The MADE team from Berlin is currently in Miami for Art Basel and Design Miami. We will follow them on their footsteps through out the week, as they discover the city, check out the latest exhibitions, meet some artists and more. First up is their visit to the Wynwood Walls project, which originally opened its doors in 2009.

“Murals by renowned street artists have covered the walls of the Wynwood Walls complex since 2009, and to create more canvases and bring more artists to the project, Tony opened the Wynwood Doors in 2010 with 176 feet of roll-up storefront gates. The Wynwood Walls has brought the world’s greatest artists working in the graffiti and street art genre to Miami. Jeffrey Deitch co-curated the first successful year of the project in 2009.”

In the mean time a lot more artists have come through and added their unique art to the district.

After JR, Kenny Scharf, Keith Haring, Shepard Fairey, Barry McGree and others, it was now the turn of artistic collective Faile to paint the mural on Bowery and Houston Street in New York. The Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller gave the large size mural a nice all-over comic strip look.

Ron English just finished a beautiful large scale mural in the Miami Wynwood district. The mural features some of his most popular characters. Furthermore he completes the work with a couple of sculptures and creates an entire world by including the floor into the mural.

Os Gemeos and Futura have nearly completed their “Giant Project” in New York City. Guided by AKANYC and 12ozProphet the large scale mural mates signature characters and techniques from both Futura and Os Gemeos. The artist that appears in the photos below is Gustavo. His partner Otavio was busy up in the cherry picker when we stopped by. They hope to have this piece finished by the end of the week.

The famous mural space on Houston in New York City is once again getting a make-over. After Keith Haring and Os Gemeos, Shepard Fairey is painting the mural to go a long with his exhibition at Deitch Projects, opening May Day. Via WC.

Currently on display at SoHo’s legendary Deitch Projects is Keith Haring’s 70-foot-long mural painted in 1985 for the South of Market Childcare Center (SOMACC) in San Francisco.

“The mural is one of 16 public works painted at hospitals and children’s centers around the world during the artist’s lifetime. Painted in one day, the mural incorporates cartoon characters and animals inspired by the artist’s childhood drawings. When SOMACC lost its lease and moved to a new location in September 2006, the mural was dismantled and is now on view for the first time outside of San Francisco.”

On display at Deitch until February 16th, 2010.
