Write 4 Gold 2009
Write4Gold, the world's biggest graffiti competition, that finally came to New Zealand, South Africa, USA or Great Britain in order to give crews the chance to showcase their talents and represent their country in the finals. For 7 years, the agency CSF Media from Chemnitz organises that unique project in the field of youth events. Write4Gold that means "being creative for the first place" took place for the first time in 2003. In those days, it was known as the first national aerosol art event tour. Since 2004, the event has taken place in whole Europe and also worldwide. Every year, the Write4Gold tries to feature the best and most innovative graffiti crews from all over the world. The event wants to show what's possible to create with a spray can and support a development in accepting this fascinating kind of art by the public. Write4Gold offers participating artists and visitors a regular happening worldwide made for all creative people who want to show their talents, exchange experiences and get to know each other. A pool of international jurors and capable partners in the respective countries will be on the agency's side in the summer when the Write4Gold goes on. Every crew in the world has the opportunity to register on the official Write4Gold website. The eight to ten crews who will be qualified for the respective qualification round are chosen by a special selection procedure.

MIAMI GRAFFITI - Street Art Exhibit, Installation & Book SigningMid-City Arts continues to bring the best of street art to Los Angeles with its latest show honoring the Miami graffiti scene. “Miami Graffiti” opens July 11, 7pm – 9pm and will be on view through July 26th. Rapidly becoming one of the United States' top graffiti destinations, Miami, Florida is home to a deep well of talented artists driven by a fiercely competitive graffiti scene. Miami’s profile has risen thanks to the city’s role as host to the famed "Art Basel" and most recently "Primary Flight.” “Primary Flight” is the internationally acclaimed, site-specific, street level mural installation that takes place during Art Basel. Artists that have graced the Primary Flight walls include Crome, MSG, Typoe as well as Blek Le Rat, Retna, El Mac, David Choe, Revok and many others. Miami Graffiti by photographers Jim and Karla Murray is the first book to capture Miami’s graffiti scene. Documenting 20+ years of graffiti art and history along with Miami's most notorious crews and writers, Miami Graffiti is a detailed presentation of South Florida's past, present, and future of graffiti. Mid City Arts’ "Miami Graffiti” show is a celebration of the release of Jim and Karla Murray's book – they will be on hand to sign books - and a showcase of some of Florida’s finest street artists from the MSG, TCP, SH and THC crews. Artists from these crews are coming out to Los Angeles and will be displaying their work in the gallery as well as customizing the gallery’s back yard space. Featured artists include Crome, Typoe, Acme, Enve, Murder, Afex, Kemo, Cynic, Gere, Flojoe and others. The show is curated by “Slow”. The MSG crew formed in 1994 by a group of kids bonded through their shared street backgrounds and love of graffiti. Now, 14 years later, MSG has evolved into a creative collective that has expanded into everything from graphic design and fine art, to retail and product design, and everything in between. South Florida’s Crome is one that region’s graffiti pioneers. Crome’s work is an amalgam of sex, color, crime and fun. Drawing inspiration from Miami’s clashing of tropical South Beach & seedy underbelly of Downtown Districts, he creates images that reflect the dichotomy between the beauty, style and color of the former, while balancing it with the images of prostitution; drive bys and drugs of the latter. Crome is multifaceted and multi-dimensional. He’s an artist with a dark past and a bright future making his mark on the vanilla, superficial Miami art scene. Mid-City Arts is located at: 5111 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles Ca. 90019 The gallery’s artwork is available to view by the active customer base of 33third, which includes graffiti artists and fans of graffiti art. Mid-City Arts is open Monday through Sunday 12-8PM. For more information, visit:

THEY SEEK HIM HEREBILL LONDON
RareKind Gallery, the UK’s only 100% genuine graffiti art gallery are proud to present the first ever solo show by the award winning artist, Bill London. Arguably one of the UK’s most skilled graffiti artists with a career spanning ten years, Bill London has consistently raised the bar for London Graffiti. His skill, subtlety and innovative subject matter have buyers champing at the bit to get their hands on his illusive canvases. Influenced by an eclectic mix of architectural line, bold colour, traditional tattoo and oriental art, Bill London applies the cloak and dagger elements of purist graffiti ‘Wild Style’ (camouflaged lettering and words through intricate manipulation) with delicate aesthetic elements and layering to create hypnotic final pieces, which can be appreciated on infinite levels. Alongside these wild-style canvases, the ‘They Seek Him Here’ show also includes a series of 3 illustrative, concept pieces, exploring themes on Britain’s dark, alluring urban and social landscape; and as part of the exhibition, an entire wall of the 1,000ft gallery has been covered with small canvasses overlaid with a graffiti mural, which will then be divided up as small artworks. Private View/Press Night - Thursday 9th July 09 - RSVP bex@rarekind.co.uk RareKind London, 49 Bethnal Green Road, Shoreditch, London, E1 6LA www.rarekind.co.uk

