Betting on our Muses

Betting On Our Muses brings together artists far and near, and includes respected members of the graffiti community such as Jher, Emit, King 157, Shandu, Natoe, Man, Make, Retna, and many more. The critic, Shana Nys Dambrot, was selected as the juror for her impartial, outsider status relative to the artists and their movement. She has been instructed to assess the drawings as she would any work of art. The exhibition is sponsored in part by All City League, All Nation Magazine, Crewest Gallery, Elevated Magazine, Hollywood Arts Council, Myspace.com, The Seventh Letter and Strathmore Paper.

“June 13”

Dr Romanelli and Jose Parla

Arrive, the new South Beach boutique that blends designer labels with a street aesthetic, is to play host to June 13 – the collaborative project between renowned underground artists Dr Romanelli and Jose Parla.

June 13 is currently on display in Tokyo at LVMH’s Celux, the ultra-exclusive, members only luxury boutique. The show will make its Miami debut on December 3, 2005, during the international art fair Art Basel Miami Beach, and will remain on display at Arrive for one month. Arrive’s owners, Dao-Yi Chow, Max Pierre, and Dennis Jiu will host a party at the shop to kick off the show, with an after-party at Miami hot spot Privè, later that evening.

The exhibit, June 13 signifies more than the shared birthday of both designers, but also represents a collaboration of two creative minds. Dr. Romanelli is a collector of vintage fashion, and an artist. He made a name for himself worldwide by designing high end, one of a kind fashion pieces made by reworking vintage and luxury fashion pieces for brands like Swiss watch maker Jaeger LeCoultre, and the Paris boutique Colette. LA’s B-Boy culture figures prominently in his work. Jose Parla was a part of the same B-boy underground movement while growing up in Miami. In his paintings he seeks to replicate the deterioration of walls and surfaces from cities around the world. For June 13 Parla uses Romanelli’s collection of vintage leather jackets as canvases on which to paint. Leather hoodies, bags by Mondet and sunglasses by Dita are used as canvases for the installation all based around Arrive’s world travel concept. All of the art on display at Arrive will be for sale.

FUMED: Meditations on Urban Aesthetics

FUMED is not an attempt to “gallerize” Graffiti in its true form rather it focuses on the conceptual exercise in which artists examine their artistic transformation upon the introduction of Graffiti into their studio practice. The fusion that occurs between these two camps generates a crossbreed of hybrid aesthetics which constructs a visual language that leads to a distinct and idealistic identity.

Artists: Jessica Aiken, Victor A. Lopez, Nino Rodriguez, Mike Genovese

"Who is Bozo Texino?"

texino.jpg

Daniel's 56min documentary on the secret history of hobo and railworker graffiti is called Who is Bozo Texino? Shooting over a period of 16 years, Daniel rode freights across the West, gathering interviews and clues to the identities of many of the most legendary boxcar artists while discovering a vast underground folkloric practice that has existed for over a century. This gritty black and white documentary tells the mostly-factual account of the epic quest and unlikely discovery of railroading's most mysterious artist.

Also screening:
Waldo Point by Saul Rouda, 1970, 20 min. A stoned and song-filled documentary shot in Sausalito's hippie houseboat community.
Britton S. Dakota by Vanessa Renwick, 2004, 7 min. Depression-era children are hypnotized by the camera in this re-discovered imagery from 1938.

Kronk

"Birmingham city is going through something of a regeneration recently. We're not talking about the main shopper drags but away from there - on lampposts in the Digbeth area or the abandoned warehouses by the canal in Ladywood, an alien presence is felt.

If you've seen a flowing piece of art which is simultaneously organic and futuristic attached to a grey dowdy building or brightening up a grey street or subway, chances are you're looking at a Mister Jinpow piece.

Mister Jinpow's show Kronk beams down on the 19th November."

ANDREA'S STORY:

In September, while painting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Andrea began experiencing excruciating pain in her abdomen. Her friends rushed her to a hospital where she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Doctors had no choice but to immediately operate. Andrea bravely underwent surgery to keep the cancer from spreading further. She is now with her family in Chile, remaining in high spirits and gaining strength for six months of possible chemotherapy. The treatments and medications will cost tens of thousands of dollars. In Chile, this is an astronomical amount of money that no one can afford. We have pledged to raise money so that Andrea, at age 24, has the chance to beat this.

ACB is an independent artist from Valparaiso,Chile, who works with young people and artists throughout Chile, Brasil, France, and the US. Collectively they work on mural projects that promote social justice and communal self-determination. Since first visiting the US in 2002, Andrea has also worked closely with a variety of grassroots organizations including: Sista II Sista, The Education Alliance, Voices Her'd, and The Point.

Entrée libre. Exposition présentée jusqu'au 4 novembre.

Vernissage de l'exposition "The Nasty Terrible T-kid 170 » Le 22 octobre à la Médiathèque de Pessac.
Entrée libre, exposition présentée jusqu'au 4 novembre.

Performance graffiti de T-Kid et des Full colors - Le 22 et 23 octobre

Présentation exceptionnelle et en avant prémiére du livre de Tkid "The Terrible Nasty T-Kid 170" et deux ouvrages inédits des photos de Martha Cooper. Disponibles sur le marché en novembre 2005

T-Kid

Est de ces personnages qui comptent dans l‚histoire du graffiti.

Aujourd‚hui la quarantaine, il a traversé l‚age d‚or du Hip Hop et en a été un des acteurs principaux de la scène graffiti New Yorkaise émergente. Entre vie dans les ghetto, rixes de gangs, et hauts faits de graffiti, peu peuvent aujourd‚hui encore revendiquer cet héritage. Certains ont disparu, d‚autres ont stoppé leur art. T-kid a traversé les époques et le temps et installé très tôt sa réputation. Ses oeuvres reproduites dans le livre « Subway Art » de Martha Cooper et Henry Chalfant (Ed. Thames & Holdes) ont fait de lui une légende internationale. Son style, lettrages 3D et personnages atypiques, ont été pour beaucoup une source d‚influence.

