Aerosol Warfare Art

"Disposable"

disp2webx.jpg

From the graphics and logos to the culture and style, skateboarding and art go hand in hand! Unfortunatey, artwork on skateboards (no matter how dope) isn't ment to last past the 1st grind, making the art 'disposable'. Aerosol Warfare is taking that concept and flipping it inside out! This time around, the Art on the board is the focus and not the gnarly tricks you can do with it.

Our 'art call' was very successful (Thanks in part to the good people at ArtCrimes) and we are proud to present a wide variety of talent for your viewing pleasure! From Portland to Chicago, Seattle to Hollywood and every city in bewteen! *We are still accpeting Boards thru Halloween, Oct 31st.

Most Wanted: Alex Fakso

Un progetto 55DSL a sostegno dell'arte in cui il brand si identifica presenta il terzo appuntamento italiano POO ON ART, il progetto internazionale di 55DSL a sostegno dell'arte alternativa, che si prefigge di esporre gli stili e le tecniche più attuali, innovative e disparate, passando dalla pittura, alla scultura, alla fotografia fino al graphic design.

ALEX FAKSO

E arte che ci circonda, è arte che colora i muri delle città, è arte che viaggia su un treno che diventa superficie in movimento. Si tratta di espressioni creative che ci colpiscono ogni giorno: cè chi semplicemente le ammira, chi le disprezza come atto vandalico. E chi come Alex Fakso ne documenta la creazione con fotografie che hanno il sapore della scoperta di un mondo nascosto, il mondo del writing.

Alex Fakso classe 1977 è un fotografo che è andato ad indagare nella spray art, nella vita di writer in azione mentre dipingono le loro opere. Quattro anni di ricerche per questo giovane artista che, con lo stile del reportage fotografico, trasporta lo spettatore in unavventura fatta di tensione, notte, velocità e creatività.

Dominano bianco e nero, forti contrasti e lunghe esposizioni per raccontare le tensioni della notte dei writer, anche se lunicità dell opera di Alex Fakso è nell inquadratura, nel saper cogliere un momento che ha il sapore del realismo estremo nell atto creativo.

Quaranta opere inedite legate al writing tratte dal repertorio di immagini di Alex Fakso saranno in mostra presso lo store di 55DSL di Corso Di Porta Ticinese 75 a Milano dal 9 ottobre al 9 novembre 2003, nell ambito di Poo On Art, progetto internazionale di arte alternativa.

HENCHMEN AND CRONIES

henchmen-and-cronies-webx.jpg

The Community Self- Determination Institute (CSDI) and Artists With A Vision premiers an exhibit of characters by a cast of characters, MIDZT, GZER, VYAL, and DUCE, some of Los Angeles' most prolific graffiti artists. In the neck-breaking speed at which graffiti art evolves, characters play vital roles in the development of this urban aesthetic.

Incarnated in spraypaint, acrylics and other media, these characters embody the artists' often comical and satirical worldview. Whether they are twisted, surreal visions or poignant political criticisms, they reflect both the darkest and most light-hearted aspects of our humanity. As simple one-dimensional characters or complex multi-colored dioramic images, on walls or on canvases, graffiti characters demand attention and challenge spectators with their wit.

Once again, Artists With A Vision and CSDI brings you another show that will rattle your senses with mind-blowing art straight from L.A. As always, music will be spinning, poetry will be popping with live spinning and an open mike session. Come one, come all.

From Sept.8 to Nov.7 the 18th Street Arts Complex will be hosting a show of Graffiti blackbook drawings by noted L.A. Graffiti Artists entitled FLIP THE SCRIPT. The Blackbook has long been a part of Graffiti, or Writing, culture since its earliest days, and the ideas, tags and sketches found within the Writer's book have, over time, become works in and of themselves. This is the first show of its kind in Los Angeles that will showcase selected blackbook works from the private archives of Writers who open up their books and share a bit of history, secret styles, punch lines and moments of spontaneity that are as much a part of the culture of Writing as the spraycan itself. The term 'FLIP THE SCRIPT' comes from the fact that Writers take mainstream fonts, or scripts, and flip them (i.e. co-opt them) into their own visual language, the backbone of Graffiti's codified communication aesthetic. These processes usually begin in the Blackbook and often end up transforming the urban landscape. The show is curated by Nuke UTI, Duke K2S-STN and Tempt K2S-STN, and contains over 55 works stemming from 1986-present, done in a variety of media all centered around the pen, with a wide array of style, philosophy and approach. There are three generations represented in the show (80's, 90's and the present), including some of L.A.'s best and most diverse Writers and crews. The reception for the show will be held on Oct. 18 from 7PM-Midnite, with live music and drinks. There will also be limited edition signed and numbered prints of each artist's work for sale at the show.

DUROCIA.COM AND NYC LASE PRESENTS

THE 1ST ANNUAL BACK TO THE STREETS NEW YORK CITY FESTIVAL

SUNDAY OCTOBER 5TH 2003
12pm to 6pm and the party continues all night

"Street Jams" were very popular in New York City back in the mid to late 70s. It was a venue where the best of the best (DJs, Breakers, and MCs/Rappers) would show off their skills. These events would draw crowds in the thousands. One, because it was free and secondly, because the purity of the street culture was at its finest in its natural environment -- the street!

These type of gatherings have been extinct for nearly 30 years. But due to the world wide resurgence of New York's original street culture, it is now time to resurrect the street jam and take it to the next level as a full blown festival. This will happen by including live graffiti, street fashions, car displays, old and new school DJs, break dance battles, indoor and outdoor festivities such as film screenings, underground art shows, live musical performances from the legends of yesterday and today, and an area on the street for various companies to promote and sell their products.



• DJ Kool Herc (the original father of hip hop)
• DJ Grimmace
• NYC LASE (NYC's original graffiti street bomber)
• Live Painting by World's Famous Graffiti Tats Cru
• All out break dance battle between The Breaks Cru (NYC) and The Floor Lords (Boston)
• Live Performance by the Lordz of Brooklyn (who have just dropped their latest album, "Graffiti Roc", worldwide and who after touring on the Vans Warped Tour are currently on the Sprite remix tour)

The World's Best Beatboxer @ Wales' Best Hip-hop Night

(Welsh Music Awards)
Thursday October 2nd 2003

Killa Kela has the ability to make up to 6 noises at once! Incorporating versions of Sade, Soul II Soul and Jeru The Damaja alongside some blistering Hip-hop and Drum and Bass workouts. His rendition of Mary J Blige's Be Happy has him beatboxing, scratching and singing the chorus and verses, all at the same time, using just his mouth and a microphone. It really has to be seen to be believed.

With such a buzz currently surrounding the Rock Steady Crew member and ex- Scratch Pervert this night is promised to be even greater than the last time he amazed the masses at the Toucan Club. Bringing with him one of the UK's most exciting new deejay talents DJ SKELETRIX for a 2 hour set mixing up turntable trickery with his mind-boggling vocal routines, Kela is set to prove the reason why he is without a doubt the best beat-boxer in the world.

