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."

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."

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.

Rio by Bastardilla
Río* from B a s t a r d i l l a on Vimeo.
The video clip above, fir the song Río (River ) by the band Aterciopelados, was created by the artist Bastardilla frame by frame through photographs with the art drawn on glass and transparent surfaces that were located in multiple locations around Bogota.
Bastardilla tells us:
"The river Bogota is the most polluted in the world and the message of this song is clear, ecological awareness and action against the Bogota River, water and environment in the world in general. The concept of the video Clip is based on the Boa, animal that according to the story of some indigenous communities the trapeze amazónico, she is the mother of water and the mother of life."

"One Line..." From Dave The Chimp
"when I make graffiti in the street I don't write my name. I developed a way to draw characters with one line, as a kind of tag that is a character and not a name. I decided to make a stop-motion animation piece of these "tags" as a way to show the movement of them being drawn. each frame was hand painted on a large sheet of paper, taped to my flatmate's bedroom wall. the final animation was shown at my solo show ("Searching For The Perfect Line") at Vicious Gallery in Hamburg, alongside the paper the animation was painted on."...

A City Renewal Project from Dan Bergeron on Vimeo.
"A large-scale, site-specific collaborative installation by fauxreel and Specter, the project focuses on the state of decay within the city, specifically examining abandoned storefronts and infrastructure that's on the verge of being erased from the cityscape. Housed inside a 4400 square foot warehouse, the project renews these dilapidated buildings as artistic monuments and documents their history amidst the gentrified frenzy of urban change."

"All City Animation Project": A Nice Little Animation By Ryan Dooley
From Ryan: "All city animation project" is a simple means of expressing our territory and our community through an itinerary of projections taking place on different walls in different zones of OUR CITY, this project requires nothing else but a plug in for the projector and the participation of the viewers who can become potential critics or musicians depending on their relative comfort and enthusiasm INSIDE their LIVING spaces. The animated film "Choo Choo" by Ryan Spring Dooley, is a surreal hand drawn film about how it is often our thoughts that project our realities onto the the barriers that compose our surroundings and how these barriers indeed well modified by media and municipal repression are always OUR OWN. Inviting Ryan to project
his film from your living room, participating as a mini site specific festival of animation, choosing from what point or window to diplay this big drawing, you become active as a critic and a PARTICIPANT ( it is strongly encouraged that the crowd improvises the soundtrack and reflects on the meaning of the film.) The simple event of projecting animation onto the walls of a neighbor or the car parked behind your
bicycle in front of your apartment, next to the grocery store, at the back of the alley or in the biggest castle in town; gives a new attention to how much of the space around you is governed by your own thought and how much is just left to nothing and nobody, an empty chair or wall that could be OURS or at least a reflection of OUR will and thought. An authority very unique and very real, let's give this away, let's hang out a bit, eat some popcorn."
Project starts in January in Milano, Febuary in Berlin, March in Dresden, April in Naples, May in Paris; June, July and August in the United States, *all films are site specific, hand drawn impressions of the city in question, the trailer on My space is a reflection of Milan, Italy?
