This show opens to the public on November 17 from 8-11pm. There will be live music from The London Police Dog Singers, Abner Preis, and a surprise guest.

Artist Bio:

The London Police started when big English geezers headed to Amsterdam in 1998 to rejuvenate the visually disappointing streets of the drug capital of the world.
The motive was to combine traveling and making art to create an amazing way of life not seen since the days of King Soloman. Known for their iconic LADS characters and precision marking TLP have been together for over 13 years and their work has graced streets and galleries in 35 countries during this time. London policemen have come and gone but founding members are still known to walk the streets of every city in the world spreading love with pens and stickers.

The current duo have managed to form a partnership more cohesive than Han Solo and Chewbacca in Star Wars and are consistently producing slick artwork that is tighter than a butlers cuff. Never be scared, don’t be a hero and let the good times roll.

Checking in on the GAIA tour – Haarlem, NL

New York Street Artist GAIA is sending missives from the road as he travels – Here’s a piece employing one of his new techniques of overlaying historical portraits on architecture evocative of their time and geography. This one of W.E.B. Dubois creates the connection between cities and peoples.

“A simple portrait of WEB Dubois juxtaposed with three brownstones from Harlem, in Haarlem, NL. the village from which the name of the New York neighborhood is derived,” says Gaia.

Woodward Gallery Presents: Lady Pink “Evolution” (Manhattan, NY)

November 1, 2011 Artists, Events, Gallery, Manhattan, NYC, Opening

Lady Pink

Lady Pink – Evolution
November 5 – December 30, 2011

Lady Pink is the first woman in graffiti based art. In her current solo exhibition “Evolution,” Lady Pink re-masters work she once created as public murals. Lady Pink muses on old lettering outlines which have evolved from three decades of writing. To the cultured eye, Lady Pink’s street tag can be identified from the period in which it was deliberately constructed. The colorful POP- surreal canvases today, have her trademark name interwoven throughout the elaborate image, as if to authenticate her mark in art history. Lady Pink’s unique personal vision has been communicated throughout her evolution from subway writer to fine artist.

Sandra Fabara, aka, Lady Pink, was born in Ecuador in 1964, raised in Queens, New York, and studied at the High School of Art & Design in Manhattan. While a student there, she met a group of graffiti artists and began writing at age fifteen. She was soon well known as the only prominent female capable of competing with the boys in the graffiti subculture. Lady Pink painted subway trains from the years 1979-1985. She appeared in theaters in the starring role of Rose in Charlie Ahearn’s 1983 film Wild Style and quickly acquired hip-hop, cult figure status. That same year, Lady Pink was featured in the landmark Graffiti exhibition at the West 57th Street Sidney Janis Gallery where she met the elite collectors of the artworld.

Lady Pink’s canvases are in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, New York and the Groningen Museum, Holland. They were featured in the major exhibitions “Art in the Streets” at the LA MOCA and “Graffiti” at the Brooklyn Museum. Lady Pink continues to mature as an artist, selling work internationally and producing ambitious murals commissioned for universities, corporations and institutions. This year, Pink’s art has also been seen on television commercials for the search engine BING.

Please join us for the opening reception Saturday, November 5, 2011 from 6-8pm

October 30, 2011 Artists, Manhattan, NYC, On the Street

FAILE DAY TWO : THE HOUSTON WALL AND A PRAYER WHEEL.

Friday was a sunny clear October day and the Faile Duo returned to the Houston Wall to complete their installation, a continual layering of the images and visual vocabulary they have developed into a language. Aided by a handful of assistants, they set out to fill in by hand painting the missing details on the hand painted and wheat pasted panels that they put up on Wednesday. It took them a month to hand paint all those panels at their studio. When that was completed they proceeded to add smaller pieces that were hand painted s well and silk screened.

Passing tourists stopped to take photos and admire the wall and ask questions while more industrious New Yorkers could only afford to take a quick glance and continue their brisk pace toward an important meeting or to the hair salon or the gym. Other Street Artists like Futura, JR and Kenny Scharf stopped by to say hello to the Faile fellas — adding to the small town feeling, one of the Patricks helped a lost mother navigate on her iPhone, as she and her child in tow taken a wrong turn. Sometimes New York feels like a quiet place, even as the traffic roars by.

Our interview with the street this week is with Brooklyn Street Art Collective, Faile.

