GraffitiTV by Jacob Resneck
GraffitiTV is another site that recently caught our attention. As graffiti art continues to globalize, it's overwhelming with the many sites showcasing the latest offerings. But if you've got a QuickTime plug-in, tune into this site and watch one of the many "channels" in which documentary makers from around the world take you on a tour of their neighborhoods, serving up fresh and original artwork on the culverts and walls of the urban jungle. Featured are lo-fi clips as well as full documentaries about the latest international artists whose fame has left their neighborhood to be shared with a global audience.

Cool Hunting Video Presents: Electric Windows
Bringing together 24 street artists from all over the world, Electric Windows is a semi-permanent installation of large-scale work exhibited on the exterior windows of a 19th century blanket factory in Beacon, NY. We traveled to the small town earlier this year to meet some of the artists and watch them make "urban art" in a not-so-urban setting. We also interview one of the...

Muto: An Ambiguous Animation Painted on Public Walls
Blu has created one of the most incredible stop-motion animations I've seen. Painted on walls in Buenos Aires and Baden over this past winter, the piece features a black-and-white creature that morphs into various blobby forms. Starting off as a multi-armed monster, it constantly shifts with the most consistent tropes involving head changes—from spiky to cubed to round, etc. and sometimes devouring/birthing itself. There's...

Cool Hunting Video Presents: José Parlá
Our video about Brooklyn-based artist José Parlá's work explores the thought and process behind his densely-layered graffiti paintings. Perhaps more than any other artist, José blurs the lines between word and image and graffiti and "fine art." In the video José explains his influences (including his brother Rey Parlá's abstract scratch films) and at his Fort Greene studio we get the rare privilege of...

Shawn Barber and Turf One: Life Size
A dual exhibition, Life Size juxtaposes the work of artists Shawn Barber and Turf One for a show of portraits. The irreverent paintings depict fringe members of society in styles that have a religious, even Divine Comedy-like vibe. Barber—a San Francisco-based artist who feels "authenticity comes from fearlessness" and whose recent show "Anathema" featured paintings of masturbating nuns—perfectly compliments Paris-born artist Turf One's style...

Papergirl Street Art Project
by Ariston Anderson When it comes to street art, it’s difficult not to reinvent the wheel. We often see the same wheatpaste graphics or stencil styles over and over. That’s why we were thrilled that our friend, Berlin artist Aisha Ronniger’s pet project, Papergirl, is starting to gain traction. Ronniger started the project in 2005 when there was still debate over whether or not to...
