art + space + audience
Currently studying Criticism & Curatorial Practice at the Ontario College of Art & Design, focusing on funding policy, microfinance and creative intervention art. You can see my thesis work here.
I'll use Posterous to amass a collection of things around the Internet that catch my eye. Anything that warrants a more elaborate comment can be found on my website:

Anthony Lister
Anthony Lister is one of my favourite artists. I really love his superhero paintings but I'm just seeing his sculptures for the first time and they're fantastic. If you want to read more about Lister, you can visit his website or read up on FECALFACE. The point of this was to show you a new street piece of his:

Here's some other work of his:

Mark Jenkins
I find that street art, art in public space, and intervention art all have a common theme despite the diversity in their content: sometimes it takes viewers a minute to realize that they are, in fact, an audience, part of the collective experience of curiosity and discovery. Mark Jenkins is a master at exploiting this. He has completely crossed boundaries in terms of how his art can be categorized -- it's street art, art in public space, and intervention art all at the same time.

Someone needs to write a history of the global proliferation of street art.

Blek Le Rat Interview - Fecal Face
Think back to the year 1981, some of us were still pissing ourselves, or not even born. Rick Springfield was singing Jesse's Girl, Blonde was rapping to Rapture, Regan was doing some acting in the White House and Blek Le Rat was painting the streets of Paris. Unknowingly becoming one of the first pioneer stencil artist of the modern street art movement. Often overlooked by more well known media savvy stencil artists, Blek Le Rat was clearly behind many of the styles we see in the streets today. Although much of Blek's early work was in the streets of Paris, It was not long before he was traveling the globe and leaving street pieces at every stop, and he still is today. -Manuel Bello