Give Me A Wall So I Can Escape
2 exhibitions A Confluences, entrée libre – galerie ouverte de 10h à 18hExposition collective pour dévoiler un panorama du graff en Europe. Le photographe se posera ici comme un médiateur pour donner à voir les tendances et l’art du graff. De part leurs expériences ou leurs errances urbaines, les photographes dévoileront ce que leurs yeux ont retenu de l’expression du graff à Paris, Strasbourg, Barcelone, Londres, Berlin, ou encore Amsterdam, dans une scénographie qui ne dénaturera pas l’œuvre urbaine initiale !
Artistes : PhotoGraffCollectif (France- Berlin) A Frichez-nous la paix, entrée libre- galerie ouverte à partir de 15HEn parallèle, Frichez-nous la paix propose, dès le 10 juillet, l’exposition d’artistes graffeurs coutumiers de la rue Dénoyez. Pour balayer les stéréotypes qui restraigent l’art du graff, la galerie propose des œuvres sur toile au-delà du tag et des lettrages. La toile ne sera pas une limite pour la peinture car les murs même seront investis. Lors du festival des films seront projetés sur le mur extérieur faisant face à la galerie.
Artistes : 3615, Astro, Kanos, JB, Kouka, La Mouche, Hieroglyf, Skio, SP38, Ring et bien d’autres... Sur les vestiges du mur de Berlin, ce graffiti à encre rouge dévoile le pouvoir des mots, des images. « Donne-moi un mur pour que je m’évade » est devenu un symbole du graff comme moyen d’expression et de revendication, brisant les limites qui s’imposent à lui-même. Cet événement met à l’honneur le « Street art » et les cultures urbaines. En invitant les talents émergents ou confirmés de la nouvelle scène urbaine, Confluences et Frichez- nous la paix s’engagent auprès d’eux par la mise à disposition de leurs espaces. Le festival s’installe autour de ces deux pôles en proposant une série d’événements qui se répondent. L’ambition commune est de laisser le champ libre aux collectifs d’artistes pour investir nos murs pendant trois semaines de juillet. Le festival s’ouvre à Confluences avec une exposition photos regroupant une sélection d’œuvres photographiées aux quatre coins de l’Europe. Suit une performance graphique qui consiste à réaliser une fresque grandeur nature sur toute la terrasse, accompagnée de musique live. En parallèle, Frichez-nous la paix propose l’exposition de toiles d’artistes. Conscient que le graff est une pratique contestataire qui prend toute sa force dans la rue, la scénographie de ces expositions est conçue par les artistes eux-mêmes. Ils investissent autant l’intérieur que l’extérieur des locaux Un réel espace d’expression est laissé à nos activistes urbains. Des soirées de projections de films et des ateliers d’initiation à l’art du graff viendront également ponctuer le festival, qui s’achèvera sur des airs de BeatBox et de Slam.

JonOne
Vernissage le samedi 4 Juillet 2009 de 18h à 21h La Galerie Magda Danysz continue d’affirmer son soutien de longue date au street art et accueille entre ses murs l’incroyable graffeur JonOne, précurseur du graffiti en France dès les années 80. A cette occasion, JonOne s’installe pour sa plus grande exposition personnelle à ce jour. Graffeur, peintre abstrait, JonOne est incontestablement un artiste reconnu pour ses toiles et son travail à travers le monde. Ses couleurs, débordantes d’une énergie communicative, confèrent à ses toiles un aspect de vitraux contemporains. C’est au cœur des quartiers pauvres de Harlem que JonOne commence à bomber les trains et les murs. « Le métro, c'est un musée qui traverse la ville ». Il est l’un des premiers graffeurs New- Yorkais à Paris, l’influence de l’Amérique et de l’Europe dans son travail peut être ressentie mais il arrive pourtant à trouver son propre style, « chacune de mes toiles est une improvisation abstraite », dit-il de son travail. C’est un artiste qui n’arrête jamais, comme il aime à le dire, il a besoin de cette création artistique pour s’épanouir. Cette nouvelle exposition attire tant par la grandeur des toiles que par les couleurs utilisées qui séduisent l’œil du visiteur. « Aujourd’hui, je sais d’avance quelles couleurs je vais utiliser. J’essaie de mettre des formes plus poétiques, alors qu’avant je faisais des couleurs un peu violentes. » JonOne amène ainsi l’art de la rue dans une galerie : « Je voudrais que le monde de l’art considère mon travail, certes, comme le travail émanant d’un esprit de rue, mais aussi comme le travail de JonOne ». Bien qu’elle puisse paraître antithétique au street art, la volonté de s’exprimer sur une toile, interroge et plaît aujourd’hui à tous. JonOne, acrylique sur toile, 180x120cm, 2008

