Wooster Collective Interviews Legendary Photographer Jon Naar on Faith of Graffiti

Catchin' Up With Mjar: The Dalston Bust Depot
From Mjar in London:
"Back in June 2005 a group of street / graffiti artists took over the walls of an abandoned East London bus depot/ crack den in Dalston. We were there and took a bunch of photographs.
Having just recently found the pictures again on a disk after a spring clean last week, we have put some of them together in this clip. This is out first upload to Youtube and we haven't worked out the best size, format to ensure it looks its best so watch the video in HD if you have a fast web connection. But is is good to be able to share them online, as we had believed they were forever lost via a stolen computer of ours.
Photos feature the works of some talented artists and friends including What Collective (Richt, Gumbo, Oath and 45RPM) , Dave The Chimp, PMH, Busk, Blam, Showchicken, mjar, Sri, Thought Police, Skire, Adam Neate, Jerm, Herse, Fybe, Probs, Pheks and Ink Fetish to name a few."

Blu's Sketchbook
In February of 2006, Sara and I traveled through Italy leading up to attending the Winter Olympics in Torino. As we often do when we travel, we posted a note on the Wooster website saying that we'd love to meet up with local artists in Milan, Florence, and Rome.
On February 9th, when we arrived in Milan, we posted a note on the site letting people know that we'd all be meeting at the statue in the Piazza Duomo. We had no idea who - and how many - people would show up.
It turned out to be an amazing evening. Amongst the twenty-five or so people who joined us was Blu. He had traveled by train from his hometown in Bologna earlier that morning. It was the first time we had ever met Blu, and Sara and I were delighted that he had come all the way just to see us.
At the end of the night, Blu handed us a small wooden box. He told us that inside was one of his sketchbooks. He said that each week he did a new sketchbook and that he wanted us to have the one he had just completed. Sara and I were blown away by his thoughtfulness and ever since it's been one of our favorite gifts. Not just for the wonderful drawings inside but for the intimacy of the gift itself.
The other week Blu came over for dinner and we showed a few friends the sketchbook. It occurred to us that because it's a book in a box and not something to hang on a wall, very few people will actually get to see it. So this morning Sara and I did a short video "tour" of the book. We hope you like it as much as we do....

Shit We're Diggin': Chris O'Shea's "Hand From Above"
Hand from Above from Chris O'Shea on Vimeo.
"Chris O'Shea's Hand From Above encourages us to question our normal routine when we often find ourselves rushing from one destination to another. Inspired by Land of the Giants and Goliath, we are reminded of mythical stories by mischievously unleashing a giant hand from the BBC Big Screen. Passers by will be playfully transformed. What if humans weren’t on top of the food chain?
Unsuspecting pedestrians will be tickled, stretched, flicked or removed entirely in real-time by a giant deity.
Hand from Above is a joint co-commission between FACT: Foundation for Art & Creative Technology and Liverpool City Council for BBC Big Screen Liverpool and the Live Sites Network. It premiered during the inaugural Abandon Normal Devices Festival."

Brenden Bells Five ( Dramatic Pauses )
Five ( Dramatic Pauses ) from Brendan Bell on Vimeo.
Artist Statement:
"We let the television news into the perceived safety of our lives on a daily basis. Even without direct contact, the language of the medium connects with us via background noise, internet blips, and watercooler small-talk. It has a distinct, and often overlooked, authority over the way we think and feel.
The nightly half-hour national news format attempts to condense the state of the world into easily digestible soundbites. My intention is to release these soundbites, inherent powers intact, realign them and force them to interact in unintended ways.
For seven months, I watched NBC Nightly News, recording phrases that piqued my interest. I focused on this single media outlet to give the project a specific voice and began reconfiguring the phrases into what can best be described as collage poems. Poetry, like the news media, uses evocative language to provide insight into the inner workings of the world. However, poetry allows subtleties and subtext to take center stage. The resulting collage poems highlight the ambiguous spaces between language and life, exposing the vagaries of the ostensibly concrete world around us.
The term (Dramatic Pause) implies a brief deviation from an intended script, or a small crack in real time, where things that are normally hidden become visible. It is based on instructions written for news broadcasters on their teleprompters."

