I am a big fan of street art. Unfortunately we have very little in Toronto.
Living with dirty walls and grey tones of large cities is not easy. Those who live in metropolitan areas know how pleasant it is when in a given day that old and destroyed wall becomes an open air museum: it is the graffiti, transforming forgotten spaces into canvas, valuing the enriching the environment and improving life quality for citizens.
Brazilian Fashion Blog pays a tribute to these artists, bringing a selection of pictures reflecting such works from the major Brazilian metropolis: Sao Paulo.

The Shock of the New 08: The Future That Was
21 06 2012So many of my ideas, my reactions to the art world appear in this program. I almost remember seeing this many years ago. I feel like I was used. As a blank tape I seemed to have recorded so much. Which makes me wonder about any so called original ideas I thought I had. I love the program. Like I love my own thoughts. Agreeing with ideas is a form of vanity. This is a long program, almost an hour. But its a great story.

Yayoi Kusama
13 06 2012This is one strange artist. A cross between Cher and Yoko. She’s quite mad. But in a Walt Disney way.
Tate Modern has gone all polka dot – and I’m not talking about the impending arrival of Damien Hirst. No, no, another artist, similarly best-selling and awfully contemporary, but perhaps less readymade, and stemming all the way from Japan claims that she made polka dots her artistic trademark long before Hirst made the colourful dots his personal emblem with LSD . And she’s probably right, because for Yayoi Kusama, the eccentric, self-admitted mental-institution resident and world famous artist who is the subject of Tate Modern’s latest retrospective exhibition, the polka dot was not just emblematic of her early and continuing artistic career, but represented the hallucinations looming inside her troubled head.
Welcome to Kusama world, a world where an artist’s output is not the product of imagination, but mental torture. Famous for her immersive installations, phallic representation, neon-bright colours and those all-embracing polka dots, Kusama is acutely successful in being…
