These styles I think are very interesting, and so is the discussion about Chinese character (lettering) graffiti.
The translation needs some work, but ever since Google allowed everyone to correct translations, their tool has really improved.

Germany, Ingolstadt: Aug 29-Sept 9, 2010: La Grande Schmierage
» LA GRANDE SCHMIERÂGE 2 - The exhibition «
Documentation of the international graffiti meeting
»La Grande Schmierâge« is an international graffiti meeting at Ingolstadt, more precisely: at the local Hall of Fame, the railway underpass at Unsernherrn.
On June 12th and 13th 2010, more than 60 writers created 250 meters of art. And naturally all those artworks will be painted over with new ones sooner or later. But those festival-days made formidable paintings appear, and so La Grande Schmierâge will be enjoyed again in a celebratory exhibition.
From August 19 - September 9, fotos of all the productions will be shown in the foyer of Sparkasse Ingolstadt - along with a movie produced by Gerfried Guggi (www.a38.at).
The Schmierâge clearly shows that the formula of 60 writers + 250 meters has proved itself. That is why this graffiti meeting has become a biannual festival. See you in 2012!
For an even faster reunion with artwork by Loomit, SatOne, Suiko, Wow123, Dems and many more we kindly invite you to the foyer of Sparkasse Ingolstadt on August 19th at 7pm.

NY, East Hampton: Aug 14 - Sept 26, 2010: Down by Law
From the international notoriety of Shepard Fairey, to the success of films like Exit through the Gift Shop and Radiant Child, to fashion that appropriates street iconography, graffiti and street art are massively influential in popular culture today. But while this work is enjoying a resurgence of popularity, many of the original artists remain unrecognized.
"Down By Law" showcases rarely seen works by the pioneers of the NYC based graffiti and underground art scene. On view are seminal pieces from the key artists of this genre—some of whom achieved international fame, others who remained relatively anonymous, and still others who died prematurely. These artists' "billboard masterpieces" and "moving murals" defined a generation and reshaped the way people have related to pop culture, public art, and urban aesthetics ever since.
Highlights include:
• Paintings by Coco 144, whose work in the early 1970s earned him the title "The Marcel Duchamp of graffiti subculture."
• Rarely seen canvases from the early 1980s by style master Dondi White, who by age 22 had had seven solo exhibitions and whose painting was in several European museum collections.
• Zephyr's animation sequence frames for Charlie Ahearn's iconic film, Wild Style.
• Original drawings from "Yo! MTV Raps", plus original logo designs for the Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, and the Cold Chillin' record label.
"Down By Law" will also include photos and contemporary art that gives context to this period: subway car photos by Henry Chalfant, rarely seen portraits of Jean-Michel Basquiat by Michael Halsband, plus new work from old graffiti masters, such as Mare 139's steel sculptures of two dimensional graffiti motifs, Sharp's sexualized mixed-media collages, and canvases by Blade, Lady Pink and Eric Haze.
"So much of contemporary art and culture is indebted to this genre," says Mare 139. "This survey helps chart the historical relevance of, and diffuses the prejudices about, what was once considered a marginalized outsider art form."
Exhibiting Artists include: Charlie Ahearn, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Blade, Henry Chalfant, Coco 144, Joe Conzo, Martha Cooper, Cope 2, Daze, Dr. Revolt, John Fekner, Cousin Frank aka Ghost, Michael Halsband, Keith Haring, Eric Haze, Keo, Eric Kroll, Lady Pink, Greg LaMarche, Chris Pape aka Freedom, Rammellzee, Carlos "Mare 139" Rodriguez, Anita Rosenberg, Sharp aka Aaron Goodstone, Jamel Shabazz, T-kid 170, Dondi White, and Zephyr. Additional artists to be announced!