Aujourd‚hui, témoin privilégié d‚une époque révolue, il se pose en Maître d‚un style, acteur précurseur de la culture Hip Hop, et patrimoine artistique du mouvement Graffiti.

L‚exposition et le livre retracent la vie du mythique de T-kid, du début des années 1970 jusqu‚en 2004 au travers de ses témoignages écrits et de ses oeuvres

MARTHA COOPER

Considérée comme l‚une des premières mais surtout plus impliquée photographe de la culture Hip Hop à New York, elle s'y consacre dés le début des années 80 et donne à cette culture émergente, ses toutes premiéres lettres de noblesse.

Intronisé dans le graffiti par le writer Dondi, elle rencontre Futura 2000, Lady Pink, Seen, Lee, T-kid Zephyr, devenus aujourd'hui les légendes du mouvement. Avec eux, elle attend des heures le passage des trains entièrement peints et les prends en photo. Elle interview les artistes et partage leurs périples quotidiens.Son premier ouvrage, en collaboration avec Henry Chalfant

sort en 1981 « Subway Art » (ed. Thames et Hudson), aujourd'hui considéré comme la bible du mouvement, il reproduit sur des pages entiéres, les oeuvres de graffiti, aujourd'hui disparues. Dés lors, naissent passionnés en Europe, les générations actuelles d'artistes de graffiti.

Depuis ses débuts, Martha Cooper est la mémoire et l‚˛il du mouvement. Chacune de ses photos se fait l‚écho de cette jeunesse . En une multitude de clichés d‚où transpirent vie et une ébullition créative, l‚oeuvre de Martha Cooper est le témoin de son implication dans le Hip Hop. Jeune femme dans un milieux essentiellement masculin, sa sincérité lui a ouvert les portes d‚un univers secret et codé. Son respect et son admiration pour les artistes lui ont permit de rencontrer les plus grands du moment et sa perspicacité d‚être le témoin privilégié d‚une culture émergente.

Son ˛uvre pérennise les ˛uvres de graffiti et en légitime les acteurs. Son travail installe le mouvement Hip Hop dans l‚histoire, et le lie à son contexte.

Read The Signs

Through out the past two decades 100's of thousands of Los Angeles youth have written their names on almost every surface that this city has to offer, saturating all of LA with their tags. "Read The Signs" is a collection of late 1980's to 2005 tags that have been preserved by several anonymous collectors. In spite of all of the cities efforts to eradicate this city of its graffiti problem some of the most prolific writers of our time have manage to survive on the backs of these signs. This show serves as a testament to their existence and the art form known as the tag.

Nobodys

A Graffiti and Street Art Documentary
Directed by Andre Hyland
Music by Anticon's Odd Nosdam (cLOUDDEAD) and Cobra Kai

Nobodys is a documentary focused around what personally drives four different graffiti/street artists to create the public work they install illegally, and what they hope to accomplish by producing it. Featuring MERZ (Autograf, Graffiti World), WHEN (Scribble magazine, Juxtapoz), DARIUS JONES (Public Discourse, Wooster Collective), and FIVE (Scribble magazine, While You Were Sleeping), along with appearances by others such as WOOSH and BUDDY LEMBEK, Nobodys gives the viewer a look into a more personal side of the graffiti world than most recent graffiti films with its more insightful interviews, great images, and street bombing footage. Shot between 1996 and 2005, Nobodys is a graffiti documentary that will please audiences that range from seasoned graffiti writers to open-minded individuals who know little to nothing of graffiti culture.

Milwaukee International Film Festival PRESENTS...Pedro Carvajal's

POPAGANDA: THE ART & CRIMES OF RON ENGLISH

(This is the final cut with new, thought provoking, and more exciting billboards including exclusive footage of the grand finale in San Francisco with the Billboard Liberation Front, aka BLF). 2005, 75 minutes.

When: Sat, Oct 22, 9:45 pm at Oriental Theatre 2; Wed, Oct 26, 9:15 pm at Oriental Theatre 2
Info for the public: http://www.milwaukeefilmfest.org
Phone: 414-225-9740

Artist Ron English doesn't so much speak truth to power, he yells it to everyone through his altered billboard art. Pedro Carvajal's documentary examines English's life and art and invites the viewer to really consider public versus private space and high versus low art. This engaging and often hilarious documentary on Ron English, celebrated prankster father of agit-pop, is a must-see for anyone who enjoys watching corporations' carefully-sharpened iconography being used against them as a weapon of mass destruction. You'll find an interesting story of a man who has dedicated the better part of his life to creating art for the people.

Infused with Ron's infectious passion, THE ART & CRIMES OF RON ENGLISH is an engaging thrill ride into the life and art of the "billboard bandit" that will inspire and activate.

Alvin Tan, Melvin Chee, Jackson Tan and William Chan came together in 1994 to form :phunk studio, a creative collective in Singapore. They have propagated a visual signature that seamlessly blends their diverse influences into a singular creative thought that never fails to revive itself in the ever-fleeting world of art, design and culture. Their cross-disciplinary approach is best described as "an aesthetic collective consciousness" focused on experimenting with new approaches to visual expressions. Phunk has collaborated and worked with international brands such as Nike, MTV, Daimler Chrysler, Diesel, Levis, Comme de Garcon's Guerilla Shop, Tiger Beer and Salem. Their self-published multi-media project titled Transmission was distributed worldwide, showcasing the works of Phunk and their collaborators from around the world. They have exhibited and lectured in New York, London, Sydney, Berlin, Valencia, Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Phunk was featured on the cover of Creative Review and numerous international books and magazines.

Westwendischer Kunstverein Gartow und getting-up Hamburg

SMELL OF PAINT IN THE AIR

Eine Ausstellung der Graffiti-Künstler, DAIM (Mirko Reisser), TASEK (Gerrit Peters), STOHEAD (Christoph Hässler) und DADDY COOL (Heiko Zahlmann) der Hamburger Ateliergemeinschaft getting-up im Westwendischen Kunstverein im Gartower Zehntspeicher.

