Title: Urban Art.
Post by: Houdini on August 21, 2006, 12:28:16 pm: A thread in honour of tc's commitment to the Urban Art of Merseyside.

Not being in Merseyside I thought I would investigate what is on public display in my neck of the woods, an area tc knows well, Hamburgshire.

(I'm having a whale of a time with both Imageshack & Photobucket, please bear with me. More will be added as and when they cooperate.)

A cut-out effort found above a pool of tramp piss on a side street off the Reeperbahn. Forlorn & curious. What could he be thinking?

(http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/6480/graffitijf0.jpg)

Not graffiti. But I imagine there could be some interesting stuff on the other side of this barrier to Herbert StraÃƒÅ¸e (Hamburgs' girl in window street). Cameras are as you would imagine forbidden here, and I thought better of trying (this time) as I didn't fancy fighting a barrel of pimps.

(http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/4398/graffiti3kw9.jpg)

This is one ass and pair of dead eyes I find hard to ignore. Ghoulish. Some prude painted over her mu-mu a while back. Good to see her lips have been restored to their former glory. Reeperbahn, naturally.

A cute stencil affair. Sumo!

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/7e464396.jpg)

What appears to be an alien. Painted on a hippy-house near Hamburgs' infamous Hafentreppe (a place to source things).

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/77a07140.jpg)

Local Bahrenfeld spraying, not far from my flat. Monsters of Rock Rave Shit, I ask ye! The Hafenklang is a run-down but excellent club on Hamburgs' Fischmarkt. An institution, and my god, LOUD!

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/67038c0e.jpg)

Perhaps the least interesting for you, but certainly interesting for Hamburg. OZ is a tagger par excellence. He claims that his tag OZ is a corruption of KZ (loose acronym for Concentration Camp). OZ has tagged Hamburg over 100 000 times, and not satisfied with this, moved onto another city, Bremen I believe, for more of the same. He was caught shoplifting spray paint and subsequently jailed. He served his time and was released only to re-offend and was caught stealing paint a second time. Back to jail for OZ. I believe he is still inside. It is incredibly hard to find any area untouched by OZ. Some of his work is exceptionally large and grandiose, often coloured psychedelically. His larger works are often rather beautiful and rarely detract from the place, unlike his tag-pissings which are ubiquitous and mindless.

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/47a60161.jpg)

A recently rebuilt rail brigde. It was graffiti-free for sometime before it was sprayed in whatnot and cleaned with acid. Recently this has appeared. A poor contribution, as you can see.

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/20826f30.jpg)

Another stencil affair. Germans are hyper-political, take little shit, and often demonstrate violently. Two years ago on Labour Day there was a full-on riot outside my old flat. It was hugely exciting to watch, and a few pigs took a total swedging from the Bambule (Germanys' Crusties). Soon after, this appeared close by. My loose translation is, When the shit hits the fan, it's best not to be there. Quite.

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/747834c4.jpg)

One Man Army: He who sparayed MSR on my manor. I look forward to crushing the fine bones of his hands with my burnished British Hi-legs should the opportunity arise.

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/75a8164e.jpg)

I've a vast collection taken over a period of 6 years. Alas my scanner is kaputt and they are mostly real photos. Personally I have no time for tagging or general spraying, it adds little if nothing to the look and feel of the metropolis. Here, many gable-ends have full size murals. Often these are quite fantastically executed. Some of the hip-hop-esque work is mindblowing. I'll do my best to show a few later.

I agree that tagging sucks. Keen to do some stencils myself, but will probably start with t-shirts.

Those children are beautiful, otherwordly, a snapshot from another monochrome age.

I'm in Berlin next weekend. I'll try to find more.

"I heart all the ghosts".

The most damning piece of graffiti I ever saw was on a wall just out of town (in Fuckenham, Norfolk: One time voted the most boring town in the UK) and, in large letters along a 10 meter section were the words: This town is FUCKED!

Post by: Houdini on August 21, 2006, 02:37:55 pm: Here is a full monty mural for your delectation. Excuse the poor piccie: it was raining at the time & I only took one shot as I had to break into a building site to take it. If I can't get in position I can't take the shot!

Note the Free OZ top left. The photo does it no favours; in the flesh it is stunning.

Post by: Pemb on August 21, 2006, 11:05:58 pm: Haven't seen that one with the Brit Shorts before, it's well cool!

