Samantha Lo SKL0 Consideration should be taken with regard to the magnitude of implications that come with the application of stickers, graffiti and other applications in public spaces. The public space is shared by everyone and at least a thought must be shown on the possible impact your work could have on the environment and the people who live in it. There is a long-standing debate over street art and vandalism in many parts of the world, and there are many who will not hesitate to declare street artists as vandals, and waste no time to form hyperbole assumptions to situations where street art is encouraged. Rather than turn aggressive against these people who lobby for street artists to be put down, the street artist community must first understand that people are afraid of things they do not understand. That being said, these designs are recommended for personal use, and capitalising on these designs for commercial use kills innocent kittens.

Une artiste cartographie les odeurs des villes En 2011, Kate McLean a eu une drôle d'idée: cartographier les villes en fonction de ce qu'elles sentent. The Smithsonian se fait l'écho de l'initiative de cette artiste designer («passionnée par les cartes», comme elle se définit elle-même), diplômée de l'Edinburgh College of Art. Son projet n'est pas scientifique mais bien artistique, l'idée étant d'explorer les liens émotionnels qui attachent les gens aux villes dans lesquelles ils vivent ou qu'ils visitent. «Ce n'est pas un grand ensemble de données. Pour le moment, elle a cartographié Newport, Glasgow, Edinbourg, New York, Amsterdam et Paris. Pour réaliser ses cartes, explique The Smithsonian, elle interroge un éventail de personnes (qui vivent là depuis longtemps, des nouveaux arrivants, des touristes) et parfois se balade avec eux dans la ville. Parfois, ce que lui disent les gens nécessite de connaître la ville. «Paris sent le miel.» Hum... vraiment? Son projet de carte de Paris est un peu différent des autres. Cécile Chalancon
Artists who are also women Shamsia Hassani. Photo courtesy of Combat Communications. This is a guest post by Robin Grearson. So here’s the deal. Complex asked Vandalog founder-leader RJ Rushmore to create a list for them, “50 Greatest Street Artists Right Now,” and that list came out this month. When I saw it I was surprised. Yes, I know that any person who makes up a list like that would come up with a different list. We volleyed some names back and forth but ultimately my argument was not with his exclusion of any particular artist. If I were RJ and knew the work of as many street artists as he does, I would start with my favorites, and probably run out of room just listing those artists. Consider that the most powerful and the most personal work is not necessarily going to resonate as strongly once it crosses gender lines, which is not a minor point. After our exchange, RJ offered me an opportunity to write a post for Vandalog about women street artists, and I respect him for that. Aiko. Aiko Fefe Talavera. Olek
