Overground 3 – Trans Europe Express
A personal urban tale focusing on graffiti Graffiti shapes the city. The city shapes graffiti. The physical environment sets its terms through obstacles and opportunities. In Overground 3, using the city as a starting-point, we encounter nine of Europe’s most influential graffiti writers. Their means of expression stretches from pared-down tags, through colourful graffiti productions, to huge installations. Nine extreme artists, each a king of his city. Masters of style and endurance. Their personalities and artistic expression are the results of their environment, and the differences between their lifestyles and driving forces is great. The hunt for the urban and artistic soul criss-crosses Europe. The distance between the CCTVs of London and the worn streets of Prague is not great, but the differences between the two cities are huge. For the first time, the artists are presented as a part of their environment. The city is their studio. They live and work in it, use it and safeguard it every day. Overground 3 concerns the last free artistic expression of our time. Graffiti is the largest artistic movement in the world, inspiring fashion, music and design. Overground 3 is also the story of a Europe in which privatisation and surveillance are increasingly given space. These changes limit the opportunities for writers, but simultaneously increase the need to create and be visible. Overground 3 asks questions about who owns the city and the importance of graffiti in Europe’s increasingly commercialised cities. The result is a personal urban portrayal, focusing on art and lifestyle, from Berlin, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Liège, London, Milan, Paris, Prague and Stockholm. “This is my personal struggle against the Joe Bloggs life. I need excitement and challenge in my daily life. When I paint a train with my friends, I feel free. And also, it's my little contribution to the battle against zero-tolerance and the one-track mind of modern society.” - Cave, Copenhagen Graffiti writers: Overground 3 is published by Dokument förlag.

E Pluribus VenomSherpard Fairey Recent Work A new book by renowned American artist Shepard Fairey takes issue with the symbols and methods of the American machine and the American dream. E Pluribus Venom presents a large body of the work shown in Fairey’s massive summer of 2007 exhibition at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York. The works presented in this book expound specifically on the theme that gave the show its flavor. A loose translation of E Pluribus Venom is “Out of many, poison is derived" and is used here as a variation of the theme “E pluribus unum" (out of many, one), an early motto adopted by the United States Government that to this day appears on U.S. currency. The artist’s thesis contends that the notion of “many becoming one" actually results in a loss of individual power and influence, dangerously promotes homogeny, and is in fact a symptom of a society in decline. The works presented in E Pluribus Venom have been created with one objective in mind: to question the symbols and methods of the American machine and American Dream, and to celebrate those who oppose blind nationalism and war. This publication is much more than a catalogue to an exhibition. It is a damning graphic condemnation of those who are motivated by the many forms of poison endemic in 21st century western society: the corner stones of capitalism, jingoism, xenophobia and unnecessary incursion of foreign territories. E pluribus venom uses powerful imagery to challenge our values and question the power of institutional authority. It also encourages the individual to maintain his or her independence. Shepard Fairey is a remarkable artist who utilizes styles born of the propaganda, hippie and Art Nouveau movements to advocate and celebrate peace.

Artist SurveyMy name is Sanah Choudhry and I'm a third year student at Durham University. I'm currently undergoing my dissertation which I have chosen to base around Graffiti. I would be really grateful if you could answer a few questions. It will really boost my dissertation work and give me a better insight into how artists such as yourself perceive graffiti within today's culture. Obviously you will be anonymous and all your details that I have, which is actually only your email adds, will not be produced in the dissertation document itself, and will be kept entirely confidential. Please let me know if you do want your "name" to be acknowledged because I will be more than happy to add it in - in fact it will probably look better.

Comes a rollicking rail zine of boxcar graffiti and obscrure railroad nostalgia—the result of a 25-year obsession with hobo and railworker folklore. Freight riding stories, interviews with hoboes and boxcar artists, historical oddities and tons of photos of modern day boxcar tags are all presented in the guise of a vintage rail fanzine."

