Massive new releases and news from Brooklyn #streetart collective Faile
Faile has long been a favourite of ours, so we were especially happy to see them sign up with respected New York contemporary gallery Perry Rubenstein recently.
Today sees the announcement of a number of exciting things, starting with the fantastic new print and sculpture release as pictured over at Arrested Motion.
However, long-term collectors who have seen primary prices rise whilst secondary market prices have dropped will be particularly happy to see some of the other developments, not least the long rumoured linkup with Gagosian for a group show entitled "Meet Me Inside" opening January 15th at Gagosian Gallery in Los Angeles.
UK collectors and long-time fans will also be very excited about the announcement of a joint show with past Faile collaborator and fellow Brooklynite, Bast. The show hits London in February, no doubt via Lazarides.
Finally anybody lucky enough to be at Art Basel Miami, they also have some works on show with Perry Rubenstein.
Check out the photos of the new works at Arrested Motion:
Incredible #streetart from Belgiums 'nuclear ghost town', Doel #urbex
via flickr.com
This amazing capture is part of a set from street art photographer and urban exploration fanatic Romanywg, aka Jeremy Gibbs.
Doel hosts one of the two nuclear power plants in Belgium, and the town is currently is threatened with extinction due to ongoing development of the harbor of Antwerp, forcing many to sell their homes.
The town is home to some amazing street art, much of which carries a strong social/political message relating to the situation. Be sure to check out the rest of the photoset here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/romanywg/sets/72157622486267459/

The Liverpool Penguins
The Liverpool Penguins are coming... or rather they are here!!!
More than 100 six-foot birds will decorate the city centre in a public art event set to rival last year’s popular Go Superlambananas trail.
From mid-November, small groups of penguins will be on display for seven weeks in an effort to attract visitors and spread an eco-friendly message.
Artists are being invited to enter designs for the fibreglass penguins, with the winners chosen by businesses sponsoring the event for £3,000 a piece.
More than 50 schools have already signed up to adopt and decorate a 3ft penguin for £450 each.
They will be displayed in a city centre indoor venue and will be returned to the schools once the trail has finished.
Commissioned by Culture Liverpool, the event is being organised by Wild In Art, the team behind last year’s successful Go Superlambananas.
It is based around a story, written by former Culture Company vice-chairman Phil Redmond, in which a penguin called Patrick is rescued from the ocean by HMS Liverpool.
He said: “Penguins are cute and funny, and everywhere in popular culture.”
Designer Chris Wilkinson, who came up with the basic penguin shape in clay, said: “In the story, the penguins are from the Falklands, where there is a large range of different species, but we wanted these to be generic penguins.
“They are brought to Liverpool to see Patrick with the help of the Liver Birds. We wanted them to look young because Patrick is a teenager.”
Patrick, a rockhopper penguin with distinctive yellow eyebrows, will make his debut as a cartoon character before he is revealed to the public.
The initiative is a highlight of A Winter’s Trail, which runs from November to January.
