Scion Installation 7 Interview: David Choe from Scion ART on Vimeo.

We generally don't post sponsor projects, but hey, it's David Choe, and it's for charity, so what the hell. Besides, you can't buy Scion here..ok, so shut it.

David Choe presents Risk at Basel 2010

"This video is a short time laps video of legendary graffiti artist RISK freestyling a wall at Art Basel in Miami. There were many talented artists from around the world at Art basel. Many legendary artists congregated in the Wynwood Arts District., In typical RISK fashion, RISK grabbed some cans and impressed the crowd with an incredible impromptu piece." - David Choe 2010

New print based on a massive 7 x 10 foot canvas titled “toxic la sunsets and the dirty moon hangs like a filthy fingernail.”

OK, that's the mind numbing sales pitch over, for a sense of perspective and a heady dose of Choe reality, head over to Choe's blog and check out why we love this guy. Or, if you live locally, head down to the corner of the oil museum and marvel at this giant cyber bird.

CHOE & DVS1'S HORSE REAPPEARS

Originally the piece by David Choe and DVS1 created during Nuart 2009 appeared too strong for the public, and certainly for the owner of the wall, who angrily pointed out that an evil devil riding a cyber stallion with a massive hard on into his family bistro, was not what he had in mind when first approached.

The piece was subsequently whitewashed and replaced by a Skewville storefront piece. As the Skewville pasteups have been removed, the devil horse is reappearing from the hinterlife. Could be something to do with the guys recent flirtation with the nine levels of hell.

We've read an abundance of articles on how the ephemeral and transient nature of street art is intrinsic to the form, but this is the first time we've ever witnessed a piece come back to life.

Not unlike Brad Downy's recent experiments on Vienna's Graffiti Wall of Fame.

HELL'S HALF ACRE

HELL'S HALF ACRE

Art exhibitions that manage to inspire me to get off my lazy ass, book a flight and jet off to foreign lands are few and far between, however, I'll be making an exception for this one. Lazinc and The Old Vic Tunnels present Hell's Half Acre. Whilst the Frieze Art Fair, taking place the same weekend, is my real idea of the eighth level of hell, Lazinc go the whole hog and provide us with the full nine. Quite a few Nuart friends and tunnels rats, including David Choe and Vhils have already finished their contribution, can't wait to see what's in store. It's rare that galleries get down and dirty and deep into production values beyond banging a nail in the wall and hanging a framed piece. Be good to see how the concept plays out. Divine ? Comedy ? or both..

From the Press Release

The labyrinth of tunnels beneath Waterloo station are being converted into a large-scale evocation of Dante's Inferno. Visitors will explore a unique interpretation of the nine circles of hell through the vision of your very favorite Laz artists plus additional contributions from outside the normal roster including: Conor Harrington, Vhils, George Osodi, Antony Micallef, Doug Foster, Todd James, Paul Insect, Mark Jenkins, Boogie, Ian Francis, Polly Morgan, Jonathan Yeo and many more ... Interaction with the works will be encouraged as part of this multi-sensory experience.

Hell's Half Acre will be open for viewing from 12th to 17th October, 6pm till 11pm Tuesday to Thursday, with extended hours over the weekend.

Entry to the exhibition will be free, but as space is limited you will need to book ahead.