Phil Frost monographPhil Frost honed his skills by painting walls, found objects and street detritus with his intricate, compulsive and highly evolved form of tagging. He crafts his painstaking paintings by collaging layers of found imagery on grounds of symmetrical black-and-white patterning, which he paints with correction fluid, and that often morph into language-like glyphs or symbols. Including an essay by New York journalist Carlo McCormick and notorious lowbrow artist Pushead, this is Frost's first monograph, and an invaluable introduction to the evolution of his style. 10.9 x 10.8 In. / (27.686 x 27.432 cm) Book is signed with additional embellishments from the artist

Lost Collection 0001 | 1998-2008
BOOK TITLE: Lost Collection 0001 | 1998-2008 ABOUT THE BOOK Among those featured in this collection are Tempt STN, Krenz/Yem AM7, Besk UCA, and the MAK crew, innovators and pioneers of L.A. graffiti. Also in this book is work by Ayer LTS (R.I.P), Atlas CBS, and Hael OTR/7TH LETTER, highly influential in shaping contemporary L.A. graffiti. Work by street art pioneer The Phantom, photographer Luna, and illustrator Patrick Martinez presents L.A. visual culture in a broader context. Two on-going Lost sections are presented in this volume as well; the Lost Blackbook Project which collects rarely-seen sketches and drawings giving a unique look into the graffiti process; and Contrast Resolution, a visual exploration of the impact and effectiveness of graffiti on the streets. Eyeone provides the introduction as well as an overview of issues past, and Ian Lynam rounds out this volume with a foreword that puts Lost in the context of graffiti, typography and design. ABOUT LOST Lost gives equal importance to all elements of graffiti, from the calligraphy of tagging to the typographical murals that occupy the city. Lost also features artists and photographers informed by the urban experience and makes it a priority to present contemporary as well as historic exponents of Los Angeles visual culture.
Graffiti Coloring Book
Here is the book where you can decide how graffiti should be colored yourself. More than sixty of the best graffiti writers in Scandinavia have done sketches with thick black contours for this classic and unusual coloring book. The book allows you to practice your coloring skills to sketches by writers like Nug from Stockholm, Egs from Helsinki and Bates from Copenhagen. Graffiti sketches act as patterns for graffiti pieces but are also works of art in their own right. The book is an inspiring document of its time as well as a coloring book. "After publishing several books on graffiti, it felt right to issue a coloring book on the subject," says publisher Malcolm Jacobson. The job of collecting sketches was assigned to the Stockholm graffiti writer Uzi, of international renown. Uzi asked the writers he deems to be the best and most current to do sketches especially for the Graffiti Coloring Book. They include both newcomers and legends. The age of contributors spans from 20 to 40. It is hard to discern one Scandinavian style as you leaf through the book. The styles vary from Ador's fragmented letter pictures to Disey's wildstyle to Que's train style. "Scandinavian styles fit quite well in black-and-white," says Uzi with satisfaction, having nagged for months to obtain the coveted sketches. Writers may spend all day doing pieces, but sitting down to draw a sketch for printing is a rare occasion for most writers. "You'd think everybody would want to participate in a book like this, but gathering the material was harder than you'd think," says Uzi. A few contributors: USA: In summer 2008, you can get this from Last Gasp in San Francisco CA. Title: Graffiti Coloring Book Dokument förlag och distribution

Born in the BronxA Visual Record of the Early Days of Hip HopEdited by Johan KugelbergPhotographs by Joe Conzo Born in the Bronx is a striking anthology of Hip Hop's baby steps. Not only does it capture the emergence of a burgeoning culture but also the fashion and character of the surrounding community. From rare photographs of MC's and DJs to records, flyers, and other ephemera, writer Johan Kugelberghas pulled together the scattered remains of a movement that never has its eye on posterity. The book includes the improvisational artwork of previously unpublished street flyers of the era, Polaroids buried for decades in basements across the Bronx, and testimonials from the most scholarly historians of Hip Hop culture - the legends and pioneers who lived it! Through Born in the Bronx,Joe Conzo(described by The New York Times as "the chronicler who took hip hop's baby pictures") presents a unique cross-section of an explosive and experimental time in music history. - Hip Hop's first photographer, Joe Conzo provides the majority of images of legends and urban scenes from 1977-1982. Additional photos were contributed by fellow pioneering documentarians Charlie Ahearn and Henry Chalfant. - Photos feature The Cold Crush Brothers, Treacherous 3, Afrika Bambaataa, Busy Bee, Run DMC, Wayne "The Hip Hop Ventriliquist" and Charlie, Fantastic Romantic, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Funky Four + 1, Kool DJ AJ Scratch, GrandWizzard Theodore and more. - Flyers created by Buddy Esquirefeature Hip Hop jams from 1978-1985.

