Frisson Gallery presents...

Supa Dupa: 'Rarities' Exhibition

1st December 7.00PM - 9.00PM

The Frisson Gallery is excited to present a new exhibition by the very talented London based, Supa Dupa crew....

Supa Dupa consists of six artists united by beer and good times. All hailing from roots in Graffiti, it is clear to see the impact that this genre has had on them. Their inspiration ranges from flash art, comic books, the sci-fi genre, and iconography. Now two years on from its formation, the crew have made a name for themselves (be it unintentionally) through their unique collaborative style usually seen within murals and conceptual pieces.

Their very first group exhibition, 'Rarities' features the collaborations of: Alfa, Herse, Fybe, Tobe, WordToMother, and Mesek. The exhibition shall prove an insight into a unity that can exist between various styles of graffiti and works that steer more towards that of fine art. To find out more about the exhibition and the individual artists please view the Frisson Gallery website.

The Frisson Gallery is open Monday to Saturday 10:00 till 18:00 and Sunday 11:30 till 17:00. The Gallery is free for the public to view and accessible by wheelchair.

For further information on this event please ring us on 01227 451125 or email us at info@frissongallery.co.uk.

"Process"

New work by Sneke, Hews and Virus
Artist Reception November 9 6pm - 10pm
BLVD Gallery 2316 2nd ave Seattle Wa 98121
http://www.blvdart.com

PROCESS, a show featuring graffiti artists and style writers Hews, Sneke, and Virus, provides the viewer a rarely seen glimpse into the approach and evolution of their art. Process incorporates and displays the methods involved in creating the art and reintroduces it in a way that gives the public a window into what goes on behind the "finished" pieces.

Sneke works beyond the traditional 2d of Graffiti into the realm of sculpture and relief. In a way exploring the dimensional qualities of his work as well as isolating elements to accentuate the more abstract forms of the graffiti lexicon. The architectural qualities of graffiti is what shows in the work of Hews. His canvas work explores the foundations of building veritable siege engines made of alphabets. Vancouver legend VIRUS works with the pop pastiche that Graffiti has adored since Fab 5 Freddy first painted his Campbell Soup can tribute to Andy Warhol in the seventies.

"There is something raw about seeing the perfect 'imperfections.' There is an energy in the thumbnails, the sketches, and the brainstorming that does not always come across in the final product." -Hews

Process highlights the elements of the "unseen" and celebrates the individual approach of the different artists. The final pieces may look similar but each artist incorporates distinct methods in executing their work. Hews, Sneke, and Virus are now transcending their graffiti art and applying the elements into different formats and mediums.

It was in the fall of 1981 when urban life as we have come to describe it was born from the street culture of the Bronx and Queens. When Run DMC and KRS ONE lead the way to a Hip Hop music revolution. While Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat validated street art culture, a young LaGuardia high school art student living on the then very dangerous Upper West Side took the name MIST to a graffiti street campaign that ran thorough all five boroughs. MIST survived those days, survived Mayor Koch, survived the Son of Sam, survived the drug epidemic, survived the Latin Kings but was ingrained with a knowledge of street art that stills shows its scars today. It is with great pleasure that, with advent of fall in New York, Capla Kesting Fine Art brings MIST back to his former home to display a collection of artworks reminiscent of this time. Not under a graffiti pseudonym but as himself, a successful Miami based businessman, a successful publisher and successful painter, as Miguel Paredes.

Miguel Paredes' boundless approach to the canvas is evident upon sight, communicated through his vibrant and eclectic artistic style; a meshing of abstracted figurative painting, rich with line drawings and floral elements. Working in mixed media, Paredes' work is energetic, sometimes frantically so.

Directions: Bedford Ave L train Stop. Exit the subway walking west on North 7th, away from river, 2 blocks to Roebling, then proceed south 2 blocks to North 5th. The gallery is located on the corner of North 5th and Roebling.

