On the same subject Above has created a site specific work in Haiti raising awareness of the situation from a Cuban perspective. To be honest you’d have to be living under a rock or reading the Daily Express* in the UK to not know about the plight of Haiti but its good to see street artists moved and concerned regarding the victims of this tradegy. See Above’s video here.
* The Daily Express didn’t even put Haiti on their front page on the day when it was thought 100,000 people had died – shame on them. They went with yet another exploitative Madeleine McCann story (again).
Seen In The Navajo Indian Reservation
From Maura:
“I love your blog. I have been taking photos of the street graffiti around Denver, Colorado for a year or so..mostly in my alleys around my house. I recently took a road trip home to Flagstaff, Arizona and drove through my old stomping grounds, the Navajo Indian reservation and saw these amazing wheat paste pieces on some water tanks in Grey Mountain, an all but abandoned gas station and hotel stop between Tuba City and Flagstaff. I love that they are traditional icons..the gramma and grampa herding the sheep, with the ominous coyote hidden around the corner. Good stuff. I had no idea there was a street art culture on the reservation. Hope you like the images”
Catchin’ Up With Mr. Prvrt
From Mr Prvrt:
“This is my part of a group installation with the newly formed Rochester NY-based collective Sweet Meat Co. What is pictured here is built entirely using salvaged objects, including the lighting and functional speakers. The entire installation took six people just over one month to complete. The work pictured here is my own, but more pictures from the show can be found here“
