Stick2Target, a new piece from Conor Harrington’s (interviewed) has popped up. Haven’t seen any indoor work from the Cork born painter since the brilliant Hell’s Half Acre show (covered), so we are certainly curious as to what’s he been working on (mentioned here). More detailed pics of this piece after the jump…

Video: Conor Harrington – ‘Crossing Lines’

Posted by sven, February 7, 2011

It’s always a pleasure to see some of Conor Harrington’s (interviewed) outdoor work, and this beautifully produced short film that he recently put together was a real treat to watch. Crossing Lines documents his trip to Palestine and Israel last June, where he collaborated with Know Hope on a series of murals, as well as completed some solo efforts. Check it out. Discuss Conor Harrington here. Discuss Know Hope here.

Showing: Lazarides’ “Hell’s Half Acre” at the Leake Street Tunnels

Posted by juggernut3, October 20, 2010

One of the most notable stops in our hectic journey through London was Lazarides’ “Hell’s Half Acre” group exhibition. The pop-up show was located in the eerie tunnels of Leake Street (AKA the Old Vic Tunnels where the Cans Festival was held). The dark catacombs were the perfect setting to host this amazing group show that featured signature works from artists such as Ian Francis, David Choe, Conor Harrington, Antony Micallef and Jonathan Yeo. One of the stand out pieces from the show was Paul […]

Teaser: Lazarides – “Hell’s Half Acre” @ The Old Vic Tunnel

Posted by lowpro, October 9, 2010

Opening next Tuesday, Hell’s Half Acre, is a unique concept show organized by London-based Lazarides around the theme of Dante’s “Inferno”, interpreted as “hell” in the influential author’s Italian tongue. Fittingly hosted deep within the underground catacombs known as The Old Vic Tunnels, the impressive roster of artists – including such LAZ favorites as Vhils, Antony Micallef, Ian Francis and David Choe, just to name a few – has been tasked with interpreting the nine circles of hell as postulated within the epic 14th-century poem […]

Update: Conor Harrington

Posted by sleepboy, September 9, 2010

A couple months ago, AM attended a pretty epic group show, “Eurotrash”, at the temporary Lazarides location in Los Angeles that included Irish painter, Conor Harrington (interviewed). It seems Conor is already preparing for his next project put on by Laz and Tunnel 228 this time – “Hell’s Half Acre”. The exhibition staged in the labyrinth beneath London’s Waterloo station will be themed on Dante’s Inferno (like Luke Chueh’s 999 show) and will include other artists like Micallef, Jonathan Yeo, Vhils, Paul Insect, Mark Jenkins, […]

Our friend Sonja has been hard at work putting together her fantastic video recapping the tremendous showing of “Eurotrash” featuring the works of Conor Harrington (interviewed), Micallef (interviewed), JR and Vhils at the LAzarides 90210 pop up space in Beverly Hills. It also includes rad action footage of JR, Conor and Vhils building their outdoor murals. (covered here & here) Discuss this show here. Discuss Micallef, Conor Harrington, Vhils, JR.

Openings: Antony Micallef & Conor Harrington @ Lazarides (Beverly Hills)

Posted by Khoi, June 10, 2010

Two artists from across the pond who are not strangers to Los Angeles – Conor Harrington (interviewed), who had a show with Chloe Early at Kinsey/DesForges last year, and Antony Micallef (interviewed), who had a pop-up show with Lazarides almost 3 years ago – unveiled their newest body of work to a thrilled opening night crowd at Eurotrash at the Lazarides LA gallery. Of the four artists (also including Vhils & JR), who participated in the group exhibition, Micallef’s work stood out the most. Unlike […]

Streets: Conor Harrington in Palestine

Posted by sleepboy, June 1, 2010

Since we brought you pics of Conor Harrington (interviewed) doing this thing in Israel, it would only be natural for him to also pay a visit to Palestine (hinted as his next step in his blog). Sounds as though he particularly enjoyed overlaying his pieces and interacting with the underlying Arabic graffiti that is prevalent in the area. We can only hope that he will have time to get up on the walls of Los Angeles since the “Eurotrash” show opens soon… Take a closer […]

Streets: Conor Harrington & Know Hope in Israel

Posted by sleepboy, May 18, 2010

So it turns out the mural we got a hint of earlier from Conor Harrington (interviewed) was in Israel. Looks like he teamed up with Know Hope to put up some pretty sick pieces. And it looks like he’s not done yet as he looks to tackle the Israel-Palestine wall. More pics after the jump…