CARMICHAEL GALLERY OF CONTEMPORARY ART PRESENTS

HEAD SPACE

a solo exhibition of paintings by Labrona

Canadian artist Labrona is best known for his extraordinary paintings on freight trains that roll all over the US and Canada. "I'm just a guy that paints trains, does art, doesn't want a regular nine to five. I use my art as my voice," he says. "I send my thoughts and emotions on to the railways for people to see.A train yard is like a forever-changing outdoor art gallery." The hulking thirty-five year old lumberjack from Ottawa has been working for years with many of Canada's best known graffiti artists and his work has been shown in galleries all over the world. It is only recently, however, that people have really begun to take note of his unique skill, giving him the opportunity to design a new line of hand-crafted skateboards and solo shows in various North America cities. Drawing his inspiration from 80s skate culture, rundown industrial areas, and German Expressionism, Labrona's fascination with painting heads comes from his desire to convey raw human feeling - "You can tell so much from an expression, the eyes and mouth. there are many different stories within each painting." The paintings in HEAD SPACE continue this enthralling narrative exploration.

Opening Reception
Saturday, November 3, 2007
From 7:00 PM - Midnight

Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art

Contact the gallery by email art@carmichaelgallery.com, visit www.carmichaelgallery.com

The gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday 3:00PM to 8:00PM and by appointment. (PLEASE NOTE NEW HOURS!)

About Labrona (written by his artist friend, Other):

"Labrona's name was concocted one night in some ski pub in the echoing mountains of Banff National Park by one Anil Dular, a mythical hip-hop speaking Cherokee navigator turned selective logger up off the coast of Alaska...This is the world that Labrona runs in. A French Canadian house builder who spends as much time in Riviere de Loup (River of the Wolf) as the beer-swilling metropolis of Montreal, Labrona is a collector of disco blues Chicago style albums and an old school 360 boneless type of skateboarder. Most importantly, he is a painter of metal beasts that roam his habitat - Labrona has made a name for himself painting poignant faces on the sides of boxcars, wheaties, and any old freight car that shifts off into the night a bit happier for the addition, yet retaining the sad air only a freight train can convey in its creaks and squeals and stand still mosquito silence... So you see it is hard to describe a Labrona...maybe you will find the meaning in his paintings."

Sandor Derrick has traveled thru Europe and Canada capturing the striking wall art found in our cities. These include images from the Berlin Wall before it was dismantled. Street art really catches the eye. Some call it vandalism. Others see graffiti as guerilla populist art. His works bring an international perspective to the debate.

Arte Muerte

CISA Gallery is hosting an opening reception for the group exhibition, Arte Muerte. Arte Muerte is CISA Gallery's 1st Annual Day of the Dead exhibition. We will be hosting a public altar. Please bring photos and items for our altar.

The Aztecs and other Meso-American civilizations have practiced the Day of the Dead ritual for over 3000 years. People visit the cemetery where their loved ones are buried, decorating gravesites with marigold flowers and candles. They bring toys for dead children and bottles of tequila to adults. They sit on picnic blankets next to gravesites and eat the favorite food of their loved ones.

The Spaniards viewed death as the end of life. The indigenous view it as the continuation of life. The Spaniards considered the ritual to be sacrilegious and indigenous people to be barbaric pagans. They tried to eliminate the ritual and were unsuccessful. To make the ritual more Christian, the Spaniards moved it to coincide with All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day (Nov. 1 and 2).

Anger. Dread. Insomnia. Depression. Palpitations. Hallucinations. Seizures. These are just several of a long list of symptoms brought upon by Delirium Tremens, a severe and horrific illness caused by withdrawal or abstinence after heavy alcohol and other addictive substance abuse. Judy Garland, Jimi Hendrix, and Edie Sedgwick, amongst many others, tragically suffered from the severe pain of this disease and the untreated mortality rate of delirium tremens is up to 35%. The condition has been referenced by a wide range of writers, musicians, and filmmakers - from Mark Twain, Jack Kerouac, and George Orwell, to Aerosmith, "West Side Story", and "The Simpsons".

For this show, the artists have considered what the essence of Delirium Tremens - withdrawal, loss, and the accumulation of physical, emotional, and psychological pain that subsequently rushes through their bodies - means to them and interpreted it in their own ways. Their inspiration has come from their individual life experiences, with some artists directly relating to the strict definition of the illness and others capturing the trembling anguish of sweaty, sleepless nights, emotional volatility, and confusion caused by other personal dramas. The pulse of the show, akin to the illness itself, is dramatic, restless and irregular, as the artists reveal a dark, fearful edge to themselves that is both slightly disorienting and addictively transfixing at the same time.

The gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday 3:00PM to 7:00PM and by appointment.

Definitely established in Bursins (canton de Vaud, Switzerland), the Gallery Speerstra approaches local graffiti artists for its second show. Presenting two local graffiti crews: the ALS and ADP ("Avec Le Sourire" and "Avalanche De Peinture" from the Valais).

Both crews worked together to present "Authentik". A show prepared at the last minute, just like the way they paint when out at night. An urge to paint, spraying graffiti art on walls and railway tracks. An urban practice and a challenge for all six artists, urban calligraphy at its highest.

Their lastest works on canvas specially made for the gallery, will be presented throught the month of september and october 2007.

Out On A Rail

Azle resident Michelle Winder makes a living as a conductor/brakeman for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. One day four years ago, while watching the graffiti-festooned cars pass hastily by, she raised up her “little Nikon pocket digital,” focused in and took a shot of an oncoming skull. That photo has now qualified Winder for a first class ticket on artists’ row – a trip that started three years ago in Manitou, Colorado.

After a scheduled stop in Azle, that train is now throttling up the engines and heading straight to the Heliotrope Gallery on Fort Worth’s Bluebonnet Circle. Winder’s photographic images of graffiti-tagged boxcars, taken around the Fort Worth area, can be viewed at the gallery starting Monday, Sept. 4, through Saturday, Oct. 13. A special showing of her one-woman show titled “Out On A Rail,” can be viewed Saturday, Sept.8, during Fort Worth’s annual Gallery Night, from 10 to 9 p.m. – at which time patrons will also be treated to wine from Lakeside’s Lightcatcher Winery and music by Bruce William’s three-piece combo. Winder is a Fort Worth native who grew up in the Cultural District. At the age of 11 she was taken under the wing of a local photography and gallery owner Perry Caldwell, who instilled in her a fiery passion for photography.

Heliotrope, 3461 B Bluebonnet Circle in Fort Worth

Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Gallery Night runs from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The wine and music will start to flow around 6 p.m., at which time Winder should also be present.

Walls - L'arte al Muro

06. Juni - 08. Oktober 2007

Kurator: Stefano Coletto
Ausstellende Künstler:
Mirko Reisser (DAIM), JR, 108

Ort: Arsenale di Venezia / Italien

From 8 June to the end of September the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation will be hosting an international event in the charming open space of the Venice Arsenal, organized in collaboration with Consorzio Venezia Nuova and Thetis. The event consists of an exhibition of Street Art, the visual culture of young generations.



Walls - will include the site-specific works of three international artists: the French JR, the Italian 108, and the German Daim, all of whom will be working directly on the scaffolding of the buildings in the Venice shipyard starting in June of this year. Each artist will be working on a wall of wood, laid upon the shipyard buildings and covering the facades of the Tese della Novissima complex.

The Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation has been dedicated to promoting young artists ever since it was founded. In this way the Walls project is in perfect synchrony with the institution's mission, one which sets it apart from many other art institutions in Italy. The Foundation strives to promote an urban space art that originates from a project and from mutual respect for other places. The event will mark a new phase for this part of the city: opening up the vast areas of the Arsenal, the oldest in Europe, which is finally being revived after years of abandonment.

Organisation: Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in collaboration with Consorzio Venezia Nuova e Thetis spa

"IGNITE WHAT'S NEXT"

[Sadly, Herbert was unable to make it this time, but there may be a special guest. - Susan]

Upper Playground Portland is proud to host the Portland stop on the "Ignite What's Next" Art Tour, sponsored by Sparks, Upper Playground, and Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine. The tour will showcase three of the world's top artists from the world of contemporary art - David Choe (Los Angeles), Herbert Baglione (Sao Paolo), and Saber (Los Angeles).

Live art installations will take place at Upper Playground in the afternoon of Wednesday, September 19th. Later that evening, the trio of artists will paint again at the inner-SE music venue Rotture, accompanied by a DJ set from former Portland resident, D.J.P.

David Choe is a painter and graphic artist, who is known as much for his exaggerated vulgarity as for his aesthetic sense, and whose inspiration for his art comes from international hitchhiking expeditions. His art graces all facets of urban lifestyle, from t-shirts, to shoes, to video games and even hotel rooms.

Saber is a longtime fixture on the Los Angeles street art scene. He's best known for completing the LA River Piece, the largest graffiti piece ever created.

