All Banksy enthusiasts are able to look forward to The Antics Roadshow made by Banksy himself! This coming Saturday (August 13th, 2011), the British Channel 4 will show Banksy’s incomplete guide to total anarchy, including the greatest hits of wayward behaviour, sedition and sabotage… Basically I just thought it was a good name for a TV programme and I’ve been working back from there. (Banksy) The hour-long special charts the history of behaving badly in public, from anarchists and activists to attention seeking eccentrics, presenting for example Michael Fagan talking about breaking into the Queen’s bedroom or Noel Godin, who pioneered attacking celebrities with custard pies. ...

After visiting Copenhagen a few days ago, popular propaganda artist Shepard Fairey continues his Scandinavia tour and recently arrived in Oslo. To honour the victims of the terror of July 22, his staff created a huge memorial mural at Kirkeveien 59 communicating peace in bold letters! I don’t know whether it’s good being reminded of that tragedy every single day by a huge memorial, but detached from that Shepard Fairey established with that massive paste-up mural a new attraction in the city of Oslo. ...

Some more are going to be available soon - I would be pleased with your support… ...

Next week, this year’s edition of the Living Walls street art conference is going to take place in Atlanta. Like last year, street artists from around the world will take over the streets and will in this way make the city speak… The idea behind Living Walls is to put the work of a very small subset of the population (street artists, graffiti writers, etc), people who actually interact with space, and people who spend their time in discourse about public space all under the same roof. (about Living Walls) ...

After the first edition of Tag’n’Tof, a participatory urban art installation project, last year the second edition took recently place at Confluence Gallery in Paris. As a part of the Give Me A Wall So I Can Escape festival, the French PhotoGraff Collectif (PGC) invited 100 graffiti artists to paint a paper graffiti city! For that reason, well-known graffiti artists like Saner, Sowat, Shaka, Sly2, MTO and others were able to paint the recreated streets of Belleville. The result, a massive paper and cardboard installation city looks just great… ...

When well-known Portuguese-born deconstruction artist Alexandre Farto aka Vhils visited Venice in California a short while ago, he was followed by filmmaker Carlos Gonzalez who documented his latest work… This particular piece was done in conjunction with the European Bailout Show at the Post No Bills showspace and located just on the side of the gallery. I like the footage and especially the reverse playing and the wired atmosphere. Additionally it’s always nice to see heavy machines in action to create street artworks… ...

Berlin-based street artist Mein Lieber Prost (or just Prost for short) opened his first solo-show last Thursday at Westberlin Gallery. Like me, a lot of people who know his well-known character tags and minimalistic street art sketches from Berlin’s streets, went to see whether it’s possible to bring this spontaneous works into a gallery space… The 24 hour king of street amusement, whose bold visual statements on society are a crime to miss, is happy to temporarily work within the walls of a gallery filling the space with his message by ironising and criticizing established conventions, and making a positive change. (Westberlin Gallery) ...

End of the Line presents the British edition of Meeting of Styles with its 4th event in London. This annual event has grown from 15 artists and one main wall in its first year to a full scale outdoor block party and street exhibition in 2010. Part of a global calendar of events which produce the biggest aerosol and graffiti jam in the world… Starting on Saturday, August 13th 2011 8th of October (the event was postponed due to riots in London), this year’s Meeting of Styles UK will present a street festival, block party vibe, BBQ, Beats, and Bar with about 60 aerosol artists from all over the globe painting live throughout the weekend at The Studios (Holloway Road) in London! ...

It seems the international anamorphic art scene has some new superheroes! Italian art collective Truly Design just created one of the best and most impressing anamorphic paintings I’ve ever seen… In an old factory in Turin, the crew composed of Rems182, Mach505, Ninja1 and Mauro149 showed how to use spray-paint, perspective and space to generate mind-blowing effects. This masterpiece is definitely an eye-catcher and I hope to see some more of those artworks in future! ...

Although it just slowly becomes summer in Berlin, it seems the brightest time in the year lends wings to all the creative heads around the world. Because I’m not able to write about all these fantastic urban actions and great street artworks, I give you another brief overview today… After this first mural in Copenhagen, Shepard Fairey recently did another one! Barcelona-based urban artist Zosen has a new video out called The catastrophe of postmodernism, documenting his latest installation. Looks great! ...