Die vier Hamburger Künstler präsentieren im Wendland mit Leinwandarbeiten, Skulpturen, Installationen und Wandbildern – einige Exponate entstehen auch direkt vor Ort – ihre eigene Interpretation von Graffiti und ihre persönlichen Stile, die über die deutsche Szene hinaus internationale Beachtung finden. Die Ausstellung des WWK im Gartower Zehntspeicher wird Kunstinteressierten, Fans und vor allem den Skeptikern der Graffiti-Kunst beweisen: das Klischee vom typischen Sprayer ist überholt.

Die Ateliergemeinschaft getting-up wurde u.a. bekannt durch Projekte wie das 2000 m2 große "Dockart“ - Projekt am Blohm und Voss Dock 10, die Urban Discipline Ausstellungsserie mit internationalen Künstlern, die Frühjahrsausstellung auf Kampnagel in Hamburg und die im eigenen Verlag getting-up veröffentlichten Publikationen über Graffiti.

Die große Graffiti Ausstellung in Gartow erfüllt aufs Wunderbarste eines der wichtigen Ziele des WWK: "Ein Kunstwerk im westwendischen Sinne sollte in Form und/oder Inhalt Einblicke in eine Welt vermitteln, die dem Betrachter ohne eben dieses Kunstwerk unbekannt geblieben wären. Mit dieser singulären Erfahrung will der Westwendische Kunstverein seine Besucher vertraut machen, erfreuen oder gegebenenfalls ihren Widerspruch herausfordern."

Zur Ausstellung erscheint ein Katalog – Kunstdruck-Postkarten in einer Sammelbox

De 1º de setembro a 4 de outubro, o artista plástico paulistano Felipe Yung, mais conhecido como Flip, contemplado no concurso „Toque de Arte‰, da operadora de telefonia Claro, ocupa com a exposição individual FLIPINK o edifício da ampgalaxy. Utilizando diversas técnicas de seu repertório habitual como graffiti, adesivos, pintura e desenhos, Flip estende sua atuação da fachada às escadarias, da pista de dança no subsolo ao terraço no topo do prédio. A exposição pode ser visitada de segunda a sábado, das 12h às 20h e a entrada é franca.

Desde 1995 rabiscando as paredes de São Paulo e dedicando-se ao estudo de técnicas de arte e graffiti, Flip faz cenários em eventos e shows, como do acústico de Marcelo D2, programas de TV, ilustrações em revistas e, é claro, desenha nas ruas, seu habitat preferido. Seu trabalho é marcado por personagens, adesivos e experimentos de caligrafia espalhados pelos lugares mais inusitados e diversos, de muros a hotéis cinco estrelas passando inclusive por roupas, como as de sua marca Most ou nas estampas da coleção da Manifesto 33 1/3.

Backjumps - The Live Issue #2

An interview with Ash.BBC, concerning the show.

Opening: Friday, August 19th from 7p.m.

Aftershowparty at Club103 from 11p.m. Press date: Friday, 19th of August, 11 p.m.:

After its big success in 2003, Backjumps – The Live Issue #2 wants to create a setting in Berlin to present current developments and interdisciplinary interfaces of Street Art, aerosol culture and HipHop for the second time.

Over a period of 2 months the city will be more involved in the project and thus it will transform into a live magazine. With the Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien as the central exhibition site there will be over 40 international Street Art artists from New York to São Paulo exhibiting their work in Berlin; parallel to the Art Forum and Kunstherbst.

Whole facades will be reutilized creatively by artists. Decentralized exhibition rooms and the “City Of Names“, a “city made from wood” at the Mariannenplatz expand the spectrum.

In the project "City of Names" by the Initiative Jazzstylecorner e.V., the artists Akim, Zast and 20 more writers from Berlin will build a little city over a period of 5 weeks, involving interested residents and children.

In the Wrangel neighbourhood in Kreuzberg, huge house facades will be redesigned by artists of the project in collaboration with the neighbourhood management.

Cinema Project presents:

THE LONELY TRAINMEN--

trainmen_postcard_fin#28037.jpg

Films by Bill Daniel and Vanessa Renwick

Wednesday September 28th
7:30 pm
Hollywood Theatre: 4122 NE Sandy Blvd.
Sliding scale: $6-$25

This film premier event will benefitVanessa Renwick's film, CRITTER, a sponsored project of the Oregon Film and Video Foundation.

Portland has been lucky to have Bill Daniel and Vanessa Renwick as local film and video makers. Not only have they been making documentary andexperimental films for over 20 years, they have promoted grassroots film throughout this country by travelling with various programs to the very smallest of towns in order to screen wonderful and challenging work, sometimes doing hundreds of performances and screenings. In a country often limited to cineplexes screening the same ten films, Renwick and Daniel are part of a small force, which keeps diversity in film and video exhibition alive. Cinema Project is honored to have both artists in attendance for this double premiere: two studies of occupational folklore on the unlikely subject of railworker graffiti.

Who is Bozo Texino? is the culmination of Daniel's twenty-plus year investigation into the century-old folkloric practice of boxcar graffiti. Daniel rode freight trains across the west carrying a Super-8 sound camera and a16mm Bolex, interviewing tramps and brakemen in a quest to find the originator of an ubiquitious graffiti. The recently-completed film functions both as a subcultural documentary and a stylized fable on wanderlust and escape. Vanessa Renwick's Lovejoy focuses on Portland's fabled Lovejoy Columns - a series of fanciful paintings on concrete freeway columns made by Greek immigrant Tom Stefopoulos who, in1948, began painting while working as a switchman for the rail yard. Renwick chronicled the turbulent efforts to save and restore the columns: a series of events that could only happen in Portland and a redevelopment story with a happy ending! Also included is Renwick's video, Portrait #1: Cascadia Terminal, shot in 16mm with a score by Tara Jane O'Neil. Cascadia Terminal is the the most efficient grain terminal at the port of Vancouver B.C, serviced by the Canadian Pacific Railway it can unload up to 300 cars in 24 hours which is equal to approximately 25,800 tons of prairie grain.

