Cool Hunting
Starting next week, WK Interact is bombing Barcelona's Maxalot Gallery inside and out. His black and white figures will adorn gallery walls, doors and the street outside from 21 May–23 June 2007.
Limited screen–prints, new mixed media paintings (right) and an outdoor triptych piece will be on display. The exhibition will also feature an installation of the artist's outfit and "guerrilla gear" used when putting up his artwork throughout different cities (below right). In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see some new impromptu pieces on Barcelona's city walls since the artist was in town. Keep an eye out and let us know if you see anything.
Also, check out his recent collaboration with Kobe Bryant and Nike here along with a video of the artist in action here.

by Ariston Anderson The last time street artist Bansky did a piece in New York, it was a small painting of a cheap can of soup—his tribute to Andy Warhol—that he smuggled onto a gallery wall at the MoMa. As you might have already seen, Banksy recently put up three giant billboards in the Big Apple. All depicting the NYC mascot, one rat sports...
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...
by Ariston Anderson Like many post-industrial cities in America, a loss of factory jobs in Braddock, Pennsylvania has led to urban flight. Calling themselves Transformazium, artists Erin Harrell, Dana Bishop-Root, Ruthie Stringer and Leslie Stem along with Swoon are intent upon setting up a shop in a city that needs it most. Their goal is to "use the creative process and locally identified resources to...
by Ariston Anderson The petit Pratt graduate, Swoon has quickly climbed through the ranks of street art and has raised the bar by using art as politics. She has become a mainstay at the likes of Deitch, MoMA and the Brooklyn Museum of Art, however her latest project might be her biggest yet. With the backing of Deitch, Swoon recently launched "Swimming Cities of...
Native Londoner Giles Round creates sculptures and assemblages that resemble the confounding models of a minimalist stage set designer and his work is currently being shown at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts. Rectilinear frames evoke the woodwork of Donald Judd, twisting in space to create volumes into which he introduces monochromatic panels, lights and typographic studies. Like other minimalist artists before him, Round appropriates...
L.A.-based artist Buff Monster is doing what he does best (bubbly, mostly pink creatures and shapes) for his latest show, "The Sweetest Thing," opening next week at Culver City's Corey Helford Gallery. Influences like "heavy metal, porn, Japanese kawai culture, and ice cream" are evident in his creepy-cute compositions which often feature a character, the "Happy Squirter," made of breast-shaped parts with cherries frequently...