China, Shanghai: December 18 - ?, 2010: Miss Van
MISS VAN
，出生于1973年法国图卢兹双胞胎姐妹。1990年，当她十八岁还是艺术学校学生的时候，她就发现了在她们小镇发展相当不错的涂鸦艺术。“在街上画画”
变得很自然。这是我平常习惯抵制传统艺术环境的最好的方法。起初，你也许会说我有点叛逆的心。不是传统的签字和标签，她选择了女性化的靶纸，这给予她坚定
地信念要坚持下去。刚开始，
我的洋娃娃都是自己画的肖像。对于涂鸦来说这是太狂妄自大了，而不是简单的写写名字之类的，我用我的洋娃娃来代言本人。
MISS VAN 已开始在街上画画，她被认为是新生代的象征，她的街头艺术魅力给她创造了1999年人生第一次艺术展。当时她只有26岁。
MISS VAN
的艺术生涯在很大程度上都是典范。每次展览都给她灵感去创作新的系列，能够使她立足在独特的视觉，而且标新立异。她的作品在许多艺术画廊展出，例如：从巴
黎到旧金山，阿姆斯特丹、安特卫普、柏林、伦敦、米兰、斯德哥尔摩、纽约、洛杉矶、墨尔本等。她还受邀参加许多国际项目。例如：德国Kunsthalle
de Wuppertal举办的活动，英国 Baltic 艺术中心举办的活动等。
MISS VAN
的作品很多涉及到女性人物，被认为是她自身的自画像。她早期娃娃作品仅用简单的绘画线条构成，就像小孩子画的一般。这种形态简单而且圆润。后来，成名后又
添加了许多细节，线条变得更加的精炼，每幅作品都有隐藏的含义。MISS VAN
的绘画作品散发出天真浪漫的气质，她的作品犹如社会的明镜，反映出许多带有疑问的人物形象。

Austria, Vienna: June 25-Oct 10, 2010: From Basquiat to Séripop
From Basquiat to Séripop
KUNSTHALLE wien, hall 1,
June 25th - October 10th, 2010
"... and the streets look really good to me, they look like art... I wanted to paint the town red, paint the town black.”
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Downtown 81 (1981)
“Where only a highway view is the outside and its monotone mobility relaxes me glancing at it, while inside I am in motion to clean up the biggest mess of multidimensional accidents on my paintings – and this is this Brooklyn studio.”
Rita Ackermann (2010)
With its major summer exhibition Street and Studio the Kunsthalle Wien brings the rough style of the street into the exhibition hall. Urbanity and mobility characterize a contemporary generation of artists who regard the metropolis both as their source of inspiration and means of expression: the US painter Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose work constitutes a landmark for various forms of painting and video art relating to urban or suburban cultures, provides the center of gravity for the show. From this starting-point, the presentation unfolds a network of positions that share a vitality induced by the street and urbanity and spans from the results of Basquiat’s productive collaboration with other artists such as Andy Warhol, Francesco Clemente, or Keith Haring to works by younger artists like Rita Ackermann or Séripop. Having never ceased to pervade pop culture since its emergence, this subversive pictorial language tells of the quest for identity, political responsibility, the commercialization of public space, and the fight for survival caused by social injustice.
With 32 artistic positions from 19 nations the show adresses both art historical key figures such as Blek le Rat, Jenny Holzer, or Sophie Calle and contemporary artists from Kader Attia and Brad Downey, Christian Eisenberger, Basim Magdy, and Ari Marcopoulos to Evan Roth and Rita Vitorelli, who are represented by new works created for the exhibition.
Curators: Cathérine Hug, Thomas Mießgang
Participating artists:
Rita Ackermann, Charlie Ahearn, Eric Andersen, Kader Attia, Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Dara Birnbaum, Blek le Rat, BLU, Sophie Calle, Francesco Clemente, Jane Dickson, Brad Downey, Christian Eisenberger, Futura, Dani Gal, Ingo Giezendanner (GRRRR), Shaun Gladwell, Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, Mark Jenkins, Leopold Kessler, Lady Pink, Sol LeWitt, Basim Magdy, Ari Marcopoulos, miz JUSTICE, Ramm:ell:zee, Robin Rhode, Evan Roth, Séripop, Rita Vitorelli, Andy Warhol

By providing visibility to showcase young artists and the most different expressions of creativity, Areapergolesi opens to the city and aims to become a "home" (which is conceptually understood as a place for man to be socially and culturally) for all creative artists and the reality that Milan do not have available space in which to achieve their work, shows them to the public and disseminate it, to finally give shape to their ideas but also to be together to share experience and new and interesting activities. Confirmed as exhibition point in the city, the area of Areapergolesi is also a gathering place for meetings and to encourage collaborations between artists and designers, to attend performances, shows, cinema, exhibitions, concerts and a close-to become promoters' initiatives and work together to find the methods most suited to carry out projects.

