Brazilian artists OSGEMEOS are busy transforming several concrete silos on Granville Island as part of the 2014 – <a href="http://www.vancouverbiennale.com/">2016 Vancouver Biennale</a> artistic exhibition. Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo — the artist twins <a href="http://www.osgemeos.com.br/en">OSGEMEOS</a> — have been working on the 21 metre high silos, expected to cover approximately <a href="http://www.osgemeos.com.br/en/projetos/vancouver-biennale-2/">7000 square metres with their art</a>.

This is Now is a powerful short film that chronicles the motivating and unifying effect of notable artist, Louis Masai Michel’s murals on otherwise disconnected communities. The presence of art in unexpected places gives pause for thought, making people aware of the vital work that needs to and can be done to protect nature.
Threatened, extinct and invasive species have been introduced to London’s streets: just as street art can seemingly materialise and then disappear overnight, animals once familiar to the British landscape are vanishing.
‘This Is Now’ was shot by talented filmmaker Toby Madden and features a soundtrack by composer Cosmo Sheldrake whose palette is rich with species recordings. Louis Masai Michel is fast becoming an international voice for conservation, raising environmental consciousness through art in public places.Idiot the Wise; AKA: INSPIREhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15249830451651616808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905801286012048148.post-51912207155386373932015-11-07T09:55:00.002-08:002015-11-07T09:55:29.700-08:00DE-FENCE - Guerilla Art Project Aims At Migration CrisisThey call it Detention Centre for the Securing of Foreigners. But a different word captures its essense. Seventy years on, we're having concentration camps built again! There are currently four such places in the Czech Republic, in which the detainees are treated worse than prisoners, and the statements issued thus far the by the Ministry of the Interior make it clear that this figure is not final. It is the opening of the last of these pooling camps in an old prison in Drahonice, the only goal of which seems to be to trample the dignity of those interned and scare off those who might still dare cross our border, which led us to conceive this activistic and artistic intervention. We refuse to come to terms with the growing walls and barbed wire, or the suffering of the innocent people hiding behind it. For a start, we brought back a shameful mesh trophy from Drahonice, which we transformed into an artistic artefact. The funds gained through its sale will be donated to those encountering this state's xenophobic migration policy first hand. Fewer fences, more heart!
