De la editorial alemana Gestalten nos llega una de sus últimas publicaciones titulada
Surf Odyssey - The Culture of Wave Riding
Surf Odyssey es Surf. Respira Surf y nos introduce al mundo fuera del mainstream de esta noble disciplina deportiva.
El viaje, por que realmente el libro es un viaje por el mundo, comienza con breves ensayos introductivos sobre estar Stoked, la ola como un cuadro, la aventura y el viaje en búsqueda de playas desconocidas.
Daniel Crockett nos entrega un hermoso textos sobre el arte de encontrar una ola en un lugar inhóspito: aguas frías. De esos lugares donde de seguro no te encuentras con nadie más en el line up.
Surf Odyssey es un libro que, cómo es tradición en los libros de Gestalten, nos busca entregar una introspectiva desde los mismos artífices del deporte.
Ahora el enfoque es mas bien artístico y el libro presenta a deportistas, artistas, fotógrafos seleccionados que representan una parte, cada uno con su estilo, de lo que el Surf significa.
Tenemos por ejemplo al gran fotógrafo Brian Bielmann, un estudio de diseño Dutchmann, artesanos de la fabricación de tablas como Furrow Surf Craft.
Es muy entretenido e interesante la variedad de personas y grupos que son presentados cada uno con sus 4-5 páginas.
Surf Odyssey es en gran parte visual. Lo cual se agradece por que la calidad de las imágenes es alucinante.
Además el libro es un viaje hacia lugares como Corea del Sur, Tasmania, Nazaré y hasta Islandia entre muchos otros.
Te sientes y abres el libro y eres transportado a lugares inhóspitos, introducido a personajes desde la India hasta Escandinavia.
Un libro fresco, que vive y respira surf.
Recomendable!

Outsiders los entrevista y los busca, los retrata y los destaca. Gente que viaja por montones y que gusta de dormir a la intemperie. Genial!
Más de 270 páginas con increibles imágenes de paisajes desed Alaska hasta Tierra del Fuego. El libro destaca tanto productos como viajes lo cual me parece interesante ya que logra un equilibrio entre mostrar lugares y transmitir esta sensación de "mañana saldré a una nueva aventura con la naturaleza" pero también mostrando productos.
Cada capítulo obviamente muestra productos relacionados a la nieve, al agua, etc. y aventuras relacionadas a esta temática.
Me gusta especialmente el dedicado uso de las imágenes y de los productos como también los textos. Interesantes, breves, atractivos.
Nada en este libro lo hace parecido a....es único, es muy cool!

'72DP' is the latest in a string of large-scale mural and installation works created by sydney and new york-based design and illustration duo, craig & karl.
of an award-winning residence in sydney, australia's darling point by architects marsh cashman koolloos (MCK).
'the objective of the project was to breathe new life into the space which, having been rendered in concrete with little inlet of natural light, felt quite dark and heavy. working closely with the owners, who possess a keen design sensibility, it was decided that the mural would
cover all surfaces in a blanket of bright color. there was also a request that the larger wall surfaces be left blank with an eye towards potentially introducing additional, individually commissioned works at a future date. nevertheless it was vital that the installation feel
and function as a complete work in its own right. the resulting design is a dynamic mix of overlapping geometric forms that mirror and respond to the angularity of the architecture. the whole piece is tied together by a winding, ribbon-style device which, acting as a central axis, leads in from the driveway, through the space and out to the garden beyond.' - craig & karl

Synopsis:
"What would the world be like from an underground perspective?"
SURFACE is an experimental film, exploring the emotional journey from an underground urban perspective. This 'urban symphony' transforms human actions and street objects into beats that harmoniously compose a grand audio and visual composition. The film emphasizes the ideas of 'point of contact', 'human identity' and notion of 'live footprints'.
SURFACE is a part of UND-VIS, a thesis project for MFA Design and Technology, Parsons The New School for Design. UND-VIS : Under Vision Experiment; explores the new visual language of an unconventional perspective from below.