THE BOGSIDE ARTISTS EXHIBITION

Mon - Sat 12 - 6 Private View Saturday September 6th, doors 7.30pm

FREE DERRY COMES TO LONDON

The Horse Hospital is honoured to present Northern Ireland's The Bogside Artists. The group, Tom Kelly, Kevin Masson and William Kelly, are famous for their murals in the area of Derry, Northern Ireland, known as Free Derry Corner. These large-scale murals explicitly depict key images of the Troubles in the city since 1968. This exhibition of their work is a chronicle of those events within the struggle that the artists consider to have been the most significant during the last thirty years. Displayed in installation as vast 12 x 9 foot vinyl hangings, the original murals were created as powerful re-presentations of a photographic moment of profound local symbolism, funded through donations of paint, supplies and door to door collections from the residents of the buildings they grace. Although the exhibition has toured widely throughout the world to great success, this is the first show in England for the artists, as the material has hitherto been seen as too delicate and controversial for exhibition within mainland Britain. The works are a moving testament to the power of art as historical document; the importance of documentation within the history of art, and the power of art within society; a creative process that situates the past as something we must acknowledge within the present, and from which we can draw strength. "We do not play down the contextual significance that lends itself to the work. Neither are we militant propagandists, tribal fantasists or proponents of the us-versus-them delusion that is still causing such evils around the world." Tom Kelly, Kevin Masson and William Kelly : The Bogside Artists.

URBAN DREAM 2

urbandreambelg2003x.jpg

L'art urbain est, cette année, de nouveau à l'honneur dans les rues de Marchienne-au-Pont.

Du 3 au 7 septembre 2003, une septantaine de graffeurs et peintres vont en effet investir plusieurs murs situés à la route de Mons ainsi qu'à la rue de la Providence afin de les transformer en véritables uvres d'art. Les meilleurs artistes européens et mondiaux vont donc travailler main dans la main afin d'apporter, cette année encore, de la couleur et de la gaieté dans un paysage trop longtemps marqué par l'industrie.

Durant cette semaine, une exposition sera créée. Les artistes présents réaliseront en effet chacun une toile. Ces peintures seront ensuite présentées à la Maison Pour Association, au Palais des Beaux-Arts ainsi qu'à la Maison de la Culture de Charleroi.

There'll be also a Hall Of Fame next to the festival/ Il y a aussi un mur d'expression libre à côté du festival!

THE ALEMANY FARMERS MARKET

The Largest community MURAL Project in SF History

Event: Community Mural Painting

Dates: Each Saturday and Sunday, August 16 - Sept. 28, 2003

Time: 11:00am - 5:00pm

Location: Alemany Farmers' Market, 100 Alemany Boulevard

Precita Eyes Muralists have completed painting the murals for 16 of the 44 stalls with the historic Alemany Farmers Market at 100 Alemany Boulevard in San Francisco. Precita Eyes has scheduled the completion of the remaining stalls for each Saturday and Sunday from August 16th - September 28, 2003. The community murals were designed by a collaborative group of over 20 artists and youth who, together with the farmers, vendors and the community, will transform 4180 square feet of the forty-four stalls at the Alemany Farmers Market with images dedicated to fresh fruits, vegetables, and honoring the farm workers. The public is invited to help complete the mural project and can call Precita Eyes Mural Art Center at (415)-285-2287 for more information.

The Farmers Market opened on August 12, 1943, and has been wonderful to the small farmers of California, most of whom operate from several to fifty acres, and who were often by-passed by the regular food outlets on the pretense of insufficient production of any one commodity. These are the farmers who are the backbone of American agriculture and to a great extent, the Farmers Market has been their salvation, saving their crops, which for lack of a market would have rotted on the ground. Visitors are thrilled by the colorful displays, the country atmosphere, the makeup of the patrons and farmers and the great feeling of friendliness.

Graffiti and street artists have never been quite as popular worldwide as they are today. They have been incorporated into many Fortune 500's marketing and advertising campaigns and are very prevalent in today's MTV driven music and fashion industries. It's hard to watch tv or flip through a magazine without coming upon an image inspired by graffiti and street art or created by the artists themselves.

STREET DREAMS is a celebration of graffiti and street art. STREET DREAMS focuses on some of today's top graffiti artists who have been pushing the limits of the alphabet beyond imagine, and rounds itself off with billboard liberator Ron English, street propaganda artist Shepard Fairey, and several photographers such as Ricky Powell (for ever made notorious by the Beastie Boys) and Estevan Oriol (whom has shot the likes of: Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Cypress Hill and many more of today's rap stars) whose lenses have captured this unique culture.

STREET DREAMS is the concept of three people that has been brewing for quite some time. Eddie Donaldson, the man behind the ever popular guerillone.com web site that show cases artist talents, Casey "EKLIPS" Zoltan, who is the inventor of the graffifi driven clothing company "theseventhletter" and rumored to be the founder of notorious California graffiti crews AWR and MSK, and publisher Roger Gastman who is better known as the founder of While You Were Sleeping magazine.

For STREET DREAMS the three have simply opened their phone books and invited their friends in family to participate in what is surely to be more than just a trendy art show. STREET DREAMS is an event of the spectacular, a who's who of this underbelly world of graffiti and street art, an event not to be missed.

* New magazine: submissions deadline 12 September

Artillery: Brisbane Australia

Issue 1 is due to hit shelves around October.

To correctly represent the best and most innovative graffiti writers, bombers, street artists, illustrators, designers, photographers, skaters, train drivers and arse-scratchers from Australia and abroad we are calling on you for submissions.

If your piece is in an interesting or busy location, make sure you do it justice by capturing the surroundings when you photograph it.

Tell us about your work, if you have something interesting to say about a piece (artistic concept, got chased, something unusual happened etc) then let us know.

When putting together your pack of poops to send to us, we ask that you keep the following things in mind:

ORIGINALITY: We are only seeking unpublished photographs. No-one wants to see the same images printed in every mag out there, so if you've sent it to another publication then don't bother sending it to us.

QUALITY: Please take care when documenting your work, blurry or angled images will only poorly represent your art and we wont print them anyway. We also ask that you send actual photographs not scanned images on a disk because if we decide to print your work big we will be scanning it on a drum-scanner (industrial hi-quality)

CREDITS: Always write any relevant information on the back of each photo: Artist, Date, Location etc. If you didn't do the art in the flick then drop your name there too so when we are putting the submission credits list together we know whose photos we used.

RETURN ADDRESS: If you can't be bothered to duplicate you flicks before you pop them in the post and you would like them returned then include a stamped, self-addressed envelope so we can send them back your way.

We will be running a small news section, so keep us updated: If you are having an exhibition, releasing a new product, on an all-city destroy mission, having a graffiti jam, holding a concert, uploading a new website etc etc. If you think anything is relevant then drop us an email or send a sample of your product for review.

* Montreal, Vancouver, Winnipeg, St. Johns, Canada: Summer 2003

Carte blanche for young creators: terminus1525 launches its Summer activities for Montreal.

terminus1525

the open space for emerging creators, announces its Summer activities for Montreal. From June to September, up and coming artists will take the stage by storm, where freedom, social engagement and party will be the key-words. The program consists of: mural paintings from graffiti artists Hest and Turf in the streets and back-alleys of the Plateau, free workshops on the art of graffiti and on the professional development of musicians at the start of their career, the Murmur initiative as well as a multidisciplinary event and concert.

