Next: A Primer on Urban Painting by Wendy Dembo

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 Gemeos, Delta, Kami, Sasu, Mode 2, and Dzine have broken out of the street art scene and moved into the gallery scene.

I have only seen the trailer, but I know that Aravena included interviews with art critics, collectors, DJs and other hustlers of culture to give this film more breadth and depth. Can't wait to see it.

The Next U.S. premiere will be at the Urbanworld Vibe Film Festival on 22 June 2006 at 10pm and 23 June 2006 at 12:15pm at the Loews on 34th and 8th, NYC.

Street World
The new project from Roger Gastman, Caleb Neelon and Anthony Smyrski, Street World: Urban Art and Culture from Five Continents, clocks in at nearly 400 pages of full-color images of all the street culture we knew we loved (graffiti, fashion, skateboarding, and so on) with plenty of more esoteric global happenings. Think pigeon keeping, protests, activism, drum lines, urban exploration, signage and plenty of...
Dumbo: Acts of Vandalism and Stories of Love
Word on the street is that the prolific graffiti artist Dumbo had to leave Milan for Brooklyn at the risk of arrest. The writer's tag dots lower Manhattan, around Canal on West Broadway, but in Milan it seems like he hit every single building. His recent book documents his life as a vandal, including his tags, art, actions and the like, featuring an intro...
Don't Do That!
A group show of six contemporary urban artists, "Don't Do That!" opens today, Friday, 4 May 2007, at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms. The show includes new constructivist pieces (pictured) and collages by Dutch artist Boris Tellegen (aka DELTA), a selection of paintings by pop surrealist Ron English (you may have seen his billboard interventions), new paintings by London-based artist Andrew McAttee, some of Dalek’s...
