BBC unveils a look into Banksy’s latest art exhibition, taking place in Bristol, at the city’s museum on Queens Road. The show looks to feature over 70 new pieces along with a revision of Banksy’s Animal Shop which was seen last year in NYC. Expected to run for 12 weeks, the show will officially open Saturday June 13th, 2009. More hots from the show here: http://hypebeast.com/2009/06/banksy-2009-summer-show-bristol/

Back in 2005, WACTAC had the opportunity to hang out with Ed Templeton before his Artist Talk. Unfortunately, it isn’t posted on channel.walkerart.org. but we’ll try to get the video up sometime soon. Skateboarding and art has always been intertwined and Ed has been at the center of it for 20 years. Although I have a moral objection to skateboarding being featured as a “sport,” I’ll be the first to admit that ESPN.com did an incredible highlighting the life of Ed. Check out the video and interview.

The Walker’s summer teen workshop, Fake It, For Real, has started and the students are doing some pretty cool things. Largely based on film, video, and new media, the workshop is led  by  Tectonic Industries duo Lars Jerlach and Helen Stringfellow. The workshop kicked off with introductions, an awesome tour of the Tectonic Industries studio, and the first assignment, a potrait without self. 

The following class day, the students brought in the projects and we looked at what everyone had made. Drawings, videos, animations and photography were just a few of the different mediums the teens worked with. Looking at contemporary artists whose work addresses the same ideas, both in the galleries and books, allowed them to get inspired for further investigating their projects. That day ended with a work time to start the next project using video cameras, cell phones, voice recorders, and other neat technologies.