Art in Consequence: Advanced Vandalizm
With its rebirth in contemporary pop culture as an appreciated, embraced and oft-utilized art form with a seemingly ever-growing body of practitioners and adherents, how can graffiti escape the known trappings of widespread acceptance, avoid becoming awash with clichéd forms? How can it dodge stagnation as it has authority for so long? By providing a window into an avant-garde constantly pushing the boundaries of graffiti in an effort to maintain its relevance and vitality as a force of aesthetic and cultural provocation, stimulation and dissidence, Art in Consequence offers some answers to those very questions and hints at what the future of graffiti may bring. The book and DVD take the reader on a trip to selected scenes where beauty and absurdity meet, documenting actions where some of those very answers are manifested in the form of shapes and colors, signs and wonders, all forged out of necessity by their creators. 80 Pages, Paperback, 8 1/4" X 8 1/4", http://gingkopress.com/_cata/_popk/artinconseq.htm current order form at Gingko

1207
Stockholm graffiti writers in new book of portraits In 1207, the graffiti writers of Stockholm are portrayed for the first time. In a journey from suburb to inner city, they display their own personal Stockholm. They are heroes in their own world. Stockholm has been decorated by graffiti writers for more than twenty years. Now, for the first time, the people behind graffiti allow themselves to be portrayed. 1207 presents more than 50 of Stockholm’s most active and legendary graffiti writers. Photographer Torkel Sjöstrand has followed them and photographed them on their walks through the city for three years. From Spånga to Norsborg, Södertälje to Ekerö, suburb to inner city. In tunnels and on railroad tracks, or overlooking a magnificent vista of the city. Graffiti writers are fascinated by the places many people don’t notice. 1207 is a document of a small group of people who risk their own well-being for an art form that is constantly pilloried by politicians and the authorities. We are offered a different depiction of Stockholm, and a unique document of its graffiti writers. Moreover, all the writers have written their tag in the book. 1207 is the police code for destruction of property through graffiti. Torkel Sjöstrand is a photographer and editor for Underground Productions magazine. He has previously contributed to such books as Overground, Writers United and Gates of Graffiti. Essay by Jacob Kimvall, art theoretician and an authority on graffiti. Foreword by Irok, Stockholm graffiti writer. Title: 1207 RRP: 229 SEK, 29,9 €, 15,99 GBP 1207 is published by Dokument Förlag, who have also published the titles The beautiful Struggle, Urban Recreation, Gates of Graffiti and Outernational.

