"Dear Wooster Collective,
My name is Jack Addis after reading your post on the site on the 25th Aug, I realized I have been following your site since I was fifteen; I’m now twenty two!
7 years ago I sent over a submission of a single layer stencil, which to my surprise you guys emailed me back! I continued my art education and after a two-year college course I went to university for three more years and last year graduated in Fine Art Painting.
Its strange I feel as if I’ve grown up with your site, checking up at least weekly. For me it is a great source of inspiration and keeping up with news on what is happening in the art world.
So seven years later I’ve just moved to Bristol in the UK, trying to make it work as an artist. There is a vibrant art scene with shows of young artists happening weekly and much bigger events such as See No Evil, in which a whole street was painted by a selection of amazingly talented street artists.
I’ve attached a piece i've just been working on today, all my work is purely digital, glitching and data bending images to create work that is trying to deal with what its like to grow up in a ever increasing connected and digitalized world. If you have have time check out my blog for more!
Again thanks for being there guys your hard work and passion are a real inspiration to me, I hope your well
All the best

For years we've been massive fans of the work of the Chinese contemporary artist Liu Bolin.
Back in December, over a bottle of wine with Liu Bolin's gallerist Eli Klein, we discussed bringing the artist to NYC to do a series of live outdoor performances, paintings, and photographs.
At the time, we said to Eli - "How cool would it be if Liu Bolin were to camouflage himself into Kenny Scharf's mural on Bowery and Houston"
After months of planning, and with the help of Tony Goldman and everyone at the Eli Klein Gallery, we actually pulled it off earlier today.
After flying in from China last night, Liu Bolin spent the morning being painted by his assistants.... and by Kenny Scharf himself.

The results could not have been more spectacular.

"Rather than placing art on the walls of a community, I want my work to become part of the community. My installations halved and attached to the walls, along with thickly drip painted pastes, jump off the walls and onto the same sidewalks members of the neighborhood walk on everyday.
How the Hunt works:
• 1 "centerpiece" art installation
• 10 flowers "planted" on or around Melrose and La Brea"

From Hush - "
onethirty3 – Artists' Installation Space will host six innovative and exciting installations a year. The invited artists will create site-specific art installations which will provide a unique opportunity for visitors to experience large scale examples of the best in wall based painting from around the world.
(Basically the project was born out of an idea i had. I wanted to try and create the excitement and freedom of spontaneous work that replicated street work and the environment. At the same time i didn't want to compromise the artists gallery work or shows. It had to be something that was not just about sales.
We wanted it to be approached as an installation of wall based paintings which conveyed the action, excitement and street aesthetic inside four walls. The project also gives a theme to young talented local film makers and photographers, which we will be exhibiting there documentation works at the end of each year.
Each installation is complimented by a limited edition of 33 prints which really commemorate the artists installation. The idea of my partner Rachael running it and myself curating is also a great balance."

From Elbow-Toe:
"For my first solo show in the UK, Due Date, I am exploring my preconceived notions of parenthood and the opportunities for growth that come through that process. I am presenting a series of narratives that flirt the line between fact and fiction; they are moments of autobiography that have been extrapolated to become allegories. As an artist in the process of trying to become a parent and living in one of the most parent-centric sections of NYC, I am keenly aware of the mania that strikes at the heart of parents young and old. In these paintings I am addressing fears (loss of individuation as well as of the proverbial unknown), the strengthening of bonds in times of crisis, the issues of trying to become a parent later in life and the wisdom gained through the process of parenting.
The work is divided into two groups: a set of images on panels, and a set of images on paper. In the more fully realized works on panel, all the actions are taking place in staged environments. The elements surrounding the figures are merely cardboard props, strictly for the purpose of giving the action of the figures a point of reference. The action of the figures is the reality of the image, everything else is just window dressing. The paint drips and splashes act as abstract gestures clearing things away yet never managing to obscure the events occurring on the stage. In the works on paper, the events being described are contained in a sea of white. By the very nature of the presentation the gestures and relationships are isolated and distilled.
The current body of work builds upon a process of art making that I have been refining for several years. I refer to the work as paper paintings rather than as collage. I see each piece of paper as a brushstroke rather than as a juxtaposed idea. Each brushstroke is selected for it's color, value and texture, rather than it's imagery."

