Thanks Sal!
VINZ *Feel Free* rebuilding of Picasso’s Guernica for a New Spanish Age. Totally Crushing homage to Pablo’s masterpiece by a young artist in full stride. If in Munich, May 1 - May 5, come Andenken Gallery at Stroke Art Fair where VINZ will have 8 new originals on show. Also, Wooster Collective book by VINZ is something superior for the shelf or coffee table, designed by another wonderful Street Art duo Thundercut.
Amanda Marie is on the Wooster Collective homepage. Gettin’ some props for those big city chops. Great work Mando!
Lennard Schuurmans (once upon a time Via Via) just made some bad ass headphone designs for Urbanears (fb photo set). I just got a pair of Urbanears (extra headphone jack for you and a friend…best idea I think). Anyways, my rust colored babies are nothing compared to Mr. Schuurman’s efforts. Are you quakin crazy, these are just lights out good. Lennard is a big part of the two person show, with Olivier Vrancken called ‘Contract’ to open our new Battalion space at Pazzanistraat 17, in Westerpark on April 20th.
Dean Street And Beyond…NYC has been quite an adventure here in early to mid March. We are here of course for SCOPE Art Fair / Armory Show, but we’ve been staying in Brooklyn at the infamous Dean Street 981 . Whenever we travel we look for the craziest counter-culture spot we can find and 981 has delivered for Brooklyn. Such a glorious coupling of keen design eyes and Peter Pan inspired lost boys aesthetic this Crown Heights warehouse gem has delivered both comfort and adventure. Pictured here also are a few other highlights from our adventures here…some Killgallen style guerrilla advertising for Park Deli, and some vandalish Yoshitomo Nara drawings in friend Johnny Yerrington’s Niagra Bar.
A wonderful 5 page feature on Amanda Marie is in the new issue 21 of VNA (very nearly almost). She has the first article in the issue (interview by Jeroen Smeets) which features nice works from established names like Miss Van (cover), Rone, Faith 47 and Inkie to drop a few. Great job Mando! About 20 new small original works on paper just added to her tictail and a few new hella gorgeous large canvas pieces. These pieces are all in advance of the upcoming SCOPE Art Fair in NY, March 6 - 10th.
‘Lost Object’ piece for the new Penelope Craft space opening soon on Kerkstraat. This is the ‘softest’ and most feminin feeling of these installs I’ve made. Had a number of old spinning wheels stacked up waiting for the right moment to become part of a piece…this is a good match. Photos courtesy of Alexandra Feo.
Stills from a short scary film ‘Memory Lane’ made by Wouter Haasnoot, partially filmed at the recently retired Andenken space at De Hallen…see the trailer here.
