Crossing The Lines
Crossing Lines from Andrew Telling on Vimeo.
Shortly before I met Conor Harrington—he was getting up on a wall in Venice Beach before the Euro Trash group show last summer at Lazarides’ Beverly Hills pop-up space—the Irish-born painter went out to broker some peace in the Middle East. In his case, he was armed with an oil brush and a can of spray paint. “I was originally supposed to go to Beirut to paint a wall there but my contact out there bailed on me three weeks beforehand so I was left with time-off booked, a cameraman, and nowhere to go,” says Harrington, who quickly rerouted himself to Tel Aviv, Bethlehem, and Palestine. “I pulled off the Israel/West Bank trip in a matter of days — amazing what you can do with a few contacts.” Now, he’s offering a glimpse at how amazing the impromptu trip was (along with a dope soundtrack) in the short film Crossing The Lines.“I’m interested in the region, areas of conflict, and thought it would be really interesting to go and paint there,” he says. Despite the current chaos in the region, Harrington definitely misses one thing: the warm weather. ”I’m in a freezing studio in london trying to finish off a couple of commissions before jumping into work for my solo at Laz later this year.” That’s this fall, so keep your calendars open.

How To Sell A Banksy (Movie Trailer)
Banksy’s work now reportedly changes hands for millions. But he puts up his street art for free. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got your hands on one of these? Does it mean you’ve found a winning lottery ticket or just scraped some worthless crap off a wall?
Going up against the Art Establishment, Critics, Auction Houses, Gallery Owners and Authentication Boards in a quest for the elusive meal ticket, two filmmakers unwittingly gatecrash the murky and protective world of Banksy.
“HOW TO SELL A BANKSY” raises questions of ownership, authentication and the true value of art itself. Through all the chaos and incompetence comes a modern-day, true-story, crime-theft, comedy-caper.

KAWS X The Standard Light Bulbs
As KAWS describes, “I love The Standard and the different projects they have been doing. When invited to create something I wanted to redesign something basic that could be found in every hotel room in the world so we decided to make a light bulb. I like the low colored glow it gives, similar to a candle”.
