Take a look at this:

I found this photo at AIArchitecht project watch, where each week some other project is featured. What you see on this photo, is University of Iowa in Iowa City, and specifically School of Art and Art History building, which was opened September 8th.

But the second I looked at this photo, I immediately though that it reminds me something I saw before. A little memory digging, and I got it - it reminds me a movie featuring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock called "The Lake House".

Street Art Festival

2007-10-02T00:33:00.000-07:00

The streets of downtown Newhall were filled with the sounds, smells and sights of an artistic renaissance Saturday as masters and novices worked side by side to create temporary masterpieces for the third annual Street Art Festival.
Inspired by traditional Italian street painting, the city of Santa Clarita's two-day outdoor festival showcases the artwork of professional chalk artists and guest participants, lined in rows along San Fernando Road for visitors to see.
The festival, taking place on five blocks closed off to traffic of San Fernando Road between Lyons Avenue and 5th Street, includes live performances by dance groups and bands, an arts and crafts area, fine arts and crafts vendors and a makeshift theater where visitors can view a series of short films hosted by the Santa Clarita Valley Film Festival.

I had to post it, as it is all over the net now:

Using LED glowsticks, flashlights, even fireworks, combined with time-lapse photography, Light graffiti artists create a unique tagging that wraps around objects dimensionally, allowing them to tag in a way they'd never be able to with spraypaint. Very cool!

Spraying with style

2007-06-24T23:12:00.000-07:00

Taken from here:

I like graffiti. I don’t mean random vandalism sprayed with abuse on houses, I mean ’spraying with style’. When there has been large construction work in the city the wood boards they put around are soon decorated. While some paint is crude and forgettable, other work has style, sends a message, shows talent. It should be kept.
Living in this village there is less style most of the time. One bridge I walk under with the dog has had a lot of random abuse sprayed in black along the concrete. Their spelling is atrocious - I don’t mean badly spelt as in cool, I mean just bad. Some years ago it had some excellent political graffiti there - the council cleaned it off unfortunately.
The above image is from another bridge we went under for the first time. There were a couple of other items sprayed but this image I liked - that image is much better than the photo suggests.
Maybe it’s my prejudices but it seems that this graffiti sits wrongly in between the two villages. Not the abuse I mentioned - I think that’s everywhere - but the better stuff. Seems that the local kids just couldn’t have the talent I suppose.

I like the picture too.

Vancouver streets art

2007-06-17T01:33:00.000-07:00

That's great! I finally found someone else besides me who cares about street art - in other words, art made through streets:

Street art is a chance to say or show directly to anyone who walks by whatever you want them to hear or see. Advertisers do it. Christians do it. You do it everyday already with your clothes, the places you frequent, the people you hang out with; these are all indirect messages sent out to the world. This is a chance to be direct.
Street art is any art developed in public spaces — that is, “in the streets” — though the term usually refers to art of an illicit nature, as opposed to government sponsored initiatives.The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, and street installations. Typically, Street Art is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art

Incoming art

2007-04-28T10:49:00.000-07:00

Isn't art great?

Art is aspiring. Art can discover itself in so many different forms. In drawings. In music. In buildings. In a poster with a cool picture creatively stuck on a tree.

I like art. I like to stumble into great things from time to time.

So, here is the Paris urban art site, with lots of drawings on the streets (I have to visit Paris! Hopefully this summer....).

And here - very cool artist, Banksy apparently he's been graffiting a lot. I like his art.

The above links were found with courtesy of great people at Gentoo Forums.

Photos at last

2007-04-25T02:09:00.000-07:00

OK, so I took my pretty decent digital camera and took a walk around streets of Tel Aviv.

I really like walking in the cities. It burns you calories, makes a quality time with people you love (especially if you both like it), and you get to see all sorts of interesting things you don't notice when you're in hurry.

So, without further due, here are the photos: Graffiti streets, Tel Aviv

If you want to see more of the art by Know Hope, you can look at his gallery on flickr

I ask everyone who has nice photos of graffiti on the streets of the world, please send me links with short descriptions of where they can be found. I'll post them here, so everyone can find them in their trips around the world.

Thanks
Have a nice day.

Know hope

2007-04-20T08:06:00.000-07:00

Recently, all over central Tel Aviv one can find a graffiti, signed by name "Know Hope". It is very interesting type of art, and unusual as well.

I did some research on a subject. It is apparently an artist, who lived for some time in US. He draws very curiously, and sometimes he even adds some poetry to his drawings.

Sometimes, both drawings and poetry is too complicated and sound philosophical, and sometimes it is well and easy understood.

In next posts I will paste few pictures of what I find, with short descriptions of where it can be found.

Bare in mind though, that this is still considered graffiti, so city authorities will clean them up as soon as they can. :-(
