Looking for affordable good quality art printing company, by Agent Provocateur on Aug 28, 2018 21:49:29 GMT 1, Yeah, Mark and Atom are quality and affordable.
He's done loads for me, screen and digital, very knowleable and great attention to detail... unfortunately he's sometimes let down by the art he has to work with.
I recommend.

And before anyone says anything, yes, I have my 'Heathen' membership card.

BÄST | Under/Above Dec 15, 2017, Cellar Contemporary
American culture is the culture of products. The brand and its recognizability are the keys to communicate concepts and values that qualify the product itself. This same product, is brought in the everyday life through the association to a life style, a social class, or a status symbol. The system of art acts accordingly, namely by taking back the product and uncovering the mechanism – suffice it to consider the Campbell Soup from Warhol.
For an artist of a young (not) generation, that since the beginning of its activity has always took good use of brands and consequently of what they represent, it is natural the transformation in logo of its own name, or better, of its own pseudonym. “Bäst” is word that appears for more than 15 years through Brooklyn’s streets. Behind which,an heir of posting and overlapping practices, that take to the re-inscription of the identity of the work-place, conceals itself.
A constant element of his work is the collaboration with other artists, as such in the case of the temporary installation Fly Tip Theatre, realized with Paul Insect on Bansky’s invitation . for his Dismaland, and the Deluxx Fluxx Arcade installed in the Brooklyn Museum with the collective FAILE. Bäst has also signed a collection for Marc Jacobs and works occasionally for other fashion brands, contaminating as well other creativity sectors that confine with art. In his works is not rare to find high quality fabric, patches, pallets and sequined, “withdrawals” from NIKE’s clothing, in particular from the model “Air Jordal”, inspired by the ex-NBA- champion, who is also symbol of Brooklyn .But likewise from the Blow-Pop envelopes, the candy with the chewing-gum heart, resembling Bäst’s artworks, which draw attention with their playful and irreverent aesthetic, capturing the eye and the taste, making one eager for a never-ending chew, or watch.
The massive use of objects in his works recalls the practices of the Syntetic Cubism in which, for example, the newspaper clipping obviously identifies itself with the whole newspaper, but it is also an element that works well in the composition. Likewise, in some of Bäst’s collages the stamps, the Tropicana’s juice jugs, or the “Exotica taste” deodorant for car are both a symbol and element of balance for the artwork itself. Also gives its contribution to the transversal nature of the artist the complete discretion that protects his identity: nameless, ageless. He does not want to be photographed if not from behind a raised glass that both keeps his face hidden and toast society in its whole.
He even lets puppets do those artistic gestures that complete some of his works. He is their constructor and pilot, and like a puppeteer he gives them motion and life from the ceiling beams. Artworks that realize other artworks, in the sign of the (not) randomness.
This continuous juxtaposition of compositional layers shows a narrative need, that can be translated in a research that is visible in the selected artworks for the Under/Above exhibition. The book as an object is the starting point for the editing of a catalogue of characters “typified” in their masks – accordingly, the term “persona” before rotating its meaning towards the concept of “individual, human being”, meant in old latin “mask” –, and present in the diverse environment frequented by the artist.
Some of his works are directly realized on the back of old books’ cover, as if it was the first clue to understand Bäst’s upside-down world. His bi-frontal collages are the pages of his story and represent the two astonishing sides of a reality, with a special attention and care for outsiders, the true protagonists of Bäst’s people. With a well-made remix of high and low culture, the artist gives a complete framework, manifest of his under- and above- ground lifestyle and of his orderly mess, where everything has a double, or at least right, interpretation.
How often does it happen, during the listening of a vinyl, that the b-side turns out to be richer and more complex of it’s a-side?