DECIMALS REBUILT [416]
Opening Reception July 11th FUNCTION13 Gallery is proud to present the 4th installment of the multidisciplinary art exhibition DECIMALS REBUILT. After two years of construction, the exhibition consists of over 35 paintings, graphics, and experimental animations all created to reflect MEDIAH's conceptual world. This is MEDIAH's most extensive collection of work to date, culminating in a single immersive exhibition that will be sure to excite and inspire. DECIMALS REBUILT has travelled to Montreal, Winnipeg, Ottawa and after much anticipation will open in Toronto at the Function13 Gallery! The exhibition combines the artistic genres of contemporary painting, digital media; such as animation and graphic design and street art into one environment. Each piece draws the parallels between human emotion, evolutionary existence, progressive responsibility and spirituality. As part as the functionality, Decimals Rebuilt will introduce the dynamic between social interactions and the principals of math. The exhibition creates a multilevel atmosphere for the audience. MEDIAH's work consists of weaving traditional street art forms with digital media, traditional painterly techniques and digital animation which result in an aesthetic grounding based in many of the forms and approaches found in the workof Futurist painters of the early 20th century. The result of which glorifies and captures the essence of speed, motion, dynamism and force to create movement in the image surface. However, MEDIAH's work simultaneously provides the viewer with not only this glorification of speed relating to the thirst for a faster and more streamline world but also its unavoidable repercussions of collision, disaster and chaos.

CISA Gallery opened its door in February 2007. CISA Gallery is an extension of CISA Studio, a multimedia graphics art company.

CARHARTT GALLERY
Big names meet different styles and disciplines in a unique mix of urban art and culture. Artists from USA to Europe will show their work within a square of 300qm in 16 exposition boxes. Living legends such as Seen (USA) and Blek le Rat (F) together with expressive and individual young talents provide an eclectic range of streetart. Not just colors and canvas decorate the walls but also installations, novel typographies and cuckoo clocks, giving art an innovative and contemporary stamp. The result is provocation in a very characteristic and authentic way of presenting art and forms with an urban origin that brings the artists visions to life. The unique exhibition can be visited from June to August in the Carhartt Gallery in Weil am Rhein. video trailer for Public Provocations Shok-1's photos of the Public Provocations artwork

« Les Pragois, Prague-Paris Street art workshop »Le Street art est l’art de l’espace urbain : inspiré par le milieu des villes, il sublime celui-ci, ici par une installation imposante, là par quelque élément ludique, passant presque inaperçu au passant moins attentif. L’affiche, le sticker, le pochoir, la peinture, la mosaïque, l’installation… aucun moyen d’expression ne lui est étranger. Il a par ailleurs le grand mérite de réactiver deux dimensions essentielles pour l’art moderne : l’anonymat et la fugacité. Par définition, il est certes curieux que cet art de la rue s’expose dans les galeries. Loin de vouloir présenter des artefacts figés, le Centre tchèque a décidé d’organiser un workshop, invitant certains des plus importants créateurs du Street art tchèque (entre autres : Point, Bior et Tron) et français (Stak, Honet, Samuel-Francois...) a investir librement l’espace du Centre et de ses alentours. La présente exposition en sera le fruit. Par ailleurs, nous vous invitons à visiter le Centre les jours précédant le vernissage pour voir les artistes au travail ! Exposition ouverte du 19 juin au 12 septembre, du lundi au vendredi de 9h à 12h, du mardi au vendredi de 13h à 18h, nocturne le jeudi jusqu’à 20h, le samedi de 14h à 19h. Entrée libre.

Toneladas deles, construíndo nosso tesouro... Tiramos o que serve. E com os dejetos e resíduos, o que fazer? Quadro irreversível? Isso não nos importa. Queremos progresso conforto e Glória. Afinal qual é o seu “tesouro”?" Dninja Mineira de Belo Horizonte, há 5 morando em Santo André. Carrega em suas pinturas, um pouco da marca cultural de sua origem que é enriquecida cada dia mais com novas convivências, novas descobertas e viagens. Criou uma ligação artística com muitos elementos folclóricos , definindo seu estilo em uma ligação com o urbano e o folclórico; a natureza e seus elementos. Seus personagens vem de um mundo desconhecido, criados com inspirações pelos animais e de sua convivência com as diferentes personalidades humanas. Sua pintura carrega a lembrança do cerrado mineiro e a cultura ali enraizada; onde, quando tem tempo, tenta tirar um pouco de inspiração.

