Piece by Piece by Ami Kealoha
San Francisco graffiti often plays neglected stepchild to its cousin to the East. Piece by Piece, a documentary showing this Sunday in New York as part of Vision Fest 2005 and on July 26th at Ocularis in Brooklyn, takes an in-depth look at the writers, styles, and history of the West Coast city. From New York, the flick goes on a Canadian tour sponsored by Grind magazine and The 7th Letter.

Next: A Primer on Urban Painting
Finally! I have been waiting since January when Next: A Primer on Urban Painting premiered in Rotterdam to see it on the big screen. Pablo Aravena started making this documentary about five years ago. For the next four years he went around the world and interviewed some great graffiti artists. And in the time since they were filmed, many of them, like artists Os...

Now that we seem to have stopped arguing whether graffiti is art, we can start to enjoy some of the fine stuff collected by the folks at Beautiful Crime. The current exhibition by San Francisco artist Pure Evil chronicles how a tale of giant...

Be Here to Love Me
Like many obsessions, Margaret Brown's fascination with Townes Van Zandt began with one song. After a friend played her the folk singer's "Waiting Round to Die," she bought all the records she could get her hands on. The resulting documentary, Be Here to Love Me is the kind of work that can only come from an artist's devotion, much in the way that Townes...
