Trespass: A History of Uncommissioned Urban Art

Last Tuesday Woostercollective’s book Trespass: A History of Uncomissioned Urban Art had it’s official book launch at the Taschen store in Paris.

“Trespass: A History of Uncommissioned Urban Art” is a new TASCHEN book about the history of graffiti and unsanctioned art, written by Carlo McCormick of Paper Magazine, curated by Marc and Sara Schiller of Wooster Collective and edited by Ethel Seno that comes out in September and is now available for pre-order.

 

I’m really into  Taschen’s books, especially the one’s about both art and street art.I’ve never been to Paris but if I had the chance one day, will definitely visit Taschen’s flagship store. Below you can see the store’s inside and have an opinion. 


Back to the event…During the event - a few lucky bastards- had chance to see new artworks from a range of creative French artists including Blek La Rat, INVADER, JR,Zevs and Alexone.

You may recognize INVADER from Banksy’s latest movie ( which I had the chance to watch it on Istanbul Movie Festival and wrote a review how I missed the premiere in London) Exit Through the Gift Shop. By the way he is the cousin of movie’s hidden superstar Mr.Brainwash.

INVADER

Here is a video introduction to Trespass: A History of Uncommissioned Urban Art featuring interviews by Marc and Sara Schiller (Wooster Collective) Carlo McCormick, WK Interact, Anne Pasternak, Martha Cooper.

ai weiwei: sunflower seeds at the tate modern

I really don’t get what’s happening in ai weiwei ’s mind but the result is just -Brilliant! He has filled the museum’s hall with millions of life-size (yeah,right) sunflowers which are made of porcelain. This installation encourages visitors to touch and walk on the carpet of tiny replicates. Oh I definitely want to walk on these things…

1930 Art Deco Henderson

The bike belongs to Frank Westfall from Syracuse, NY and the bike was originally built by O. Ray Courtney in 1936 and is based on a 1930 K.J Henderson. Darn this is so cool !!

Formal monday / creative monday

Darth Vader doesn’t wake up at 7pm but I do. Infact, I get used to it and embrace the good old monday. Don’t fight back, this may lead you to something dark and scary. Instead of yelling to the mighty one put some great music on and brew coffee. Thats what I do… try Dee Edwards- why there can’t be love..you may recognize it from adidas commercial. Personally think that it fits great on a tarantino movie anway…let the week begin.

Oh, it’s so quiet. Probably one of the best monday mornings I’ve ever had in a long time. First I ran about 3 km ( ok let’s call it jogging ) and then sat down by the sea with the company of some seaguls. After giving myself to the sounds of waves head up to market to get orange-carrot juice mix— wicked—this may be the last monday morning as a “free” man so why shouldnt i have a good time by myself  “dont stop me now, ‘coz im having a good time” as queen says :) cheer up Istanbul, everythings gonna be fine…
