For Sale. One Space Hijackers Tank. Last seen 01 April 2009 – at London’s G20 demonstrations – steaming down Bishopsgate with Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries blaring from its soundsystem. 11 careful owners all registered on the DNA database. Many of us popped our arrest cherry that day.
Our mobile oppression [...]
Billboard vandal and drinker of tea Dr D plies his trade in a West London warehouse nestled in a landscape of railway lines, telephone poles and refrigerator graveyards.
When we meet, he is ankle deep in cut-out letters, spraymount and a scattering of UK election campaign propaganda. He’s recently finished a two-storey high paste up [...]
An exhibition intended to open discussion about surveillance and the gaze, Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera opens this week at London’s Tate Modern. The show explores themes of eroticism, celebrity, violence and security in the world around us. Over 250 works have been selected by Tate Modern in conjunction with [...]
My latest piece for Juxtapoz Magazine is a feature on London’s Miss Bugs.
It’s strange because although I really like them as people, I know they’re capable of better work than what’s being produced. I wish they’d shake the fear of being labeled political and actually embrace that element in their work – collage and [...]
This weekend, Mutate Britain asked kennardphillipps to revamp one of their more recent works Fucking Waste of Money for their Robin Hood Tax event at London’s Cordy House.
Fucking Waste of Money looks a bit like this:
They erected the picture on Thursday – the same day my erstwhile companjero, Sky News’ Niall Paterson, took these photos [...]
Dr D’s swipe at this year’s election campaign continues unabated. This time it’s on a billboard at the M4/A312 junction in London.
Of his latest stick ‘em up he’s said: “I never thought I could cram in a reference to WWII graffiti, a has-been chat show host and a suspect political party on one board [...]
Oh dear oh dear. A silly man at London’s Lazarides Gallery has just sent an email cc’ing everyone on their client list. I won’t reprint the list but suffice it to say some of the people on there have A LOT of money.
A bit of background – photographer Steve Lazarides founded LazInc many moons ago…it [...]
Crown Prosecution Service drops all charges against 11 Space Hijackers for impersonating police officers.
Elated. Over the moon. Downing a stiff gin to celebrate. But shaking with anger at the drama I and my friends have had to endure over the past ten months. Many of us have suffered throughout this ordeal, a farcical attempt by [...]
After an enforced day off, I hauled my languid self to Ladbroke Grove to the Mutate Britain show for its private view. Knowing full well I wouldn’t get anywhere near seeing the art, I busied myself by fixing a grin on my face and calling people “darling”.
I did, however, catch up with a few old [...]
A few weeks ago, I went to an abandoned shell of a building in Tel Aviv to cover a show called “Kindred Times and Future Goodbyes” for Juxtapoz Magazine.
It was put on by arguably the best artists in that town’s street art scene – Know Hope, Klone, Zero Cents, and Foma.
Know Hope put me [...]
