Cool Hunting
WK Interact and Obey Giant formed an alliance recently, collaborating on an exhibition called The East/West Propaganda Project, currently up in Japan at Tokyo Wonder Siteand traveling to Paris' Galerie Du Jour Agnès b next. (Sponsored by Agnès b, there's also work by the two artists up at Agnès b's Tokyo store and a clothing line and prints are available there as well.)
Playing on both the different coasts of the U.S. that each call home (WK is NYC-based and Obey operates out of LA) as well as the geographic locations of the two shows, the pair bombed Tokyo together and separately before jointly creating the massive installation.

Recognizing this, Michael DeFeo (the Flower Guy) assembled Behind the Seen, an international group show featuring rarely seen artwork not typically associated with the artists. Including work from Blek le Rat, Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Richard Hambleton, Keith Haring, Maya Hayuk,...

If you've ever spent anytime in New York's NoLita neighborhood, you may have noticed a giant deserted-looking building on the corner of Elizabeth and Spring. The building stands out because it's covered in ever-changing street art—from good old fashioned graffiti to paper paste-ups and milk crate-based sculptures. For almost 20 years it has been a place for writers to make their mark, as the...
Do you really need a white cube to show art? Is a great painting sitting on a street corner still a great painting? Can someone make something new happen in an art world where everybody has seen everything already? Steve Powers, armed with enough gallery and museum credentials to stuff a resume (he's a graffiti writer, author of The Art Of Getting Over and...
