Note:

All the proceeds from the night will go towards maintaining the vital work we do with 3,000 11-25 year olds a year, helping them to realise their creative potential as well as build confidence and skills to take into their futures. It will also enable us to develop our artistic programme, offering audiences of all ages new and extraordinary experiences in live music, circus, theatre and new media.

Here are a few completed images of the fine work that celebrated street artist EINE has done on Ebor Street. It was cold, but the good man of Hastings shrugged off the elements in fine, colourful style, doing away with the Anti-Anti-Anti and Pro Pro Pro missives of 2010 (read the story on EINE’s blog) and replacing them them with some new words.

A big shout to ad agency Mother for doing the double and asking the artist to paint their side of the street.

It always makes we wonder when a new one of these pops up, what those dudes doing graff tours to eager Japanese students say ‘knowledgeably’ about the stories behind these walls…

Anyway, hope you like the new works. Have a look next time you are down in Shoreditch - first right off Redchurch Street as soon as you pass the Tea Building.

We were lucky to have Keaton Henson at the gallery recently to create some original art that will be/ has been chopped into 196 pieces and distributed with his new Limited “Birthdays” deluxe CD.

The CD also features 3 bonus tracks, an extended booklet, a fold-out art print and the aforementioned hand-painted piece of art. The CD, obviously, is limited to 196 units and can be bought online here.

We got a sneaky peak behind the scenes at the show opening tonight at Londonewcastle Project Space. We don’t want to spoil it for you, but can confirm that the gallery is packed with cool, original artworks by Toxic - the only surviving member of an influential group, whose story is told using the narrative of exclusive film, music, art and mixed media from and featuring all three members of The Hollywood Africans (Toxic, Rammellzee and Jean-Michel Basquiat).

This exhibition puts all three friends and artists together into a historical context with previously unseen film footage and photographs. The title ‘Last of the Hollywood Africans’ refers directly to Toxic, who as we’ve said, is the last surviving member of the group. Just before Basquiat’s untimely death Toxic moved to Italy. He has also travelled around Europe, taking his art and music with him. He has since returned to New York after stints in Paris, where he continues to create new work.

So, it’s a show not to miss. If you want to know more about the trio, read FAD’s great preview. If you want to see what the bar looks like, that’s easy. Here it is.

Exhibition continues to 24th February. Click here for information.

Forgot to post this picture taken a while back (well, mid-January) when I visited the London Art Fair 2013 courtesy of our friends TAG Fine Arts, Catlin Art Prize (welcome back to Londonewcastle Project Space in 2013!) and ALISN.

The print on the left was on a gallery booth wall mounted innocently enough in a nice picture frame with an even nicer price beside it. It is, however, dwarfed by the massive free-to-view-everyday piece that the artist created back in October in Shoreditch for his sell-out London show at Stolen Space gallery (read the original blog).

The piece is still free to view if you are passing the area off Bethnal Green Road (opposite Box Park). Who knows for how long.