"I would rather you hate me than ignore me"
For many years we've been fascinated by Pixação. There's an energy in the tags that's undeniable and, for us, extremely powerful.
But to be honest, we've never fully understood the nuances of Pixação and in some ways become comfortable with it.
And then today we came across a terrific video from Cool Hunting that in some ways is a "Pixação 101"
There's a great line in the video that for us, struck a strong chord:
"I would rather you hate me than ignore me"

"TACIT"
Beat13 / Lucy McLauchlan "Tacit" from Beat13 on Vimeo.
From Matt Watkins: "Lucy and I made a short film which follows us gathering urban detritus and it's re-installation at the "Outsiders" show at Walsall Art gallery last December. We made the music using a 'borrowed' piano modified with found nuts, bolts and erasers and combined with a circuit bent broken radio. I hope you enjoy watching it"

"Chemical Warfare Project" Phase 1
Every day for the last eight months, Eric Pakurar has been taking a photo of one specific door on Greene St in Manhattan to assemble into a time-lapse movie of how the graffiti and street art builds over time. Eric tells us: "I like to think I'm documenting a sort of collaborative art project -- lots of different contributions continually adding to a living work of art."
Eric is now looking to acknowledge all the different individual artists who have added to the door over that time and is hoping that people will "crowdsource" the names of the artists on his Flickr page here.

LIFE IS A BRIDGE
From 2501:
"Italy it's going through a weird moment right now,everyday we suffer more and more restrictions upon our personal liberty. Berlusconi "the King" of our Republic is eating up the city of Milan beat by beat. Since 2000 squats and populist cultural centers have been the homes of myself and many other like minded artist. In march 2006 24 people were arrested were trying to put a stop to a fascist demonstration. They were convicted of in-sighting a riot and were forced to serve 9 months of a 4 years prison sentence. Meanwhile, the violent and ruthless actions of Italian cops operating at the G8 summit have continued to go unpunished. In september 2008 Valentina a young artist with no previous criminal record that was among the 24 accused of rioting died tragically in a car accident. She was only 26 years old; the stop lights at that intersection were out of order. The city of Milan is devoting its resources to a private war against free and ungoverned cultural spaces, funneling money away from public services.
This video is a tribute to Valentina and to everyone who still resists."

The La Entrada Project
La Entrada Project - Wall1 from geraluzlove on Vimeo.
"La Entrada is a collaborative art project of public art in personal spaces. Infused as murals and art workshops throughout the new landscape rising in San Diego California. The project actively cultivates culture in the community and is a reflection of social change. The core mural pieces are embedded on the new architectural development of affordable income housing in Logan Heights. La Entrada's design have a meaningful approach that speaks with the people's language; the imagery becomes cultural tools of social engagement and in its stories of experiences move and circulate as positive information which become vehicles for connections within the community."

Ryan Dooley's All City Animation Project
all city animation project, video 1, Milano
From Ryan Spring Dooley:
"I just finished the first of my all city animation projects, an 850 drawing long film looking at Milan and trying to capture it's current spirit, a bit broken. The film touches on recent repression in Milan, Italy and some hopeful ways around it, check out the final cut, it has been projected in neighborhoods highly affected by recent
re-gentrification and cultural cleansing. many underground venues and occupied houses, artists cooperatives and unique local institutions have been literally destroyed in preparation for the 2015 worlds fair. Local governments are boasting about having expelled 1300 people of color in recent months using military and police in a way never expected from a contemporary democracy. If there is anyone interested in the current situation in italy, please consult the website of a historic cultural site painted by Blu, being forced to close by police, http://cox18.noblogs.org/

A Shepard Fairey Primer From USA Network
Among the accolades Shepard Fairey has been receiving recently is "Character Approved" a new award from USA Network that honors leading innovators who are shaping American Culture.
For the awards, Henry Alex Rubin (the director of Murderball) has put together a fantastic five minute vignette about Shepard that is, for us, one of the most informative "Shepard Fairey 101's" we've yet seen.
Ever wonder why Shepard uses only red and black in his images?
Watch the video.
In addition to Shepard, USA Network is also honoring Lupe Fiasco, Shepard Fairey, David Chang, Patrick Robinson, Charles Best, Jimmy Wales and Jennifer Siegal. Click here to watch the rest of the videos. They're all terrific.
