Acclaim and Carbon Festival put out their video recap this week, great to see the whole thing in shap shots – so much happened!

Zonk Vision released their second "Mr Scribble" video – hilarious shit.

This great piece that Beastman and Jumbo were commissioned for was a talking point earlier this week, but its a fkn fantastic piece of art in a fantastic location, no matter what anyone thinks of the subject matter. Well done, dudes!

The crew over at Acclaim put this piece up of the massive DMV paintup in Melbournes chinatown the other week. Word.

Saturday Transmissions – Askew, High & Five

Saturday .. huh? Yeah, I ran out of time this week with everything, so we weren’t able to get the Transmissions up on Thursday – but that’s cool, as a few really cool ones were put out on Friday!

Anyways, you know the drill, watch on for this weeks roundup of all the cool video that’s been released in the past week …

Snap20120303at11.10.11 thumb   Saturday Transmissions   Askew, High & Five

First up we have a video released featuring Askew – imho one of the most talented graff artists around. A rare look behind his work.

Higher Ground studios has an open day tomorrow, and this is a really, really cool glimpse into the artists working in there. Mad.

If you didn’t catch the interview we did with Nanami Cowdroy, you should check it out – this is the video with a bit behind her work on the Smirnoff project.

Ryan McGennisken had his show, If Its Between Death and Magic a couple of weeks ago, and this is an awesome little walkthrough of the show.

Project 5 is coming up soon, more details on that really soon, but here’s a short preview!

With her show with Suki coming up next weekend, Be Free did this short of one of her pieces!

This is a great little piece on some of the public art going up in Sydneys China town – nice to see councils involving artists in revitalisation efforts!

Well, that’s about it for this week – we’ll have more next week, probably on the Thursday this time .. unless Saturday feels better!

Our first feature video this week, is the Tropfest film by Jacob Oberman, featuring E.L.K. and Fr Bob Maguire.

Awesome.

 

Oh, and coming up next week, which we’ll get to soon, is a show from two of Melbournes coolest street artists at Espionage GAllery, Be Free and Suki!

Alex Mitchell, one of the team behind Backwoods Gallery, and Louis Mitchell, put together this short doco about Usugrow, who exhibited there last year. Amazing short film, this one – must see.

Token International Video

It’s not very often that we post up any videos from outside of Australia, but I mean, shit does happen across the waves! This one really struck us this week .. so we’ve decided each week to post up a token international video, just for the fuck of it. Conor Harrington is one of our ultra favourites, and this is a short film abut his trip back to Ireland to paint …

That’s all we got, you know the deal, if you have a video, send it to us!

Shoe’s exhibition last week at RTIST Gallery was awesome – next weeks DMV show will also be amazing, but if you didn’t see this video with Shoe whilst he was down here on tour, catch it now – pretty damn cool.

Thursday Transmissions – SEAR, Punk & Squish

Oh have we seen stuff this week, and oh have we loved it. One of the best things about following all this kind of art these days is the amazing documentation of it all – so many people doing videos, so many great little productions … err, and lots of amateur stuff, that we love anyways because it *is* documented.

Anyways, here’s your weekly dose of what’s been happening around in VideoLand …

Tiger Translate Sydney 2011 sounds like it was mad fun – with collaborations between Beastman, Numskull, Creepy, Phibs & Matt Stewart (Australia), Junkhouse (Korea), Lhagvaa Enkhbat (Mongolia) and Momorobo (Singapore). Can’t wait for the next Melbourne event!

We’re not exactly sure what this is or where it sprang from, we have little information about it – but this doco coming out looks pretty damn cool! Check out the preview for it.

Next up is the fifth part of the Urban Scrawl previews, and probably our favourite that combines a lot of the elements and such from the previous ones. Watch!!!

TAGGIN 101 from Zonk Vision on Vimeo.

A weekend of two ago, a bunch of us who do walls with the ReVurt project were invited down to another laneway in Prahran alongside a slew of other artists by Wayne Tindall to paint up – great day, great artists.

Another great video of Suki from Melbourne Street Art – theres just something about watching pasting done in the rain …

Suki also caught up with Barek for some collab work whilst she was up in Brisbane.

Lost At E-Minor sponsored a wall by Umpel in Newcastle recently, which was put together by Simone Sheridan, who is doing great things with SAW up there.

Thursday Transmissions – Play, Fire & Limits

Welcome to your weekly roundup of Australian street art videos. Theres so much stuff constantly coming out from the Outpost Project, so this week we’re going to run through all of those first …

GameFaceMedium thumb   Thursday Transmissions   Play, Fire & Limits

Afends headed to Outpost, and did a clip of all the stuff they saw whilst they were there – great snippets of all the happenings and artwork …

Madness – Teem narrowly beat out Deb in this fantastic Secret Wars battle last weekend at Outpost Project! Short clip this one, looking forward to the full video!