chiral | documentation projection & paper sculpture | MOCA Taipei 2010 from Robert Seidel on Vimeo.
Artist Statement:
"Projection & Paper Sculpture: Robert Seidel
Soundtrack: Richard Eigner
Chirality is a scientific term describing a structure that is not identical to its mirror image. “Chiral” collects cinematic etudes, which develop various conceptual approaches in order to expand the two-dimensional image into space. They are projected onto a sculpture (510 x 260 x 370 cm) and a screen (250 x 200 cm) made from handmade Taiwanese paper and develop very different lives on these configurations of the same material.
The amalgamation of volumetric lights sets ideas from Chinese calligraphy into motion and melts them with influences from European Art Informel as well as impasto painting to an abstract-organic sculpture. The installation is completed by a soundtrack by Austrian composer Richard Eigner (ritornell.at). With the premiere in MOCA Taipei the first iteration of the long-term project was presented…
Premiered at Tripolar Exhibition - 3 Positions of German Video Art
Museum of Contemporary Art (Taipei, Taiwan)
Date June 15th 2010 - July 18th 2010

In what has to be one of the most closely guarded secrets in TV history, the "couch gag" opening of tonight's episode of The Simpsons was storyboarded and directed by none other than Banksy. It's the first time an artist has been invited to storyboard part of the show and when you see it, you'll be shocked that it made it past the network executives.
Amazing, quite dark, and incredibly complex.

"This summer mural painter Matt W. Moore created a series of live painting performances on walls in MARSEILLE, LYON, and PARIS. Directors Le Groupuscule captured the evolution of each mural, gathering over 700,000 pictures, that were edited as a stop-motion animation to an unreleased track by Monsieur Monsieur to create this music video. This collaboration of 3 artistic disciplines to make walls dance is part of the global initiative : Let's Colour Project."

"For this summer’s street art project I’m installing my Dark Doings imagery on highway interchanges, in heavily trafficked bottleneck locations. The idea is that each day, thousands of people stuck in traffic, captive in their cars, roll by my pieces at 2 miles an hour. Almost to a person, the immediate reaction to the pieces seems to be, “WHAT THE FUCK?”, so I’m calling the series, WHAT THE %$#@? (WTF)"... Dan Witz

From Alexander:
"My art practice focuses on the notion of the “inner landscape”. Using generally discarded materials, I make objects as an invitation to the viewer to engage her/his own inner life in order to assign meaning to the artwork.
The cut book art has been made by working through the books, page by page, cutting around some of the illustrations while removing others. The images seen in the finished work, are left standing in the place where they would appear in the complete book. As a final step the book is sealed around the cut, and can no longer be opened. As we remember the books from our own past, certain fragments remain with us while others fade away over time – phrases and passages, mental images we created, the way the stories made us feel and the thoughts they inspired"

“Pepper is a true street artist in the purist sense. Hes known to some by his altar ego; the Mayor of Skid Row, and hes proud to proclaim that hes the last homeless person on the forefront of downtown LAs gentrification. He lives on Santa Fe Ave. where years ago a large tent city used to be, the last holdout.
When I was younger and creeping around downtown, I would notice these colorful, bold, and scrappy art instillations. Pepper has a habit of decorating his immediate surroundings, wherever that might be, with multi-colored paint splats, piled on discarded toys, and other purposefully arranged found objects. You can frequently catch him running around the city with his red shopping cart full of freshly discarded trinkets.
The print Peppers World, and the mural I painted on 7th and Mateo that it inspired, is in homage to his existence. I have enormous respect for those who can survive in such extreme conditions yet still be able to express themselves creatively.”