During the entire Summer, Montreal, just like Vancouver, Winnipeg and St. John's, will witness a flood of young artists of diverse influences (urban culture, new-medias, traditional arts ...). Activities will be brought into play by the terminus1525 producers in each of these cities

Montreal producer Lou Piensa, himself a Hiphop artist, wants to give a platform to this new generation of artists, thereby making these forms of expression accessible to others.

* 8 steps to: a gallery of eight mural paintings in the streets and back-lanes of the Plateau (June and July)

* workshops on the art of graffiti (June and July)

During the months of June and July, parallel activities will be held in various Youth Centres across Montreal : free three day workshops on the art of graffiti. Turf and Hest will conduct these workshops which will include a group of 5 to 6 youths between the ages of 14 and 18. The latter will have a chance to learn the history of graffiti, receive training on the various techniques of this art and collectively create a mural on the premises of the Centre. This is a positive and tangible way for youths to express their creativity and discover their latent talents, also offering the artists the opportunity to share their experience with the younger generation.

Annex 2: Workshops on the art of graffiti Participating Centres and organisations:

Youth In Motion- From June 9th to the 11th Maison des Jeunes de Côtes-des-Neiges - From June 20th to the 22nd École Jeanne-Mance (CLSC) - From June 26th to the 28th HLM Rachel & Mentana (CLSC) - From June 30th to July 2nd Maison des Jeunes de Pointe-St-Charles - From July 7th the 9th Maison des Jeunes du Plateau - From July 14th to the 16th

SHEFFIELD UK FESTIVAL

3dom200301x.jpg

3DOM is now an annual event following its successful launch last year by organisers The NonStop Foundation. Under the motto 'look, listen, learn', it presents a celebration of music, art, dance and sports.

Skitz and Rodney P, Lisa Maffia, Ricochet Klashnekoff and Tempa, and Mista Jam.

World class breakdance crews Under Attack, Trinity Crew and Major Props will perform through the day, and everyone can take part on the Open Dance Floor hosted by TruMasters.

Skateboard and BMX competitions will be held all day on the Devonshire Green skatepark. All skaters and boarders will be welcome.

Finally, 3DOM will offer fairground rides and attractions for all the family - a bouncy castle, bucking bronco, face painting, nail art, magic show, balloon modelling, barfly and slide, and digital T-shirt printing.

Thousands turned out in Bank Holiday sun at 3DOM on Sheffield's Devonshire Green. Many had come to see the queen of the UK urban music scene, Lisa Maffia of So Solid Crew.

But many more had come to see the 'live spray can art demonstrations' which 3DOM's organisers the NonStop Foundationhad advertised.

Britain's own Part2, a late but very able replacement for Temper, and Germany's Daim held their crowd spellbound for hours as they worked under the sun on their huge canvases.

From a 1 pm start, both were finshed by 6 and the results can be seen in the accompanying pictures.

Under Pressure

up_2003_frontx.jpg up_03_backx.jpg

Graffiti writing / B-Boy battle / Outdoor Show / Indoor Show / Skate Ramp

Every August for the last seven years, writers, hip-hop enthusiasts, and innocent bystanders have gathered in Montreal to take part in what has become one of the biggest and best graffiti expos in North America. With 100 of the world's finest writers demonstrating their skills to the sounds of Montreal's baddest deejays and emcees, it's a day you don't want to be caught sleeping. In past years the staff at Under Pressure have used stealth and intelligence to make this an entirely free event.

Unfortunately, recent economic pinches have also hit the hip-hop community. While the event is still free for all spectators, this year participating writers are being asked for a $40 registration fee. This fee provides each writer with pre-primed wall space, scaffolding, five cans of Montana paint, an Under Pressure t-shirt, a copy of the new Under Pressure magazine, an Up North Trip 2 hip-hop compilation, and free admission to the nighttime concert.

Under Pressure is meant to showcase talented writers and to bring together the hip-hop community for a day of summertime fun. Without you there is no community. See you in August.

The Department of Space and Land Reclamation Wants You!

www.dslrwest.org

The newly-founded Western Division of the Department of Space and Land Reclamation (DSLR-West) is pleased to announce an Open Call for Submissions and Participation in the first-ever Space and Land Reclamation Campaign west of the Mississippi. Converging in San Francisco for 72 hours of non-stop occupation, intervention, recreation, and re-invention of public space, the DSLR-West campaign will take place in the first weekend in October.

Using the infamous art/punk rock/community center, Mission Badlands/Balazo Gallery as a center of operations, DSLR-West will establish a hub from which projects will radiate out across the metropolis. The emphasis of this campaign is on the creative usage and appropriation of public space by autonomous individuals and groups from all walks of life. DSLR-West is not just interested in Art! We are interested in people taking back their cities with a wide range of methods and approaches.

We want to work with, encourage, and be encouraged by people who want to reclaim the streets and buildings, the empty lots and back alleys, the skies and the waterways. As such we welcome submissions from artists and non-artists alike - urban gardeners, media tacticians, pirate radio, interventions, graffiti, pranks, social services, snake-charmers, performance artists, buskers, landscape alterations, pie-throwers, street sculpture, agit-prop, aerialists, 'zine-sters, monkey-wrenchers, billboard manipulators, hackers, activists, cultural saboteurs, kite-fliers, renegade taxi-drivers, anarchitects, muralists, bike brigades, skaters, perfumers, aesthetic bounty-hunters, magicians, musicians & mariachi, b-boys, grrrls & gender-benders are all encouraged.

Entries will be selected by the following criteria (proposals should have one or more of these points in mind):

1) The project is specifically geared towards reclaiming space in the Bay Area (we will try to assist, but participants must work out the details of their spatial reclamations). Site-specificity (e.g. - the trolley stop on Powell and Market) and site-generality (e.g. - public transportation) are equally acceptable but should be stated to help us better organize.

2) The project provides free materials from the DSLR-West HQ to visitors/participants for distribution, installation, and/or operation in public space (i.e. - stickers, 'zines, posters, smoke bombs, stencils, condoms, how-to manuals, noise-makers, first-aid kits, handcuff keys, kites, etc, etc, etc).

3) The project is interactive, collaborative, and/or relational with other individuals, groups, participants or visitors (i.e. - workshops, teach-ins, cooking, legal services, scavenger hunts, bike rides, protests, blood drives, etc, etc, etc). These types of projects may take place at the DSLR-West HQ, or may use the headquarters as a meeting place/laboratory.

4) All projects will be video-documented and screened on monitors at the DSLR-West HQ. A corresponding city map will allow visitors to reference the project and its location in the urban environment.

5) Although the campaign will be occurring around-the-clock, individual projects are not bound to any spatial or temporal restrictions.

Please send submissions to be received by August 22, 2003 to:

DSLR-West
865A 52nd St.
Oakland, CA 94608

or email: onward@dslrwest.org

DSLR-West is organized by a small but diverse collective (kinda like the A-Team but not all dudes) which includes artists, activists, agitators, an analyst, a geographer, and a bike mechanic living in the San Francisco Bay Area who were inspired by DSLR activities in Chicago, New York, and elsewhere.

