Crewest presents From the Streets of Iran, Works on paper by urban artists in Iran, curated by Shervin Shahbazi. This exhibit is the first of its kind in the U.S. featuring graffiti-based works on paper by ICY, SOT, FRZ, MAD, and CK1. These artists have exhibited their work in Europe and Australia, and this is their United States debut.

John Fekner just contacted Stencil Archive to let us know that he's updated his site http://www.johnfekner.com/

Though he has "beta" on the mast head, the site has many images from his amazing art/stencil portfolio.

Fekner told us that he's updating more content to his site "in a timely fashion."

We can't wait to see the additions!

From Logan Hicks:

That conversation [with GD manager Pat Magnarella] led to the idea of having 18 artists interpret the lyrics of the upcoming Green Day album, "21st Century Breakdown", to draw the line between art and music. Before the album was released, I forwarded the lyrics without music to set the tone - one song to each artist.

The result of the collaboration is now on tour with Green Day. At select shows, the artwork will be set up in an inpromptu art gallery outside the venue. There have been talks of a show in London and elsewhere too.