Uncommissioned ArtAn A-Z of Australian Graffiti by Christine Dew
On the streets of Australian cities there are conversations occurring in paint in public spaces. Graffiti, stencil and street art are immediate and ephemeral. Yet the same media is gaining worldwide currency, with many art galleries collecting and showing these works. This illustrated A-Z combines beautiful colour images from Australia's thriving graffiti and street art culture, interviews with some of Australia's most important graffiti and street artists, analysis of the history and evolution of the scene and discussion of urban planning, community and freedom of speech raised by graffiti's presence in public space. Uncommissioned Art: An A-Z of Australian Graffiti offers new ways to look at street art. It will contribute to local, national and international conversations about art and design, popular culture and urban planning. Chris Dew is a Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies and an Australian Research Council Associate in the History Program at La Trobe University in Melbourne. She is also a photographer interested in landscape, memory and place. Her photographs have been exhibited in Melbourne's Counihan Gallery and in many print publications. She is also a consultant to local government and community organisations on graffiti-related matters. [This book is an excellent survey of Australian graffiti art that includes most of the right people and good examples of their work. It's a huge, well-produced volume, sure to be a collector's item. - Susan] Melbourne University Publishing info: sgale@unimelb.edu.au
Los Angeles Graffiti
Compiled by Roger Gastman, author of Freight Train Graffiti and co-founder (with Shepard Fairey) of Swindle magazine, this colorful book benefits from Gastman’s long-term, intimate involvement with L.A. graffiti writers. Recruiting friends, and graffiti legends, like SABER and RETNA, Los Angeles Graffiti documents the history of the unique, world-class graffiti scene that thrives in Los Angeles. In particular, the interview with L.A. graffiti luminary POWER breathes history into these photographs of work created by the famous, infamous, and anonymous. [This book has some great pieces in it from some of the heavy hitters in the LA scene. - Susan] Los Angeles Graffiti For more information, contact pr@markbattypublisher.com
It Ate Billy on Christmasby Roman Dirge and Steven Daily 
It would have been a Christmas like any other for little Lumie and her horrible, terrible, obnoxious, awful bully of a brother Billy. But then a funny little monster appeared and ate Billy right up! Lumie knows it's not really a good thing to let a monster eat your brother, but she can't help but notice that things are, in fact, much nicer now that he's gone. Now that things are looking up a little in her world, Lumie has to decide what to do with her new little monster friend, and - most importantly - what she's going to feed him. • Reading level: Ages 9-12
Icepick
ICEPICK is a book based on icelandic Street Art. it portrays juicy graphic collages and illustrations made by the graphic designer Thordis Claessen. The book Icepick has been five years in the making, and is published by Gingkopress. Icepick was recently introduced with a show in Urbis Gallery in Manchester, UK (ongoing may - aug 07) Because of its location between mainland Europe and America, Iceland has indeed a mixed culture. Therefore its street art has a unique flavour, where street artists invent new and interesting forms of borderline art. ICEPICK is a roughly 220 page graphic creation, showing Icelandic graffiti and street art in various forms. Full colur pieces, stickers, stencils and political statements, all as if put in a blender and out comes a bursting mixture. Iceland has mostly highlighted for its music scene in the past. Here is something else to be explored from this weird and tiny island - where street artists are apparently quite creative. The street art featured in ICEPICK covers a wide range of themes and subject matter from traditional Icelandic icons to sheep, Vikings, fantastic gothic creations dreamt up during long Icelandic nights and colorful graffiti pieces that evoke the New York street art scene. Keep in mind that the cold can bite fingers and nose quite hard when making big pieces in Iceland, but that does´n´t seem to be a problem to the street art vikings. Most artists featured in Icepick are of course Icelandic, plus work from three guest artists including "Mike The Flower Guy" (USA) and Akaysim + Adams (SWE). So sink your teeth in this juicy book and look out for the Icelandic ICEPICK, available in bookstores worldwide. www.icepickbook.com 220 pages, HC, 10” x 9 1/2”, 1500 color illustr.,

The Birth of GraffitiJon Naar, Sacha Jenkins

Presented full-frame, at high resolution, and with meticulous attention to the original color, this book brings to life the gritty, exciting New York of the early 1970s and the raw visual power of early graffiti.

Roman Dirge and Steven Daily set sail with Peter the Pirate Squid
We all find inspiration in the strangest places. Artists are inspired by stains on the ceiling, writers by misheard conversations. And now, from Roman Dirge, creator of Lenore (and we're a little afraid to guess what that was inspired by) comes a salty tale of a seaborne squid who draws his life mission from... pirates. Peter the Pirate Squid pairs Dirge's writing talents with the keen artistic abilities of Steven Daily, telling the tale of an eight-legged cephalopod who wants nothing more than to rule his seventh of a sea with an iron hand - er, tentacle. And so, with a faithful crew of oysters, seahorses, crabs and other eyepatch-minded denizens of the deep, Peter sets forth in search of booty, baubles and grog-toting adventure! The same size as a Little Golden Book, Peter the Pirate Squid is sure to be a hit with existing Lenore fans, younger readers, and kids of all ages. Dirge says that after a decade of publishing the multimedia hit Lenore with SLG, the step to children's books (albeit children's books with unique sensibilities) comes naturally. "Ya know, I like pirates and I like squids. It just seemed like it needed to happen," said Dirge. Steven is such an incredible artist and I'm proud to shove his work into more eye balls." "Creating this world has been so challenging and fun. I have always wanted to work on a pirate story. When Roman had the idea of taking this Peter character, and make a book out of him, ideas just started to 'flow like Neptune's beard,'" Daily said. "Roman is a brilliant working with him is amazing." Peter and his fellow subaquatic swashbucklers will live by the sword in July 2007. Peter the Pirate Squid will be a 32-page, 7.5" x 7.5" black-and-white storybook and will retail for $4.95. It is available now at comic book stores through Diamond Comics and is available on SLG's website, SLG - Peter the Pirate Squid, and Amazon.com.

