CC HQ

Went and visited the Cut Collective HQ for a chat and cup of tea (and to get some photos) while in Auckland. I was well impressed by the setup. It was good to see them working on future projects in the comfort of their own space.

Haha!

Thanks Cut Collective for being so hospitable and letting me rummage around in all your stuff.

Check their website HERE

I'll get back to the Wellington post's in the next few days.

Buff running it

I spent the weekend in Auckland. The weather was shit but Saturday proved fine in time to go hang with Cut Collective. One thing I have to say about Auckland is that there's more buff spots than Graf spots in the CBD. I also heard there was a full time sticker-scraper in the CBD so I only managed to get a few photos of a couple of random combos while there.

T sent some flicks through of the wall above which I posted a while back. The photo's I took don't really do the wall justice.

(didnt put a WWS logo on here as the OCHE got lost in it)

K'rd

I climbed this wall to get shots of the Graf above the carpark but got haggled by some drunk homeless dudes. Consequently the photos turned out crap HA!

Cut Collective on a doorway on K'rd. This work also appeared on Streetarse.co.nz

Saw a couple of familiar tags like Sluts, QST and a BH but couldn't decipher the squiggle above it though. If I had stayed longer I would have headed through the Kingsland and Morningside tracks but theres always next time!

Never thought I'd say this but I love Auckland.

Component on TV3

Did anyone catch the article on TV3 news about Cut Collective member Component recent court appearance?

I'd love to go on about how they lump aerosol artists into the TAGGER category after stating that they are GRAFFITI ARTISTS, then go on to call Cut Collective a group of Auckland taggers again. Hmmmmmmm

.....Good publicity for their Public Access exhibit though.

Check the link HERE and let me know what you think.

Cuba Street....

So fucking excited to see some fresh Cut Collective stens appearing all over town! It looks like they've been keeping themselves busy since their group show Common Ground at TheNewDowse last weekend which I heard was a pretty awesome. Go on over to NeonSleep's page to see some photos of the night...... Or check this article from tv3 interviewing Flox and Trustme. Thanks Gypsy!
