BSA Special Feature: ETHEREA: Edoardo Tresoldi

Neoclassical. Baroque. Chicken wire.

Italian public artist Edoardo Tresoldi brought 3 sizes of his full-scale wire mesh sculptures to Indio, California for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this year, and thousands of people got their first opportunity to see his work rise above them, catching the light, evoking old cities and classical architecture. Counter-culture? Nah.

Berlin Mural Fest 2018 Begins Now!

Die Dixons actually know what they are talking about! This is the 1st Berlin Mural Fest and BSA is happy to support.  Shout out to Don Stone for keeping us in the loop.

 

XAV -Library Rats in Barcelona

We showed you the process photos of this wall a few weeks ago in 3 Library Rats from XAV for Contorno Urbano 12 + 1.

Today we have the video for you.

 

Blek Le Rat Solo in San Francisco.

Long after the days when gallerists were rude to him and wouldn’t even take a look at his work in New York, Street Art originator Blek Le Rat is having a solo show at Weinstein Gallery in San Francisco. Something must have changed.

Acabat de pintar.

In an ironic repositioning of an otherwise purposeful phrase, artist TAYONE creates a large “Wet Paint” sign on the ever changing community mural project called 12+1 in Barcelona.

A fan of decontextualization in perhaps a similar manner to conceptual Street Artists +MaisMenos- or Biancoshock, TAYONE says that his ironic use of the mural space is a play on the messaging in public space and the temporary qualities of sufaces that get buffed, readied for the next intervention.

“Starting from this premise,” he says, “as well as the phenomenon of graffiti erasure that entails a very powerful but sometimes involuntary plastic change, my intervention proposes to decontextualize the newly painted phrase, elevating it to artistic intervention as a rupture and continuity of the cycle.”

Yes, it’s funny. It’s also a way to reconsider the common signage and directives that can become invisible in daily life.