Graffiti has moved from the trains to the streets. Doors are the new canvases. Gates Of Graffiti show doors from New York, Berlin, Copenhagen and Stockholm. Doors make a good frame for the faster forms of graffiti and street art such as tags, stencils and posters. In a doorway one can sneak in and execute its art without being noticed. Gates Of Grafftit is the first book to focus on tags, their design and how writers communicate with them. It is an unique chance to understand what tags are about and how beautiful they can be. It explores graffiti on doors in New York, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm and other cities. The texts are written by graffiti writers Smith (NYC), Punk (Gothenburg), Clint 176 (Berlin) och Don Juan (Copenhagen) who open-hearted tells the fascinating stories behind the names that adorn the doors of major cities.

PremArtsvideo clip of the space - Quicktime, German Graffiti artists welcome!! Galeristin Prema (26), for which "PremArts" is named, comes from Berlin and studies Visual and Performing Music at Brighton University. For Prema The gallery presents the possibility of cooperating with artists worldwide to plan exhibitions. Galeristin Prema (26), nach der "PremArts" benannt ist,
kommt aus Berlin und studiert Visual and Performing Arts-Music an der
Brighton University. Die Galerie ist für Prema die Möglichkeit, mit
Künstlern aus der ganzen Welt zu kooperieren und gemeinsam Ausstellungen
zu planen.
PremArts is an Art-Workshop and Gallery, located in the central south district of Berlin-Mitte, called Berlin Kreuzberg . Xberg is one of the best-known localities (Ortsteile) of Berlin, famous for its nightlife and its political leftness, thrives on its diverse cultures and is an attractive area for younger, alternative crowds, cosmoplitan students, young professionals and a very high amount of immigrants. A few minutes by walk you get to the East Side Gallery, an international memorial for freedom. It is a 1.3km long section of the Berlin Wall. The gallery consists of approximately 106 paintings by artists from all over the world, painted on the east side of the Berlin Wall. It is possibly the largest and everlasting open air gallery in the world. The Kreuzberg flair of an art and culture scenery, growing there steadily since the beginning of the nineties, is interacting with an increasingly big music business, like MTV, Universal, POPKOMM Musicfair, and the third generation of young people with migrant background from all over specially from turkey and south Europe countries. Its surrounded by international culture of subcultural underground pubs and many but only small shopping facilities. Street scenery as well as shops, enterprises and population of the quarter are changing constantly. The PremArts Gallery and Art-Workshop intentionally puts itself into this cultural focus to make use of it and to interfere. PremArts as an Art-Workshop and Gallery offers to artists and other interested people a forum for encounters and exchange in which contemporary new artistic contents and modes of expression are elaborated publicly. The Art-Workshop is neither a typical commercial gallery nor a private studio. Rather, we understand it as self-propagating aesthetic "work in progress" that intends to make perceivable the artistic process, that factually occurs in life, thus searching for the 1:1 congruence between life and art. We understand this work as a form of life art, as a search for real time and reality with the means of art. We invite all artists and other people to participate in this work. Individuals as well as groups can embark in the Art-Workshop on the search of the interface between art and life, without or with us. The room is available to artists, for example, for jointly entering an experimental process, for visual and performing arts, action, concerts, films, theater, exhibitions, seminars, and other topics from allover the world. Presently the "PremArts-Gallery and Arts-Workshop" is organized and structured by Suprema (Prema) and sometimes for digital sounds assisted by Namistyle, (Nami ) both students for Visual and Performing Arts at the Brighton University, who individually and as a duo contribute to the PremArts Gallery" with their own artistic work. The " Art-Workshop" as well as the Gallery are not fixed locally only; rather they form a forum that, due to the effort of the above mentioned operating artists and other participants, grows also at many other locations, for example by communicating personally and through the homepage and webblog.< |
