Jon Reiss’s new graffiti documentary takes us waaay back in time — we’re talking prehistoric cave paintings here — but BOMB IT is far from a cut-and-dried history lesson. Reiss talks to big-time bombers across the globe, from New York graf pioneers Taki 183 and Zephyr and “Andre the Giant Has a Posse”-sticker-dude-turned-Obama-campaign-poster-designer Shepard Fairey to Brazilian twin mural artists Os Gêmeos and Barcelona fish tagger Pez. He also looks at how artists are adapting as street art becomes increasingly mainstream in the wake of being co-opted by marketing and advertising firms, video games, clothing companies, and the high-art world. You can catch a screening at the official Boston-area DVD-release party at Church, 69 Kilmarnock St, Boston | 8:30 pm | $10 | 617.236.7600 or www.futureclassic.net. Not convinced? Watch this:

Let's talk about street art, shall we? "Street art," as a term, is so broad (as is the concept it represents), and there are so many different types of street art out there that it's easy to forget that some street art - a lot of it, in fact - has a point. Sometimes that point is direct and profound, and sometimes it's open to interpretation. Consider Shepard Fairey's Progress/Obama poster, or nearly anything Banksy does. It's like thousands of open-ended messages lining the streets of your city, just waiting for you to notice them. And there's no more overt way to convey a message via street art than to use words. For today's street art fix, feast your eyes upon the word-centric images below, all from the Boston area.

Street art is fascinating enough on it’s own but, given it’s ephemeral nature, the act of photographing it is essential. And sometimes a photograph of street art, when it’s from an interesting angle or incorporates experiments with color, light, and/or contrast, is a piece of art in itself. Annie Ridlon, of Moontree Studios in Jamaica Plain, writes on her Flickr page: "In my neighborhood there's a 300 foot wall tucked away behind the train tracks, which serves as the canvas for one of the most gorgeous, ever-changing street murals I've ever beheld. It's pretty much a secret, so there's not many people who even know of its existence. The wall is in a constant state of flux. Every day new pieces are added, old paint crumbles or is intentionally destroyed, layers of tags and signs and full-blown pieces are layered on top of one another. It's an incredible riot of color and texture. It's also a testament to the creative subculture which created it, and to the ever evolving nature of art itself." Photographing the mural has become a project for Ridlon, as it has for many members of Flickr’s street art groups, who scour the streets on an unending treasure hunt for the perfect (or imperfect, which can be just as alluring) stencil or freshly wheatpasted poster. Below, a smattering of Ridlon’s photos, which she’s selling prints of on the website/crafters heaven, Etsy.     Photos by oxymephorous.We're also digging this conceptually similar, up-close photo of the Wall in Central Square, snapped by eatskisleep.  And speaking of crafting, knitgirl is injecting originality into Vancouver’s street art scene, one brightly woven cozy at a time. If Banksy spent a few afternoons hanging out with your grandmother, this might be the result, and we totally adore the concept. knitgirl’s works seem to be everywhere - poles, trees, bikes - and it’s making us want to steal the idea, pick up some knitting sticks, and spread the trend to Boston. There’s just something so friendly - not to mention more accessible - about it. Not all street art is so easily likeable - sometimes glaring tags can be offputting. knitgirl's work is like a friendly reminder that street art can be created in any medium, and in any place. After all, who hates mittens? Photos below.  Photo by Yorri¢k. Photo by REDRUM (AYS). Photo by Knightmusik.

