Next to doing an exhibition we had some time to do streetart in Vienna. Unfortunately all my photo’s got deleted but i could recover these three….First one is at the Naschmarkt, second one at U-bahn Pilgramgasse..

This June we were in Paris. Next to helping my homeboy Jur D-light i had some time left to do some streetart.

Simultaneously with the kunsttour i took part in this exhibition. For this one i made a mural (detail shots below) and the first half of a double piece that featured in both Breda and in Maastricht. I was thinking a lot about the position of the human in current society and how the enormous inflation makes people be more on the lookout for “number 1″. Its some serious things which i tried to incorporate in the themes for both exhibitions.

Its hard for me not to paint…

Again we painted a mural at the kijkdoos project in Vlissingen. The Senser organisation keeps rocking this old hotel on the boulevard hotspot. Participants include gek, superA, zedz and many more. This photo is a detail of the giant wall i did. For more info check: www.senser.nl

…FROM THE STREET ON UP! CONTEMPORARY STREETART

DONDERDAG 28 FEBRUARI in VILLA NUTS

..FROM THE STREET ON UP! CONTEMPORARY STREETART

Met de expositie “…from the street on up!” presenteert curator Joseph Kosir (Dirty Brown Visuals) een integer en realistisch overzicht van dit hedendaagse cultuurfenomeen.
Streetart is een beweging ontstaan uit een kruisbestuiving tussen graffiti en politiek activisme en maakt onder andere gebruik van agressieve reclame technieken om haar boodschap te verspreiden.

Binnen de hedendaagse kunst wordt op dit moment regelmatig aandacht besteed aan de streetart als beweging en als kunststroming. Daarbij wordt echter vaak alleen aandacht besteed aan het illustratieve element en worden de politieke en actieve street elementen vergeten. Met een brede line-up van (internationale) streetartists laten wij zien “Whats for real!”.

In “…from the street on up!” wordt vooral de credible streetart belicht alsmede de exponenten in fashion en illustratie die deze energieke kunststroming teweeg heeft gebracht.

Together with the lastplakkies i did a show at a streetart oriented gallery in Wien. Inoperable Gallery, ran by Nick Ganz is a small but nice gallery with a small shop close to the Mariahilferstrasse. You can check them out here.
On the bottom foto here together with acab and other plakkies:

We keep on hijacking the Rotterdam advertising signs. Its very fun. And easy.

This is in the Mauritsstraat in Rotterdam somewhere end of the summer 2007.

So..i got bored n went out to do some posters in Rotterdam.

Acrylics and ink on magazine paper. sept 9 2007.

I started doing these shapes out of board and stick them with industrial sprayglue.

The results made me very happy/sticky. I did these in aug/sept 2007. First one is close to

the Van Nelle fabriek, second one is in West, third is behind WitteDeWithstraat.

This is the second mural i did at the Kijkdoos hotel project in Vlissingen. The sun was shining like crazy that day and this hotel is next to the beach….just LOVELY!

In vlissingen the organisation “SENSER” was given a HUGE hotel on the boulevard next to the beach. The idea is to invite people from the graffiti and streetart scene to completely fill the outside of the building with art. Some of the participants are: casrock, zedz, maclaim, booyabase, super-a, gek. You can check out kijkdoos here. They have a nice gallery there.

People were looking too grim in my neighbourhood.

I figured that a smile never hurt anyone.

materials: balloon, posca marker, iron wire.

Here i hung a work in the park under the monorail in the

center of the city renowned for its public art.

Tachikawa on a nice Japanese summer day somewhere in july 2006.

This is a 3d-piece i did in the center of Rotterdam (eendrachtsplein)

in 2006. After i took the pictures i left the work there. It was there for

less then a week. Materials: MDF, acrylic paints, ink, staples.

This is at the “Motel Insomnia” the old ship-woodworkshop in Vlissingen/Zeeland.

Acrylics on paper from a “shonen jump” mag.

Independant filmmaker Irene van der Top (yes…from the samim-heater violin remix) asked us to feature as actors in her new short film project “ID-CASTING”. Since i got to run around with a mini camera attached to my head attached to a dv recorder in my backback i said HELL YEAH! immediately… The film was shown at several occasions and also on the ShootMe Film Festival 2007. You should be able to check her movie out HERE or on my youtube channel.
