Shift: 8 Custom Be.BIKEs by Josh Rubin
Shift is an exhibition of eight custom-designed Be.BIKE bicycles by eight highly-acclaimed graffiti-influenced artists: FUTURA, HAZE, KAWS, KENJI HIRATA, MATZU MTP, MISK, SKWERM, and STASH. Each bike has been altered completely to represent the artist's vision. Shift brings together a representation of the historical expanse of street art, from the 1970s to the present. Production of each artist's edition is limited to 100 units. The exhibition will be accompanied by a video installation by REID VAN RENESSE.
The exhibition is produced in association with Dreams So Much and is located at the Supreme Trading NY Gallery at 213 N. 8th St. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn through December 23, 2004.

Banksy's Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill Video
For something as bizarrely inventive as Banksy's current installation of animatronic food, we couldn't conceive of a better video than this one that Notcot commissioned from CH pal Seth Brau. The piece is a montage of the various vignettes—hot dogs in love, chicken nuggets sipping water—cut to a twangy country soundtrack which was inspired by the music that's actually playing at the gallery. Seth's...

Cool Hunting Video Presents: Electric Windows
Bringing together 24 street artists from all over the world, Electric Windows is a semi-permanent installation of large-scale work exhibited on the exterior windows of a 19th century blanket factory in Beacon, NY. We traveled to the small town earlier this year to meet some of the artists and watch them make "urban art" in a not-so-urban setting. We also interview one of the...

Muto: An Ambiguous Animation Painted on Public Walls
Blu has created one of the most incredible stop-motion animations I've seen. Painted on walls in Buenos Aires and Baden over this past winter, the piece features a black-and-white creature that morphs into various blobby forms. Starting off as a multi-armed monster, it constantly shifts with the most consistent tropes involving head changes—from spiky to cubed to round, etc. and sometimes devouring/birthing itself. There's...

A Cyclist's View
Ever see a bicycle messenger hurling down a Manhattan street, dodging pedestrians and threading the needle between a bus and a stupid stretch Hummer? If you think it looks crazy from the safety of your cab, just imagine what it's like from the messenger's perspective. Lucas Brunelle mounted a camera to his helmet and made an incredible little video that gives you just that....

Ji Lee: Duchamp Reloaded
CH friend and Google Labs Creative Director Ji Lee is up to his public art tricks again, this time with a new project he's calling "Duchamp Reloaded." A riff on Marcel Duchamp's readymades, Lee recreates Duchamp's famed Bicycle Wheel, chaining them alongside other bikes on NYC sidewalks. Playing the concept up even more, he often positions them in front of galleries and museums where...

Papergirl Street Art Project
by Ariston Anderson When it comes to street art, it’s difficult not to reinvent the wheel. We often see the same wheatpaste graphics or stencil styles over and over. That’s why we were thrilled that our friend, Berlin artist Aisha Ronniger’s pet project, Papergirl, is starting to gain traction. Ronniger started the project in 2005 when there was still debate over whether or not to...