If you want to see more Banksy then check out http://www.artofthestate.co.uk/Banksy/banksy.htm (http://www.artofthestate.co.uk/Banksy/banksy.htm). It's the best Banksy collection I've seen on the Internet. There's also some on his own site http://www.banksy.co.uk/ (http://www.banksy.co.uk/) and his book Wall and Piece is good as well.

If you're feeling flush then http://www.picturesonwalls.com/ (http://www.picturesonwalls.com/) sell some nice limited edition prints from Banksy and some other good artists. Don't bother looking at Shrigley's stuff though coz it's total shit.

Post by: lorentz on August 22, 2006, 01:01:43 am: Re: Banksy.

:agree: Legend... Great stencils popping up round East London... Often involving rats and businessmen in bowler hats.

Two grafitti quotes to mull over. One writ HUGE on a fence visible from the (traffic jams) on the M40 (or is it the M4?) as it inevitably snarls up coming into London -

"WHY DO I DO THIS EVERY DAY?"

Another scrawled on a skip in those mental days and months after Princess Di was killed and the nation mourned/went hysterical (depending on your opinion of her and the rest of the monarchy etc etc) for what seemed like a very long time...

"Fuck Diana"

Yes... Quite... Well there you are you see...

Post by: lorentz on August 22, 2006, 03:46:13 pm: What. Dinner and dancing? (to missappropriate Pulp Fiction...)

If you're into all things telescopic and high calibre, can thoroughly recommend Sniper Elite on PS2. Set in Berlin end of WW2/beginning of cold war. Very tactical, have to calculate for breathing, gravity and windspeed for that perfect headshot. Very satisfying and you get a matrixstyle replay of your weapon skills when you get it right. Remember - squeeze the trigger...

I wish I could blame Hip Hop but it's roots are much deeper. Haven't found any really old looking stuff on my sojourns around the city as they clean up from time to time. No swasticas here (only seen them in a Police cell, odd). But more from the 'burg:

Pretty fond of Eyestalk man, me. But the chap making a brief appearance to his right is cooler - when he's not here he's in other major cities around Europe. In the 'burg he pops out in the oddest places (propably seen 8 or so). You'll be standing in a large doorway somewhere, stretch your neck up for a rub and spot him on the ceiling, always with a shit-eating grin, sometimes with boots and a top hat.

Though the shame about tagging is that the tags are either ugly, artless, mindless, or just plain naff to cast one's eye over and live around. I think in general they are pretty disrespectful. They have an OZ there. He's crap, not a patch on the 'burgs OZ. I'll try and get some of his grander OZ's.

I blame his mother

And when you are next in Munich, wander on down to the Ostbahnhof, cross the tracks (figuratively speaking, of course, as we wouldn't want you getting burst by the 17:10 to Bolzano) and check out the Kunstpark Ost for the best collection of legally commissioned graffiti I've ever seen in one place

Post by: Houdini on August 31, 2006, 08:30:17 am: RE: MOLAR. But of course. Reminds me of a recent clever advert that played on the phenomenon of the minds' ability to recognise words just from the 1st few letters. They flashed the starting word-fragments/letters along word after word and to your amazement you're following proceedings and checkin' the meaning in real time with almost no loss in cognitive speed. It's amazing how the mind fills in the blanks so accurately. Great ad - I forget what product. A cable channel I think.

MOLAR is a bit Magic-eye-y. You gotta get innit.

(I think there is a manga-type thread a few pages back.)

Oh, and kids these days have been robbed. Modern cartoon series seem to suck. Transformers never once sucked. Terrorhawks sucked, mind. But we had some mega stuff, the 30 somethings. (I had one Transformer: the plane Thrust. Motto: My engines' roar is my enemies' song of doom!

Post by: soapy on September 01, 2006, 05:01:40 pm: rather disquieting that houdi

reminded me of the mid eighties when as a fresh faced apprentice i worked around waterloo station. there's a rather manky passage under the tracks called leake street - connects york road back throught to lower marsh; dark, stinking of piss and despairing humanity. a lot of ex servicemen and assorted dossers lived there, cheek by jowl under cardboard shelters.

it was the walls though, the orange sodium lighting throwing up scratched numbers, hundreds of thousands of them, and messages from old lags seeking perhaps long dead (in the war?) acquaintances.

a spray can(auto/hobby), held 8 to 12 " away from the wall, couple of thin passes(to limit bleed), try to avoid going outside the stencil (large border helps) unless that's a 'look' you're after - once you get the feel you should be able to stencil an A4 mono tag in about 15 seconds

I started making a few stencils a couple of months ago. First ones were copies of pieces by Banksy that I wanted to have but could only dream of owning given the prices. Have since started doing my own designs. I do mine on paper or canvas as a criminal record for vandalism would be a bit inconvenient right now!

