London: VNA 16 Launch Party

September 10, 2011 butterfly

Thursday 8th September saw the launch of the eagerly awaited issue 16 of Very Nearly Almost magazine. The new issue features Invader, Chu, Dead Sea Mob, Kid Zoom, Will Barras, as well as street photos from different cities. I was happy to contribute and discover interviews from the different artists.

This time, a special VNA 16 limited edition with a screenprinted cover has been signed by Invader. The pack also contains a series of VNA/Invader stickers, within a shiny silver screenprinted enveloppe. No wonder a growing crowd started to queue from the early afternoon at Pictures on Walls to get one of the 80 from the special edition made available for the launch party.

Here are some pics from the release party:

For the “Border Line” show at Signal Gallery, C215 is exhibiting his stencils together with photographer Jeremy Gibbs aka RomanyWG.

C215 new body of work is exploring the imagery of the artist Caravaggio, and his dramatic and intensely troubled world on the edge of sanity.

Since the past 5 years, RomanyWG has been documenting street art and graffiti and recently joined the ‘Urbex community’ with its exploration of abandoned buildings and industrial facilities. RomanyWG is showing photographs both from C215’s ‘Community Service’ book and also his recently released ‘Out of Sight’ Urban Art/Abandoned Spaces book.
