After exhibiting recently in Amsterdam in July, The Date Farmers are bringing the heat from from Coachella to the Bay for their show at Fifty24SF on September 3rd.

Video: Aya Takano Documentary

We recently saw this short documentary on one of our favorite Japanese artists, Aya Takano.  She discusses her early influences including her childhood readings, the encouragement of Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama, and the um… orgasm of science fiction.  She also discusses the different reactions to her work, often depicting playful and subtly erotic young girls. Part 2 after the jump…

Video: “Pixo” Documentary about Pixacao

Recently, we saw another video about Pixacao, the distinctive form of graffiti found in Sao Paulo, Brazil that we first mentioned here. The video includes more extracts from Joao Weiner and Roberto Oliveira’s documentary “Pixo,” presented last year at The Cartier Foundation in Paris for the “Ne dans la rue” or “Born in the streets” exhibit. Check out the awesome footage (Portuguese or French optional) of the extents these free-climbing “artists” go to to get their work up. Via Upperplayground.

Video: Asbestos x Absolut Vodka

Last we heard from Dublin street artist Asbestos, he was opening his fantastic “Boxing Club” show in North Belfast. We have an update for you on a project he has been working on with Absolut, where he had the honor of remixing their iconic bottle for the Absolut Originals show (details after the jump). Check out this video documenting the fascinating process of creating 200 unique customized and hand-finished screenprints, where he continues exploring his triangular technique (good example of this was his piece for […]

Video: Ernesto Yerena – “Con O Sin”

In this new video, Obey Giant’s Ernesto Yerena explains the concept of “Con O Sin” or “With or Without.”  His subject for the piece, a member of the norteno music scene (literally “northern,” a style of Mexican music heavily driven by accordion and bajo sexto) represents the idea of “Con dinero o sin dinero hago siempre lo que quiero,” or “With money or without, I’ll always do as I please.”  Grafted together entirely from still photos, Con O Sin shows a carefree side of Ernesto, […]

Hush x Complex – Style and Design Project

Have you ever wondered how a painting or sculpture from your favorite artist would look if it was brought to life?  Well, fans of Hush (interviewed) got sort of an idea when he recently collaborated with Complex on a project where they paired four artists up with models to create “four unique fusions of style and sex appeal” for their annual Style and Design package.  Nice to see he got a little diversion after hitting up LA and SF with a couple solo shows earlier […]

In the video, you can also see a nice Hera (interviewed) piece on the left. Check out the time-lapse video for the Hera piece as well as a Chris Stain (interviewed) video after the jump…

Teaser/Video: HelloVon – “Semblance” @ Cerasoli Gallery

HelloVon, the London artist whose work first caught our eye at the “New Utopia” show at Subliminal Projects, just sent us a time-lapse video of one of his pieces for his upcoming show at Cerasoli Gallery.  Entitled “Semblance,” his new body of work will no doubt feature and interesting mix of loose and detailed elements in each piece. We’ll have more to follow as the show draws closer but take a look at another image after the jump…
