:: over the past few weeks we’ve been posting time-lapse videos of the live art performances from Search for Creative City (寻城记), an event that NeochaEDGE collaborated on with the Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC). Since the graffiti writers who participated in the event are pretty much the best Shanghai has to offer in terms of street-art, we pulled them all together in a single post for everyone to enjoy. Link here to see time-lapse videos of pieces by Dezio, Popil, Mr. Lan, SAIL, AEK, Lamian (拉面), Shier, and HKER.

:: my favorite Shanghai-based graffiti artists Dezio and Popil recently returned from Beijing, but not before they left their mark on 798, the capital’s preeminent art district. If you spot graffiti or urban art anywhere in China, please share it with me at , I’d like to document it. For more from Dezio or Popil on NeochaEDGE, link here or here, respectively. // AjS

:: Popil and Dezio did some painting this past weekend in a partially demolished building near the Moganshan Rd. art district with Artof Popof (also on ), a well-known French street artist who is visiting Shanghai. Popil sent me these photos this morning, saying: “然后一涂完, 从小朋友到大朋友都接二连三地ＰＥＥ在那里. 很搞笑.” Meaning: “As soon as we were done painting, little kids and adults come along one after another to pee on the lot. It was pretty funny.” Artof Popof did the dragon, Popil did the ladies and panda, and Dezio did the lettered pieces. Enjoy. // AjS

:: I’m confused. I spotted this bike at CROSSROADS, a small hipster fashion / accessories shop in Shanghai on Xin Le Rd., between Xiangyang Rd. and Donghu Rd. The bike appears to be branded Andre Tout Va Bien. Huh?
For those that don’t know, Andre is a well-known French street / graffiti artist who has been around since the mid-80s. Is he making bikes now or is this some kind of collaboration? Maybe it’s just a sticker. Anyone know more about this? Dezio, as always, please chime in. // AjS

:: over the weekend, Popil and DEZIO churned out their latest collaboration, this time on Moganshan Rd. in Shanghai.
Unfortunately, the photos below don’t do a great job of showing true scale, but these two pieces are huge – sizing up together at about 3.5 meters tall and 25 meters long. // AjS

:: I was just chatting with Popil on MSN and she was kind enough to send through a few of her latest graffiti pieces.
The first photo below was done in Shanghai on Moganshan Rd. The middle photo was done on Gulangyu Island (just off the coast of Xiamen city); a simple slapdash throw-up of Popil’s signature cat tag. The last photo shows Dezio doing a piece on the beach, also on Gulangyu Island. // AjS

:: I ran into Shanghai-based graffiti artist DEZIO today at the BLENDER: Digital Culture Festival; he was kind enough to gift me a very cool set of playing cards featuring photographs of his tags and pieces. Many of the pieces are from Shanghai or elsewhere in China, but the set also includes work he’s done around the world, including in France, Croatia, Germany, and other parts of Asia.
A creative, fun way to present one’s credentials. I was most impressed and appreciative. Have a look below. Thank you DEZIO. // AjS

:: the ridiculously talented Spanish graffiti artist Suso33 was recently in Shanghai as part of a Spanish consulate organized event called: Arte Urbano en Accion (Urban Art in Action). Yesterday I shot this photo of the display window at the Spanish consulate, showing some examples of Suso33’s well-known shadow people figures.
During his visit, Suso33 met up with local street artists DEZIO and Popil for an evening of graffiti near Dongtai Rd. See below for the results. Superb. I don’t think these buildings / walls are still standing. // AjS
Photos via Popil (here and here) and Dezio’s Flickr photostream.