Biography
For more than 15 years the streets of New York and Europe became an open-air exhibition for Bäst’s artistic collages, or better, for what he calls “mutated characters” and “mutated scenes”, that have since then embellished urban metropolis’ walls. By combining images from mass culture with cartoons characters, fast food brandings, and sex advertisement he creates punk-styled wheat-pasted posters.
The artist decides to bring forward his art’s identity and to conceal himself’s and by refusing interviews, he only states: “I go to sleep with a pizza on my chest. It’s embarrassing”.
As for statement that seems almost to be an attempt of self-effacement, as if he wanted to belittle himself, but that truly belies a successful under- and above-ground career, accomplished through collaborations with great artists such as Marc Jacobs and urban collectives, such as FAILE and finally through his many projects and intriguing solo exhibitions.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Agent Provocateur on Oct 24, 2017 21:45:05 GMT 1, Hmmm yeah, wall sculptures in hand luggage piece of piss... you dodged a rubber glove! 78 Ahhh, How you enjoyed my misfortunes in the Dead Sea .....and then the tide turned 🤣 I should have said be cool 😎 , answer the questions and avoid polite chit chat trying to mask that you’res**tting yourself that they’ll find your banksy stash, and you’ll be fine. They ask where you have been and i told them Jerusalem, Dead Sea, Bethlehem. No problemo Behave like you’ve keystered a block of the wailing wall and want to know ho their afternoon has been & you’re guaranteed a visit to the interrogation room - what was the term 78? Laughing like an otter in a washing machine 😘
So true... the moral high ground was a distant dream at the lowest place on earth.
I learnt two things that weekend, firstly, building walls and oppressing people is not very nice, secondly, laughing at other peoples misfortunes will come back and bite you on the arse!
Never am I getting on the 78 bus, I'll bloody walk!
Oh, there is a third thing I learnt, Dead Sea mud smeared all over you makes your skin sooo soft.

Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by Agent Provocateur on Oct 18, 2017 9:45:22 GMT 1, ...as a general response ... ... the easy way to view the Forum and not miss anything it to view the Forum via Latest/Recent Threads ... ... that way you won't miss anything and can choose whether you want to read a Thread or Post ... (as opposed to using Latest/Recent Posts) ... it would also help to stop members creating multiple threads ... (I do not think that any Thread has been 'moved') All the people I have spoke to don't like the new set up of the Forum. Just saying. Agreed Winter I haven't got a clue why the sudden need to make people go to latest threads/posts and not keep the UAA 'Urban Art' town square as it was.
In latest threads you have to wade through loads of threads from sections you have no interest in. Deciphering whether they're sales threads, which is the majority.
Not even gone in to latest posts, why read a bunch of jumbled comments from random threads, all appearing backwards.
Always said tho Daniel Silk can do whatever he wants, it's his dictatorship.
Back on topic, like the flipping the bird sculpture, but maybe doesn't have the same resonance with people who don't know the famous landmarks photographic series.

I'd look back at the original Walled Off thread, or search for Walled Off threads... there was lots of usefull info in the original one, plus I seem to remember someone starting their own with a massive amount of useful info after they visited. Shouldn't be too hard to search for.

Paul Insect 'Reflective Minds' @ Allouche, by Agent Provocateur on Aug 17, 2017 17:26:24 GMT 1, Thread moved out of the Urban Art board? Why? A lot more people would see it there, rather than relegating it to a sub-board.
Can't we leave this in the Urban Art board Daniel Silk then move it to the PINS section after it's finished?

Paul Insect 'Reflective Minds' @ Allouche, by Agent Provocateur on Aug 17, 2017 17:16:17 GMT 1, The catalogue is available, minus prices as seems the norm nowadays!
Liking the mixture of new and older styles in 'Forbidden Mechanism'. 'Hybrid Vigour' is also quality, a textured immediacy and roughness balanced with elements of his tighter halftone pointilism... hark at me.
Another standout is 'Waiter there's eyes in my soup', combining the halftone with his other new style of bold flat colour creating a three dimentional space.
There is also a selection of this new bright 3D space style represented by 'Flowers in Pot', 'His Nose on Grey Table', 'Five Objects on a Blue Table' and a few more he's shown on his IG. Love this new style.

Sold - thanks for the harassment. Dumpster fire. , by Agent Provocateur on Aug 16, 2017 13:18:07 GMT 1, why would anyone use the global shipping program? whats the purpose? I only see it from US sellers. It is indeed a nuisance as they usually open packages/tubes and manipulate the stuff (I've had bad experiences before with thiss**t service). never really understood why sellers would use it Since when has that program been in place? What's the purpose? Ebay wants to make sure what you sold really is what you sold? Found out about it after buying some swimming trunks last week. Asked the seller to ship them asap as I'm going on vacation soonish and he tells me he has to ship them from wherever he is to Kentucky and then they would send the package to my address. What a wonderful way to slow down and make a process that is already tedious and risky (in the case of prints) even more tedious and risky. Happy I learned about thats**t program with an inexpensive pair of swimming trunks as a buyer rather than a set of 9 valuable prints as a seller...
Hope those budgie smugglers were primary and not secondary market!