If you would like to assist us by providing logistical, financial, or other material support (money, labor, food, goods, printing, etc) please contact us at: goodluck@dslrwest.org

BAD PRESS - BANKSY

banksy_austria2003x.jpg

Opening: Wednesday, 25 June 2003, 7 pm

British outdoor-painter Banksy will present a compilation of his stencil graffiti. Recombining contradictory elements, most often cliches from the mass media, contemporary power structures are wittily parodied. "I guess my pictures are like taking a photocopy machine down a dark alley and roughing it up", Banksy describes his approach. The direct, deceptively simple images reveal structures of ownership in public space and question them in their cheeky presence.

Scion, a car company inspired by the creative class, has carefully crafted INSTALLATION - a national touring art exhibit devoted to showcasing the exploding art scene through commissioning street-art all-stars to create their vision of Scion. With exhibits by artists like Mister Cartoon (known for his black and grey only tattoo work on such pop-icons as Eminem and the Neptunes), Saber (artist who boasts the world's largest graffiti piece at 250' x 55'), Daim (artist hailing from Hamburg that claims the world's tallest graf-piece), and Andy Howell (artist turned pro-skater turned pro-artist turned entrepreneur extraordinaire), INSTALLATION is sure to give a comprehensive cross-section of today's essential street-art scene.

The Installation Tour, curated and co-produced by the Rebel Organization, will touch down in fourteen cities including New York, San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle, Austin, Miami, Boston, DC, Houston, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. The first installment began in New York with the remaining cities to follow through June 2004. The works will be auctioned at the end of the tour with proceeds going to The HeArt Project - a Los Angeles based non-profit organization that firmly believes in the power of the arts to positively influence and enrich the lives of teenagers.

To RSVP or for additional information on the launch event, tour, artists, and Scion please contact Patrick Courrielche at 323.665.4774 or patrick@courrielche.com.

ROCK A MOLE LIVE! #

9

It's time for Rock A Mole (rhymes with guacamole) again! Hundreds of people in the house of every age, race, and walk of life. Rock A Mole Live! Is the place to plug into the intersection of culture and the community, the place where words like "unity" and "empowerment" come to life.

LIVE MUSIC: Bands put together especially for this event led by Carvell Holloway of the hip-hop/jazz group Strokely and Ernie Perez of the Boxing Gandhis. Many special guests!

VISIONS FROM THE STREET ART SHOW: Graffiti pieces created live on site, street photography, and works by at-risk youth, prisoners, immigrants, and welfare recipients.

VOICES FROM THE STREET: Poets will include Luis Rodriguez and the Poets in the Round crew.

FILM: There will be continuous showings of The Ultimate Song, Rock A Mole's new film which explores music's role in the struggle to end poverty. This film, which the New York Times describes as "a real winner," features both unsigned musicians and Ice T, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave.

Block Jam 2003

haaksbergen_battleofyear03x.jpg

Holland's biggest HipHop Jam.

BlockJam is about Peace, Unity, Having Fun, Positivity, Creativity, Tolerance, Respect and Devolution (Each One Teach One). About Party and Participating, Going Back To The Essence and Being Open Minded. BlockJam is Non Profit, organised by volunteers and by all means necessary: One Mind One Mission!

BlockJam is Holland's only real underground open air Hip Hop event that's attended by Hip Hop heads (both visitors and participants) from all over the country and Germany. BlockJam is formed around the four Hip Hop elements: Writing (graffiti), B-Boying (breakdance) Deejaying and Emceeing (Rap). Another main ingredient of the event is Streetball Several side activities (goodie market, low rider bikes, chill out zone with barbeque and several bars etc.) will expand the program. Prior to every element there will be workshops / clinics for local youth 14 years and younger. Free entrance to the morning and afternoon program; anyone can come and enjoy the festival.

In the evening there'll be B-Boying at it's best during the Battle Of The Year Benelux. Crews from Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg will battle for Benelux supremacy. The winner will represent the Benelux at the International Battle Of The Year in Braunschweig, Germany on the 25th of October 2003.

Because of their involvement within the European Hip Hop scene, the individual organisers all have interesting networks and opinions about Hip Hop culture. This has lead to the launching of the Zulu Nation Holland chapter which has now become the official BlockJam and Battle Of The Year Benelux organiser.

The bag. There is so much more to this ordinary everyday object. The Treehouse Gallery proves it with a group art exhibition "Yo Kid, It's in the Bag" led by Bay Area artist Daddy Engine. The opening reception will be Saturday June 7, 2003 from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm.

The show features 28 artists who have recontextualized tarp material bags bought from Thailand. The show's participants come from diverse backgrounds such as formally trained painters, comic book artists, muralists and graffiti artists.

"The concept of the show was to take these bags used in Thailand local markets and redefine their aesthetic," said Daddy Engine, 29, who spent 18 years in Thailand.

The opening reception will be Saturday June 7, 2003 from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm. The exhibit will be displayed until July 1, 2003.

ART of DESIGN

artofdemailpicx.gif

Featured Artists

BD4D (By Designers, For Designers), founded in early 2002 by Ryan Carson and Ryan Shelton out of London, announces its first event in San Francisco. Put together in collaboration with FlashTV! (www.flashtv.com), BD4D seeks to promote digital artists in a fun, relaxed, and most importantly, FREE atmosphere. Normally, people wishing to see designers of this caliber presenting their work and open themselves up for discussion have to do so at conferences where they usually pay anywhere from 70+ per ticket and can't even enjoy a beer while doing so. With events in places such as London, Manchester, Sydney, New York and Atlanta as well as get-togethers in Barcelona and Paris coming up, BD4D has established itself as one of the world's foremost designer gatherings.

BD4D is broken up into two segments. The first is 3MM (three minute madness) where a designer or studio is invited to present their work in (give or take) three minutes. Usually, this consists of focusing in on one specific piece or site. The featured creative follows the 3MM presentations, and has roughly 45 minutes on the stage to display and discuss a broad range of their work. The presentations are all followed up by a QA session where audience members quiz the designers on their presentations, or work in general.

Moderated by ANDREW STRICKMAN, Arts Writer

Critics have deemed the "Mission School" San Francisco's hottest visual arts export. Street artists' unique style and neighborhood sensibility have led to their success in a world of elite galleries and museums. Meet a new generation of artists whose urban works are transforming abandoned buildings and decrepit alleys into informal outdoor museums. Panelists include artists, curators for alternative and traditional galleries and prominent SF art professionals. Works by the artists (Sirron Norris, NoMe, Tauba, Dave Warnke, Apex, Neon, Andrew Schoultz, Misk, Mars and Damon Soule) will be on display. We will also screen excerpts from "Concrete Canvas," a documentary film about the new "Mission School." (Anno Domini was interviewed for this documentary)

Flint Gennari

"graffiti artists then and now"

Flint Gennari, a veteran of the graffiti and aerosol art culture in New York, is exhibiting 45 photographs of inner city artists taken over the past thirty years. Flint himself is one of the originators of the contemporary art form, going back to 1969, just before his friends invented top to bottom masterpieces. This graffiti is now the cornerstone of a whole culture, and has been emulated all over the world by young vandals seeking fame and recognition.

Flint has won a grant from the Council on the Arts and Humanities for Staten Island for a show of 40 images to be exhibited at JuneFest at Cromwell Center, Staten Island.

Three Stories

"Three Stories is a one night event, featuring three art installations and three musical performances in three U-Haul trucks in the parking lot of HKM in Hollywood. The whole thing is going to be really... intense, in the sort of way that it's way less intense if you explain it before hand. Also, some of the people involved aren't doing what they're known for... basically, it's a bunch of big intense involved surprises that are going to trip some people out. (Probably nothing violent, though.)

