Artbleat

Due to artbleat towers having no direct Internet access for the next week or 2 and that I have given up trying to post via my iPhone, I will be fairly quiet for a while but will be back as soon as possible.
See you at the Guy Denning show tonight if you are in London town.

I am not sure what to expect from the Signals Beyond Punk show tonight, with the theme being more artist than art related it promises a night of surprises if nothing else. Cant wait to see Jamie Reid, Gee Vaucher and Guy Denning work hung on the same wall (hang on sounds like my house) along with some Shepard HPM's. Dale Grimshaw is painting the outside wall and I will have some photos up tonight if I make it home.

The guest list for this is now closed, however there is a lovely big window in the front of the gallery so there is nothing stopping you from popping down and giving Adam Ant a wave.
Signal Gallery

I have put some photos from the show on the artbleat flickr HERE ,enjoy.

Looking forward to catching this show NYC's Specter at Pure Evil Gallery in east London. The photo is from pure Evil's basement and below this is the press release. SPECTER SOLO SHOWPURE EVIL GALLERY 5th– 24th August 2010
Private View Thursday 5th Aug 6-9pm
Introducing Specter’s UK debut Solo show, bringing an unique portrayal of the socially marginalised, all the way from the streets of Brooklyn, New York.
Specter creates installations and street artwork displayed in abandoned buildings and forgotten spaces to draw attention to the urban situation which is the inspiration for his creative concepts.He evolves the subject matter by interlacing influences from the environment he chooses to adorn, incorporating characteristics from the surrounding neighbourhoods, architecture, local business and social economic classes; transforming the unwitting publics’ understanding of the space.
Through graffiti influence, he became obsessed with art in public spaces, where he sees potential inspiration and appropriate location to express his creativity. His aim is to deconstruct preconceived perceptions and draw attention to the neglected and less desirable issues, the non-sensational stories of the undervalued detritus of our culture we seldom hear about.
Recent works combine painting and drawing using representational and figurative aesthetics.

Invader and Pictures on walls have released a tasty bunch of new prints, they are unavailable as of tonight but don't discount some popping up again tomorrow. Best of luck.

Boon has 2 new prints available at his Big Cartel store HERE
Both prints are giclee with Starlight 11 being hand finished

I know I have been a bit slack on my posts recently and I fully aim to make amends in the next few days when I am at peace with my PC, there has been loads going on this week I need to shout about and I will.
However until then here is a nice print from 2cent.
As luck would have it the print is much better than the press release which is pasted in full under the image, while it is reasuring to know that 2Cent created this image "Using pictures and shapes as a DJ would use breaks and loops" I cant see how it helps to know that someone in the 2Cent camp expects us to believe that the said image is of "a child in Halloween make up which evokes the feeling of nostalgia growing up in an uncertain time and using simple things to escape the boredom of day to day life" but if this is your take on it then I can only apologise for playing the doubting Thomas.
Enjoy
