Escif interview & show

Excerpt from this Escif interview. Solo show at Montana Gallery Barcelona at the end of this month.
“Which artist(s) do you admire, or are influencing you at the moment? Are there other artists in Valencia you work with?
There are many different artists I admire all over the world; Blu and his awesome murals, Herbert Baglione’s elegant and big paintings, San´s crazy drawings, Hello Monsters shiny and mad installations are just some to mention. I have lot of respect as well for many different artists that don’t work in street art, like Mauritzio Cattelan, Santiago Sierra, Felix Gonzalez Torres, as many others. In Valencia generally I work on my own, but I also enjoy working with On_ly (as well with other members of XLF), with DOCS (Graffilia), and recently with Hyuro.”

Far East Skateboarding Network

Creative skateboarding and storytelling from the ‘Overground broadcasting’ DVD: “Yes, skating was originally from abroad. But the skating and audio-visual skills has evolved in Japan as time passed. The FESN skate philosophy, looking at overground from the perspective of underground, was born. This is a new definition of Japanese skateboarding, ‘from Japan to the World’”.

Turning the place over


Breaking our preconceptions and expectations. Richard Wilson explores the idea of ‘architecture as event’ and transforms this office building in Liverpool (2007). True ‘Anarchitecture’ Gordon Matta Clark (1943-1978) would say.

The Gonz

Some weird scribbles by Mark “Gonz” Gonzales, skate legend and the man behind Krooked Skateboards. Visit the website for some 3D vids and graphics. It brought the book ‘Skateboarding 3D’ back to my mind.

Every surface becomes a dancefloor

Watch how it felt to ride a skateboard before the ollie had been invented. Two vintage skateboard videos collected from wooster. The one below is 30 years later. Old school – new school.