The involved artists, Dave Shubert, Ashley Macomber, Shay Nowick, Geso, Barr, The Blow, and Sarah Shapiro have exhibited at New Image Art, LA; Deitch Projects, NY; The Luggage Store, SF; Alleged Galleries, NY; and put out records on K records and Tapes records. The Director's Bureau is Mike Mills and Roman Coppola's company." Curated by Brendan Fowler and presented by the Directors Bureau, Saturday May 10, 7pm. 1641 North Ivar, Hollywood

Stitch 1: "If I Should Die Tonight"

opening: april 19 2003, 8 PM
after party: 10 PM -

BROOKLYN - Martinez Gallery is pleased to present a memorial exhibition of the work of late artist STITCH 1. The artist, whose real name is Rodolfo, was born in Havana, Cuba, 47 years ago, and came to New York City when he was only 12 years old. This event is intended to be a celebration of the life and art of STITCH 1, a chance for old friends to reunite in his memory. The memorial is coordinated by Blanca Martinez and curated by Antonio Zaya.

STITCH 1 was the son of a seamstress named Daisy, to whom we owe the name, so biting and deadeye biting, he came to be known by on the street. But at just 12 years of age, the young STITCH 1 came to the USA with great reluctance. He may have feared the confusion and loss in giving up everything you know; maybe he was just a typically cautious young adolescent. Whatever the case may be, here he came and here he lived.

Here at Martinez Gallery, with the aid and consent of his family and of course the "guys" (his long time friends from United Graffiti Artists, from back in the days, from memory and from forgetting as well), we will gather to warmly remember this artist, recall his breath and history, which still seem alive on the streets he considered his canvas. We hope this reunion will be at once spiritual and secular, a collective voice giving thanks for the body of work STITCH 1 gave us all.

We will not forget, ever, the artistic mastery, the talent for his signature that bubbled from within him. We shall not forget his inimitable color palate, so delicate and beautiful like he himself was, nor forget his measured step through our lives. And likewise we shall remember our connections with his indomitable spirit, now beyond this mortal coil, both of the streets and of the bohemian life of seduction, his seemingly tactile relationship to the present, and the walls that speak of him, of escaping and running from this world towards the Ará Onú (beyond).

"If I Should Die Tonight" will be on display through May. For more information or press queries, call 718-706-0606

After Party: Bobbito AKA DJ Cucumberslice

See Martinez Gallery for map and directions.
Gallery Hours: 1 PM - 7 PM Thursday - Sunday.

JJ Snyder
Handle With Care

jjsnyder2003x.jpg

Opening on Saturday the 19th. 6-9pm

Halcyon
227 Smith st
Btwn Butler/Douglass
F/G to Bergen st
718-260-WAXY
URL http://www.halcyonline.com
RSVP:jj@jjsnyderstudio.com

"Handle With Care" at Halcyon represents JJ Snyder's first solo U.S. show of paintings since moving from London, England in August 2001. Also known for his graffiti artwork under the name PHER, Snyder's canvas work draws heavily on this background of spray painting and street art. Comprised of a series of fine portraits with almost photo-realism, he has attempted to push the limits of what was previously thought possible using spray paint. All of the work is produced freehand without the use of 'masking'.

JJ Snyder has done work for Reebok, The Notting Hill Carnival, Urban Outfitters as well as paint demonstrations for the spray paint manufacturer Belton Molotow Premium. JJ Snyder currently resides in New York City.

StartSOMA

8:30 pm
On April 17th, START SOMA moves a few blocks into a nearly 8,000 square foot space at 11th + Folsom.

works on canvas by international spraycan + street artists

EAST | WEST is START SOMA's first show in our new space, and features a dozen of the most talented spraycan + street artists in the world. The opening showcases over 100 works on canvas that have NEVER been exhibited together in a gallery before.

The artists involved represent a veritable history of global street art, and include Vulcan, DAIM, Seak, Neonski, Misk, Apex, Crayone, Mars, D23, Cuts+Ray, Curve, and NoMe.

The concept is pretty simple - start with some truly stellar street artists from around the world, and add some great music + talent, some amazing urban couture, a decidedly eclectic crowd, a couple of surprise musical guests, and a fashion show that includes a whole bunch of naked models in graffiti body paint, and I think that we have ourselves a show!

And the best part? We are going to donate a whole bunch of money to charity!

For 15 bucks, you will be entertained for hours, and START SOMA is donating proceeds to the http://www.destinationfoundation.org Destination Foundation - a top-notch nonprofit organization that grants dream trips to folks in the San Francisco Bay Area who are living with life-threatening illnesses, including AIDS + breast cancer.

The event takes place on Thursday, April 17th at 11th + Folsom.

Full event details + advance tickets are available via

Miss Van

personal show - exposition personnelle

missvan32003x.jpg missvan1x.jpg

Galerie Magda Danysz
19, rue Emile Durkheim
75013 Paris
France

Miss Van is a very young artist from Toulouse who has created a new style of graffiti by painting sensual dolls on street walls.

With their provocative glances and their heart-shaped mouths, the faces of these ladies hold the attention of passer-bys. And their feminine forms and sexy clothes make them even more attractive. Very colored and unusual, these pretty dolls inspire warmness and eroticism that cheer up the walls of the city. Streets of Paris, Brussels or even London are already used as exhibition places by Miss Van, who keeps attracted by the prohibited.

Miss Van exceptionally leaves her permanent place of exhibition, streets, to enter Magda Danysz Gallery for a personal show. In this 180m² space, her dollies are presented next to the exhibition of the young Japanese artist Icon Tada and after that, next to the ones of the graffiti-artist Nasty, that are both presented in the second part of the gallery.

Jeune graffiti-artiste toulousaine de 28 ans, Miss Van crée un nouveau genre d'art urbain en peignant de coquines poupées sur les murs des villes.

Avec leurs yeux en amandes, leurs regards provocateurs et leurs bouches en cœur, les visages des miss attirent l'œil. Mais ce sont également leurs formes géénéreuses et leurs tenues sexy qui les rendent attirantes. Très colorées et originales, ces jolies poupées dégagent une chaleur et un érotisme qui égayent les murs des villes. Les rues de Paris, Bruxelles ou encore Londres servent déjà de lieu d'exposition à Miss Van, toujours attirée par l'interdit.

Miss Van quitte exceptionnellement son lieu d'exposition permanent, la rue, pour investir la galerie Magda Danysz. Dans cet espace de 180m², ses poupées côtoient le temps d'une exposition personnelle les œuvres du jeune artiste japonais Icon Tada puis celles du graffeur Nasty, tous deux présentés dans la seconde partie de la galerie.

opening of the show / inauguration de l'exposition on saturday april 12th from 6 to 9 PM / le samedi 12 avril 2003 de 18h à 21h

LIGHT BOOK
Kenan Levent Akbas

flyerlightbookfromtx.jpg

Opening reception: Thursday, March 13, 2003, 6pm - 8pm

Gallery Hours: 12Noon - 7pm, Monday - Sunday

Savier Skateboards and StackHouse Gallery is pleased to announce LIGHTBOOK, graffiti portraits by photographer Kenan Levent Akbas.