"Daniel and Renwick make some of the liveliest work on the microcinema circuit, wherein film, video art, and music collide with edgy, confrontational, unpredictable and often exuberant intensity" --- Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post

Who is Bozo Texino? -- Bill Daniel [2005, DV, Color, Sound, 55min.] Lovejoy -- Vanessa Renwick [2005, DV, Color, Sound, 15min.] Portrait #1: Cascadia Terminal -- Vanessa Renwick [2005, DV, Color, Sound, 6min.]

nobodys_sep_emailerx.jpg

A Graffiti and Street Art Documentry
Directed by Andre Hyland
Music by Anticon's Odd Nosdam (Clouddead) and Cobra Kai

Nobodys is a documentary focused around what personally drives four different graffiti/street artists to create the illegal work they install publicly, and what they hope to accomplish by producing it. Featuring MERZ (Autograf, Graffiti World), WHEN (Scribble, Juxtapoz), DARIUS JONES (Public Discourse, Wooster Collective), and FIVE (Scribble), along with appearances by others such as WOOSH and BUDDY LEMBEK, Nobodys gives the viewer a look into a more personal side of the graffiti world than most recent graffiti films with its more insightful interviews, great images, and street bombing footage.

Freedom Writerz

joburgfreedom200509x.jpg

THIS HERITAGE DAY

As we know, traditional knowledge has been impacted upon by colonialism and apartheid. This has included the propagation of false philosophies concerning the inferiority on the African peoples. It has entailed the spread and advancement of economic paradigms such as the worship of personal enrichment at all costs. It has encompassed the introduction of benign foreign religions, which were introduced to destroy ours.

The country needs Artists who are like therapists, Artists who draw from their own personal pain to help others transcend their trauma and turmoil.

IT's with this that as graffitti writerz it has come to our approach as always as it will always be, to reflect on the concerns of a African peoples, to be a voice for and to the peoples.

It will only be in the streets that knowledge can be passed on to a large mass of people, were truth can be displayed and uncensored in that manor - since the traditional large forms of mediums (TV, BILLBOARDS, MAGAZINES, ALWAYS BIGGER ON BIG SCREENS) do nothing but rape us and pollute us with vague imagery and visuals that do nothing to uplift the society.

In many places, painting graffiti is illegal. We do not advocate breaking the law, but we think art belongs in public spaces and that more legal walls should be made available for this fascinating art form. Because it is so hard to get books published and to keep photos and black books from being seized and destroyed by police and such.

This event also is in commemoration to our colleague, who got arrested for aerosol art. Sentenced to close to 2 years in LEEUKOP prison, released this year. Live long bredran.

"POPAGANDA: THE ART & CRIMES OF RON ENGLISH"

opens in San Francisco on Friday, Sept. 23rd at the Red Vic Movie House, just 1 1/2 block from the infamous McDonald's billboard hit. This is the final cut with new, thought provoking, and more exciting billboards including exclusive footage of the grand finale in San Francisco with the Billboard Liberation Front (BLF). Dir. Pedro Carvajal, US, 2005, 78 minutes.

Location: Red Vic Movie House, 1727 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117 Between Cole and Shrader, just a block and a half east from Golden Gate Park. The Red Vic is also served directly by MUNI routes: 7,33,37,43, & 71. MUNI route 6 & N-Judah come within a few blocks. Call 415-668-3994 for ticket info or go to: http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com

Showtimes: Sept. 23rd-29th. Nightly 7:15, 9:15; Sat & Sun: 2:00, 4:00, 7:15, 9:15; and Wed: 2:00, (4:00 Bring Your Own Baby screening), 7:15, 9:15 Admission Prices: $4.00 Seniors & Children; $6.00 Bargain 2:00PM Shows; $8.00 Adults

Artist Ron English doesn't so much speak truth to power, he yells it to everyone through his altered billboard art. Pedro Carvajal's documentary examines English's life and art and invites the viewer to really consider public versus private space and high versus low art. This engaging and often hilarious documentary on Ron English, celebrated prankster father of agit-pop, is a must-see for anyone who enjoys watching corporations' carefully-sharpened iconography being used against them as a weapon of mass destruction. Provided you can endure the soundtrack (English found out that Saddam Hussein held the record for having the most songs written about him, so he set out to top it) you'll find an interesting story of a man who has dedicated the better part of his life to creating art for the people.

Infused with Ron's infectious passion, THE ART & CRIMES OF RON ENGLISH is an engaging thrill ride into the life and art of the "billboard bandit" that will inspire and activate.

PIECE BY PIECE: A San Francisco Graffiti Documentary

piecebypiecegrindtorontox.jpg

TORONTO PREMIERE - SUNDAY AUGUST 21st
Presented by Grind Magazine
@ Bloor Cinema // 506 Bloor St. W. [Bathurst and Bloor]
9:30pm
admission // $8

Piece by Piece is a groundbreaking film that documents San Francisco's highly controversial graffiti art movement. A story told by those who lived the experience, Piece by Piece offers a rich history about street art in Northern California which spans from the early graffiti writing in the 1980's to its influence in pop culture today. This documentary offers commentary from New York graffiti legends such as SEEN and CASE 2, as well as the Bay Area artists like Dug1, Jor1 and Mike Giant who explain the impact PBS's Style Wars (1983) had on the development of San Francisco's defined graffiti style. By documenting the last twenty years of the Bay Area's graffiti movement, Piece by Piece offers an intimate journey into the most intriguing and misunderstood aspect of modern street culture.

Gatukonst- och Performancefilm

Sweden´s first festival for streetart- and performance film.

During late summer, the second edition of the Subörb Festival will take place in Subtopia – the new hang-out place for the creative in Stockholm. In 2003, when the Subörb Festival was first born, 35 000 visitors from all over the world were streaming through our gates. This time, makers will get the same overwhelming attention.

Grafitti-, skate-, break-, adbusting-, streetart-, cirkus-, experiment-, urban explorer- and squatingfilm will mix with live acts and performances... Performance film can be anything that combines film with another live medium such as theater, music, dance, or with some other means of achieving creative chaos and artistic interest.

Live acts will be an element of surprise between films to create a new, refreshing feel to the concept of film festivals. This could be live grafitti, radical cheerleaders, dragkings or gameboy music. The relaxed and the unexpected are what we are striving for. André Sebastie/Martin Bergsmark

KAB101

Street writing since the early eighties KAB101 has developed a marking style reflective of his personality. His work is based on calligraphic signature markings, mechanical lettering styles and nocturnal creatures that inhabit the darkest places.

