The lady in question
Miss Riz is an Aussie artist living in Brunswick, Melbourne and will be painting live at the next Sketch City this Saturday 13 March. We had a chat to her to find out how she works, what’s it like live painting in front of a crowd and why there are more guy street artists than girls out there?

One of the world’s pioneers of stencil art, Blek Le Rat swung by Melbourne last December. Mmm why are we telling you this now you say. Well, firstly if you missed his talk at the Metro Gallery here ’tis and also some footage of him painting with Melbourne’s Blender Crew. But best of all we happen to have a copy of his book to GIVE AWAY!

If Banksy himself was a chimpanzee he would’ve made all of us stop laughing by now. Because this artist is in charge. Not only is he in charge of street art, but in charge of a whole street art revolution that has shown us that the scene is not just all about bombing trains and getting your name up. Banksy’s rats, chimps and coke sniffing coppers have all made our day once or twice. His stencil art is food for thought and a real piss take of the entire human race. Maybe that’s why his kind of art seems much less provoking to society than normal grafitti art. It’s a sin not to laugh of yourself, and if you don’t find it funny well then you’ll have to laugh anyway. Because it’s a rule. It’s Banksy’s rule.
His movie will be out soon. Check the trailer and get excited!

One of my favourite discoveries of 2009 was artist David Shillinglaw. He was kind enough to send me a copy of his latest zine titled No King Hungry Spirit. No King Hungry Spirit claims to be full of ‘extracts from a novel no one will ever read’ but I find myself going back to this zine time and time again because of the contrast between simplicity and complexity.
Drawings mostly grace these photocopied pages with the exception of a peacock feather and some 35mm negatives of hand guns next to a splatter of paint, a zine definitely worth picking up. Head over to David Shillinglaw’s webpage to see the other zines he’s created along with some awesome paintings that he has for sale. A win-win in my book.

Anyone who survived the last Berlin winters will remember the .HBC as a beacon of light in the otherwise gray, rainy (and strangely empty, considering it is basically the most central place in Berlin) Alexanderplatz area. Located in the former Hungarian Cultural Center, the space offers almost 2000 square meters for all sorts of shenanigans: installations, art shows, performance pieces and, of course, parties.