LIGHTBOOK is Akbas' photographic version of a graffiti writer's black book. It is a unique event in the history of graffiti in terms of writing, exposition, preservation, presentation and collecting.

Akbas invited graffiti artists ELF (BX, MPC), SABE (BX), SEEN (BX), PROPS (LI), FANTA (Irak), and SITE (LI) to tag his camera using light as their medium. The result of the invitations are collected tags from a group of notorious writers from the NYC area, as well as vivid portraits of artists whose tags are transformed into large scale "light books," 8 of which will be on view. Although the tags are portraits, the artists who created them remain invisible. What is photographed is the image of the writers' tags VS the image of subjects who created them, leaving Vandal Squad clueless about their identity. This air or anonymity and subterfuge ultimately verifies the credo and moray of the graffiti artist on the go: that the quest for fame, even on new, private, surfaces, is just as viable in the new school as it was in the olde.

Kenan Levent Akbas is a self-educated photographer, music producer and special event coordinator. Akbas is also the founder and creator of IF, a live action artist event that takes place at SPA in NYC, and also the founder and producer of "Battle Tracks" AKA "Beat Down," a live battle of hip hop music producers on the MPC (midi production center), started at the historic Nuyorican Poet's Cafe in the Lower East Side of NYC. Akbas' photography has been published in fine magazines like Butt, V, Repellent and Clam Magazine and Nerve.com. He lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

StackHouse Gallery, directed by Boudicon, is a new contemporary art gallery showing established, as well as new artists living in NYC and beyond. The Gallery is located on the lower level of the StackHouse Clothing Store in SoHo at 276 Lafayette Street. For further information please call Boudicon at 718-716-0194 or StackHouse at 212-925-6931or email: forgenie@aol.com

AIRBRUSH SHOW-WORLD SPRAY 2003

worldspraylogo.jpg

AIRBRUSH SHOW is the biggest Europe event of its kind concerning Urban Arts.
It's something unique: it mixes Aerosol Art, Digital Art, Airbrushing, and Hot Rod Art, in a big, crazy 2-day happening.

The convention is mostly about artwork that will be exhibited for 2 days that artists can sell. New artists from all over the world are selected every year. There's also an "outdoor" part of the exhibition dedicated to a Live Show, where aerosol artists will paint in front of the crowd.

Special event in 2003: music will be selected by one of most famous italian DJs: Sean Martin.

There will be also big commercial spaces that can be bought by every kind of business activity related to these kinds of arts: from fashon streetwear companies to DJs, from spraycan industries to magazines ecc.

"AIRBRUSH SHOW" happens in a big 4 star business congress center, named "QUARK".
During the last expo, more then 11,000 people visited the exhibition during its 2 days. Locations too have improved during the last event: a new luxury big open space room that can contain most of the expo has been used for the first time in March 2002.

AIRBRUSH SHOW will celebrate 5 YEARS with the next exhibition, 1-2 March 2003.
Don't miss it!

Sèan D. Martin: after wandering for 20 years in the hiphop sphere, Sèan has finally gone back to the roots to explore the essence of hip hop music. This is the planet called “funk”, the devil’s playground where beats and grooves are in a constant battle, the place where only the “supanatural” can survive, the house of those who will stay Kings forever.

ROCK A MOLE'S VISION:
A STREET FOCUS, A BETTER FUTURE

We are planning a Rock A Mole festival in Los Angeles for March. We will feature art, film, music, and poetry by or about at risk youth, immigrants, blue collar workers, welfare recipients, the homeless, and prisoners. We hope that you or people you know or work with will be interested in participating.

Do you or someone you know have some work that should be represented? Let us know what you're thinking. We also see this festival as a giant networking opportunity, where we can share experiences, resources, ideas, and visions.

Who We Are: We're Rock A Mole (rhymes with guacamole) Productions. We are musicians, writers, filmmakers, and artists. Our founders include Luis Rodriguez, author of Always Running, and Ernie Perez of the Boxing Gandhis.

What We Do: We put on grassroots cultural festivals (eight so far) that feature music, art, poetry, and film by or about at-risk youth, immigrants, the homeless, welfare recipients, and prisoners.

What We Believe: Anyone who spends any time in the streets, the jails, or the homeless shelters constantly encounters talented artists of every kind--from painters to poets, from video wizards to musicians. These marginalized people are our sisters and brothers. They are demonized in the media as the ones who are responsible for our society falling apart. That is a lie. The volcanic flow of creativity in the streets of America challenges us all to unite around a vision of a peaceful America where everyone's needs are met.

Who We're Down With: We are a part of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign (PPEHRC), a nationwide coalition of over fifty poor people's organizations. These organizations are led by the poor themselves. The goal of the PPEHRC is to end poverty, not manage it. Check them out at www.kwru.org.

What's Next: We have just finished up our first film, The Ultimate Song, which is about music's role in the struggle to end poverty. The film brings together the leaders of the poor in America with musicians such as Wyclef Jean, Bruce Springsteen, Brother Bank, Rage Against the Machine, Jackson Browne, Krown Ju-Elz, Steve Earle, and Ice T. We will preview the film soon at the biggest Rock A Mole festival yet.

What You Can Do: If you like our approach, link up your artistic or organizing skills with ours. Contact us at Rock A Mole Productions, P.O. Box 341305, Los Angeles CA 90034; 310-398-4477; rockrap@aol.com .

National Street Art Campaign

Calling all artists! We want your work for a national street art campaign. SAW (Street Art Workers) is a grass-roots network of print makers, graffiti writers, stencil artists and painters. We make public art and put it up across the US. In 2002 we plastered the walls of 8 cities with work against the Prison Industrial Complex, and in 2003 we're looking for your visions for the future.

Do you envision a world broken down under the weight of capitalism, gray smog-filled skies hanging over the even grayer lives of the downtrodden and oppressed? Or do you still hold out hope for a victory for the forces of liberty and equality?

Many folks excel at criticizing the existing order, but seldom really articulate what they want. Part of this only makes sense, none of us will ever have it all figured out, but as we commit ourselves to the struggle for a better world, we're forced to define what that world might look like. We want to put these thoughts out on the streets to inspire people to struggle for something more.

Send us multiple copies of your artwork - posters or stickers, stencils or screen-prints, xerox, etc. - before 3/1/03. We will collate the art and distribute it through the SAW network during spring/summer 2003. WE ALSO NEED PEOPLE TO SPRAY, PASTE and OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTE WORK IN THEIR TOWNS. If you want to send us work or if you just want to help out, get in touch.

BOMBERS: COUNTER CURRENT

opening: feb 22 2002, 8 PM
after party: 10 PM -

Visiting certain entities within the "new" New York, that disremembered, forgotten, or simply amnesiac city, we are assaulted by a seemingly unprecedented strategy of reactionary conceptual revisionism with respect to graffiti. It's a vision that tries to trick us, to make us unwilling participants in a shameful communion, all strapped to the same heavy grindstone. But we shouldn't miss out, instead, on the chance to show the work of artists who have, historically and legitimately, blazed a path of courage and honesty; pioneers with a body of work so different than can be found in so-called Piecing, legality, muralism and the "Fine Arts." Thus we will be able to cross all the "t's," as it were, a kind of insurance and plan of attack against that lone naïf that still lets himself, from ignorance or weakness, be fooled by the machinations of the market, by the deep discounts of the winter shopping season.

