In 1984 the legendary Keith Haring traveled Down Under and painted a mural in Collingwood as a gift to the city of Melbourne. The mural is currently in a sorry state(see below) – but luckily there is a project in the works to resurrect a very important piece of history for both Melbourne and Street Culture globally.

Reblogged from Artinfo….

According to a report in the L.A. Times, legendary street artist Space Invader was detained in Los Angeles last Friday. Invader, known for his colorful mosaics inspired by the classic arcade game from which he takes his name, is believed to have been one of two French nationals detained by the LAPD on suspicion of vandalism. A cousin of Thierry Guetta, aka Mr. Brainwash, Space Invader is a French citizen who keeps his identity secret, pixellating his face in video footage and photography.

The police claim to have caught the two taggers near Los Angeles MOCA in Little Tokyo, hanging out by a historic building with buckets of grout and some tile pieces. The duo have been released while the investigation continues, but a police spokesman said that after they were let go, Invader’s trademark mosaics were discovered attached to several other buildings, including MOCA’s Geffen Contemporary.

MOCA, of course, is hosting the epic street art celebration “Art in the Streets,” which features numerous works by Space Invader (the museum is even selling Space Invader keychains for $7). The artist’s personal Web site, meanwhile, features a digital floor plan of MOCA’s space, evidently illustrating the locations of Invader pieces placed placed around the exhibition. Clicking on the icons on the map opens a video that seems to show the artist placing one of his blue-tiled mosaics somewhere in the scaffolding above the “Art in the Street” galleries, as security guards walk by beneath.

As an icon of Graffiti, Andre has had a huge impact of street art and our culture, in recent times, the french artist has become more iconic as a fashion and lifestyle figure, possibly more than for his art even.

Here’s a look behind the scenes as he prepares his limited run of prints which are currently available through Eyestorm in black and pink versions for $715 per print.