From Dre Urhahn and Haas&Hahn of Favela Painting:
"Our latest work in Rio de Janeiro. It's called Praça Cantão and spans over 34 houses, covering 7000 square meters. We are slowly moving towards our goal: painting an entire favela and we're getting closer and closer.
Over the last month, Praça Cantão, the square at the entrance of the community of Dona Marta was turned into a vibrant artwork of monumental scale. 34 houses on the giant hillside favela, located in the center of Rio de Janeiro, have been painted in a design of colorful rays, radiating into the city. This 7000 square meter artwork is part of the 'Favela Painting' project by Haas&Hahn (Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn), a project that aims to transform communities into landmarks and inspirational monuments as a part of Rio's image, next to the statue of Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf mountain.
Realization of the artwork is largely driven by the inhabitants of Dona Marta. 25 local youth have been trained as painters, providing for their own income and being responsible for turning their own neighborhood into a colorful monument. This grassroots method of working has proven to be successful in earlier projects, and gives the local community empowerment, pride and color. The local team is complemented by three painters from another favela, Vila Cruzeiro, where two of the previous projects by Haas & Hahn took place.
The project has thusfar been financed through grants and donations, but a co-operation with the dutch paint company AkzoNobel might open new doors. A meeting with their Managing Director Tex Gunning, showed they had a shared vision. "They wanted to give color to the community", Dre recalls, "and we wanted to give art to the community. I see no reason why we cannot recreate this idea across 300 houses, 3000 houses, whether its in Rio, Johannesburg, Mumbai or anywhere in the world."
About Favela Painting
In 2006, the Dutch artists Jeroen Koolhaas en Dre Urhahn conceived the
idea of creating community-driven art interventions in Brazil. Named
'Favela Painting', their first efforts yielded two murals which were
painted in Vila Cruzeiro, Rio's most notorious slum. The first mural is
entitled 'boy with kite' and has a surface of 150 m2. The second mural
proved to be more challenging, with a surface of 2000 m2. Painted on a
staircase in the heart of Vila Cruzeiro, it depicts a flowing river with
Koi Carp fishes in the style of a Japanese tattoo, designed together
with Rob Admiraal. The artworks for the murals are painted in
collaboration with the local youth. Training and paying them as
painters, learning them the tricks of the trade and empowering them by
contributing to the development of the artwork. These projects received
worldwide press coverage and have become points of pride both within the
community and throughout Rio.
Using a grassroots-based bottom-up approach has proven to be a key factor in the success and final results. In order to generate support and approval for their activities, the artists always make the favela their home. By spending their time within the local community, they're able to connect to their surroundings more easily, winning the hearts and minds of people. In their point of view, the inhabitants of the favela are a legitimate part of the city, but not seen that way from the outside. Using these beliefs, they work with the locals to paint the artworks, literally helping them changing the face of their community. Over the years, inhabitants of the favela's have become aware of this method, and are actively requesting their favela to be turned into an artwork. As one woman from Vila Cruzeiro put it: 'I've never been to a museum in my life, and now I'm living in one'.
Favela Painting is supported by the Firmeza Foundation in the creation of striking artworks in unexpected places. It collaborates with the local community to use art and color as a tool to inspire, create beauty, combat prejudice and attract attention. The Foundation facilitates the worldwide realisation of art interventions, and looks after their maintenance. It also develops relevant spin-off projects in the areas of education, socio-economic / social support and development of local people involved in the projects.
As of March 2010, Favela Painting has established a collaboration with AkzoNobel's decorative paint division. Based on their mission of "adding colour to people's lives", AkzoNobel intends to participate in an inspiring and meaningful manner in local communities in the countries in which it operates. The objective of the cooperation between both parties is to realise worldwide, large scale "community driven" works of art. Works of art that make a colourful difference in the lives of individuals, groups, communities and cities. Works of art that have the potential of inspiring others elsewhere, that leave an indelible impression and can work as a catalyst in the processes of social renewal and change.

"Railtracks and a traincar at the backyard of the Molotow™ Headquarters, how does that sounds to you? Well, we made it. Crazy for many reasons. At the end of the day we are sure to offer the perfect surface for an upcoming project. That train is our tribute to an very important movement of the worldwide graffiti art scene."

K.E.L.P. Spreads His Style Far and Wide: Street Art from South America to Europe
K.E.L.P. stands for Kultura En La Pared (Kulture On The Wall). It's my pseudonym. I've loved colors from an early age, and especially the political murals that started to pop up in Chile in the '80s and '90s . They impressed me with thier vivid, saturated colors, and occupied vast surfaces.Graffiti started for me by by watching first. I'd observe graffiti writers paint and my love for the art grew fast in Plaza Italia, Santiago's downtown area, where the one and only graffiti shop was (Otra Vida).
I followed the wave of graffiti out of Santiago and into other cities within Chile and then outside of South America, and I painted with friends and slowly came to know many great people who were also creating and developing the art. This pushed me and I grew and learned within the medium that has become my life's passion.
Right now I am living in Europe, immersing myself in new experiences, learning and observing. I sustain myself by painting and creating and selling my work to companies. My love for the art has enabled me to be independent and travel the world.

VHILS o Alexandre Farto, presentará en Londres su primera exposición llamada "Scratching The Surface". Desde el 3 de Julio hasta el primero de Agosto en la Galería Lazarides Gallery.
Lo más sorprendente de los nuevos trabajos son afiches enormes que usando diversos químicos carcomen el papel para dejar ver los diversos "otros" afiches pegados debajo.
Un clásico que también pasa cuando limpias una pared con mucho material pegado y sacas capas y capas de pintura o papel....
Resumen en inglés de la segunda exposición de Azambuja en Portugal:
"In his second exhibition in Portugal Marlon de Azambuja presents us three different but interrelated bodys of work. Around 200 photographs and drawings occupy the walls forming a long route through Lisbon, a route that the artist has already made in Madrid (city where he lives now) and in São Paulo. The photographs are taken on the streets, more specifically of the ground of Lisbon, formerly the calçada (characteristic paving of Lisbon) or the regular asphalt. The objects on the images are sewage covers, gutter, access covers to electrical and phone wire.
Those objects are evidence of our civilization and traces of the sub-structure of our daily life. Marlon de Azambuja connects the caps, grids, plates through a black line which projects them into a universe of conscious forms: trapezoids, rectangles and squares more geometrical shapes.
The title "Metaesquemas" inevitably links to the work of Hélio Oiticica and the "Movimento Neoconcreto Brasileiro" (Brazilian neoconcrete movement). It is a tribute not so devoid of sense of humor, is it? In his older series like for instance Potencial Escultorico the artist had already explored the relationship between everyday life and Art. He brings already present smouldering elements to the surface, proving that the artist still has "carte blanche" to observe what surrounds him in another way, a different look. The video Pangea Choco-emphasizes the irony showing the genesis of our planet with its continents making an inflection until their disappearance and disintegration ... in a glass of milk."