The primary examples of this bloodline of real, authentic Bombers are Ghost, in the 80s, VFR, since '88, JA, since '90, and Giz, since '93. Not one of them kowtows before the idols of (1) legality, which of course changes with time; (2) Muralism, practiced so majestically by the Mexicans in the wake of their 20th century revolution (Orozco, Rivera, Siquieros) and from which Jackson Pollock, among many others, learned so much; nor (3) the "Fine Arts," which are the exact opposite of the kind of work seen, for example, in the extraordinary Thomas de Quincey, that opium-eating murderer of art and life; and of course (4) the piecing, or assembly-line repetition that feeds the hungry maw of the market; not to mention even remoter influences, each with their appellation d'origin. Before this conceptual swindle, which won't even admit to its own name, only the Bombers propose to do battle, counter current. Only the Bombers dare to look across the river of lies that so many pay tribute to, that so many permit by averting their eyes -- those mute masses that know nothing of true graffiti and even less of its spirit, philosophy and world vision.

After Party: 10 PM Bobbito aka Dj Cucumberslice and Rich Medina. Spinning afro beat, latin, rare funk,break beats, progressive hip hop, and soulful house.

* Long Beach CA: Feb. 24, 2003

LONG BEACH TO HOUSE ONE-OF-A-KIND MURAL

Accomplished Los Angeles Muralist, CDC, Artshare youth and Middle School Children Participate in Production of Mural

WHAT: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention's VERB -- It's what you do. national campaign is PAINTING Los Angeles area with a large-scale mural. The mural will portray southern California area youth sharing and performing multiple VERBs, while conveying a message of the importance of finding one's own VERB. It will also reflect various socioeconomic and multicultural VERBs popular to Los Angeles and Long Beach youth, inspiring them to get active.

WHO: Accomplished Los Angeles muralist Man One designed and is producing a vibrant mural to gear up children for one of the newest nationwide crazes. Man One's artwork and decade long career has been showcased in over 20 group exhibitions domestically and internationally, six one-person shows, and displayed at several museums, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.

WHEN: Monday, Feb. 24, 2003 3pm - 5pm youth to join Man One for painting collaboration. Mural will be for 30 days.

WHERE: Long Beach -- Bixby Hill Gardens surrounding walls. Anaheim and Iroquois Streets across from Hill Classical Middle School. Adjacent to Cal State Long Beach. Cross Street: Palo Verde.

WHY: The Paint the Town initiative complements the VERB -- It's what you do. campaign, which promotes healthy behavior by encouraging positive physical and prosocial activities among children, ages 9-13, and also discourages unhealthy, risky behaviors.

VISUALS: Catch Man One in action as he uses bold, colorful art strokes to create a one-of-a-kind mural promoting healthy lifestyles among children. Hill Middle School students and Artshare youth will be actively assisting Man One in painting the mural.

Man One background:
Man One's active participation in national and local youth programs and his extensive experience with public and commercial murals confirmed his participation in the VERB campaign. Man One has worked for two years with the HeART project. The non-profit group develops year-round workshops for high school students at L.A. Unified continuation schools whose art programs are nonexistent while inspiring at-risk youth with a form of productive instruction in the arts.

Man One has been involved with a variety of other youth-related programs and projects including Coca-Cola's "Art of Harmony" decade-long High School art competition campaign as well as a variety of collaborative mural projects with Los Angeles area schools.

"I want to give them (youths) hope and encouragement that they can be what and who they want to be. Even now, I let kids know when I am painting a mural, so they can come and help," says Man One. "I feel getting youth physically active is a good goal for the future of our society. Life is supposed to be experienced. We are jeopardizing the future of our children by not emphasizing the importance of not only exercise but also socialization," said Man One. "As a father, I know the importance of finding creative and fun new methods to teach one's children the importance of health and fitness. It should be fun and this campaign is fun."

"Billboards"
by the Barnstormers artist collective

The exhibition opens Thursday, February 6, with a benefit for not-for-profit Art Start

MAMA 558 Broadway, 2nd Floor

Thursday through Sunday, 2pm - 6pm.

For "Billboards," the Barnstormers will present life-size reproductions of a barn, a farm-house, and an eighteen-wheeler. These structures, installed in the gallery on vinyl billboards, will be the foundation for an ongoing artistic melee. During the exhibition, the Barnstormers will continuously paint the billboards, layering the work of 18+ artists into a fusion of abstraction, figuration, and lettering.

Contributing artists thus far include Blust, Che Jen, Ease, Edski, Ge-ology, Doze Green, Kenji Hirata, Michael Houston, Madsaki, Martin Mazorra, Mike Ming, Ivan Moreno, Plus, Rostarr, Yuri Shimojo, Skwerm, Stat7, and West.

Visitors are encouraged to return to the exhibition frequently to witness live painting and the ongoing transformation of the murals over the course of the exhibition.

Continuous screenings of the Barnstormers' motion paintings from the last 4 years will be juxtaposed with the creation of a new site-specific work. In addition, the Barnstormers and Art Start will host an ongoing youth-mentoring project during the exhibition, including collaborative painting workshops with the young artists from Art Start's programs.

ABOUT THE BARNSTORMERS [ http://www.b-stormers.com ]
The Barnstormers are a collective of artists founded in 1999 after a pilgrimage to the small tobacco farming town of Cameron, North Carolina. Founded by artist, David Ellis, the group annually paints explosive murals on barns, shacks, chicken houses, and eighteen-wheelers. They are widely recognized for new media forms that combine time-lapse photography, large-scale installations, collaborative painting performances, and sound. The Barnstormers exhibit internationally and are the subject of the upcoming documentary, "Barnstorm" by Joey Garfield.

HORROR VACUI
Bama & Tyke Witnes

opening: jan 18 2003, 7 PM
after party: 10 PM - 4 AM

The Bronx-based Bama is often considered a mad scientist, or proto-Edison, of graffiti history, inventing the use of quotation marks, integration of music within the letters, and the idea of putting cartoon characters in graffiti art. He was a founding member of the United Graffiti Artists in the mid-1970s.

Meanwhile, sprouting from the greenest, newest branches of the tree is Tyke Witnes, half the age of his counterpart, from Los Angeles and with Vietnamese roots. His studio paintings appear to be more or less orthodox (at least within the limits the term describes), crowded with references to commercial comics that distinguish his work, and complement his sculptures of warriors, all exploring the urge to escape through fantasies of the future and the postgalactic or medieval and the postmillennial.

Gallery Hours: 1 PM - 7 PM Thursday - Sunday.

special DJ afterparty featuring a 10pm screening of "Wild Style"

Monique Meloche is pleased to present a historic show of photos by Charlie Ahearn and other pioneers of hip hop and graff photography to celebrate the release of Yes Yes Y'all, the Experience Music Project oral history of Hip-Hop's first decade (edited by EMP curator Jim Fricke and Charlie Ahearn, director the seminal hip-hop film Wild Stylethat just celebrated it's 20th anniversary. The 300-page book published by Da Capo Press contains photos shot by Ahearn in the Bronx "...documenting the music's many phases before Run or DMC ever grabbed the mike. Witnesses such as Afrika Bambaataa and Kool Herc -- as well as many more obscure players -- shed light on everything from the gang culture that gave way to early hip-hop crews to the commingling of uptown's B-boys and downtown's art scenesters to the eventual marginalization of DJs and break dancers in favor or rappers." Jon Caramanica Rolling Stone MagazineNovember 28, 2002.