"There's Aliens in Our Midst"New Works by AJ Fosik
Opening Reception Saturday, June 13th 7-11pm AJ Fosik's stuffed trophy mounts come to life in vibrant, ferocious creatures that defy and conquer. Redefining tradition, he taps into a psychadelic color palette combined with motifs from American folk imagery. In this new body of work, AJ focuses on brighter neon colors, more complex compositions, and characters evolved into something entirely undiscovered. Using one of the least explored mediums in contemporary lowbrow art, AJ takes the lead in three-dimensional conversations about American culture.

The Mac and Retna
Mid-City Arts is proud to present a live painting event and exhibit opening featuring two of Los Angeles’ most respected graffiti artists: Retna and The Mac. The opening event takes place Sunday June 7th 12pm – 6pm at 33Third. The art exhibit will be on display in the adjoining Mid-City Arts gallery, which recently hosted the first ever gallery exhibit from Chaka, LA’s most infamous graffiti writer. The new exhibit from Retna and The Mac will feature a large-scale indoor mural installation in addition to smaller pieces. Retna says that the show “will be representative of the remembrance of growing up as a youth.” They will aim to re-enact “the trials & triumphs of pursuing an art form that you have all this passion for, but yet angers all these people. Just kind of showing the 2 different sides to it.” This is a topic near and dear to the artists’ hearts, echoing sentiments shared by many of today’s successful artists who have transitioned from graffiti to legitimate street art. “This is where we came from. We came from being these street kids. We wanted to show that you can keep going,” explains Retna. “It's a beautiful thing to be a part of a culture like this that has spread throughout the world and this would be our way of giving back to an area, a city, a community that was the beginning of my career (Mid-City Area of Los Angeles). Those blocks and corners were where I was given the opportunity to do my art and was shown a lot of support by the community. Communities like these are where we come from and it feels good to give something back to the future generation of kids doing this.”

REINKINGPROJEKTE - Urban Art - Collection Reinking
A collaboration between Reinking Projects and Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien. In cooperation with the 32nd German Protestant Kirchentag, May 20–24, 2009, in Bremen. Special thanks go out to the Friends of the Weserburg. Opening: May 15, 2009, 7:00 p.m. Urban Art is everywhere. Unsolicited, it leaves its traces and signs in urban space. It conquers public space with stickers, posters, extensive murals, and stencil graffiti. It’s galleries are the world’s streets. What began as graffiti in the large cities on America’s east coast forty years ago has since experienced a decisive development. Even if the majority of actions continue to be produced anonymously and illegally, it is no longer exclusively a phenomenon associated with youth culture. Many of the protagonists have emancipated themselves from the pictorial language of graffiti writing and experimented with new forms of expression. With their subtle and humorous, occasionally offensive interventions in the urban landscape they attempt to force open familiar visual habits. As a rule, they are not concerned with damaging the urban infrastructure but with participating in a dialogue with the public. There is a variety of Urban Art. Temporary actions, unusual objects and sculptures, lettering, and characters are woven into the visual flow of the city as stumbling blocks. The possibility that many of the passers-by take no notice of these interventions is consciously taken into account. Thus they comprise a subversive counterweight to the constant presence of advertising, whose blinking images and seductive buying options dominate everyday life. It is not only in this respect that Urban Art is the expression of a critical examination of the social, cultural, and economic dimensions of the city, which in the age of globalization is rapidly and sustainably changing. Urban Art has recently experienced a downright hype. Numerous galleries and museums around the world have organized exhibitions, and works by the most well-known representatives of the genre have gained premium prices at auctions. What some accuse of being commercialization, the loss of authenticity, and the betrayal of original interests is viewed by many artists as a new chance. By transferring their themes and methods in the protected space of the museum, they develop very new and surprising approaches. But what kind of art is this that leaves its ancestral terrain? Do the works not require the city as a resonating space, as an immediate opponent? And is one of the essential features of Urban Art not its impermanence, its spontaneity? The Weserburg will be devoting itself to these questions in a large-scale exhibition centered around works from the Reinking Collection. The Hamburg-based collector Rik Reinking is a man of conviction. He has for many years now been accompanying numerous artists in the scene with great passion and intensity. His collection now includes representative works by some of the most influential protagonists. These include such well-known names as Banksy (UK), DAIM (Germany), Brad Downey (USA), Os Gemeos (Brazil), Shepard Fairey (USA), and Zevs (France). The exhibition will be supplemented by several artistic stances and new works, which have in part been produced specifically for Bremen. In addition, artistic interventions are planned in the Hanseatic city’s public space. Thus the exhibition will not only afford insight into a still young, unusual collection, it is at the same time a venue for the most recent developments of non-conformist art form that is in a constant state of flux. The exhibition will be supplemented by an attractive supporting program with workshops, walks through town, film evenings, and discussions and thus stimulate a lively as well as critical examination of the phenomenon of Urban Art. In addition, a comprehensive catalogue will be published including numerous illustrations and texts that are worth reading. The exhibition concept was developed by Ingo Clauß, curator at the Weserburg; Adrian Nabi, who as the initiator and curator of Berlin’s Backjumps exhibitions is one of the most well-known aficionados of the scene; and the collector Rik Reinking, who has been closely connected with the museum for many years. Responding to an invitation by the 32nd German Protestant Kirchentag (May 20–24, 2009), parallel to the exhibition, Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien is realizing the project Sign Seeing in Bremen. Besides highly interesting events related to Urban Art, the Copenhagen-based artist Victor Ash will be designing all four sides of an overhead hopper and thus set an example for a lively examination of street art. A collaboration between Reinking Projects and Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien. In cooperation with the 32nd German Protestant Kirchentag, May 20–24, 2009, in Bremen.

