THE LONDON POLICE

"When we learned that Bob and Chaz, the two founding members of The London Police back in 1998, were joining forces once again, we were absolutely thrilled.

For the past week Bob and Chaz have been in Brooklyn, working on a massive canvas for a local collector (shown above).

If this is any indication of what's to come from TLP in 2009, its going to be a very good year for them. Look out for shows in London and Amsterdam shows in April and May respectively."

DEATH VAN

"Wie in China de doodstraf krijgt, kan gewoon thuis wachten tot de Death Van komt langsrijden. Een lugubere service.

Om te bewijzen dat het wel snor zit met de mensenrechten in China, besloot de regering af te stappen van de kogel en over te stappen op de lethal injection. Daar hoef je bovendien de deur niet meer voor uit.

De Death Van komt gewoon langs om de veroordeelde er zijn laatste cocktail in toe te dienen. De fabrikant heeft een glimmende brochure in het Chinees en in het Engels voor hun vehikel uitgegeven. Veertig zijn er ondertussen al in gebruik door de Chinese overheid.

Amnesty International verdenkt hen ervan de organen van veroordeelden te verkopen. De Death Van zou dat een stuk makkelijker maken."

KAWS AT CBS NEWS

"Yesterday on CBS News, Charles Osgood’s Sunday Morning will feature a piece on KAWS and his recent exhibition at Gering & López.

He’s one of the hottest names in the art world … and he has an unusual name to be sure, KAWS. After making his name in the graffiti world in the 1990s in Jersey City, KAWS left that life behind and started to paint canvases and design products. With his bright colors and clean, crisp lines, his work is perfection to many fans. Many musicians have taken note: Hip-Hip mogul Pharrell Williams has filled his Miami home with KAWS’ work. Kanye West asked KAWS for colorful designs for his latest album cover.

Working from a small Brooklyn studio, the shy 34-year-old has also created products with massive brands, including Nike, Lucasfilm and Marc Jacobs. KAWS’ rising star has now led to high-profile solo shows in art galleries in New York, Miami, and an upcoming show in Los Angeles. KAWS talks to correspondent Serena Altschul and steps out of his studio to meet the fans."
