Troy Lovegates AKA Other “Back Talk” Conversation
July 26, 2011
Artists
To introduce readers to some of the Street Artists in the upcoming show “Street Art Saved My Life: 39 New York Stories”, BSA asked a number of the artists to take part in “Back Talk” with one of our most trusted and underground and sweet sources for modern art, Juxtapoz.
Today we hear from Troy Lovegates AKA Other.
The moment you realized you were an ‘artist’: “I immediately went out and bought a beret and a bottle of cheap wine and got drunk, smashed my whole apartment and went to my girlfriends place but she was sleeping with another man. So I went down to the docks and cried…then made a real good painting about it.”

HUSH Exclusive VIDEO with HeraKut
July 23, 2011
Artists
Street Artist Hush offers his own venue in Newcastle Upon Tyne for Street Artists to come in and lay down some paint, away from the street and apart from the financial implications of a gallery show. This new video interview with Street Art duo Herakut gives for the first time a genuine sense of their working relationship and approach to their pieces.
Says Hush, “The idea I had for this space is to give the artists an opportunity to create street work inside and in a controlled environment. The space allows artists to experiment and continue with a street aesthetic without having to produce canvas work for the public to view.”
Director: Brad Atwill
Cinematography : Tom Finch

It’s a hot sticky Saturday in New York. Perfect time to open up that fire hydrant and let the kids run through it 500 times and wash down your Black ’71 Dodge Challenger and crank the Led Zepplin! 
Better yet, see if your sister will let you borrow that Fender guitar that she guards like it belonged to Jimmy Page, and play some power chords yourself.
Here’s a mashup rendition of “Black Dog” by over 80 amateur talents from all over the internet.
Rock ON!

The Pantheon Catalog Release Party: Saturday in Brooklyn
About a year ago Daniel Feral told us about this idea he had for a show at the Donnell Library across from MOMA to draw attention to the history of graff and Street Art in New York. It seemed like a pretty vast undertaking at the time, and in fact, the project gradually and quickly ballooned and incorporated much of the community and helped capture this moment in history as well as give perspective to the evolution that preceded it. With partner Joyce Manolo and a cast of hundreds, Mr. Feral has taken a deep dive and produced a tome that will be used for reference for years to come, along with his own diagrammatic explanation of the evolution of Graffiti and Street Art in the context of other 20th Century art movements.
This 426-page catalog is a hybrid of scholarly journal, popular magazine, and graff zine. 33 artists from the 1970s through today tell their own histories, in their own words and pictures, while local writers and photographers give an overview of the cultural milieu. The catalog includes a dedication to Rammellzee by Charlie Ahearn, essay on the Feral Diagram by Daniel Feral, and Street Art in the 2000s by Steven P. Harrington with photographs by Jaime Rojo, in addition to 20 essays, 20 interviews and over 400 images from the efforts of over 30 individuals.
Date: Saturday, July 23, 2011 6-8PM (RSVP Only)
Where: Do or Dine @ 1108 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11216
Between Lexington Avenue & Quincy Street
RSVP: rsvp@pantheonnyc.com

SANER
Edgar “Saner” Flores is an urban artist, illustrator and graphic designer. Raised by his parents in Mexico City and surrounded by rich color and tradition, Saner developed an interest in drawing and Mexican muralism early on. He began expressing himself on paper and through graffiti art, later going on to earn a degree in graphic design from the Universidad Autónoma de México. His creations are influenced by Mexican custom and folklore, color, mysticism, masks and skulls. A mix of these lifelong interests and passions has led him to become the artist he is today. Saner’s work has been featured in galleries in Mexico, the United States, London, Berlin and Barcelona. – Kidrobot
