A few works from Codefc can now been seen across Amsterdam. We have put some of these below. We particularly like the juxtaposition with the famous painting “The milkmaid” by the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.

Sam cannon at SCOPE international art fair in Miami
SCOPE, an international art fair, is under way now until this Sunday 6/12 and along with scores of people, it brings out fresh new talent such as Sam Cannon.
Sam Cannon, 23, is a graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology and a digital media artist living in New York City. Cannon’s work exploring the innovative space between video and still photography has been bolstered by her significant presence on Tumblr. Through this influence, Cannon has been asked to lend her vision to brands like Gap, Veuve Cliquot, and Nike, as well as an anti-bullying campaign, musician Vic Mensa, and New York Fashion Week.

8-bit street art from Sweden
8-bit type of art is just so simple and so brilliant. It gets even better when it depicts characters we all know such as PacMan and Mario Bros. Enjoy the pics below
The OS GEMEOS street art plane for the Brazilian football team
We need transportation for the players of the 2014 World Cup football, don’t we? How about a mean that will definitely stand out of the crowd and make us the coolest football team out there?
Well, as if the Brazilian team needed to become even cooler, they actually did. Their team’s airplane for the World Cup follows the street art theme that Brazil authorities have been using to get the word out there. They asked street artists Os Gêmeos to come up with some ideas and give their plane a face lift.
The result, an unmissable aircraft which took over 1,200 cans of spray paint to be done.
Banksy v. Robbo: the fight’s still on
Team Robbo and his crew still seem bitter and have painted over another one of Banksy’s pieces in Camden. This guerilla started when Banksy painted over one of Robbo’s historical throwups – see earlier post here. Team Robbo went back to Regent Street Canal and modified the piece which now seems to imply that Banksy is fishing for ‘street cred’.
One thing to notice in all this is the two different approaches – Banksy paints over while Team Robbo ‘alter’ to suit their means. This is probably the only interesting and entertaining aspect of that whole story because to be honest, there is no need for such non-respect.

Flying eyeball exhibition & pop up show – Gallery 27
I got a flyer telling me about that exhibition – ‘Flying Eyeball presents Exhibition & Pop Up Shop’ when I went to the Lock Up exhibition last week (will post about it soon). I looked again at the flyer and after reading the artists line-up, Goldie, Ben Allen, Shok 1, etc. I could not wait but to be there.
On my way now with a friend to the Gallery 27, based in Mayfair. As I was trying to find my way (I lost the map I had printed earlier) I looked around to see only shops selling very expensive things or people in impeccable suits. I then thought, why Mayfair? An old looking and smelly warehouse in Dalston would surely suit a lot more that sort of exhibition (Dalston, Shoreditch – trendy spots, everyone knows that and agree) but I quickly realised that no actually Mayfair is spot on and is a sign of what Street Art has become and where it stands today in the vast contemporary art world: it is everywhere and appreciate by more and more people everyday.
I am actually pretty sure some of these people if not at least one (in impeccable suits) I stumbled across tonight may actually have thought or event bought a reproduction of a Banksy’s piece which is now hung in their study or in the loo. We need to give a bit more time though to see that piece hung on the living room next to a Rembrandt or a Monet, let’s be realistic.
I am now in the gallery and my first thought is asking whether I can take pictures (to post on this blog!) as I glance at that piece from Goldie right to the left when you come in. The girl I asked was having her takeaway and had to ask the manager who was downstairs who also got a takeaway but had to… anyway to make it short, I was allowed.
