The 500 Festival, a new art and music festival is coming to Shoreditch this October and promised to entertain you all day and night and showcase of some of the most talked about DJ talent on the festival scene and an array of artistic gems.

The art line up will include Mikel Kruminswill, the up and coming Scottish designer who had worked for the last 5 years or so as a designer in the creative industry and who will be exhibiting a project specifically for The 500.
Another artist that will probably worth seeing is Raoul Simpson, a self taught lighting / video artist who is as passionate about art as he is technology. Raoul’s works includes lighting designs within the entertainment industry as well as interactive public art installations
Holly Foskett-Barneswill on the other hand will certainly impress us with her rice sculptures made of 500 grains of rice while Nicholas Harvey installation and three dimensional sculptural work and especially his glass sculptures should wake our senses.
On the music level, Grammy nominated (The Garden) Zero 7will be headlining The 500 with a DJset. The Zero 7 gents are well known for their work with artists such as Sia, José González, Mozez and Sophie Barker.

Fidel Castro, Cuba
Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz (August 13, 1926 – November 25, 2016) was a Cuban politician and revolutionary who governed the Republic of Cuba for 47 years as Prime Minister from 1959 to 1976 and then as President from 1976 to 2006 (de jure until 2008).
Politically a Marxist–Leninist and Cuban nationalist, he also served as the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba from 1961 until 2011. Under his administration, Cuba became a one-party socialist state; industry and business were nationalized, and state socialist reforms were implemented throughout society.
“Step in the arena” is just simply a huge gathering of graffiti artists in the Netherlands. And talent you have, a lot of it. Check out a selection of what has been dropped during the event.

We have all seen these handwritten flyers taped on bus stops or telegraph poles and for most of them if not all of them, they look rather boring and plain, aren’t they? This is what the New York designers at Cardon Copy must have thought and decided to do something about this.
This involves ‘high jacking’ these infamous fliers and give them a full make over in order to over powering their message with a new visual language. They are then stick back up where they were first snatched.
Art to help the community. Nice one.
See a few examples below

Wow, wow, wow. Get a very good quality camera and find a graffiti spot in Melbourne and this is what you get.
You could not say no to an exhibition where you would get to see pieces from artists such as Andy Warhol and Ed Ruscha without having to hop between venues across town, well you do not have to do that anymore – CRASH: homage to JG Ballard is that exhibition. Go now.
Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, big names on the menu as well as a good bunch of younger artists Glenn Brown or Jenny Saville. You look at the leaflet handed over to you earlier by the very friendly staff at Gagosian and you just do not know where to start.
Adam Mc Ewen’s Boeing 747 undercarriage ‘Honda Teen Facial’ in the entrance looks like it fell through the roof and sets the tone of what this exhibition will be about – provocative as was JG Ballard’s literature. Another large scale piece which immediately draws your attention is Richard Prince’s car model made of steel, plywood and Bondo. You look up and right there hing up on the wall is ‘Explosion’ by Roy Lichtenstein. Big names, big works. Continue reading CRASH: homage to JG Ballard at Gagosian gallery
Should you want to use deodorant cans to spray, here is how.
One of the best thing of a work do is to find myself stumbling around the streets of Shoreditch quite to very late at night and snap away the many graffitis or street art pieces I may encounter.
If you are even luckier, you may find yourself alone and this is the best bit as you get some kick-ass photographs as those I included below.