That tutorial mentioned above seems way over the top to me. Just draw or print your design on paper or acetate and get cutting.

I use Molotow Premium paint. Seems excellent to me. I get mine from http://www.valleyofchrome.com/ (http://www.valleyofchrome.com/)

Things I'd recommend...
- Use a proper face mask. I use an activated charcoal one now after burning my lungs out the first evening I spent in the company of spray paint fumes. Ã‚Â£20 or thereabouts but worth it.
- Go Michael Jackson style. A latex glove on your non-spraying hand lets you hold tricky bits of the stencil in place without getting a good coating of paint on your skin.
- Use some spray fix to hold the stencil in place. Helps avoid underspray with detailed bits of the stencil.

I started making a few stencils a couple of months ago. First ones were copies of pieces by Banksy that I wanted to have but could only dream of owning given the prices.

good tips there Mark - how did your Banksy ripoffs come out?

First one took a few goes to get the hang of it but I'm pretty happy with what I finished up with. Bit of a primate theme.

The picture I really wanted was his Laugh Now print but with unsigned copies going for a grand and a half it prompted me to have a go at making my own. At least that way I've got something vaguely like the original image. It's on A1 paper. Now I've done a bit more I'll probably redo this on a big canvas and use the same font as on the original.

Next was a 2 part piece he did on a wall. I thought it would make a good pair of canvases. It's on two 40cmx40cm canvases.

(http://www.apeindex.com/images/MonkeyDetonator.jpg)

Other one I've done is more monkeys and more explosions. This one's 40cmx50cm.

members of the judging panel - what do you think? does andi win the lager and go down in history as one of the greatest urban artists of the 21st century?

or did he knock up this little stunt in photoshop? i wonder... if that was the case then i think we should spray him until he chokes on the fumes and then we'll get gunter von hagens to plasticize him and put him on permanent display in bolton town hall.

It qualifies, I'd say.

It was made by the Bristol based neon-light artist Richard Box who occasionally I get to work with. He collected neon strip lights from NHS hospitals and other buildings about to be gutted then placed them in formation under electricity pylons. And lo! They glow! I never saw it - I missed out.

He won a 25k art prize for his efforts.

Acetate for the boy out the window, paper for batman. Think I'll be using acetate from now on as it seems much less prone to lifting and causing underspray. Plus you can use it more than once. Paper curls up as the paint dries so you can only use each stencil once.

Leeds-born Marcus Harvey, 40 this year, hasn't been seen much since his anti-heroic antics at Sensation. It was the 11ft by 9ft portrait of Myra Hindley, remember, made out of stencilled children's handprints (and now on show in County Hall) that caused the very foundations of Burlington House to tremble and four distinguished Royal Academicians to resign their posts in disgust.

Myra Hindley's evil face inspired sick artist Marcus Harvey to paint her portrait using thousands of children's handprints,' enthused the Daily Star while box office boomed. Splattered with ink and eggs and subsequently shut behind glass, Myra appeared to exhaust Harvey's creative stamina and output for years afterwards.

No, putting canvases looks like it's pretty tricky. I decided that I'd mess it up sufficiently often that it would annoy me. Plus I'm not using canvases often enough that the savings would be much.

I've bought them from a variety of places on-line and in Sheffield, depending on what size I'm after. Pinders have a good selection at reasonable prices. There's also a place on Queens Road called something like Dunham Mill. It's a big household goods store that happens to sell canvases. Not the greatest quality but 4 quid for a 50x40cm canvas is good when you're just learning and experimenting.

Post by: Mike Tyson on September 26, 2006, 07:47:29 pm: I'm not sure if this is "Urban art", but I class it as art......... of some description.

Me and some dudes found this proper peaceful little riverbank near where we live. Its next to a church and graveyard. At first we just went down with a few BBQ's and some tinnies and chilled the hell out. After a while though, and a few doobies we started pissing about making comfy seats out of the rock from the side of the river.

Well it kinda spiralled out of control with us ending up with a full living room consisting of about 7 arm chairs, 2 custom made fires, a sofa and a living room table complete with vase and flowers and a chunk of rock that looked like a sky remote!!!!

It was class, really good fun. The best part was, and rather surprisingly, it only took about 20 minutes to make a full on arm chair. So if it rained and the river swept everything away, you simply started again. They were dead comfy as well.

