Yarnbombing The Oakland Museum of California – Day 1 « Streetcolor's Blog ” I’m done ” said Brenda. I looked over and there was the first bannister finished . We were yarnbombing out on Oak street in front of The Oakland Museum of California . There were 4 skinny 15 ft long metal bannisters to yarnbomb and we were now up one . I had been waiting a long time to see how the knitting would look. When I first had the idea to yarnbomb The OMG the idea was extremely exciting in my mind . Then after the joy of the idea and the romance of bragging came the 2 months of full time spinning and knitting . Fortunately I love knitting and spinning . I think with art it’s best to first find something you adore doing . So there I was -getting up every morning and spinning and plying on my spinning wheel all day . Lots of my friends were knitting with me with great generosity . So the day came -today - it was time to start the installation . I drove over to the museum and met The Fibrarian , The Russian , Brenda Loreman and Nancy . Brenda said ” I’m done “ Like this:
Extreme Knitting- Looped madness | sillyreverie Loop after loop Agata Oleksiak crochets anything that enters her bubble; even people! Olek was born in Poland and graduated with a degree in Cultural Studies, she moved away from the ” industrial, close-minded Silesia,” a region in Poland, when she rediscovered her crochet abilities while in New York- where she’s been knitting art ever since. She has stated that she chose to crochet as a means to do two things at once: to watch movies and make some great art. She has been quoted saying, “Life and art are inseparable. The movies I watch while crocheting influence my work, and my work dictates the films I select.” Her artistic goal is to bring renewed color, life and energy with a splash of surprise to a living space- presenting these spaces to the public. She often collaborates with neighborhoods to highlight the, “economic and social reality in our community,” and takes advantage of New York’s many diversified areas to do so.

Trick Co - la Compagnie du Yarn Bombing. Helene Magnusson News Michael De Feo | About Best known in the street art movement for his ubiquitous and iconic flower image, artist Michael De Feo has been creating illegal works on the streets for more than 20 years in more than 40 international cities including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Cabo San Lucas, Amsterdam, Paris, Venice, Buenos Aires, and Hong Kong. Although his flower is the only image he repeats in his street art, Michael has created a variety of other works in the streets. De Feo's current studio work reflects his ongoing interest in Dutch 17th century flower still life painting and Vanitas painting. Not limited to the streets as his canvas, De Feo's work has also appeared in numerous galleries and museums around the world: The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, Conn.; MASS MoCA, North Adams, Mass.; Museo de Arte, San Juan, Puerto Rico; The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; Colette, Paris; Stolen Space, London; The National Art Gallery, Bangladesh; and more.

Yarn bombing Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Yarn bombing dans la ville de Madrid. Le yarn bombing ou tricot-graffiti ou encore tricot urbain (appelé aussi « knit graffiti » en anglais) est une forme d'art urbain ou de graffiti qui utilise le tricot ou les fils colorés[1]. Principe[modifier | modifier le code] Le yarn bombing investit la rue en utilisant et en recouvrant le mobilier urbain de tricot : bancs, escaliers, ponts, mais aussi des éléments de paysage naturel comme les troncs d'arbre, ainsi que les sculptures dans les places ou les jardins. L'un des objectifs est d'habiller les lieux publics en les rendant moins impersonnels, en les humanisant et en suscitant la réaction des passants. Le yarn bombing reste une pratique illégale lorsqu'il ne s'agit pas d'une commande des pouvoirs publics. Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] Le mouvement est né en 2005 lorsque Magda Sayeg a eu l'idée de recouvrir la poignée de la porte de sa boutique de laine à Houston, aux États-Unis. Art urbain

File ta[g] ville How to be a Guerilla Artist June 8th, 2010 How to be a Guerilla Artist (originally published in 2006) Guerilla art is a fun and insidious way of sharing your vision with the world. It is a method of art making which entails leaving anonymous art pieces in public places. It can be done for a variety of reasons, to make a statement, to share your ideas, to send out good karma, or just for fun. My current fascination with it stems from a belief in the importance of making art without attachment to the outcome. My first experience with being a guerilla artist was in my first year of art school in a class taught by conceptual artist Shirley Yanover. Now I am not necessarily advocating that you do anything illegal or potentially life threatening. Possible Formats 1. Potential Ideas for subject matter
needled Street artist Malarky hits wall on Redchurch Street. Street Art London Redchurch Street (near Brick Lane) became a lot more colourful this weekend as street artist Malarky hit up a long wall behind Rich Mix with some of his trademark characters. We caught up with him over the two days that it took him to paint the wall. On a bit of a roll, Malarky also hit up some shutters and walls in the Brick Lane area which we’ll be featuring soon. If you’d like a little more background on Malarky, be sure to check out the great interview that Street Art London did with him back in May this year here: Malarky Interview. Here are some progress shots so you can see how the wall developed.Day 1 Day 2
