Great KAWS video from his Museum opening thing which looks like it was held on the set of desperate housewives. Still all his stuff in one place looks so good. Especially the room with all the sketches and the huge spongebob paintings.

ZDLR on Soundstrike and Arizona.

Summary of major provisions: This bill unconstitutionally allows the state of Arizona to regulate immigration by establishing a separate state offense for any person to violate provisions of the federal immigration law regarding registration and carrying registration documents. It gives local police officers authority to investigate, detain and arrest people for perceived immigration violations without the benefit of proper training, exacerbating the problem of racial profiling and raising concerns about the prolonged detention of citizens and legal residents.

WHAT WHAT WALL

RPM, RICHT on the left, OATH, GUMBO on the right.

Fun afternoon wall at the Deaner.

First letters I have ever painted. And I only painted two….slowly but surely.

It’s got nothing to do with the shapes your painting and everything to do with your confidence. I was completely useless and had to keep reminding myself what i would usually draw.

Glad it’s done, gonna attempt a full piece next. Can’t be the character man its just not all that fun.

PRESS AND RELEASE

A Celebration of Printmaking

12 June – 24 July 2010

High Roller Society presents Press and Release, a group exhibition featuring 50+ street and contemporary artists from the UK, US and Europe, displaying a wide array of ancient and modern-day printmaking techniques. The exhibition, which runs from 12 June-24 July, will also feature a screen printing workshop and a linocutting demonstration (dates TBA).
In today’s visual art world, objects, images, and ideas seem to materialize extremely quickly. No doubt influenced by a fast-paced modern lifestyle where high-speed internet, instant-messaging straight to your mobile phone, and linked social media sites have set new barometers for high expectancy and low patience levels. For art lovers and visual carnivores, mere blinking likely causes us to miss a lot of whats happening. On the other hand, life’s current seems to have carried the artistic approach farther downstream, away from once-adopted creative virtues such as preparation, process, and absorption. To add to the artist’s dilemma, there is yet another question of preference [or, rather, confusion]– craft, or speed? Exploration, or production?
As a peacemaker between these polarized forces, printmaking and its gamut of techniques, by nature, bridges the divide between laboured image-making and instant visual gratification. Originating in ancient Mesopotamia and China, intaglio and relief printing are still very much alive in the arts. Yet, modern-day capabilities have vastly widened the spectrum for artists interested in this medium. From etching and embossing, to monotyping and pochoir, printmaking offers a broad range of experimentation, with the added bonus of quick production and affordability.
Press and Release spans a mixture of age-old printing methods and those now available in our digitized world, where all 59 artists have used the process and limitations of printmaking to their advantage.