Breve descrizione di Areapergolesi:
Areapergolesi è una location metropolitana dal sapore post-industriale mutevole e trasformista così come la scena contemporanea. La nostra ambizione è di offrire alla città uno spazio realmente polifunzionale, ricreativo e coinvolgente, animato quotidianamente dalle persone che lo abitano e da tutti coloro vogliano convivere su questa nuova piattaforma. Lo spazio di Areapergolesi, di 550 mq, è il luogo dentro il quale trovano asilo le più diverse esperienze che nascono e si sviluppano come risposta alla necessità di espressività, comunicazione e innovazione attraverso la diffusione dei linguaggi della contemporaneità.
Nell'offrire una vetrina di visibilità ai giovani artisti e alle più diverse espressioni della creatività, Areapergolesi si apre alla città e si propone di divenire una "casa" (concettualmente intesa come luogo che forma l'uomo sia socialmente sia culturalmente) per tutti i creativi e gli artisti della realtà milanese che non hanno a disposizione uno spazio in cui realizzare le proprie opere, mostrarle al pubblico e diffonderle, per poter finalmente dare concretezza alle loro idee ma anche per stare insieme condividendo esperienze e attività sempre nuove e interessanti. Confermandosi come aerea espositiva nel cuore della città, lo spazio di Areapergolesi è anche un luogo di aggregazione per favorire incontri e collaborazioni tra artisti e creativi, per assistere a performance, spettacoli, cineforum, mostre, concerti e conoscerci da vicino per divenire promotori d'iniziative e trovare insieme le formule più adatte per realizzare progetti. Tutte le attività di Areapergolesi (Teatro, Danza, Musica, Cinema, Video Arte, Arti Figurative, Grafica,Nuove tecnologie di comunicazione) si svolgono all'insegna della più calda contemporaneità ponendosi parallelamente come costante riflessione e ricerca nel campo della tecnica e delle arti visuali e performative.
Areapergolesi si propone di rimuovere le barriere fisiche, temporali, burocratiche ed economiche per permettere si trasformare le "possibilità" in realtà, nel segno dell'innovazione, della contaminazione e dell'interdisciplinarietà, fungendo da catalizzatore tra gli artisti e il pubblico.
Areapergolesi: uno spazio che da spazio alle tue idee!

HURLEY's )( SPACE presents an exhibition
of a continuous mural on canvas
by artist James Marshall aka "Dalek"
August 4, 2010 - August 27, 2010
James Marshall - known as Dalek - will present a solo art exhibit with one 37-foot continuous wall mural, at the Hurley )( SPACE gallery in Costa Mesa, CA.

Earlier this year, Dalek, collaborated with skate-surf brand, Hurley, on a pair of custom board shorts featuring the artist's iconic multicolored geometric prints. Early in his career, Dalek was roommates with Kris Markovich, a Hurley team skateboarder, thus becoming familiar and close with the Hurley brand. In the years to follow, Dalek has grown to become an accomplished and respected artist with a very known and recognizable style. Last summer he was commissioned to create a 10ft x 22ft site specific painting for Hurley's now infamous 225 Forest concept store, which is home to the Nike 6.0, Converse and Hurley brands. The commissioned painting led to Dalek becoming an ambassador for Hurley, and now his artwork and designs can be seen throughout the Hurley brand.
The artist focuses the piece on an 8-foot high, 37-foot continuous wall mural comprised of hyper-abundance color and planes of space painted canvas from 75 pantone colors. The painting will be offered for sale by the foot and cut out and framed on demand during the opening. The painting will be offered for $200 per square foot in the following square dimensions:
2' x 2' foot
