Cool Hunting
by Ariston Anderson
Herbert Baglione is one of Brazil's most provocative exports, currently bringing his humanistic paintings to a new show in London. Baglione got his start as a street artist, painting huge figures onto the sidewalks and intersections of São Paulo throughout the '90s, but has since taken only to the galleries drawing on his street background.
His latest work, "Two Broken Knees," projects extreme human figures in a style influenced by cave paintings. The show is comprised of twenty paintings that bring to life urban textures and typography in the medium of acrylics and enamel. To Baglione, the show is a ritual in search of lost faith in urban settings throughout the world. Check out a video of Balione at work, below.

by Ariston Anderson For London street art fans, the must see-show this week is Faile's "Lost in Glimmering Shadows," as they bring their inimitable prints and paintings across the Atlantic. The art collective's London show last year, "From Brooklyn with Love," sold out instantly, and led to an invitation from the TATE Modern Gallery to invite them to paint their exterior this past May. This...
Next Friday 23 May 2008 is the opening of the Tate Modern's Long Weekend, three days and nights packed with live events and performances. Projects centering around "States of Flux," will take place in the gallery and offer spectators a chance to become participants. I am most excited about "Street Art" at the Tate Modern which opens during the Long Weekend and runs through...
Os Gemeos, our favorite identical Brazilian twin artists Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo, have many reasons to be excited about their new show, “The flowers in this garden were planted by my Grandparents.” First of all it's the duo's first solo museum show. Also, their good friend and mentor Barry McGee has previously showed at the Museum Het Domein. The twins pulled off a feat,...
Fake people in slightly off situations, intricate murals created using the city's dirt: These works were created by some of the biggest names in graffiti and contemporary art in the excellently-curated "A Conquista do Espaço: Novas Formas da Arte de Rua" (The Conquest of Space: New Forms of Street Art) currently on display in São Paulo at SESC Pinheiros and SESC Pompeia. The exhibit...
by Ariston Anderson Street artist Banksy makes breaking the rules an artform, but his current exhibit, a legal installation of over 100 pieces at Bristol's City Museum & Art Gallery is surprising even his closest followers. Playing on earlier covert stunts that targeted the Tate and MoMA, in an unusual reversal, this time the institution welcomes the anonymous artist with open arms for his...
The year was 1979. Cable television had just broken the big three television networks' stranglehold in America when Jaime Davidovich began appearing on boob tubes across New York City. Appearing every week on "The Live! Show," Davidovich developed the character Dr. Videovich, a satirical television psychologist who claimed to treat TV addiction. The show featured fake advertisements for Videovich's treatments and products as well...
