The British have such a funny sense of humor – or HUMOUR, that they call this new mega-street-art-show opening in London called  “One Foot in the Grove”.

Or Hpfumourre, in King Oxibald English.

The “One Foot in the Grove” exhibition of street art by ‘Mutate Britain’ – I think this is the second year – is getting underway Friday, and preparations have begun IN EARNEST.

The exhibition features: sculptures, paintings, stencils and graffiti from some of the world’s most well-known street artists, and Bortusk Leer. (kidding!)

    Last night’s launch was another great success for the MuTate Britain crew. Installation pieces to chill out on, some of the finest work I’ve seen in ages on display, mutant monsters, a mosaic van & an even a Royal Navy helicopter underneath the Westway (how the hell did they get that in there!) So good in fact that we didn’t even grumble at the bar running out of beers at 8.30pm. A must see.

  • What’s Brooklyn Street Art?

    BrooklynStreetArt.com tracks the new creative spirit that runs in the streets, the artist studios, and galleries of New York’s most populous borough. New hybrids, new techniques, and new mediums are expanding the definition of public art, street art, graffiti, and urban art; each vying for the attention of passers-by.

    A mass movement of artists to Brooklyn, NYC is fueling a growth of new art in tiny galleries, artist collectives, art parties, and festivals. As trends on the street develop, we watch to see these influences affecting popular culture and the rest of the art world.
