Occupy Bansky

Las tiendas de calzado Deichmann lanzaron una guerrilla bastante curiosa para promocionar su linea de tennis Fila. Aunque parezca ser hecha en la calle (como muchas campañas de este tipo), esta es sobre obras de arte -algunos trabajos del famoso artista urbano Bansky-.
Así la campaña Occupy Bansky se convierte en una campaña de guerrilla hecha sobre arte de guerrilla (o si prefieren, sobre un guerrillero).
No me encanta, pero debo admitir que nunca había visto algo así…

Street art meets street-style.

Occupy Bansky

Soviet Soldier Statue

The most hated statue in Sofia, Bulgaria has been painted in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, in solidarity with the revolution and the deadly protests in the former Soviet Republic.

It is, essentially, a gigantic bronze relief to remind the Bulgarian people about an invading Soviet forces that crushed and “liberated” the country from its a reformist uprising 45 years ago. It was previously vandalized in June 2010 when the soldiers were painted as Superman, Ronald McDonald, Santa Claus and other capitalist/pop culture American icons, captioned below in graffiti: “In step with the times!”

Luz nas Vielas: Beleza

Luz nas Vielas – por el colectivo Boa Mistura, proyecto de arte urbano participativo en Vila Brâsilandia, una de las favelas de la periferia de São Paulo. La Intervención se centra en los vecos y las vielas: callejuelas sinuosas que son las verdaderas articuladoras de la vida interna de la comunidad. Compartiendo con los moradores el proceso de transformación de su entorno…

The work of Boa Mistura is all about the love of graffiti, colour and life. This group of 5 Spanish artists is, as the name says, a good mixture. Arkoh, Derko, Pahg, Purone and Rdick have developed their work in different fields, applying both a diversity of styles and the different views of each member. Boa Mistura represents a mixture of perspectives which complement, influence and mix themselves together in order to create something better. From graffiti and mural painting, to graphic design and illustration, Boa Mistrua want to give the world its colour back. 5 heads, 10 hands, just one heart…

Faile

Si les gusta el arte urbano chéquense la propuesta de Faile. Este grupo norteamericano fusiona el comic, graffitti, y el collage con un estilo “post-pop” de muralismo de vanguardia bastante original y efectivo…

Faile is a Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil (CA) and Patrick Miller (MN). Since its inception in 1999, FAILE is known for their pioneering use of wheatpasting and stenciling in the increasingly established arena of street art, and for their explorations of duality through a fragmented style of appropriation and collage. During this time, FAILE adapted its signature mass culture-driven iconography to a wide array of media, from wooden boxes and window pallets to more traditional canvas, prints, sculptures, stencils, multimedia installation, and prayer wheels.While FAILE’s work is constructed from found visual imagery, and blurs the line between “high” and “low” culture, recent exhibitions demonstrate an emphasis on audience participation, a critique of consumerism, and the incorporation of religious media and architecture into their work.

In the words of Falie, the latest artists to hit the mural space on the corner of Houston & Bowery, Nothing Lasts Forever. Not even JR’s black & white portrait of Lakota, Dakota Nation, which has now gone the way of the murals that had previously claimed the same corner by Kenny Scharf, Shepard Fairey, Os Gemeos, and TWIST (aka Barry McGee).  The mural was not quite done when I stopped by to check on its progress yesterday, so make sure to check in with The Street Spot tomorrow when we post the finished goods!
