From Raquel:

"After painting big size with many artists (mainly boys), I am beginning a serial of collaborations with women that don´t work on the streets or whose regular lives are very far from art circuits. First one: with a girl that makes everything you can imagine with crochet. And the second one with my mother. She is recycling materials around the house to build headdresses for my surmas. She is a regular spanish housewife ,that is beginning to discover street art because she wants to understand what her daughter does in life. ;)"

From Sean Martindale in Toronto:

"For some time now, the spot in has been relatively empty aside from mud, waste and strewn garbage. There's an application to build condos on the site. It has remained undisturbed since Monday and I watered it yesterday because there hasn’t been any rain lately… Grass is pretty resilient, so it should survive and take root unless/until somebody removes it. Joe Clement assisted me with the install"

"Art, Advertising, Activism & Alchemy:

The power of public art. The problem of ubiquitous, aggressive, and even illegal advertising. The renaissance of urban activism. The alchemical conversion of public spaces when these concerns meet. These four artists, with different but overlapping practices, represent the transformative intersection of art, advertising & activism. Speaking together for the first time ever:

Jordan Seiler, of the provocative Public Ad Campaign: replacer of advertising with beautiful art and organizer of the staggeringly ambitious New York Street Art Takeovers.

Gabriel “Specter” Reese: the pioneering Artist, emerging from a traditional graffiti background to become the creator of remarkably innovative street works that deal with socially marginalized people and places.

Jason Eppink: the Urban Alchemist transforming video ads into video art with a simple filter and trashed chairs into treasured seating by clever relocation.

Posterchild: the incredibly prolific creator of hundreds of conceptual and sensitive street works, including sculptural, kinetic, robotic and interactive installations, guerrilla gardens, stencils, and of course posters.

Come see these distinguished and award winning persons give individual talks about their practices, followed by a panel Q&A with all four artists. Also on display: 20 screens featuring past street works of all artists and the unveiling of new mural works by Posterchild and I Am. Drinks are available all evening.

"my new poster represents an iraqi girl with school uniform and a flower on her hand. after the war ordinary daily life start again in Iraq and people go to work, at school, kids play in the parks, couples goes in cinema. you know that I love to draw muslim women in general, focus my attention on the veil, and iraqi women wears a tipical veil, similar to iranian chador, but young girls wear the normal veil, the most common in arab world. when I paste up a poster I try to make a sort of urban revaluation, and this time I choose an abandoned factory of FIAT motors group in the centre of Turin."...

From Luzinterruptus

"We cannot deal with another construction project on our sullen streets, nor another tax on our depleted pockets, therefore we have decided to hoist the white flag and turn ourselves in to see if we receive the humanitarian treatment accorded a prisoner of war, because lately we are not enjoying being ordinary citizens.

It cuts us to the quick to think that this round of projects has not finished and that for the candidature of the 2020 Olympic Games, everything done until now will already be obsolete, if not useless or out of fashion and will have to be started again.

Our symbolic act, Surrender before a possible Madrid 2020, took place on Tuesday the 27th of October and consisted of a walk around some of the most representative and long-lasting public works projects in Madrid, in whose tremendous trenches, we left our lighted white flags.

Our walk finished at the grandiose public projects in Colón, where we unfurled to the wind more than 30 flags, so that everyone who passed, would know that our surrender had been carried out.

Gustavo Sanabria was documenting the action and surrendered with us. Our friend Kaspar helped us at all times and also surrendered, a thousand thanks.

Time of installation: 4 hours.
Damages: none.
