Chris LaBrooy is back, just as curious as ever. The title of his new work is »Flight Intestine«, an awesome rendering of a Boeing 747 whose intestines are dripping from the body of a plane. It’s weirdly beautiful. How frequently in his work the artist transforms ordinary objects into much stranger versions of themselves.

After a bunch of groundbreaking hits, Minneapolis artist Brock Davis has released some new artwork over the last few months, awesome and as always easy to follow. Created with common household items and products that we encounter on a daily basis. There is a portrait of a bear created from facial hair shavings, a Star Wars »Cereal TIE Fighter« using two Crispix for the hexagonal wings and two Cheerios for the hull and a heart carving in a broccoli stem. Brock Davis made his Instagram page become a gallery. It is worth a visit.

Do you remember? Last year Spanish street artist SpY wrapped a german police car as part of the CityLeaks Urban Art Festival in Cologne. I really don’t know why I never mentioned this guy on this blog. Since the 1980s, his interventions and graffitis may be encountered in cities all over the world and his ideas are as strong as ever. Funny, fleeting and confusing at the same time.
Some older works…

On the 25th revolutionary 1st of May demonstration in Berlin-Kreuzberg in 2012, protesters were throwing huge inflatable cobblestones, made of silver-reflective foil and tape. The creative intervention meant as a celebration of an object which is both a symbol and a material weapon of anti-authoritarian struggle everywhere. It also aimed to bring new strategies of tactical frivolity into the demonstration.
The campaign was initiated by the art-activist collective »Eclectic Electric Collective« (EEC), an international organised network, consisting of artists, activists and other interested people, with a base in Berlin. The collective now operates under the name Tools for Action.
Irish graffiti artist Maser has covered his clashing patterns all over an abandoned petrol station in Limerick City somewhere in Ireland as part of a transformative urban art project. Maser titled the installation »No.27 – a nod to Ed Ruscha« – after an American pop art artist who published a collection of photographs titled »Twentysix Gasoline Stations«.
Der große Elektrokomponist der frühen Nuller remixed sich durch die Musik des Sample- und Collagenkünstlers James Din A4. Techno mit Unkraut mit der Spitzhacke bearbeitet. Schönes Werkstattalbum.
