Robert Lepage Goes Massive in Quebec City

Bunge Grain complex in Quebec City is made up of 81 individual silos 30 meters tall. In celebration of Quebec’s 400th Anniversary, artist Robert Lepage used the complex as a screen for an incredible site-specific motion picture called The Image Mill. The film tells the story of Quebec’s 400 years through video, pictures, and sound. I expected a cheesy patriotic movie. But what I saw was subtle and elegant. The video, which shows 10 minutes of the 40 minute film, gives a good idea of what the movie was like. It shows how Lepage made innovative use of the contours of the silos, turning them into bullets, candles, a printing press, cigarettes, etc, and how he turned the entire complex into other kinds of buildings completely, such as a factory and an airport.

Obey Obama

Shephard Fairey created the poster for the support of Obama.

One of three original works, which is mixed media stencil collage on a 4 x 6 foot cotton rag paper. Fairey donated this piece to Russell Simmons's Art for Life Auction, with proceeds going toward a different good cause, the Rush Philanthropic Art Foundation.

UNDEFEATED Bill Boards and Radio?

The Undefeated Billboard Project is a unique collaboration between Undefeated, Aaron Rose and Nike. Perched above the Undefeated location on La Brea in Los Angeles, California the Undefeated Billboard Project is a reflection of our store and the culture it represents.

It takes the work of both fine artist and street artist and places it in an area where it normally wouldn't be displayed. This collaborative effort lends for a stunning addition to the visual landscape of Los Angeles.