Here's a view of said living room

Quote
Apparently she didn't go around alone on a motorcycle. She went in a car with her husband and a friend. Elena defends herself, admitting that much of her story was 'more poetry' than reality, but noting that most of it was still reality. I'm inclined to side with her. The pictures of Chernobyl, and what it's become, were real.

So the pictures are real, and she did go there...just for some reason she invented the whole mobike thing. Weird. But tbh, I was only really interested in the photos anyway.

Post by: Krank on January 19, 2007, 09:15:47 pm: Oh yeah check out swoon as well for top notch paistings. http://www.streetsy.com/streetsy/tag/swoon/. A good tip if you wanna get your stencils up outdoors is to spray your stencils at home so you can make them look sweet, then cut them out and paiste them up using wallpaper paiste, they last ages and the colours look better on white paper than on walls. The punishment if caught paistings is pretty much non existent (think of all the fly posters that you see for raves with a phone number for the promoter on) but i know 2 guys who got spotted spaying and followed for 2 years by the law then were busted and sent down.

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/houdini2/wine050.jpg)

I'm still trying to find something to use myself on the streets in paper - something both personal and political; I'm off the idea of using paint. Horrific habit that's really hard to pull-off (literally) w/ out feeling like a vandal; too permanent. I hate tagging culture: it really brings a place down and more often than not there's no creative attempt at all. Though there is one dude going under the moniker of FROST. His tags are generally quite large and there's an attempt at artistry in his work. I'll find some today.

I was going to pay €25 t'other day for a book collection of Hamburgs street art. Flicking through it I realised my own photo archives were bigger and better . . . so I saved my cash.

Yeah you're right British Sea Powers invented Latin, and I for one am glad they did...

Obviously Caveat Emptor is Latin. I cant say I speak the language (except "Puella est in via" which I hear was a very commonly used phrase back then going by the old latin text books) but apparently it translates to "Let the buyer beware". It just seemed an odd thing to have in a signature. Then again so is a jiving cat. The only reference I could think is a recent British Sea Power lyric.

written in clean, female calligraphy, the meaning made a funny contrast.

Unfortunately embedding seems to be blocked so you'll have to have a look at the site, pretty cool idea though. Apparently no snails were harmed in the production of the images (they vegetable based dyes).

I have a theory: because Germany lost & fascism ist absolut verboten, it has allowed fascism (in the guise of something different) to flourish unchecked in the USA and the UK. Inexorably your rights are being revoked, bit-by-bit.

I dislike the attention that goes with his work, and how it's seemingly so commercialised now - but I find much of it very clever. I am artistically useless but I enjoy the way he pokes fun at people, situations and life. I bought a book of his pictures (Wall and Peace) as a present a while back, and got another copy for myself.. some of his work is wank, but some is very clever... often the simplest is the best, I like a simple small stencil of 'official graffiti zone' on a plain white wall in Bristol, or the small 'this is not a photo opportunity' of which there are quite a few around London..

(http://farm1.static.flickr.com/44/117554999_74837e885b.jpg)

Of course, now he's selling his work, big exhibitions etc... then I guess its all in danger of disappearing up its own arsehole... but such is life..

By no means. Popped into his exhibition at a gallery on Mount Street, Mayfair. Just up from Douggie Hayward and opposite Purdey the gunsmith.

Does that make him a cunt? No but that crap on a wall just round the corner from me that someone has scrawled 'Boring' across it, does.

(http://www.bristol-street-art.co.uk/street-art-photos/welcome-to-bristol.jpg)

Quote from: http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Street-art-commissioned-73-year-old/story-16891866-detail/story.html
Those driving in and out of the city get a nice view of the piece, which sits on the wall of a house in Gable Road, Easton, near junction three.

The 73-year-old woman who owns the house told the Post she was fed up of people tagging her house with graffiti and decided she would like something more artistic.

A friend put her in touch with a graffiti artist named Jack, who lives in Stokes Croft and has previously worked with Banksy.

He came up with the idea for a "Welcome to Bristol" piece and she gave him permission to daub it on the side of her wall.

The woman, who did not want to be named, said: "I think it's absolutely wonderful.

"Lots of people have commented on it and said how brilliant it is.

"Bristol is known for its street art and this seems to really be getting people's attention.

"I'm not worried about having it on my house – it can easily be painted over again.

"I think some people are quite jealous of it!"

I was a bit pissed off because they left a roller lying on the floor, but it's a nice painting

I'll go back with some wellies to pick the roller up - only had trainers on