His studio paintings consist of these same styles that also indicate his awareness of the smaller details of society that sometimes go unnoticed. They tell stories of identity, his emotions and experiences related to his past and present affinity with writing his name and taking space.

Kab101 likes to explore unseen territories, abandoned spaces, tunnels and doesn't mind leaving his work to be discovered as opposed to always  hitting high profile places. His inspiration comes from subway graffiti , type , packaging, handwriting and a balance of nature and technology. These explorations have a significant impact on his studio work.

Influential writers from various historical moments in local history will join each session to share their stories and vintage black books. This is a rare event that encapsulates the visual expression and the oral history from the last twenty years of local Twin Cities' graffiti history.
The collection of current and historical black book pieces derived from these sessions will be on exhibit in this first of its kind show."

CALL FOR STREET ART Deadline: September 1, 2005

SAW (streetartworkers.org) is seeking posters for an international street art campaign about land and the effects of globalization. We want you to design and submit posters that will be printed and wheatpasted in cities across Europe and North America. The strongest designs will be published as a mass produced, newsprint poster collection. This will be a 24 page, 2-color newspaper which will include up to 30 posters. SAW will pay for the printing, and volunteers will distribute the posters. The majority of posters will be wheatpasted in public by participating artists and folks who just want to paste up their city.

For examples of similar projects, see: http://www.norncposters.org/ourcity.htm http://www.partisanproject.org/ http://www.lumpen.com/events/select7mag.html

WHAT IS SAW? Based in the U.S., SAW is a network of printmakers, stencil artists, graffiti writers and painters who use the streets for art and activism. We are taking back our cities and towns from the businessmen, cops and politicians who define public space for their own benefit. As a volunteer-run group, we make street art for political campaigns and post each other's work across North America. Since 2001, our projects have talked about prisons, the mass media and utopian ideas for the future.

2005 CAMPAIGN: LAND AND GLOBALIZATION SAW wants to look at how globalization has affected our lands and how people are fighting back. How has it affected land in the cities - especially housing? How has globalization impacted land and workers in the countryside with farming, mining, drilling, logging and other resource extraction? What are the connections between land struggles in the global south, indigenous nations and the industrialized north? How are workers, farmers and campesinos resisting the impacts of globalization? What organizing strategies have worked and which ones have failed?

We want posters that build connections between international struggles and actual organized projects with high profile publicity. We especially want to see multilingual submissions and work from the perspective of women, Third World communities and indigenous/First Nations. Although it's not required, we encourage artists to collaborate with grassroots, social change organizations of their choosing to make posters. We want work that is both imaginative and relevant to "on the ground" organizing around issues of land, housing and globalization.

This event is a fundraiser for "Fear No Art" program! It's an art development program that aims to bring in young people of color and underprivileged youth who want to pursue the arts BUT don't have the resources to apply or pursue it.

Mission/Vision: Fear No Art advances and supports diverse young artists, primarily young people of color to develop and strengthen their skills through visual arts.

Fear No Art is a safe space where we will gather young people of color from different parts of the community where individuals feel free to express their thoughts, feelings, reactions, and experiences through a form of visual art. It is comprised of 15 young adult's ages 18-25 that want to pursue arts education and development but don't have the resources such as money to continue that dream. Fear No Art will also help you develop future educational and career goals and coach you in your efforts to achieve them.

Cisa Studio, LLC would like to announce the first in a series of live art installations. Art of Facts, an all-star mural installation celebration, will take place Friday, July 29th and Saturday, July 30th, 2005 in Hammond, Indiana. Cisa Studio would like to invite all art enthusiasts, aspiring artists, and anyone who wants to witness this historic event to join the celebration.

These guests will join together to transform an old, worn industrial structure into a work of art. Cisa Studio is seeking public participation and support from local businesses and civil organizations. The host location for this event will be the Hammond Maintenance Warehouse.

The participating artists are encouraged to utilize a different artistic approach. They will be available the entire weekend to answer any questions an onlooker may have. Art of Facts will feature a variety of entertainment. There will be live music provided by xyz, live performances by the Cisa Rockers, food, giveaways, and vendors.

10 Degrees of Separation

ZULU237 X GONZO247

10degrees_poster2005x.jpg Two artists who have never met face to face. Even though they have never seen each other, both artists share many qualities. Both are children from the early graffiti art movement. Both are young men influenced by and devoted to graffiti art culture. They use it, live it and breathe it. Both have managed to keep graffiti at their core of artistic output and use it in their careers.

Through a chance encounter on an Internet message board each artist was drawn to the other because of the similarity in their names. Their nommes de plume differ by only 10 degrees. So 247 met 237, and a correspondence began.

This first of several collaborations is an art swap of sorts. Each artist will create 10 works of art but leave the pieces half finished. The art will then be shipped half way around the earth, letting the other finish what was started. Two artists on each painting, neither one knowing the finished result until the opening of the show.

Growing up on different sides of the world ... in different social, economic, and political environments, 10 degrees begins to explore the similarities between the artists as well as the differences. How alike can two people be despite these extreme situations?

10 topics have been picked to used as artistic themes. Icon. Hero. Time (past present future). Weapons of Mass Destruction. Space. Culture. Politics. Technology. Information. Dream.

Live updates will be made via http://www.flickr.com/photos/10degrees Both artist will upload pictures every 20 minutes throughout the opening.

July 2nd from from 6pm-10pm (18:00 - 22:00 CST) = (CST (houston time) is -6:00 (six hours earlier) than GMT (London time))

* Los Angeles CA: Call for participation

Artists needed

We are representing a film entitled HATE CRIME which will premiere at OUTFEST LA the biggest Gay and Lesbian film festival in the USA.

We will most likely be holding our after-party at an art gallery in Los Angeles. The film's composer Ebony Tay will perform with her 10 peice band.

Although our film is about a hate crime, hate crimes do not really lend themselves to works of art.

