Wooster Special Edition: Alexandre Orion Book and Hand Cut Art
We're proud to announce that the Brazilian artist Alexandre Orion is the latest artist to participate in our "Wooster Special Edition" project. Alexandre follows sold out editions from such artists as Faile, Shepard Fairey, Space Invader, BAST, and Darius and Downey.
This new "Special Edition" combines Orion's wonderful book Metabiotica (which has not, until now been distributed outside of Brazil) with a one of a kind hand-cut stencil that is in itself a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
Metabiotica is a collection of photographs of Orion's work on the street. The photographs are themselves amazing works of art and were chosen to show the very moment that people began to interact with his stenciled artworks. The result is a series of photographs that visually present the interaction between art and its environment, and contextualize Orion's work within a distinctly Brazilian cultural space.
The stencil is hand-cut by the artist and serves as a powerful document and artwork that gives a special insight and immediacy to the ephemeral world of street art. The stencil is a limited to 200 hand-made on thick eggshell color cardboard with the centerpiece of the stencil held together with strings and glue. The stencils are modeled after the actual stencils that Orion's used on the streets of Brazil to create images for the book. The 80 page book is written in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The book is divided into three sections, the first describes Orion's concept of Metabiotica with stencil images accompanying the text. The second section is photos of the stencils on the street interacting with passerby's. The final section are photos of Orion's work inside buildings and galleries.
Both the book and print are 12"x12" inches. The book is softcover in a slipcase and is 80 pages in both black and white and color.
Both the book and stencil are signed by the artist and are priced together at $275 plus shipping.
The edition is limited to 200.

Wooster Special Edition: Darius and Downey Book and DVD Bundle
The first time we heard of Darius and Downey was more than seven years ago when Swoon told us that they were huge influences on her work. We did some research into their amazing street installations and have been huge fans ever since.
We're pleased to announce today that Darius and Downey are the subjects of the latest Wooster Collective Special Edition.
"The Adventures of Darius and Downey", just released by Thames and Hudson, isn't your average street art book. It follows the artists as they work, (don't) make rent, avoid arrest, go to school, move to England, break-up, scale buildings, and ultimately redefine the street art game for the 21st century. The well-illustrated book shows them working in a wide variety of mediums. It's one of our favorite books released this year.
The film "Public Discourse", offered online for the first time, is an intimate look at a community of street artists and features the work of Swoon, Shepard Fairey, Darius Jones, Adorn and Faile among many others with a score by Brooklyn favorites, Japanther. Shot in 2003, the film is more timely today than ever before.
The film is 47 minutes long. The book is 250 pages with loads of color photos.
Together the book and film is $50 USD plus shipping and handling.

New Wooster Special Editions From DOMA and Faile
As we begin 2006, we're excited to announce a new series of "Wooster Special Editions" from two of our favorite artists collectives, DOMA in Argentina and Faile in New York City.
Over the next couple of weeks we'll be taking a limited amount of pre-orders for two new limited edition figures, both exclusive to the Wooster Collective.
First - Working with Eddi Yip's Adfunture we've produced an exclusive pink flocked version of DOMA's amazing "Astronaut Jesus" vinyl figure. We've produced only 300 of them for sale exclusively on the Wooster site. Each one is 24cm tall.
Second - Faile has taken their iconic Bunny Boy image and cast it into a 4.5 inch tall resin sculpture, with a total production run of 2000. Working with Faile, we've secured 250 of the black Bunny Boy sculptures for sale exclusively on the Wooster website.
We'll be shipping out both toys beginning the week of February 20th. But until then we'll be taking pre-orders.
Both figures are $75 USD each including shipping and handling.
If you're interested in purchasing either one of the toys, drop us an email at woostercollective@gmail.com.
Once we receive your email, we'll send you an invoice via paypal.