  Happy Mental Detox week! Yeah, so Mental Detox week began on Monday and I have yet to actually turn anything off - or at least the things that AdBusters, who launched the original TV Turn-Off week (now renamed Mental Detox Week) back in 1994,
want me to. AdBusters has changed the guidelines to be both more forgiving and more
inclusive. Sign of the times: I actually (unintentionally) haven't
turned on my TV at all this week, which means if it was still plain-old
TV Turn-Off Week, I'd be all "Hey, no problem! I can go without TV easily,"
but the Internet?! Here's the thing, a job that requires staring at Snap Judgments and bus stop street art on the Internets all day + IFFB + newly downloaded episodes of My So-Called Life, which I can't believe I'm still obsessing over, via Miro + Does seeing live music count? Because I've already done that twice this week = Too Many Complications for Mental Detoxification. FAIL. Here's what AdBusters wants me to do: "Today you’re not going to listen to your iPod. You aren’t going to stare at a computer screen any more than you absolutely have to. Today you won’t worry about unanswered email, and you’re not going to login to Facebook. You’ll cut the time you spend on digital devices right down to the bone. In the evening maybe you will watch your favorite TV show for an hour, but after that you switch off, have a conversation, wash the dishes, read for a bit, and just relax. You do that for five days, and then on Friday night you make a decision to unplug completely for the whole weekend. For a couple of days you might feel like an addict in withdrawal: peevish, agitated, and distracted. But then something will happen. Your over-stimulated brain will cleanse itself. You’ll relax. You’ll feel calmer, more grounded." The fact that all of this is posted on a website (and now I'm reposting it on a blog) is sort of cloaked in irony - how are we supposed to spread the word about Mental Detox Week and actually detox at the same time? Smoke signals? Snail-mail chain letters? Don't get me wrong, Mental Detox week would be great if I could take the week off and go camping at Yosemite, gather a group of friends and a cooler of cold beverages (but no road-tripping tunes, of course!!), but I can't. I guess this is just my way of saying "Hi, My name is Caitlin, and I'm addicted to glorious, musical, visually-stimulating technology, AKA mental toxins."

THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL AND IT’S BEEN PENNED IN FLOURESCENT HUES
5 years ago
April 11, 2003 | Camille Dodero looked at how city surfaces were providing "a canvas for public expression" concerning the Iraq War.
“In the cavernous front lobby of Simmons College’s Main College Building, there’s a bathroom-graffiti-style debate unfurling on a long scroll of white paper. But this isn’t your typical girls’-school catfight — it’s a communal deliberation about the war, thrashed out in colored-pencil curlicues, fluorescent hues, and affixed appendages: a casualty list; a pencil-squiggled AMERICAN DEATH DOESN’T COUNT IN THE PERSIAN GULF;...BUSH + DICK = FUCKED crayoned in crimson. One contributor spits at all local dissenters: OUR SOLDIERS ARE OVER THERE SO YOUR YUPPY ASS CAN HAVE THE FREEDOM TO SPEAK OUT. THE GOAL IS TO GIVE THE IRAQIS THAT SAME RIGHT. IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE US, GET THE FUCK OUT. To which another has politely responded, YOUR IGNORANCE SHOWS THAT YOU ONLY GET INFORMATION FROM THE MEDIA. On the portion of the paper that’s unrolled onto the floor, there’s the slogan DYKES FOR PEACE…OUR BUSHES ARE SMARTER! accompanied by a graphic sketch. An arrow points back, CAN YOU PLEASE NOT BRING YOUR SEXUALITY INTO EVERY ISSUE?” Read Full Article

April 10, 1998 | Tom Scocca talked to The Krone Company of Illinois, who had just unveiled a new product — a fountain pen containing the “genetic essence” of Abraham Lincoln.
“Mercifully, Krone president Robert Kronenberger explains that the essence in question comes not from, say, the gory upholstery at Ford’s Theater, but from a sample of the 16th president’s hair — obtained, Kronenberger says, from a Connecticut archive holding ‘the largest hair collection in the world.’ Lincoln’s DNA, he continues, has been extracted from the sample and copied through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. ‘It is an exact copy of his DNA in every pen,’ Kronenberger says.
...
“Being submicroscopic, the DNA isn’t much to look at...Kronenberger says it’s been mixed in with tiny glass beads, so that the pen owner can at least see something glimmering in the depths of the amethyst. For that tenuous glimpse of history, Krone is charging $1650..., which gets you—along with one of the 1008 Lincoln pens being made—...and a leather-bound, 50-page book that explains how the pen was made and tells ‘unknown facts about Lincoln and his use of the pen,’ Kronenberger says. ‘Not this pen,’ he adds, ‘but the pen generically speaking.’ ”
EARTHQUAKE ETIQUETTE
20 years ago
April 8, 1988 Daniel Pearl gave out advice to readers should Boston ever be hit by an earthquake.
“Don’t talk about the earthquake while it is in progress. The topic will be discussed ad nauseum for the next two days, rest assured. Besides, it’s tough to say something quotable during a quake. The best lines (‘It’s the end — Krakatoa, Samoa, Vesuvias, Formosa, San Francisco — this is death’) have been taken, and the worst (‘Keverian must have slipped on the State House stairs’) will become stale quickly...All in all, it’s better to talk about something else. Point to your newspaper and say, ‘Look, there was another apartment fire last night.’ ”
IN TED WE TRUST
25 years ago
April 12, 1983 | Michael Gee profiled Red Sox great Ted Williams and his enduring legend.
“To a remarkable extent, Ted Williams has spent his life doing things he wanted to do, when and how he wanted. In the weak, that kind of blessing produces self-indulgence long before it produces achievement. Even in the strongest personality, pure will has a dark side, a side Williams indulged time and again. But will produces light as well, sometimes in surprising quantities and places. The Jimmy Fund exists and prospers today largely because of the efforts of Ted Williams. He didn’t just raise money, either — he sat and talked with kids who were dying, time after time. He did it, and he didn’t want anyone to know, and damned few people knew. Those were his terms, and he got them. This unqualified good sprang from the same will that produced tantrums, curses, and occasional contempt for the public...Williams gave vent to his darkest impulses as forthrightly as he did his brighter ones. And that, in the end, is why people were attracted to the show Ted Williams put on day after day for two decades as a ballplayer. The spectacle of someone forcing his own terms on the world around him is rarer by far than the sight of a home run.”