At the gallery location of the after-party, we would like to display and offer for sale works of art created by graffiti artists.

The film HATE CRIME also touches on a number of issues regarding basic human rights such as freedom of expression and we feel that displaying works created by graffiti artists would be a good fit.

Made You Look

kindred_a6_back1x.jpg jj_coverx.jpg kindred_a6x.jpg mark_me_1x.jpg

An exhibition of Graphic Design by Machine.

Friday 7th May to 16th June 2005.

Magma
22 Oldham Street, Manchester. M1 1JN
Opening times: 10 – 6.30PM Daily. 11-5 Sundays. Free.

Since setting up the Machine collective in 2001, Amsterdam based artists & graphic designers Paul Bois-Reymond and Mark Klaverstyn have worked for a range of clothing firms and record labels across Europe including Kindred Spirits Recordings, Revert Skateboards and Versatile Records. Through paste up posters, projections onto buildings, typography and design their work has graced galleries, record sleeves, clothing and sidestreets everywhere. Machines instantly recognisable typefaces draw on retro LCD display and old school graffiti lettering while their graphic illustration adopts a blaze of shocking pinks and electric blues. Published work by Machine can be seen in “Writing: Urban Calligraphy And Beyond” and “Los Logos” (both published by Die Gestalten Verlag) and an extensive feature can be found in the current issue of “Defrag Magazine”, all of which are available at Magma.

While focussing on Machine’s extensive work for the Kindred Spirits record label, this exclusive six-week exhibition will also show a much wider range of their design output. Work will be shown on prints and silk-screens both inside and outside the store.

The Bohen Foundation will open its latest commissioned project, a site-specific installation by Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset

End Station

End Station transforms the entire lower level of the Foundation into an abandoned, ghost-like subway station. After crossing the existing grating and descending the metal staircase, viewers turn a corner to find themselves standing on the platform, looking at the tracks, benches and signage of a typical New York City subway station, but one that has been stopped in time. Incorporating subtle hints of a bygone era such as a 1980s poster or tags of graffiti, End Station toys with our memories of a former New York, one that is familiar but indefinable.

CoCo 144 & Ghost appear by special arrangement with Martinez Gallery

Open to the public Tuesday - Friday from 12 - 6.

Join the Mercury and Bus-It for a night of music and art aimed at limiting single occupany vehicle usage in and around Portland! Emcee Busdriver - Ten Spiders - Hungry Mob - DJ Wicked

PLUS . . . completion of a live painting by legendary LA graffiti master Mear One . . . all to benefit . . . the BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION ALLIANCE!

Thursday, June 23

This particular musical event will feature an impressive line-up of renowned underground artists and will benefit the Bicycle Transportation Alliance.

The next group on the bill will be local instrumental hip-hop pioneers, Hungry Mob.

The highlight of this mass transit melee will be the completion of a live painting by the legendary Los Angeles-based graffiti master, Mear One. Mear will dazzle the audience with his raw artistic social commentary by producing a live painting on a 6' by 8' billboard prop to the lively performances of eclectic musical acts.

Saturday, June 25, from 8:00pm to 10:00pm, Mear will be showing his artwork at New American Casual clothing store/ gallery, located underneath the Morrison Bridge at 326 SE Morrison St (all ages).

The Flow

flowberlin05x.jpg flow05_highresx.jpg www.youth-cultures.de

SPOKENHEARD

Für die einen eine coole Streetkunst, für die anderen Schmiererei und Sachbeschädigung. Ende Herbst wird mit der Verabschiedung eines Gesetzes gerechnet. Dann ist das illegale Graffiti nicht mehr nur eine Ordnungswidrigkeit, sondern strafbar. Bereits jetzt wird über den Hubschraubereinsatz zur Verfolgung diskutiert.

Was bedeutet die Gesetzesänderung für die Eigentümer? Was für die meist minderjährigen Writer? Was für das Stadtbild? Was für die Kriminalstatistik und die Gerichte?

Graffiti ist ein Streitthema. Wir wollen uns auseinandersetzen und auch diskutieren, ob es mehr legale Alternativen geben muss, welche Erfahrungen dazu vorliegen und wie die Kriminalisierung jugendlicher Writer verhindert werden kann. Diskutieren sollen nicht allein die Gäste unter sich, sondern ihr mit ihnen.

Reden wir miteinander: Am 11. Juni LIVE auf dem „Berlin 05“ Event bei youth.Cultures „The Flow“!

Mehr Informationen zu dieser Podiumsdiskussion ab dem 16. Mai 2005 auf www.youth-cultures.de/theflow

Steve Bowerman, Anthony Jigalin, David Hooper, Udghosh, and friends.

Time        630pm till late

Floor, 99 Elizabeth St.
Date        Thursday, 9th June.

This is an exhibtion of over 200 pieces of art, Paintings, sculptures, Photographs, Digital prints and more. Including over a dozen artists, and a dozen genres.

If the realm of subconscious thought is the playground of free association, then to render such thoughts is to reveal new and unexpected realities, revealed through the visual articulation of internal dialogue.   Contemplating novel content, associations and context, traditional cultural expectations and experience become expanded to the point of challenging our boundaries of awareness, logic and identity.

Light refreshments will be served.

Chickinterpretation brings together the best street, graffiti and cutting-edge artists from across the country for an art showcase to launch its Chicken Little collectible vinyl figures.

Artists will bring their unique interpretive vision to Chicken Little vinyl figures. The one-of-a-kind figures will be displayed at events in Los Angeles and New York, and then auctioned off to benefit DisneyHand's partner charities.

GET IT LOUDER

getitlouder2005shanghaix.jpg

A visual noise made by young talented designers and artists around the globe. The exhibition is conceived as a platform for showcasing their creativity and personal thoughts, in order to explore their sources of inspirations in their daily lives. It also tends to examine graphic art/design as lifestyles, living attitudes, and as an integral part of urban culture.

The exhibition will focus on young creators with Chinese background working in different places around the world. At the same time, to give the exhibition an international scope, Get It Louder also invited some talented creators from countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Germany, Sweden, and USA to join. Rather than focusing on a particular format or medium, the exhibition will bring in fresh and innovative art works in such a diverse range of creative fields as print, web, moving images, photography, video, fashion, and more.

