BREAKING NEWS:

So it turns out the show as listed below was unfortunately canned (no pun intended). Apparently funding was withdrawn.  
That didn't stop Revok who took the opportunity to get up only before finding himself snapped... 

on his way to the airport! 

It seems technology was his downfall in the end.   

Watch for yourself:

Last Sunday night at 8.30pm there was an interesting documentary on ABC2 called Guerilla Art.

If you missed it: This Sunday on ABC1 at 3.00pm they will be replaying it.

According to the blurb, 

"A new generation of international street artists are 

the  latest hot property for galleries, art collectors and big advertising brands." 

Well I am not sure you would credit artists like Futura 2000, Ramm:ell:zee, Blek le Rat, or Os Gemeos as a "new generation" but regardless... it's not every night you flick on the television and are blessed by their presence. 
It's filmed in New York, London, Paris, Sao Paulo and Tokyo and with the help of Agnes B and art curator Jerome Sans, takes a look at survival from an artist's point of view.  Everything from selling limited-edition prints to clothing designs and record labels, vinyl toys and logos. 

For the most part I found it really interesting.

It wasn't groundbreaking in that there wasn't anything entirely new... although it was worth it to see the suit Space Invader gets around in.
