This is the trailer promoting the upcoming 52min documentary “Street Art – The Ephemeral Rebellion” by Anne Bürger & Benjamin Cantu, produced by Boekamp & Kriegsheim , on arte next month. The trailer explicitly promises to let us “discover the world beyond banksy”. For people familiar with the matter, it will feature rather well known activists from the US, Berlin, Paris and Moscow, though; amongst those are: Zasd, Swoon, Blek le rat, Brad Downey, Nomad, Princess Hijab, Misha, Most, Igor P, Raphael Suriani and David T.
The colported Moscow feature seems especially interesting as little (or nothing) is known about the urban art scene in the GUS States. There are rumours that the movie will have a premiere in Berlin on which no details are yet known though. The screening on arte will be on the 25th of March, at 21:50. We’ll definitely have a close look at this one.
There’s another Vernissage this evening we would like to recommend: Albin Ray the obscure but nevertheless omnipresent concrete poet, will contribute in the MAGAZIN – Society for the Development of the Arts – opening reception tonight @ Hammer-Purgstall-Gasse 7 / A 1020 Vienna / 12.02.10 / 19:00

The video features Know Hope’s latest installation in the streets of his native
Tel Aviv done in January 2010. More than that, it’s a rare account of his intent
and delicate workflow. Behold Know Hope spinning forward his narrative
of loss and gain, time and timeliness, maturation and reluctance,
and the load experience weighs on his characters shoulders.
For everybody eager delving into the intricate yet archetypic symbolicism of his art,
