Nativity Scene Festival in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

I took a walk by the Lagoon and bumped into some artistic scenes depicting Jesus´s first moments. Rio de Janeiro is filled up with 40 different nativity scenes designed by carioca artists. The initiative was included in the Guiness Book and it was released and advertised in the whole world.

Here is the Spanish CNN channel talking about it:

Rinpa Eshidan

The Rinpa Eshidan core team is made up of Noiz-Davi, Daisuke Yamamoto, D.H.Rosen, Akari Sasai and XOLA . The group's main activities are performing in live-art events and creating videos of art in action.

As per their site, "instead of focusing on the finished project, we believe the process of creation itself is where art comes to life and our videos and live art aim to engage our audience in that process. Many people ask us how we can stand to erase the artwork we have worked so hard to create, but our focus is on the process of making art, not the end result. The good news is that the videos we make become a permanent record of the spontaneous artworks created during the filming."

Check out the videos:

Banksy - street artist

This is one artist I totally love. His art is controvertial, political and critical. Acording to Wikipedia, Banksy is a pseudonymous British graffiti artist. He is believed to be a native of Yate, South Gloucestershire, near Bristol and to have been born in 1974, but his identity is unknown. Some people asserts that Banksy's work is simply vandalism. In 2004, Banksy hung a painting of the Monalisa with a yellow smiley face at Louvre.

    

   

   

   

   

Banksy has several books and, recently, he released his first film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

Ever since I saw a book of his works, I feel in love with his street art. I think is uneasy and funny!