Yes, I know, I should rename this whole street art series something like "Sporadic Street Art Updates," or "Sometimes daily street art." Let's just say I'm using the term loosely. This weekend I plan on visiting my favorite street art-related spot in town: the Wall in Central Square, so I can capture some photo updates of what's going there. As I've mentioned before, the whole project began last October, when a who's who of Boston and New York-based street artists threw their stuff all over the formerly boring brick outside of Central Kitchen (and on the roof, and other how-did-they-get-there? spots). Then, inevitably, shit fell down or was spray painted over with non-interesting "0's," etc. NOW there's more art over the old art, this layer over that layer over that layer, so it's spanned beyond just a street artist's roll call - it's a concentrated statement of what's happening in cities all over the world, everyday. Here's hoping it keeps going! I don't know a ton about today's handpicked local artist, noirboston, but I'm a fan of his gold and sometimes neon, Scooby Doo zombie character-like stencils currently lining the streets of Boston with other familiar characters, like Nineta and Goldenstash, like Boston's freaky, unofficial street art mascots, greeting en route to wherever you're going. As for the non-local, Roadsworth's stuff seems to be popping everywhere, from Amsterdam, to Montreal, to Quebec, to Berlin, if Flickr is to be trusted as a location source. Roadsworth's shtick is using road markings as a base for artwork, transforming crosswalks, manhole covers, and other common city staples into statements of inspired cleverness. This is a somewhat Banksy-ish tactic that I've written about before; and the artists who do this - use pre-existing environments a the catalyst for artistic ventures - are the some of the most interesting. It's a means of changing expectations for what you might see on a daily walk - who doesn't want to stumble across art right under their feet? In Boston: noirboston

Sidenote: Any e-mail responses I've received in regards to daily street
art over the past few months have been wholly positive, however, one or
two commenters were not so happy about the fact that I use mainly
Flickr photos. Sorry dudes, I wish I could be everywhere to take my own
photos, but unfortunately I gotta be at the paper's offices at least
some of the time, and Flickr's got the best street art collection. I
always give photographers credit, but if you ever see your photo up
here and don't want it to be, shoot me an e-mail and I'll take it down
ASAP. Also, if you want to send a photo for me to use on the blog (with credit, of course), that'd be cool
too. -- Caitlin E. Curran

