A graffiti body painting event is happening during the Under Pressure weekend in Montreal. Friday August 8th 2008 at Club Academy in Montreal.

The Death Show is an up coming Winnipeg art show that is themed with death. The opening is on August 21, doors open at 6PM. Tickets are $10.00 at the door.

Phresha has been deep in the Canadian street art scene for a decade. She has travelled all across Canada with her work and the Show & Tell Gallery are pleased to be hosting her homecoming show, featuring all new art. Also, Show & Tell Gallery will be releasing the next 2 in a series of limited edition artists prints in conjunction with the show. The artwork will be listed on the Show & Tell Gallery site after the opening.

In the first commission to use the building’s iconic river façade, and the first major public museum display of street art in London, Tate Modern presents the work of six internationally acclaimed artists whose work is intricately linked to the urban environment:

Blu from Bologna, Italy; the artist collective Faile from New York, USA; JR from Paris, France; Nunca and Os Gêmeos, both from São Paulo, Brazil and Sixeart from Barcelona, Spain.

The exhibit runs from May 23, 2008 - August 25th, 2008. For more information about this exhibit check out the Tate site

A video clip from the Cans Festival.

Mr. Brainwash or MBW is the moniker of an eccentric
French Filmmaker.

MBW has spent the last nine years attempting to make the
ultimate documentary about graffiti art. But whilst filming
many of the world’s most renowned street artists at work
MBW began putting his camera aside and making art of
his own. He has graduated from a few hand drawn stickers
to giant billboard sized paste-ups, eventually becoming
one of the most prolific street artists in California.

MBW does not fit the stereotype of your average street
vandal. His artistic process chiefly consists of throwing
random modern cultural icons into a blender and turning
it up to eleven. The results are by turns profound, provocative
and inspirational.

‘Life is beautiful’ is the first exhibition ever mounted by
Mr Brainwash. It takes place in a former Hollywood studio
complex and will feature over three hundred paintings,
sculptures and prints alongside an installation made from
100,000 shoes and a life-size re-creation of Edward Hopper’s
‘Nighthawks’.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL - OPENING RECEPTION
WHEN: Wednesday June 18th 2008 AT 7PM
WHERE: CBS Studios
Sunset and Gower, Hollywood.