Martha Cooper Shoots Faile on Houston

October 27, 2011 Artists, Manhattan, NYC, On the Street

The Houston Wall, a showpiece of curated Street Art in an increasingly malled and moneyed Manhattan where the uncurated stuff is getting harder to find, is once again brandishing a Brooklyn favorite, thanks to Faile’s installation yesterday. Patrick and Patrick worked methodically throughout the day and are expected to return for some hand touch ups before sealing it. With this wall, owned and curated by developer Tony Goldman, it’s anybody’s guess how long it lasts without being tagged, as Shepard Fairey and Kenny Scharf can tell you. Happily for all of us, photographer Martha Cooper caught all the action as it was going up and she makes a guest appearance today to share these excellent shots and observations with the BSA family;

Faile (photo © Martha Cooper)

“The Brooklyn collective Faile had an all-day, marathon pasting session yesterday on the Houston/Bowery wall transforming JR’s muted black and white photo into a dazzling display of color. The free-standing wall has been a favorite urban canvas since Keith Haring appropriated it in 1982. Faile hand painted their piece in their studio on multiple sheets of paper which they then pieced and pasted onto the wall. ” ~ Martha Cooper

NYC-based artist Joseph Meloy returns this November with a second helping of Vandal Expressionism, a paint-first-ask-questions-later approach to communicating through art.Dancing over the line between the abstract and the figurative, this graffiti-inflected collection continues to delve into the unconscious, pouring it out onto canvas and paper in an otherworldly yet distinctly urban visual language.

But we do hope you can join us on

Occupy Wall Street: A Month-Long Wake Up Call In the Streets

October 19, 2011 Artists, Manhattan, NYC, On the Street

Despite some clumsy attempts to draw parallels between the Tea Party protests in the summer of ’09 and the Occupy Wall Street marches that are now passing the one-month mark, the video and images have been perfectly clear. Back then we saw right wing cable hosts hard selling and health insurance companies charter-bussing as many fans as they could to rallies to give the impression that there was a populist sentiment against radical ideas like affording a doctor visit and preserving the social safety net. All we really learned is that a lot of white people are irked they have a black president. Shocking.

This autumn these motley mismatched marchers have found their voice and the directions to Wall Street on their own, creating their own media on the way. True, the Grey Lady whose eyes have clouded to marches in New York over the last decade reluctantly put down her sherry to acknowledge these people eventually. After a few weeks of relative silence the “liberal” newsies are now interviewing OWSers in Zuccotti Park and Washington Square Park and Times Square, but these people didn’t drive the story, they followed it. A pendulum has begun to swing back with a multitude of so-called leaders in tow.

The images coming during this one-month-old movement have presented at times a perplexing variety of placards and ideas, confusing boffo Biff Newsreader who relies upon a three word phrase to sum it all up before breaking for a pharmaceutical commercial. But this is New York, a land of 11 million stories and more than a hundred languages and tens of religions and the non-religious. These signs and skin colors and accents are what makes New York so stunning, so strong; and now this startlingly un-silent majority in all it’s complexity is teaching us the simple truth of just showing up. Who knows what the one big message is? These people here are the message.

Polls out at the one-month mark say New Yorkers favor the “Occupy Wall Street” marches 3 to 1. Unlike the largely monoculture Tea Party protests, it looks like our streets are primed for these conversations because we’ve been working out our extreme differences and have found constructive ways to talk to each other – without spitting on each other or on passing congressmen. This looks like direct action democracy with many visions and voices, the majority peaceful, and many a little tired from the late nights and walking. If you can come to these streets right now and say you are frightened by what you see, get your head examined. Old people. Kids. Dogs. Respectful lively debate. Does this scare someone?

Here’s another installment of photos from the developing story on the street – a panoply of faces and messages; artful, pedestrian, human.

Occupy Wall Street. October 14, 2011. According to the guy with these lavender fabric strips; The combination of red, white and blue in the American flag gives you purple. He said they are a symbol of unity in the whole country. All are invited to join, to occupy, to ask for a fair share of the country’s wealth. (photo © Jaime Rojo)

Opening reception friday October 21, 2011, 7-10 pm

New York, NY, October 7, 2011 – Munch Gallery is excited to present ‘Upside Down Frowns’ by RADICAL! The exhibition features all new works, and site-specific paintings and installations. RADICAL! was recently part of the ambitious Living Walls Albany, 2011 and has within the past three years shown in New York, Washington, D.C., Oakland, California, London, Tel Aviv, Moscow, and Basel, Switzerland. His narratives are fragments of a larger urban landscape and never intentionally political, but one cannot escape the underlying social comment that seeps through the works and the characters involved. Needles and pills are some of the reoccurring objects and they act not only as symbols of violence, but also as metaphors for a social alienation, fear and lack of communication. The artists will be present at the opening reception friday October 21, 7-10 pm.

Rania Attieh & Daniel Garcia Screen their new film “OK, Enough, Goodbye” At The MoMA (Manhattan, NYC)

Ok, Enough, Goodbye

Okay, Enough, Goodbye

2011. Lebanon/USA/UAE. Written and directed by Rania Attieh, Daniel Garcia. With Daniel Arzrouni, Nadime Attieh. Okay, Enough, Goodbye is a caustic coming-of-age story about a man pushing 40 who lives with his elderly mother. Using her complete dependence on him as an excuse, he has refrained from making a life for himself—until one day when, without warning, his mother moves to Beirut. Attieh and Garcia’s debut feature is an incisive deconstruction of manhood and a graceful meditation on inertia, loneliness, and cowardice. Winner of the Black Pearl at the 2010 Abu Dhabi Film Festival. 93 min.