Obama the Giant Has A Posse
Not bad for a guy who started out making "Andre the Giant Has A Posse" stickers, eh?
Today, the campaign of Barack H. Obama unveiled its newest campaign tool -- a limited (but not too limited) edition poster of the candidate designed by Shepard Fairey, the street-art provocateur who helped popularize the idea of brand-theft/street-art/anti-marketing as a swiss-army tool of urban resistance. Let's first say this about the Barack posters: they're pretty fucking cool. The one at top was unveiled by Fairey on his own site and sold out in seconds (b&W paster pdf is available here if you want it; it's also available as a t-shirt.). The one at bottom is coming soon to an Obama online marketplace near you.
Even more remarkable is the personal thank-you note he got from Obama, in which the candidate bravely ignores the political consequences of endorsing the defacement of public property. It reads, in part:
"Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign. I am privileged to be a part of your artwork and proud to have your support."
You heard it here first: Barack Obama, the wheat-paste candidate.
Although the Andre stickers were mainly a wacky RISD sk8er-boi in-joke at first, Fairey was able to speak enough artspeak to enough critics that he was granted his own artform. The idea of promoting something that doesn't exist is now so thoroughly ingrained in the culture (and on its lampposts) that it seems impossible to imagine a world without it. Fairey proved so good at promoting imaginary, anti-concept concepts that, inevitably, he was able to get lots of actual commercial work. Later, he developed a fetish for Soviet- and other mid-century Communist propoganda -- in the process further cementing some nice critic-friendly connections between consumer culture and totalitarian rule.
Here comes the punchline. Ready?
Shepard Fairey has now made the leap from making art about political propoganda to making political propoganda.
Without naming names, we will simply pause at this juncture to recall that history has not always been kind to artists who use their aesthetic talents in the service of coercive political messaging.
Then again, Mitt Romney had a posse first.
Here is Fairey's statement, courtesy of the Obama camp:
"I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I'm delighted I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama."
We've admired Shephard's art for many years. Most recently, we jonsed severely for his MC5/White Panther Party streetwear line. But if you are the kind of person who just thought, "Shit, maybe they shouldn't be mentioning the words 'White Panther Party' and 'Barack Obama' in the same blog entry," then you understand why this whole thing is making us just a little bit uncomfortable.

We're really digging the Parisian artist C215's mosaical, stenciled portraits, which are currently gracing bleak slabs of city concrete across the globe. Stenciling is the old stand-by for street art and graffiti artists, but when it's done with a certain amount of creative vision, not to mention precision, it can be one of the more impacting methods. C215's portraits are pieced together by lines and shapes that feel like years worth of cracks or erosion, and the result is strikingly intimate, in a similar way to Swoon, but with a slightly different style. He's got a whole gigantic slew of his artwork on his MySpace, but we'll give you a sense of what we're talking about, below. We also found some local stencils worth mentioning, by an unknown artist, and - drumroll, please - there's some new art going up on the Wall in Central Square, which we've gushed about before, and was starting to look a bit tattered due to peeling wheatpasted art, and some not-so visually (but inevitable) interesting defacement. Feast your eyes on the new stuff! Not in Boston (but everywhere else: New York, Rome, etc.): C215

Yesterday's New York Times travel section had an interesting piece about graffiti and street art in Berlin. From the article: "Nearly everywhere you go, from the cafe-lined streets of Kreuzberg
to the leafy schoolyards in Grunewald, hastily drawn “tags” stream
across the sidewalk and crawl up the side of buildings, in an elaborate
zigzag of cartoonish graphics, puffy letters, photo-like wheat pastes
and bold stencils. Parts of the city look as splattered as a New York City subway car from the 1970s. And
it’s not just no-name graffiti writers who are contributing to the
visual assault. With no shortage of vacant buildings, weedy lots and
creative nomads, Berlin has become a blank canvas for graffiti artists
far and wide, turning the German capital into arguably the most
“bombed” — slang for graffiti-covered — city in Europe."
Catch the video interview with Berlin street artist Ali here, read the rest of the article here, or enjoy a collection of Berlin street art photos I've assembled below, via the Global Urban Art Pool.

Daily street art posts have been minimal lately, due to my recent absence from the office/country, but I'm back and voilà! I've brought street art pics back pour vous.
From the fifth arrondissement of Paris, Hemingway's old stomping
grounds, I've got some shots of famed figures in stencils, by the
not-so-famed artist Jef Aerosol (he's getting there,
though). Meanwhile, Boston's street art scene was vivacious as usual,
and I've got a lot to catch up on, starting with Iansanity, whose
alien-like hot dog bun heads are popping up all over Allston.

