“Counterculture vs Over the Counter Culture”
- STEVE OKLYN

Culture wars and Street Art go hand in hand. Not Vogue is unapologetically dressed but all the rage. And they say this is the coldest Wintour ever. Gaddafi taught me. When a counterculture has something to say about an omnipotent over the counter culture, they take it to the streets. Remember, the latest isn’t always the greatest.

Greg Mike took to his blog to announce the recent completion of his latest mural. Known for his collaborations with brands such as Freddy Jones and artists like Donnis, this time the Atlanta based artist and designer collaborated with New Belgium Brewery for a vibrant mural outside their space in the Little Five Points area of Atlanta.

I wrapped up collaboration mural with the folks from NEW BELGIUM BREWERY today in the Little 5 Points district of Atlanta. I have always been a fan of their beverages so it was great when they reached out and wanted to collaborate on a piece in my hometown. – GREG MIKE

Greg also hinted at an upcoming video depicting the process of the mural. Can’t wait to watch, until then take a closer look at images of the final piece below.

This Hialeah-born street artist has literally plastered his stickers and unique brand of art all over the streets of Miami. From Wynwood to South Beach, Miami residents know Ahol’s work like they know Britto‘s. Take a closer look at the work of Ahol Sniffs Glue below.

Protest movements usually don’t start large, they are grains of sand that can become pearls with time; why #occupywallstreet matters

Nothing tinfoil hat or crazy about that. They used to call it democracy or power of the people…we like to call it #occupywallstreet #joinus

Dear Troy Davis,

You’re not the first person that was in a less than perfect situation. Thirty years before your conviction, they would have lynched you on spot and asked questions later. In a way, you should be grateful. Four appeals and twenty years later, you are just now seeing death. That’s unheard of; especially for a black man that allegedly shot a cop in America. So, really in the final hours before your death, you shouldn’t have been counting minutes until lethal injections, you should have been counting stars that you made it this far in an institution designed to have you shaking on a cold metal platform, foamy mouthed six months after the judgment was made. Troy, you are a blessed man.

Don’t you dare hold resentment with the mother in the afterlife either! Can you really blame her? She thinks you killed her son and she waited twenty years to see you suffer like her son did, and when the time finally comes, she’s confronted with thousands of people trying to delay the situation. That little, old lady just wants peace of mind. Your ended life just so happened to be what she needed to get gain that sanity. I know you had dreams, aspirations, and hopes. Living probably was the main one, but dreams are often deferred and American dreams are often combated.
American dreams are balanced out with just as many American nightmares. Once upon a time, a mother killed her child and got away with it. Once upon a time, children were blown up in a church during Sunday school. Once upon a time, religious zealots crashed into two buildings and killed thousands of innocent people. Once upon a time, a sadistic serial killer lived to see it all. There are plenty of these grim fairy-tales and the latest is just yours, Troy. The story of the man that might have killed a cop, but got executed though it wasn’t quite solidified beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it. Well, we know your innocent, but you’re lawfully, I have to say we’re doubtful of the situation.

The scariest part of this is the ‘what if’ factor for us. The idea that a man died behind a crime he did not commit is the most horrific injustice that appeals to the selfish fear we all have in us all. If you, with thousands upon of thousands of people rallying around your last cinch efforts for freedom, couldn’t get justice; why would we expect justice to prevail for any of us given the same circumstances? If America wants you dead, you’re dead. This makes the mantra, “we are Troy Davis!” that much less a declaration of justice, but a reminder that we’re all in moral limbo to our justice system. We’re all simply just marching and chanting in purgatory, hoping (and blindly) waiting for the next sacrificed lamb.

Your family and everyone rallying in your corner could use this as a catalyst to highlight why the death penalty is probably the most barbaric type of contradiction that Americans could support and use to punish the bloody hands in our lifetime. Of course, that would be ideal, but the funny thing about time is that it heals all wounds, even the unjust ones.

