From Babelgum "When artist Aakash Nihalani moved from the suburbs to NYC he was compelled by its symmetry. As an organic response he started laying down tape on the streets and on buildings, creating brightly colored sticker tape boxes framing aspects of the city he wanted to show people, creating tableaus from real life. Both uncomfortable at potentially defacing property by using permanent materials, and enraged at the continued treatment of public artists as vandals, we join him as he brings 3D to his work for the first time, via use of mirrors and passers-by, and discuss why impermanence is important to the acceptance of street art."

Another wicked stencil of the week chosen by the good people from StencilhistoryX. I had not heard about the artist  Two Twelve (2:12) before but his works looks very promising. More important then the picture this week, is the timelapse movie. Check it after the jump. Oh and don't forget to visit SHX .

We're probably the last blog to show you this, but for the people who haven't been to the wooster yet today. My first thoughts..: Why not?

There's no better way for a spray paint brand to be represented than by street and graffiti artists. Ironlak appearantly weaponed themselves with a writers team as well, and one of their honorable knights is the skilled Mr Wany. Watch him kill it in this video and pull out your wallets for some Ironlak. Thanks 2 nine-o for finding the video.

If you've never seen Inside/Outside by Rosforth, here's your chance! Instead of downloading it from slow torrents or order it from the middle of fuckwhere USA, you can now stream the whole movie from your favorite whacking chair! Inside/Outside by the Swedish production house Rosforth is THE movie to watch when it comes to street art in it's current form, featuring some of the most inspiring artists they could find like the wise Swoon, KR, Posterboy and the best character in street art: ZEVS. It's definitely worth watching, actualy I wouldn't be surprised if this public release leads to mass defacing of advertisement and 'krinking' of mailboxes. Anyway, enjoy.

JBRock released this pretty kick ass video of a series of pasteups he did across Rome this summer, a few of which I captured, one intact and one ripped.  I also caught some of his stuff this weekend at the DDang Festival in Bracciano, a lakeside town one hour outside of Rome, where I also had an installation up as part of EikonProjekt.  Oddly enough I don't feel like JBRock gets as much international press as Sten/Lex/Lucamaleonte, not sure why, as he's certainly one of the very first in Rome to begin the transition from graffiti to street art, is very well-known/respective here, and his stuff is really good, so check it out.

And the best wishes to the LSD Massives! These guys make it obvious there's something more going on then just a few dudes painting on the streets. Check the recap of 2009 and enjoy all the wonderfull things done that year. Let's make 2010 even more amazing. Join the movement!

I don't own an Iphone, but this is pretty wicked! Link thanks to meneerdezwart.

This project reminded me a bit of the Belgium village Doel we went to and reported on a few months back. But where Doel is a village abandoned by it's previous inhabitants because of the expansion of the harbor of Antwerp, this village on the coast of Scotland never has seen any villagers, because they never came! It's been since the 70's that these houses have been empty and now the Agents of Change have honored their name by transforming this abandoned village in an amazing art gallery. The artists that participated are Timid, Remi/Rough, System, Stormie Mills, Juice 126 and Derm.

Please believe me, this video is absolutely worth ten minutes of your time! You don't even have to stop stuffing your face with x-mas cookies to watch it, so just put it on HD and full screen and enjoy it!

Seems interesting enough! Keep an eye out for this upcoming DVD with 100% hardcore bombing action on trains and subways in Paris, Milano, Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Antwerp, Utrecht, Bologna, Lisbon, Barcelona and beyond
