Village Underground โ Christmas Bazaar, by pcant on Dec 2, 2011 21:53:17 GMT 1, For the record, this looks pretty awesome and if I were in London I'd be there. Any hope of online purchasing during or after the bazaar? Or is all the art being done and sold live and in person?

Banksy Gorilla Print Release - POW, by pcant on Dec 2, 2011 21:02:11 GMT 1, Maybe mods can answer, I can only assume that posting the name of a site that may contain malware (Chrome browser goes nuts when you try to go to a page where they've posted) without allowing the gallery/site/member a chance to respond is unfair?

Banksy Gorilla Print Release - POW, by pcant on Dec 2, 2011 20:03:50 GMT 1, WARNING>>> MALWARE from (Removed) ? I keep getting this msg when I try to go to page 5 of this thread
I notice the moderators blocked the name of the site, but I get the same message from Chrome any time I try to visit any page or thread where that gallery has posted. Chrome indicates the site is "known to harbor malware" or something like that. And if you do a Google search for that gallery name most of the posts are about malware.

Ongoing Shows / Nice places in the US, by pcant on Nov 22, 2011 22:38:26 GMT 1, In SF check out the Blek le Rat show at 941 Geary gallery, as well as whatever show's on at White Walls and Shooting Gallery (right around the corner, essentially). Plus the White Walls folks can point you in the direction of a bunch of Eine street pieces he did when he was in the city for his White Walls show earlier in the year.

Blek le Rat "60/30" in SF, by pcant on Nov 20, 2011 20:52:32 GMT 1, Or, in my case, buy a book for $70 and he stenciled a rat into it. Harder to frame, of course, but also not $800. Kidding, not going to frame it, but pretty cool regardless.

Blek le Rat "60/30" in SF, by pcant on Nov 10, 2011 11:50:24 GMT 1, If this has already been posted, I do apologize, didn't see anything so here goes:
Blek le Rat will have a show, "60/30," at 941 Geary gallery in San Francisco. Show opens Saturday, Nov. 19 and runs through Jan. 7, 2012.
The 60/30 is a reference to his 60th birthday and 30 years of work. The show promises to be "a new collection of works by Blek le Rat, the French artist credited as the Godfather of stencil art. The exhibition will be the largest show Blek has put on, and one of the most historically significant the street art community has seen," according to the press release.
More from the press release: "With no special theme, 60/30 intends to be a remastered compilation of thirty years of the art and life of Blek le Rat. The mostly larger canvases (although there will be a few smaller formats as well) talk about the people, art and events that have shaped Blekโs life. One such event is the student riots of May 1968, referenced in a large painting depicting the horse students had brought to the University of Nanterre, a political event that impressed the then 16 year old Blek. The works in the exhibition depict a variety of street arts from tango dancers to street musicians, as well as rats (the anagram of art) and ordinary people from the streets of San Francisco, the city which impressed him from his first visit in the early 70s and welcomed him like no other city in the world. Also included will be collaborations with UK-artist Hush, editions of newly published Blek le Rat: The 30 Year Anniversary Retrospective and of course the show wouldnโt be complete without canvases referring to his family and the old masters: revisited versions of da Vinciโs Last Supper, Veroneseโs Wedding At Cana or the now iconic David with Kalashnikoff inspired by Michelangelo."

Print stolen from tube after delivered, by pcant on Nov 3, 2011 20:01:10 GMT 1, It may be too late for this, but grab your camera and document everything, plus if they ripped open the tube and left it behind, there might be fingerprints on it. And yes, start hassling UPS right away. Best of luck.