Besides exhibitions in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, Get It Louder will have internationally-renowned designers as our guest speakers presenting their latest work at the venues. It will also feature a sound art performance on the opening day in each city. Get It Louder is the first art/design exhibition and event of its kind held in mainland China.

:Phunk Studio is invited to give a talk of their recent work at the opening of Get It Louder Shanghai exhibition, May 22nd.

Quik - American Graffiti

quik2005showmarchx.jpg

American Graffiti Art Geen enkele beeldende expressievorm heeft zoveel commotie veroorzaakt als de graffiti-art! Ontstaan in New York in de roerige jaren ’60, ontstond er ook kunsthistorisch gezien, een nieuwe kunststroming. Een nieuw thema, een nieuwe techniek en een nieuwe drager werden geïntroduceerd. Uit protest tegen de gevestigde orde en de heersende maatschappij liet een grote groep jongeren van zich spreken door ‘ongevraagd’hun tags (handtekeningen) in en op de metro’s en treinstellen achter te laten. Deze schreeuw om aandacht werd aanvankelijk met viltstift aangebracht, later gevolgd door de spuitbus. In een zeer ras tempo ontwikkelde zich de American Graffiti Art en vanaf de jaren '80 constateren wij dat het werkterrein zich langzaam verplaatst van de metro/trein naar het atelier. Quik (Linwood A. Felton) Quik werd in New York, 1958 geboren. Vanaf zijn tiende plaatste hij zijn naam al op treinstellen en ontvluchtte s’ avonds het ouderlijk huis om verder zijn artistieke mogelijkheden te onderzoeken. In zijn werk versmelten diverse werelden als die van de strip, de science fiction en de pop art. Ook doemen vaak de letters van zijn pseudoniem op in zijn werken. Zijn oeuvre is melancholisch, kritisch en rijk aan humor. Het team van Galerie Willy Schoots Patio nodigt u dan ook van harte uit op zaterdag 26 maart a.s, om 15.00 uur. De inleiding op deze presentaties zal verricht worden door kunstverzamelaar Henk Pijnenburg. 27 maart - 30 april - 5 en 15 mei gesloten ( feestdagen) Maandag 28 maart - 2e Paasdag geopend! GalerieWilly Schoots Patio E info@schoots.com - I www.schoots.com openingstijden: wo-vr 11.00 - 18.00 uur. za 11.00 - 17.00 uur. zo 13.00 - 17.00 uur T040.244.97.05

Artean '05

ARTEAN '05 es un eveneto que trata de dar un paso m·s en las actividades que el colectivo de arte No Art ha propuesto hasta ahora.

No Art es un colectivo de arte alternativo formado a partir de las inquietudes artisticas de un grupo de individuos, hacia 1998. En un principio se trataba de pintar graffitis con la unica intencion de decorar las aburridas paredes de nuestro entorno. Con el tiempo el colectivo ha madurado al ritmo que lo han hecho sus miembros, hoy por hoy el enfoque ha cambiado, convirtiendose en una serie de actividades de caracter semi-profesional, dirigidas al fomento de la cultura urbana. No Art es un colectivo diverso y dinamico, en el que se han ido incorporando jovenes con ganas de hacer cosas, siempre manteniendo un caracter ladico en nuestras actividades. Hoy por hoy el colectivo lo conforman 6 escritores, Say, Eko, Ion, Sadf, Gia y Rag.

No Art lleva desde el año 2000 organizando esta actividad, en un rpincipio, se celebraba en Berriz, localidad natal del colectivo, bajo la denominacion de Graffiti Eguna. La evolucion natural del colectivo nos ha llevado a sacar la actividad de su entorno primitivo y acercarla a un ambito mayor, buscando acercarnos al mayor numero de personas posible y conformando una actividad de mayor calado. Para ello hemos contado con la indispensable ayuda del Durango Kafe Antzokiia, Plateruena, nos ha facilitado las cosas desde un principio y nos ha dado el apoyo necesario para poder continuar la evolucion del proyecto.

Artean '05, se celebrare en el entorno de este local, contamos con la plaza que da acceso a las instalaciones como soporte principalademas de sus propias instalaciones. El proximo 30 de Abril de 2005, se daron cita en dicho lugar, varios grupos de jovenes artistas urbanos para conformar le siguiente cartel de catividades:

Rik Reinking has attended the activities of the Graffiti artists of getting-up for a couple of years already. His international collection stands for its size as well as its quality and combines international stars alongside young artists. Exhibitions led by him offer interesting dialogues – so will SMELL OF PAINT IN THE AIR.

On display: canvases, sculptures, installations, murals

John Zender

zender200504x.jpg

Internationally renowned Mexican-American Artist, John Zender, will be exhibiting a one-man art show and two part exhibition entitled "Public Eye, Private Heart," opening on April 9, 2005. Featured in this exhibition will be a collection of original studies, sketches, and concepts informing the making of some of the over 400 Chicano, aerosol art, and community murals he has produced over the last 20 years, many of which have become an integral part of the Los Angeles city landscape.

This unusual behind the scenes view provides insight into the public works of the artist and the more general process of developing and implementing public mural art projects. Also featured in this exhibit is a rare look at the more personal and academic easel work of John Zender which has consumed more of his focus in recent years. Influenced and inspired by the works of Kandinsky, Gorky, Roberto Matta, and others these personal works offer a richly layered abstract expressionist interpretation, blending color, imagery, text, and texture in subtle renderings of spiritual themes.

A public reception will be held on Saturday April 9, 2005. The exhibit will run through May 1, 2005. A closing reception will be held on Saturday April 30, 2995.

