Invader recently completed his first invasion wave of Toulouse, with Ten space invaders made with various shades of pink as a tribute to the town nicknamed ‘Pink City’ due to the pinkish terracotta bricks used in its architecture.. Toulouse is the 66th city to be invaded and Flash Invaders game lovers will add 330 Points to their total score. Happy hunting !

For the exhibition ‘City Lights’ at the MIMA Museum in Brussels, the artistic duo Faile have covered the internal walls of the museum with their stencils similarly like they have been doing on the New York streets for the past 15 years.
The lavatories adorn their signature narrative imagery and characters.
Initially shown in the center of Times Square last autumn, a huge wooden sculptural installation with a spinning prayer wheel looks like a temple with consumerism slogans. The public eagerly interact with the installation and play with the wheel.
The adjacent walls feature two panels with juxtaposed imagery engraved in wood.
Wandering on the nearby streets of the museum, we were pleased to stumble upon a few stencils by the infamous artistic duo.