"Sun Boxes are twenty speakers operating independently each powered by solar panels. There is a different guitar sample in each box all playing together making the composition. The guitar samples are all of different lengths so the whole piece keeps evolving.
Participants are encouraged to walk amongst the speakers. It sounds different inside of the array. There is a different sense of space inside. Certain speakers will be closer and louder therefore the piece will sound different to different people in different positions throughout the array. Creating a unique experience for everyone.
There are no batteries involved. The Sun Boxes are reliant on the sun. When the sun sets the music stops. The piece changes as the length of the day changes. Making the participants aware of the cycle of the day."

STEN LEX stencil poster from STEN on Vimeo.
Sara and I have been following the work of Sten and Lex in Italy for many years. We' absolutel love their latest body of work, created for their current solo show at the CO2 GALLERY in Rome.
They call this recent series "Poster Stencils" because, in essence, they are both stencils and posters at the same time. The video above shows their process of pasting up the matrix of the stencil, cut on paper, on a panel of wood as a poster. They then paint on the matrix in black and when it all all dry they destroy the matrix, letting some parts of the matrix stay pasted to the wood. In this manner the stencil is not reproducible and the matrix "dies" in the work itself.

We love tape artists such as Mark Jenkins and Mark Khaisman and Rebecca's day-glow colors truly bring the store to life. A young artist hailing from Texas, Rebecca truly captures the energy of NYC and utilizes the loft space of the SoHo store. What's her dream building? Epcot.

From Joey Syta:
"Taking two years to complete, I created My Only Desire, a rendition of The Lady and the Unicorn, a famous 15th century French tapestry using only Lite-Brite materials that I acquired from eBay auctions. The work is about 5 feet tall by 6 feet wide and is made from 36 overlapping pegboards comprised of approximately 55,000 pegs.
The final viewing is this Sunday the 17th at Brooklynite Gallery, 334 Malcolm X Blvd., from 6 to 8pm."

"I explore the intersection of fashion and consumerism, using collage as a drawing tool. I collect, reclaim, and reuse Duratrans (the ever present light box advertisements) and fragrance campaign posters seen within department stores as a source material.
Employing a reductive language, I flirt with the viewer’s gaze by altering the material’s surface. By cutting away imagery pulled from luxury item advertising I reveal a new conversation with broad references to the female form. Gucci links, William Morris, art nouveau, tears and textiles intertwine as they overtake the seduction of these advertisements within a consumer culture. Ultimately commenting upon the American lust for material gratification."... Tory Wright

Arrested Motion has a terrific interview with one of our favorite artists, Antony Micallef .
Here's an excerpt:
AM: The faces of your subjects are often smudged, even disfigured. Are you attempting to hide part of the subject?Ant: It’s funny because when I draw, most of the things that get destroyed are the heads. I’ll keep drawing and drawing and these things just blossom. This might sound a bit weird, but the way I visualize the piece in my head is that you see this face coming towards you from under the surface of water. I’ll probably get about 5 come up before I get the one I want. I might try and tweak them, but end up destroying them and then you have to carry on working until something else comes up.
It’s quite good to have a camera phone to take pictures of the work, but then the pictures you take aren’t hi-res. Some of the heads I’ll think are ok, I won’t need to take a picture. Then, I tweak it a little but then it’s just gone completely and changed into something else.
I don’t think it’s about trying to hide beauty, but I’m trying to find something else rather than just looking at a head. I always use my own head as the structure, but I never see them as me. I suppose a few of them when they come out might look like me and they are more like self portraits.
AM: So are you conceiving the bone structure and the skull and building the paint up from there?
Ant: Yeah, it’s like starting with a scaffolding and then I want to flesh it out. The heads have their own identities that come out during the process. They just arrive.

What we love about Specter's work is that all of his pieces are hand painted and site specific. The work above, done in Brooklyn, is from a new project about consumption and waste called "Discarded"