THIS SERIES OF PAINTINGS WERE INSPIRED BY THE REFLECTIONS OF A TWENTY YEAR VETERAN OF THE NEW YORK CITY CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS. UPON HIS RETIREMENT WE SPOKE OF YEARS GONE BY. I FELT INSPIRED TO TELL THE STORY OF MYTHICAL INMATES PAST AND PRESENT, THE ART OF THE STREETS HAS ALWAYS TOLD THE STORIES OF THE GHETTO, AS BROTHERS DO DAY FOR DAY BEHIND THE WALL, THEY LIVE A LIFE WHERE PRINCIPALS IDEALS AND MORALS ARE ALWAYS OUT OF BALANCE. MOTHERDEAR, TUT AND SEARGANT RAMIREZ ARE JUST SOME OF THE INMATES AND CORRECTIONS OFFICERS WHOSE REPUTATIONS FOLLOWED THEM BEYOND THE WALLS OF RIKERS ISLAND. IT IS NOT MY INTENTION TO GLORIFY THERE ESCAPADES, ONLY TO TELL THE STORY OF THE FABLES OF C76 AND THE HOUSE OF PAIN.

Can't Stop Won't Stop:        A History of the Hip-Hop Generation

By Jeff Chang
       Introduction by DJ Kool Herc

       Book Talk and Signing
       WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 2005
       Presentation begins at 7:00 PM

       Admission is free.

CHICAGO, IL - ThreeWalls is proud to host a book presentation and signing by Jeff Chang, author of the newly released "Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation." Jeff Chang's Chicago appearance is part of a nationwide book tour and has quickly garnered widespread buzz and praise.

Forged in the fires of the Bronx and Kingston, Jamaica, hip-hop became the Esperanto of youth rebellion and a generation-defining movement. In a post-civil rights era defined by deindustrialization and globalization, hip-hop crystallized a multiracial, polycultural generation's worldview, and transformed American politics and culture. But that epic story has never been told like this. From the gangs of the late 60s to the icons of the new millennium, from the Ghetto Brothers and Universal Zulu Nation organizations to the hip-hop activists, Can't Stop Won't Stop presents the hip-hop generation in all its grime and glory with breadth, wit, and style.

Based on original interviews with DJs, b-boys, rappers, graffiti writers, activists, and gang members, with unforgettable portraits of many of hip-hop's forebears, founders, and mavericks, including DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Chuck D, and Ice Cube, Can't Stop Won't Stop chronicles the events, the ideas, the music, and the art that marked the hip-hop generation's rise from the ashes of the 60s into the new millennium. Here is a powerful cultural and social history of the end of the American century, and a provocative look into the new world that the hip-hop generation created.

Jeff Chang has been a hip-hop journalist for over a decade. He has written extensively on race, culture, politics, arts, and music. He began working as a hip-hop journalist in 1991 with URB and The Bomb Hip-Hop magazines, and has written for the Village Voice, the San Francisco Bay Guardian, the Los Angeles Weekly, Vibe, Spin, The Nation, Mother Jones, and the Washington Post, among others. He was a Senior Editor/Director at Russell Simmons' 360hiphop.com, and a founding editor of ColorLines magazine. In 1993, he co-founded and ran the influential hip-hop indie label, SoleSides, now Quannum Projects, helping launch the careers of DJ Shadow, Blackalicious, Lyrics Born and Lateef the Truth Speaker. He has helped produce over a dozen records, including the "godfathers of gangsta rap," the Watts Prophets.

"Hip-hop is the voice of this generation. Even if you didn't grow up in the Bronx in the '70s, hip-hop is there for you. It has become a powerful force. Hip-hop binds all of these people, all of these nationalities, all over the world together." -DJ Kool Herc, from the Introduction

cornet de stoemp

alexonejan2005versox.jpg alexonejan2005recto2x.jpg

Alëxone presents "cornet de stoemp", one year of his work developed in his studio in Brussels

For its opening the Gallery Alice has the honour to present the works of the French artist Alëxone who exhibits solo for the first time.

Artist painter who started with graffiti is undeniably the symbol of the artistic European underground scene, his fame will make the pupils from the Star-Academy get pale from jealousy.

But with Alëxone no "premium", the exhibition is the synthesis of his hard work that started 10 years ago.

Finally, he shows us a very personal universe in his paintings. A world full of strange animals mixed with foreign influences at the limit of the supernatural.

In the land of Magritte, nobody is surprised about anything any more. Not even about genius.

First exhibition "Carnet de stoemp" of the artist Alëxone from 29 January to 14 march 2005. The Vernissage will be held on Friday 28 January.

The GBGC was invited in 2003 to participate in the upcoming political art exhibition opening this coming May 2004-March 2005 at Mass MOCA (the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams MA) one of the leading museums for contemporary art in North America. The show, called "The Interventionists," is a collection of work by artists who "intervene" in public and GBGC has used a network of international street artists to create a wall piece for the show to celebrate the wide range of graffiti and street art going on internationally right now. GBGC initiated an open call for participation and has received work from over 250 different artists and collectives from over 16 different countries for their contribution to the show, a wall entitled "On the 8th day..".

These artists all create adventurous work that breaks through cultural and stylistic boundaries with a respect for style in art, dance, and fashion.

Nhon Nguyens dynamic Paintings of break dancers are reminiscent of the masterful strokes of Sumi and its beautiful economy of brush strokes and use of color washes.

George Estrada and Vittorio Costarelli are internationally known graphic designers, having done work for Coca Cola, Nike, Addidas, Warp Records and Nestle as well as Graphic design studios Modern Dog and Ames Bros, who are renowned for blending mid Twentieth century commercial art techniques with cross cultural aesthetics to create cut vinyl masterpieces.

With a nod to his Latin American heritage Zeta Brown creates assemblages that explore the evolution of traditional latin dance styles into current hip hop dances like Uprock/Downrock.

Swiss born artist Victor Pantet explores the curious rhythms of the seasons and their effects on city of Seattle.

Japanese Kaiju, '80s skateboard icons, and graffiti writing inspires Seattle sculptor Dave Ho to create 3 dimensional wall reliefs made from used skateboard fragments and other found materials.

Blow Up The Spot is the first in a series of art shows which will be curated by

Cut Kulture's visual arts director Damion Hayes at the VAIN Salon gallery.

The series aims to create a dialogue between Seattle's arts patrons and the burgeoning contemporary urban arts scene we have . To "Blow Up The Spot" is to hit the target