I’m sure they don’t have the Internet in Heaven, but I’m even surer they do have it in Hell. Either way, don’t log onto anything. People are scared and confused, so they resort to painting this with the hand of racism, classism and nonchalance, Troy. They know not what they do. They’re just as scared that just as easily they slid the needle into your arm in the stark, white room they could be next. Why not? This is America. Which by now, I’m pretty confident is ancient Latin for ‘anything goes’. So, don’t let the short-lived ignorance fill your head with the thought that you might have been through this all in vain.

I guess, I’m writing this letter to really thank you. Thanks for making the world seem that much smaller, time seem that much faster, making America seem that much more brutal, making people (even for a second) remember that compassion and justice shouldn’t just be ideals, and thanks for showing us that bravery, unity and life is natural; it’s fear that is manufactured.

Sincerely yours,

WYSIWYG, is a site specific installation in Weimar, Germany created by visual artist Anthony Antonellis. In his previous Shapeshifters, the public paintings were slipped between the wall and the graffiti, in WYSIWYG the painting is slipped between the reflection and the reflected.

Pretty neat right? Here’s what Anthony had to say about the installation:

On Coudraystrasse in Weimar there are two modern buildings across from each other, the MFPA building and the CIB building. On the front of the MFPA is a large vector-like graphic artwork by local artist Klaus Nerlich; on the opposite side of the street the mirror-tinted glass of the CIB façade reflects back the MFPA building and Nerdlich’s image. I placed a painting directly behind one of the window panes of the CIB building; the content of the painting is the exact image of the reflection on that particular pane of glass. The image solidifies as single reflected perspective; as a painting, the work first remixes a sample of Nerlich’s work, and then is presented in a way which causes another direct interaction based on the new reflection. The glass overlay on the painting causes visual distortion which changes depending on the distance and direction from the painting, the obstacles obstructing the view, and the changes in daylight. Ultimately the work is constantly remixing that pane of glass. It simultaneously duplicated and remixes, stabilizes and distorts a reflection where each photograph or video of results in a different image of the work.

Guess who’s back with some more Good, Good lovin’? That’s right, the “leader of the love movement” himself: Danilo Zeh Palito.

Palito proceeds on his ever-continuous journey as the perpetual stroke of his paintbrush leads the way. We watch as his story is gradually defined by the evolution of his art and his art is, in turn, redefined by the evolution of his story. In recent weeks, Palito has extended his artistic embrace into the streets and galleries of Germany as well as Poland and  Spain.

Although he prefers his work to be placed within a street context, it proves equally harmonious in that of a gallery, for the visual boldness protrudes regardless. His works are an experience within themselves, standing motionless, yet engaging to he whose eyes gaze back. Beneath the paint, lives a fantasy world in which all are happily alive and intertwined; Colors, energies, and personalities merge into a simultaneous existence and breathe together as One.

Palito aligns with the ever-expansive world depicted by his paintbrush. His art has no boundaries nor does the consciousness of his passion; it is to be shared  rather than boasted. Marking his territory one street side and exhibition at a time, from Germany to Spain and currently South Korea, the omnipresent artist paints for a purpose. In this world, so diverse in man and culture, Palito paints to amalgamate.

“A wall is a very big weapon. It’s one of the nastiest things you can hit someone with.” — Banksy

Ever the prolific wordsmith, Banksy hit it on the nail, no pun intended, with the above quote. And with that said The Wynwood Walls are Miami’s best weapon. Imagine wall after wall featuring murals by the best in Street Art. Shepard Fairey, FAILE, AIKO, Ron English, Os Gemeos, Space Invader and many more artists have created walls and pieces that people the expansive visual art garden.

The Wynwood Walls is located on NW 2nd Ave in the Design District of Miami. If you’re down for Art Basel, you don’t want to miss this. They’ll be having a pop-up shop all through the weekend.

All walls are great if the roof doesn’t fall

Art is everywhere in Miami. And with Art Basel this week the city is turned out by artists and art enthusiasts worldwide. A simple trip to see a friend DJ at Awarehouse Gallery turned into a beautiful surprise quickly when we bumped into the world’s largest street level mural installation The Kohn Compound

Firstly, the beat finds us…

Then the Art takes our mind…

This the part where we go too far down the rabbit hole…
