Do you remember the photo-series I took of Australian graffiti artist Matt Adnate, when he painted new works for his Berlin solo-show? Last week, he finally opened the show at Box32 Gallery, simply entitled Point of View, and of-course I joined the party together with some friends and - in addition to some good drinks - took some quick photos… I’ve seen a lot of different faces in my travels of the past 6 months. From the eyes of kids that have lived the lives of adults in India, to people losing there faces in clubs in Berlin. ‘Point of View’ seemed like the perfect title for my show, as all of the faces in the show are my interpretations of people I’ve recently seen and met. (Adnate) ...

The Spanish urban art collective Boa Mistura (consisting of the five artists Arkoh, Derko, Pahg, Purone and Rdick) just informed me about their latest installation: Entitled Planned Obsolescence the TV installation combines outdated technology with stencil art and reminds me somehow on one of these old-school electro clubs in Berlin… However, I liked it, especially because it again shows the diversity of Boa Mistura, who want to represent a mixture of perspectives which complement, influence and mix themselves together in order to create something better. (about Boa Mistura). ...

Sydney City Council has been accused of vandalism after visiting American artist Barry McGee has controversially painted the wrong wall! As I just read on Yahoo News (thanks to Skalitzers for the link!), McGee painted a wall by mistake when he visited Sydney for the Art & About festival that takes art out of the gallery setting and into the streets: Critics are claiming Barry McGee’s artwork is glorified vandalism. The art community supports the work saying taste in art is personal. ...

I joined the preparations was able to give you some nice insights… ...

For a few weeks I have a nice new contact over in London. Her name is Petra Valenti, she is a talented photographer (check out her latest works on tumblr!) and knows the local street art and graffiti scene quite well, for what reason she will be some kind of a roving reporter for Urbanartcore in future. The first of her photo-series I’d like to show you is the documentary of the new Big Fish Eat Small Fish mural by Italian painter and street artist Gionata Gesi aka Ozmo which was done during the last days! Again he used his well-known illustrative collage-style to create a new, astonishing painting. In my eyes, the result is just fantastic, clean and a real eye-catcher as is Petra’s photo-documentary… ...

During the last week, well-known French graffiti artist Blo, who is a member of the famous Da Mental Vaporz (DMV) crew, painted a huge new black-and-white mural in Berlin! After Caleb Neelon’s wall and the painting by Victor Ash, this is the third part of Berlin’s Wedding Walls mural art project. In my eyes, this monochromatic, 25 meters high piece totally works out with the old-school Berlin wall color (some kind of light beige-shit-brown) and is a new attraction in Berlin’s north! ...

I have a foible for maps in general - you should know that since I posted about the map cuts by Karen O’Leary or the worldwide subway map source - for what reason I was delighted when I recently found the transamerican map artworks by Matthew Cusick. Matthew creates mainly portraits by cutting and pasting together snippets of physical maps! The results look just great and I’m really wondering how many maps he already utilized… ...

Do you remember that dope exhibition by London-based urban artist Word To Mother at Stolen Space Gallery in 2010? If not, you’ll soon get the chance to see some new works by the talented British lad, because Word To Mother is preparing his next show at Stolen Space Gallery, entitled Essence Of Adolescence right now! My friend Ian Cox recently visited his studio and took some first photos of the new artworks. Make sure to save the date… ...

When I stumbled upon the huge new mural by Manolis Anastasakos and the Kretsis crew in Athens two days ago, I was highly impressed - and not just me! For example on Facebook, the Albrecht Dürer inspired 600m² (!) mural with the catchy name He, is praying for us, got about 370 likes within two days, for what reason I can’t ignore it anymore and have to post about the great upside down version of Dürer’s Praying Hands, Manolis and his friends created in the last days… ...

Unfortunately I didn’t found enough time to write in the last days - I rather enjoyed this year’s probably last sunny summer days - for what reason I again give a brief overview about what happened in the international urban art scene during the last couple of days… Saber did a fantastic typographic, aerial attack on downtown Los Angeles by writing into the sky! Remember: Art is not a crime, but Los Angeles would like you to think it is! ...