This traveling exhibition is generously sponsored by the Experience Music Project and has taken on quite a different flavor at each venue. The show opened at Deitch Projects in Williamsburg (Nov 2002), then to SandroniRey Gallery in LA (Dec 2002), and the final venue is moniquemeloche where Meloche and Chicago-based artist Dzine will serve as co-curators.

We are currently working on putting together an art event that will feature the artworks of graffiti artists, graphic designers and photographers. If you are interested in participating in our event, please submit several scans of your art to us for evaluation.

This event will take place in February, 2003 in Atlanta. Thank you in advance for your time and submissions.

WE RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY, AND THEREFORE WILL NOT DISPLAY YOUR NAMES IN PUBLIC DOMAIN - YOU MAY USE AN ALIAS...

The show is open to artists not in Atlanta, but if your work is selected, you need to send pictures of what you'll show, then you and the artwork have to go to Atlanta in February.

Twist interview in Giant Robot this month


* New York: (Deadline February 1) April 2003

Join the Bureau of Autonomous Information and Tourism (BAIT)!

Open Call for Entries

Calling on all muckrackers, agitators, pyschogeographers, radical tourguides, archivists, activists, guerilla gardeners, techno experimenters, tricksters, resisters and cooks for BAIT's most liberating campaign to date!

During these troubled times, BAIT knows the stakes are high. With permanent war on the global menu and voices of dissent being subsumed by the tactical trivialities of a sold-out media, BAIT says BASTA! Join the Bureau for Autonomous Information and Tourism in N.Y.C in April 2003 for 48 straight hours, as we embark on our most liberating campaign to date, strategically aligned with the international Next5Minutes festival in Amsterdam!

Both desirous and resistant, BAIT encompasses a wide range of practices, strategies and agitations. With a united collective BAIT takes on the vanished public sphere, biotechnology, the global AIDS crisis, militarization of the homeland, civil liberties, globalization, surveillance, privacy, gentrification, police violence, racism, economic inequality, and class disparities. If this sounds like a full plate, it is!

OPEN CALL FOR ENTRIES: CAMPAIGN 2003 BAIT seeks projects in all media: from performance and screenings, net.art and online installations, spoken word, street interventions, pirate radio, and much more!

BAIT especially seeks projects that fall into the following three categories.

1. Tactical Media Projects: An intervention in daily life BAIT encourages proposals in the form of public interventions, visual demonstrations, short lectures, and reclamations that occupy the public sphere. Projects taking place in the public sphere will be video documented and presented on a large wall of monitors at the BAIT Headquarters for attendees to witness and enjoy.

2. Eye-Opening Walking Tours Take us on a tour! Reveal the hauntings of the city. Design and lead repo-historic wonderings. Meander on a derive. Get lost, go underground, illuminate the skyline. Seeking Radical tour guides, docents, and late night wanderers.

3. Tech Skill Exchange: Workshops and Presentations Calling all technology activists, new media artists, geeks, software programmers, and other digerati who use new technologies for potentially subversive results! Seeking proposals for presentations for skill exchanges in public and non-public settings. The focus is on a non-hierarchical diverse peer-to-peer exchange. This 24 hours concrete technical skill workshop will be broken down into five sections: 1) web-based organizing 2) low cost wireless technology 3) DIY radio communication 4) socially critical web-based art 5) the social context of the Internet -- often ignored issues such as racial oppression online, gender and access.

Please send in a brief description of proposal (no more than one page) with a description of the size, duration, technological needs of the proposed project. Documentation of past work, bio and self-addressed stamped envelope. At this moment there are no subsidies for project or artists, all works must be self-funded. Location and exact date to be announced.

Please direct any questions to bait@bait-n5m.org. All Proposals must be received by February 1st, 2003.

A blank piece of paper has been the starting point for countless ideas and creative expressions. From black books to sketchbooks, all ideas begin with this medium, which provides a foundation from which ideas are conceptualized and created.

The exhibit features new work done in black and white by established yet unknown artists from around the world. Art contributors include commercial designers, illustrators, photographers, and graffiti writers, all of whom are currently involved in generating this new era of art.

Participating artists include: Andy Howell, MDRL(Derrick Hodgson), BattleZine, Cody Hudson, Olofsdotter, Craig Metzger, Oculart and Ctrl, Stentoria, BIGFOOT, Mike GIANT, XDreem, Grotesk, Jemma Gura, Bozack, Lance Sells, Travis Millard, Carlos Batts, NEWA, Jen Props, M.

55DSL, a street lifestyle brand www.55dsl.com and Faesthetic, a distinctive art magazine www.faesthetic.com are proud to bring you "8.5 X 11," a showcase of work on the most standard of formats.

Getting to The Point

at The Works, Prince Kave presents: A fundraising event for: The Point Community Development Corporation 8pm-4am

Getting to The Point is multi-media event including artworks and music.

Featuring canvases by the infamous Tats Cru "Mural Kings of New York" and photographs from the International Center of Photography's education program at The Point.

Admission and proceeds from artwork sales will go to benefit the programs at The Point.

Resident DJ MSG spins hybrid hip hop.
With special guest DJ Language(stoned soul nyc)

Artwork will be on display at Abaya Lounge in New York City, with proceeds from artwork sales benefiting The Point. Exhibited works will include paintings by Tats Cru, a collective of aerosol artists, as well as photographs generated by students who participate in the International Center for Photography's program at The Point. All exhibited artworks have been created in and inspired by the South Bronx community.

The members of Tats Cru demonstrate that creative energy can be used to stimulate thought and business. They see public space and use it as a venue for public art, transforming blank walls into epic murals. Tats Cru, "The Mural Kings of New York," run a successful business that brings their authentic style to both commercial clients and commissioned projects. Their work proves that graffiti is not vandalism, but a prevalent, permanent art form that has erased the boundaries between high and low art. As successful entrepreneurs from the Hunt's Point community, Tats Cru has a significant impact on those involved in The Point's programs.

The International Center for Photography has been a partner at The Point since 1996. They provide students with cameras and equipment, and send them out to document the world around them as they see it. The result is an illuminating collection of images: stark black and white photographs that depict a wide range of artistic interpretations.

Abaya Lounge is located at 244 East Houston Street, between Avenues A and B. Nearest trains are the F, or V train to 2nd Avenue.

A formal opening for the public is scheduled for Friday, January 10 at 7p.m. The artists will also unveil plans for a collaborative public sculpture recently proposed to various funders in the city of Pittsburgh.

This exhibit, part of a continuing collaboration between Canadian artist, Ryan MacKeen, and United States artist, Michael D. Walsh, will illustrate the expansion and growth of the aerosol art movement into other forms and mediums of expression. Mr. MacKeen will show several new paintings, which draw upon his background to illuminate human emotion and vulnerability. Mr. Walsh will also exhibit a number of new sculptures. These sculptures are part of a continuing series of his work in which he creates pieces from various metals with no planned sketches or specifications, fusing the immediate nature and underlying form of the movement, into aesthetic, and often functional, sculpture.