Weserburg Museum für moderne Kunst
JOSÉ PARLÁ: READING THROUGH SEEING, NEW WORKSOoi Botos Gallery is pleased to announce Reading Through Seeing, an exhibition by contemporary artist José Parlá, on view 14 May through 11 July 2009. This will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong and will showcase new paintings, works on paper, photographs and ceramic works. The exhibition will take place during Art HK 09 and will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with essays by scholars Alexandra Chang of New York University — Asia Pacific Center and critical theorist and art historian Michael Betancourt. José Parlá’s new works are inspired by his recent travels in France, Japan and the United Kingdom. Parlá’s unique and playful inscriptions and diary-like gestures with his trademark hand–writing recall his personal observations of how the idiosyncratic behavior of anonymous individuals on those distant streets distinctly impact each geographical environment. The complexity of José Parlá’s mixed media paintings is based on the layering of images and paraphernalia collected from his daily encounters at home and his adventures abroad, interpreted through his dynamic gestural process. Interleaved through each work is Parlá’s calligraphic script, which infuses each piece with vibrancy, energy and meaning. Memories, thoughts, ideas, quotes, phrases, conversations and observations scrawled in Parlá’s instantly recognizable, flowing script reflect his characteristic fusion of writing and painting, word and image. His brushwork depicts walls in the city, or in rural areas outside of urban centers, while his mélange of imagery and words hint at stories within stories, an evocation of the places that have deeply affected him. The story-telling nature of José Parlá’s work is mesmerizing. At first glance, his paintings are reminiscent of an abandoned street alley, but as one’s eyes linger, one realizes the density and complexity of overflowing imagery. Parlá’s innate gift of capturing both the chaos and the tranquility of the city has moved countless viewers. About José Parlá José Parlá is a New-York based artist whose paintings reflect the way in which cities function as palimpsests. Born in Miami, Parlá traveled in the Caribbean, South America, Asia and Europe in the 1990s before settling permanently in New York. His work has been collected and exhibited by Agnes B. Galerie Du Jour in Paris and Takashi Murakami’s Kai Kai Ki Ki gallery in Tokyo. Major recent exhibitions include, The New Grand Tour showing in Hong Kong and Beijing (2007-08), Adaptation / Translation at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms in London (2008), and Layered Days with Cristina Grajales’ Soho gallery in New York City (2008). About Ooi Botos Gallery Ooi Botos is Hong Kong’s leading avant-garde gallery specializing in photography, digital media, video and installation. In fact, the José Parlá exhibition marks a departure from Ooi Botos’ customary program, with Parlá being the only painter represented by the gallery. Ooi Botos is dedicated to exposing the public to art forms rarely seen in Hong Kong to raise the level of discourse about art in Asia. Opening: May 14th, 2009 at 6 p.m. Free to the public. Ooi Botos is located at 5 Gresson Street, Wanchai, Hong Kong. Gallery Hours: Tuesday to Friday 11.30 A.M. – 3 P.M. and 6 P.M. – 8 P.M., Saturday 11 A.M. – 6 P.M. Tel. +852 2527 9733