Maybe it's just my inner cynic creeping out, but Valentine's Day seems like a holiday created by greeting card companies to make everyone feel bad about themselves. Okay, that's my totally subjective (and pretty much completely false) take on it. According to Wiki, though, the first mass-produced Valentines hailed from Worcester, Mass., so apparently it's partly our (and by our, I mean the past and present residents of Massachusetts) fault: "The first mass-produced valentines of embossed paper lace were produced and sold shortly after 1847 by Esther Howland ( 1828- 1904) of Worcester, Massachusetts.... Since 2001, the Greeting Card Association has been giving an annual "Esther Howland Award for a Greeting Card Visionary.
In the second half of the twentieth century, the practice of
exchanging cards was extended to all manner of gifts in the United
States, usually from a man to a woman. Such gifts typically include roses and chocolates. In the 1980s, the diamond industry began to promote Valentine's Day as an occasion for giving jewelry." Yes, we all know about those diamond commercials, they make me want to chuck something at my television. So, in honor of the big V, here's something better to rest your eyes on - Valentine's-themed street art! In Boston (Nineta mends her broken heart):

Awesome pics by sushiesque, who also captured a heartbroken Loch Ness monster. We miss Elliott and Kurt too, Nessy. 
Not in Boston (???): Christine Autturio, my artsy, in-the-know co-worker, pointed out Skelewags, the crafty, Tim Burton-referencing street art currently decorating sewers and other unappealing city locations, by an artist called Chewy, on conceptart.org. Actually, decorate isn't even the right word, because Chewy incorporates his artwork into pre-existing structures, cracks, pipes, plants, etc. These things are not just canvases for the artwork, they're part of it. It's sort of Banksy-type thinking, that street art can be both inspired by and an improvement upon it's surroundings. Chewy's website is currently unfinished, and I wasn't able to pin down exactly what city these photos are from, via extensive Google researching, but my could-be-totally-wrong guess is somewhere in Portugal, based on this. If anyone knows for sure, help a sista out and shoot me an e-mail.      Photos by Nuno Caria.

In Boston (Allston): I wrote about Goldenstash, the famed Hanna Barbera–esque, comically seductive, unapologetically womanizing cartoon creation of a local street artist; back in September. To refresh your memory:
Now, the man behind the stache is having an art show at Herrell's, in Allston. The show opens tomorrow, with a fiesta from 7-9 pm, and the works will be on view for the next two weeks. Go check 'em out!
He's also got some sweet kicks on his Flickr page:

Not in Boston (Detroit): Swoon is an awesomely awesome street artist based in Brooklyn (looks like she's got a web page, but it's not working at the moment), but her artwork seems to be everywhere - Detroit, Paris, etc. I enjoy it's pencil-sketched feel, and seemingly perfect rendering of human contemplation:

Hi. My street art posts have been MIA for the past few weeks, and not in the good, "Paper Planes"-kinda way - sorry about that, dudes. I fell victim to newspaper deadlines, but I will neglect daily street art no longer! As a piece offering, I've got a plethora of new and fantastic street art photos and news. Let's get started. In Boston: An art show in Davis SquareThere's a graffiti-inspired art show up at 38 Cameron Gallery through February 28, and the opening reception is tonight from 7 to 9 pm. The show features works by Rene Gagnon, who "began tagging in 1985, which led to painting larger production pieces
in 1986, and was considered to be the most widely recognized graffiti
artist/tagger in the area, under the alias, SNO," and Kenji Nakayama, a Japanese-born artist now living in Boston, who is "focusing on photo realistic multi-layer stencils and capturing a
moment of my daily life, inspired by graffiti, street art, and
industrial structures." Here's a sneak preview, courtesy of 38 Cameron's website:  (Rene Gagnon) (Rene Gagnon) (Rene Gagnon) (Kenji Nakayama) (Kenji Nakayama)

In Boston (Middle East Upstairs, Cambridge):
There we were, enjoying a UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen, and the experimental, post-rock sounds of the Amherst-based instrumental band Hadoken at the Middle East Upstairs, when we spotted something on the right, above the posters for Dirty Projectors and the Most Serene Republic: a massive green and black tag boldly splashed across the red wall. "How long has that been there?" we wondered, immediately consulting bartender Matt Price, who estimated about two weeks. We had no recollection of what was there before, but Price said that, strangely, it said "ZuZu". Even though, you know, the Middle East Upstairs is not ZuZu and all. Regardless, we like it, and though it's not technically street art, since it's not so much on the street but, oh, 20 or so feet away from it, we thought it was worth posting a few flicks. Apologies for the graininess - darkness is the photographer's constant foe. [Update: The Middle East Crew say the artist is James Ovid Mustin III, star of this blurry but cool video.]    Not in Boston (Holland, The Netherlands):
