The 30th of July, is our 3rd birthday and to celebrate we've invited artists from each of the countries we visited on the tour to exhibit in an international group show. The exhibition will encompass work from illustrators, graffiti, street and graphic artists from Poland, Belgium, Germany and England. A selection of these artists, including Inkie and Insa will paint a large mural in the archway that flanks the gallery and the documentary film shot on the tour will be premiered.

Artists exhibiting include Inkie, Insa, Pener, 1010, Veuch, Chazme (artwork above), Sepe (artwork above), and Swanksi.

So exciting, just can't wait!

Latest work from Agents of Change....

Fool's Gold opened last night, was amazing, show looks brilliant and so many folk visited, was quality night, thanks for all the positive vibes along the way and all the support from everyone. What a blast. Only 20 hours driving to do before its all over and we're back in Glasgow! Hannover next stop. See the photos from the opening here. Photo courtesy of Pigeon Promotions.

1st London Paint for Fool's Gold from Recoat on Vimeo.

Okay Insa got crazy busy in London and created two works before we left. Here is the first, the second will be up when we can catch our breath.
We left London this morning at 3am, shuttle to Calais, drove to Brussels, painted there, drove via Holland to Hannover where we can sleep at last! That's 5 countries in one day and 20 hours on the road. What a tour. Painting today rocked, wait till you see!

Sadly Inkie has been a bit under the weather so didn't make it for the paint today. But Insa created a-ma-zing work today. Londoners get searching! Here is a wee photo clue. We'll be loading up more pics and movies as we go. www.foolsgoldtour.com

Our final Mixtape for Fool's Gold from the mighty Supra1. Thanks guys! Listen here.

Co-Laboratory is our next exhibition at Recoat. It opens Friday 18th June 2010 7-10pm, it then runs till Sunday 25th July

Partnership and collaboration in the creation of art is fairly unusual due to the difficulty and compromises it involves. Yet “Co-Laboratory” is an entire show produced by no less than eight artist partnerships from all over the world. The show comprises of originals and prints that have an added layer of quality and intrigue due to being created by two talented individuals. Participants include Aitch and Saddo, Alto Contraste, Microbo and Bo130, Motel7 and Vinnie Nylon, Peskimo, Syrkus and Rekor, Tado, and The London Police.

Hope to see you there!

Rad.One on great form, mixtape here.

As you'll see from widget to your right, we are now fully fledged Twatters, so 'Follow' us there if you are yourself a Twatter too. See you there.

We just received our copy of Velo, featuring a couple of pages of artwork from our Spin on this show. As bike fans we are really pleased to be part of this project and if your into bikes or design on any level, this is a great collection of how one object can be interpreted in so many ways...

Go get it here!

Since we're just about to work with Insa again, thought this might interest a'b'dy....
