Fire Sale in Athens
This mural was done in Athens by an artist named Woozy. He tells us - "The title is "fire sale" and based on big fires that destroyed half of my country's forests last summer."

JR and Blu Together in Berlin
The piece above, a collaboration between JR and BLU is part of "Planet Prozess", a massive urban art event now taking place in Berlin.
For the organizers"
"(...)The participating artists place a special emphasis on the conjunction of internal and external space. The exibition will be a dynamic process whereby the Artists develop their work over the three weeks. For one month the former Senatsreservenspeicher, situated at the Spree, will become the nerve center connecting all artistic processes. “Planet Prozess” invites the public to join the creation-process every day of the exhibition; to meet the artists and to discover the variety of urban creation and communication. Participating and observing, the public can experience the diversity of street writing, graffiti or other forms of urban expression.
After 21 days the creative process comes to an end. We are going to celebrate the results with a Block Party and a second Opening. The works will be on show for another ten days. The internationally renowned artists, from train-writer to fine artist, reflect their national and cultural context in their work."

"Handle With Care"
"Some street artists in the city of Izhevsk in Russia paint “Handle With Care” signs on the walls of multi-stored apartment houses. You can meet “Handle With Care” “Don’t Turn Over” or “Don’t Get It Wet” signs on the house walls up to 100 feet (35 m) high. They claim that those signs act as guard sign against bad things for the inhabitants of those houses."

Every Image Has A Story - "Remember Who You Are"
From Chase: "After a few years of getting weathered, it was time to touch-up and re-paint my little girl on main street in Santa Monica. She is part of my "Remember Who You Are" campaign, a public service I provide where I paint young children in the public domain with the text next to them saying: "Remember Who You Are". Children represent the closest stage in this lifetime to the Essence and have not yet been conditioned by today's world. No wonder they are so full of Love, Joy, Wonder, Peace and Truth.
The intent behind the "Remember Who You Are" installations is to stimulate the general public to re-consider and re-member with their inner child."
Later tonight, Chase will have a solo show in Los Angeles at Xin Boutique, located at 8064 Melrose Ave. The show goes on from 8-11pm.

Jace Goes To Jail
From Jace - "Some weeks ago a guy called Christian called me to build a project: painting some stuff in an old dirty jail in the south of Reunion Island. Luckily the jail manager was ok to let me get in and do my own stuff . I went there for two days and painted 5 pieces in the corridor and different common places (i will probably come back and paint some inside the yard). Technically it was really strange cause I used a ladder and I had to be vigilant to avoid any escapes!! Some prisoners knew my work and were really pleased to see it coming inside their place ! The guards enjoyed it too, except one touchy guy who didn't want to get back in his office. It was so crazy he saw my angel and demon upon his wall and was offended cause his colleague joked at him and compared him to the devil! He began to be angry and asked me to cover my characters.
The manager arrived and became furious with the guy, i thought they gonna fight, it was so crazy !!!! Some guards separated the two persons to avoid the fight, oh man ! It was so weird to watch people react like that for a picture !!!! The director promised me that ALL the painting gonna stay for a while.... Believe me or not but jail is not "a place to be" even with gouzous ;-)) !!!

Zonenkinder Salutes Baudrillard
"our latests piece is dedicated to jean baudrillard who died aged 77 on the 6th march.
He was a famous French philosopher and sociologist and one of the first intellectuals who got inspired by the graffiti in new york which he called "the revolt of signs" therefore he wrote the in eresting essay »Kool Killer ou l´insurrection par les signes« in the early seventies at a time when there was hardly any graffiti on walls here in Europe."

Bringing Art to the Streets of Vila Cruzeiro
Over the years we've come to understand that the motivation behind so many of the great peices of urban art for the artist to take buildings that have been neglected and forgotten and to make them beautiful with art.
We absolutely love this massive mural that Dre Urhahn and Jeroen Koolhaas did in Vila Cruzeiro, one of the most violent favelas in Rio de Janeiro. The artists painted together with two local kids from the community. Its amazing how the colors of the piece contrast with the grey building around it.
You can see a lot more about this terrific project here.

Hopefully There's A Trend Building Here
Photo by by Joseph Lee
Not sure how we missed this one until now.
From Joseph Lee comes word of an exhibition by the artist SheOne at Union Works in London. There are some terrific parallels to our Wooster on Spring project that we hope turns into a trend.
Union Works is a building from the 17th century that at one time was a bear baiting arena. It then became a factory and fell into disuse. It was set to be demolished yesterday (Sunday). But before that happened, a group of enterprising exhibitors got offcial access to the building and turned it over to James Choules for a week before the bulldozers moved in.
You can see a few snaps from the final day are here. The website for the project is here.