Next up, there’s also a feature on Deb by the crew at ArtSeries Hotels on the work she’s been doing out at the island …

Also, there’s another cool feature from ArtSeries that was just released today – this one on 23rd Key, the winner of the Australian Stencil Art Prize for 2011.

.. annddd, on to other things! This was posted up a while ago, but considering that the event is coming up again soon, we thought we’d post this cool teaser on Backyard Play!

Okay, the guys from Urban Scrawl are just starting to tease the crap out of us now – this show looks like its going to be mintox – and then some!!

Creepy, Daek and Island Limits put together this awesome video of some work they did back in October – if theres a must watch this week, this ones at the top.

CDH has finally released the video from his Naping adventures at the Traditional Health Care fundraiser the other month – ahhhh. Green fire!

Daek has a show coming up at RTIST Gallery next week – and here’s the first promo video for it!

International sojourners Dabs Myla did some work over in Shoreditch with Remi Rough in late October, and VNA were there to capture it.

Thursday Transmissions – ROA, Atlas & Scrawl

Well, we’re pretty sure that this weeks Transmissions beats all the rest and is the largest we’ve done yet – in sheer number count anyways! With so many videos we’ve seen this week that piqued our interest, we wont delay – get watching and enjoy it all as much as we have …

deansunshine landofsunshine melbourne streetart graffiti invurttoptennine3Custom thumb   Thursday Transmissions   ROA, Atlas & Scrawl

As he’s one of our favourite artists, and as we helped out Art Series Hotels in their time up at Cockatoo Island, well, we have to start out with this video showcasing ROA at the event – love his work.

CDH was in the news last week, and, we’re sure you would agree, but removing this piece of implemented art, which actually added to the piece and made it quite amazing, was a fair wrong turn for Melbourne City Council – why not leave it as it was? It was pretty damn brilliant … read more of this story behind the sculpture on CDHs website.

On the Outpost Project tip – Art Nation had a special segment on the event, and if you haven’t been or haven’t thought much of it, this’ll probably make you want to go.

A little more on Outpost, as ArtSeries also did a piece a few days ago on the Oi! You! Exhibition – and there’s a bit of an interview in here with George Shaw, who put it together …

Numskull has the opening of his "Mixed Messages" exhibition tonight, and here’s a great sneak peek preview of the show.

We’re still seeing a lot of stuff turning up from D*Faces visit to us last month, but this is a more than excellent book ending to a grand visit! Check out the Bright Things TV segment on the artist …

At ten minutes, its pretty long – but this is an entire walkthrough and look at all the work up in the Pastemoderism 3 show – so much artwork …

<

They’ve been working on this for a while now, but Kaff-eine, Precious Little, Tig-tab and Blacklodge have been working on a pretty cool urban exploration show that’ll be on in January – we have the feeling that this is going to be something really quite extraordinary.

As we mentioned yesterday, Anthony Lister was in Sydney for Outpost as well – and this is a preview of the piece that’s launching today, Rainbow City Gaze. Nice.

Here’s a great time lapse of a recent piece by Makatron – love it.

Max Berry and Mark Alsweiler also have a show on this week, and this is preview of it – All Things Lost.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t put this up – Acclaim Magazine are celebrating their 25th issue soon, and they had Ken Done do the cover! Between Ken Done and Dropbears, we just can’t think of anything more fittingly Aussie.

Ironlak posted this up today of the Deer Duck Bistro being painted up in Brisbane by the Anomyart crew.

Lastly for this week, something quite cool – Tanja Jade, who opened a show at Backwoods last week, and Simon Peters put together this cute little cartoon – pretty funny stuff!

Well, that’s all we have again! Don’t forget to browse through previous weeks, and, if you have a cool video you want us to include – send it through!

Kieran Mangan has been doing a whole series of comics based on The Conspiracies of Ha-Ha lately, they’re fkn hilarious, and they want to turn it into a book – go and check it out, and donate to this more than worthy cause!! You should also check out this great video of Ha-Ha as he talks about his work, street art in Melbourne … and his theories on several conspiracies … but, seriously, if you haven’t seen the comic yet, you should!

Drypnz has a show coming up on Friday night, and he did this ultra cool preview trailer for it – take a look, its kinda fantastic as hell.

We missed this one a few weeks ago, but we wanted to put it up in light of his upcoming show – Drypnz does some silos. Nice
