Scanning for threats

While i saw recently a strong usage on this blog from the U.S.A. i thought this is a perfect work i should publish on this blog. "Scanning for threats" is a work by austrian artist Oliver Hölzl done in Mannheim with the help of stoffwechselgallery. Hölzl sprayed keywords which the U.S. Department of Homeland Security used for checking Internet content to find terroristic and other dangers. You can find more pictures of the work here

JBAK for City Bilder

A few weeks ago the american artist collective JBAK was invited to paint a mural for CityBilder in Dresden. During the process of the wall a nice stop motion footage of the development of the wall was made. I don't like the music that much, but the pictures are great to understand how JBAK work together. Check out their blog for recent works.

Sunset

I found this work in the photostream of Vova Chernyshev from N Novgorod. It is a collabortive work of him with Artem Filatov - both from Russia. The work is located in St. Petersburg. I really like the how the drawing melts together with this old scraped wall. Beautifull sunset. If you like to read a bit more about the way the work came up check this text on the blog of Anvil Rosenkreuz. And please check the high resolution picture for more details of the work.

Jitter Jitter

Other from Montreal went to Heerlen/Netherlands to make another crazy mural. This Town is maybe the only one in netherland that collects contemporary muralism in public space. Os Gemeos did a wall in 2007 and last year the mural project Lak Aan Braak happend in this town. I guess we will see more murals growing by artists there.
