My friend Adrián (with whom I did that toy exhibition about a year ago - check it out here) just openned a bar located downtown Madrid (C/ Minas nº1). It’s called Picnic and there are big plans for the place, such as art exhibitions (more on this later I’m sure…) and unplugged shows in the basement! All the best for this great project!

Wherever you are in Madrid, you end up seeing a huge throw up by Neko! His presence is undeniable: you just have to open your eyes and look above. Actually, it’s all over: on sidewalks, on windows, on buses… fuck, his name even was on the door of my first appartment! But Neko doesn’t limit himself to writing his name. His approach to art is much more complex than one would think. The man has a vision, a raw and straight in your face vision of how graffiti and urban art can improve the city. He believes in the principles and values he learnt from the streets and will simply never sell out: he’s on a mission.

Neko recently openned a great bookstore/gallery, La Santa, located right downtown in Madrid. I had the pleasure to have a look at his new exhibition he created inside the store: Modus Vivendi. The thematic is obvious: raw shit, or how to destroy private property. Enjoy, I’ll try to soon post pictures of his work in the streets.
