Cannot wait for this. Here’s some blurb from the press release:

As the ‘art or vandalism’ debate continues, this December the Londonewcastle Project Space will host RareKind London’s ‘3 Decades’ exhibition, celebrating 30 years of London graffiti art.

Running from 5 – 12 December 2009, the artwork will be exhibited according to decade showcasing exclusive art work, photographs and memorabilia from the ‘pioneers’ of the art form in the 80’s, following a linear history through to the 90’s ‘masters’ and on to the 00’s and the ‘new blood’ artists.

3 Decades is the largest and most comprehensive show of its kind to ever be exhibited in London.  It will include canvases and affordable prints by over 30 artists including Eine, Zomby, Prime, Roid, Tox, RT London, David Samuel as well as many more of London’s inimitable artists who have painted, sequestered in the shadows for more than thirty years, yet inadvertently changed the face of London’s urban art scene forever.

Since its emergence in the early 80’s, graffiti in the UK has developed into a compelling art form, cultivating the talents of artists from all walks of life and steadily changing the public’s perception of this ‘cloak and dagger’ movement.

Kindly Sponsored by Londonewcastle who donated the project space and Dephect Clothing who have produced a limited edition 3 Decades t-shirt on sale at www.dephect.com.

3 Decades will be open daily from 5-12 December 2009 from 11.00am to 7.00pm at Londonewcastle Project Space, 28 Redchurch Street, E2 7DP

Stolen Space welcome Miss Van, renowned female street artist, for her first UK solo show (her largest solo show to date), ‘Lovestain’ , tomorrow evening. A combination of retrospective and new works will spread through Stolen Space’s usual space into the adjacent Dray Walk Gallery.

Head down there between 6-9pm for a free Tiger beer and a chance to have the first look at what will undoubtedly be a memorable show from a legend of the game. If you can’t make tomorrow night though, the show will be on until October 18.

To coincide with the show two prints (pics below) will be released at the private view but also through princesasmarket.com

Newest piece from Inkfetish at the new Mutate Britain

“THE SAME BUT DIFFERENT” is an exclusive collaboration between Maharishi, LX One and Remi/Rough

Remi/Rough and LX One have been discussing and planning various projects for the past 5 years now, since a chance meeting in Strasbourg in 2004. ‘The same but different’ is the meeting of two very different yet strangely similar ideals coming together as one. The use of iconic images like ‘the arrow’, and the minimal palette of simply black and white. It’s THE SAME, BUT DIFFERENT!

This is a BIG look, and UKSA certainly agrees… ONLY available from RZO Store

Not UK but we thought what Portugal’s Cabracega Studio have done with this project, entitled All City, was pretty interesting. Below is some blurb from the studio regarding this particular project but you can catch more from Cabracega here.

“Within the graffiti context, All City intends to re-interpret some of the most classical Portuguese porcelain sets: the nobility of classical shapes were re-invented with improbable graffiti motifs, based on a contemporary urban language.

It’s intended to confront two different places and times. On one hand, we have the elegant quality of porcelain – represented by the table sets and decorative objects, taking us back to a different timeframe. On the other hand, there is graffiti as an art form and a way for contemporary urban intervention, which aims to promote new perspectives over cityscapes.”