D.J.P is one of the pioneers of "blending," a style that has recently become commonly known as the "mash-up". He can mix Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield" over the Pharcyde's classic "She Keeps On Passing Me By" and turn it into a Drum'n Bass blend about love lost that gets everyone on their feet, even people who think they don't like hip-hop. P's mix CDs have become underground classics, featuring in several year-end critics polls (Village Voice and Rolling Stone, among others).

Il est sans doute celui qui a le plus influencé le mouvement graffiti depuis sa naissance et il est aujourd'hui une icône pour tous les graffeurs de la planète.

Wild Style at the Museum of Dance, Stockholm

The pioneers of Hip Hop at the Museum of Dance in Stockholm

From May until September the exhibition Wild Style is showing at the Museum of Dance in Stockholm. The American photographer, filmmaker and author Charlie Ahearns's pictures from South Bronx taken in the early eighties are on display.

The Exhibition

On exhibit are twentyfour pictures taken between 1980 and 1983. Apart from his own pictures Charlie has selected a few pictures by Martha Cooper, Cathy Campbell and Henry Chalfont.

The pictures are landscapes showing the worn down city, and portraits and group pictures showing some of the first stars of Hip Hop: Busy Bee, Fab 5 Freddy, Lee Quinones, Lady Pink, DJ Grand Wizard Theodore, Grand Master Flash, Funky Four, Rock Steady Crew and a lot more. Everyone contributing to Hip Hop's first years.

There are quite a few unique pictures among those exhibited. But the thing that hits you the most is the authenticity of the pictures. These are not arranged shots, but instant pictures.

In an adjacent room 10 minutes of the film Wild Style are shown. You get to see, among others, Double Trouble, Busy Bee, Rammellzee and Rock Steady Crew live.

Felix Maldonado (FLEX)

Graffiti Ahead

CISA Gallery is hosting an opening reception for the exhibition, Graffiti Ahead, featuring the work of Felix Maldonado aka FLEX.

The work displayed is part of an ongoing series documenting graffiti writers who represent the Midwest movement. From its "golden age" of 1983 to its present activity, the efforts of specific artists have come to symbolize periods of growth and development in the art form.

Each of Felix's work is a portrait stemming from photographs (taken by FLEX), interviews, and personal experiences. Pose, palette, stroke and emotions reflect the dynamic character of each writer. In respect to the movement, his medium is spray-paint on canvas. Please join us in supporting his goal of, one canvas at a time, providing an informative look into this global urban art movement from its roots; the graffiti writers!

Hors d'oeuvres, refreshments, and music.

Opening Reception: Friday, August 31, 2007

NEW WORK BY ONE OF SYDNEY'S MOST NOTORIOUS FEMALE ARTISTS IN INK, ACRYLIC AND AEROSOL.

Produced during and inspired by her first twelve months in Sydney, "Illness" is part dead street and part social commentary with Forsyth combining her interests in graffiti, scene culture, quarter-life crisis and the mundane. Visual influences include grimy walls, Heironymous Bosch and religious iconography resulting in work unsettling in tone but charmingly detailed in appearance. "Illness" draws in and involves; building a rapport between the fictional and real life modern ills.

Justin BUA

The Beat of Urban Art

Artist Reception and Book signing Friday August 10 6pm - 10pm

BLVD Gallery is proud to present one of the most widely recognized and respected artists to document and participate in the Hip Hop movement, Justin BUA. BUA's art is infused with his experiences being a B-Boy and graffiti Writer in NYC during the birth of a culture. Through the distinct style that he calls "Distorted Urban Realism" melding urban rhythms, graffiti, and classical art training BUA represents the lives of both the revered and the marginalized, the heroes and the underdogs of his time - New York City during the 1970s and '80s.

Groundbreaking artist Justin BUA is internationally known for his best-selling collection of fine art posters--The DJ being one of the most popular prints of all time. Born in 1968 in NYC's untamed Upper West Side and raised between Manhattan and East Flatbush, Brooklyn, BUA was fascinated by the raw, visceral street life of the city. He attended the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Performing Arts and complemented his education on the streets by writing graffiti and performing worldwide with breakdancing crews. BUA went on to the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California where he earned a B.F.A in Illustration. Currently, he teaches figure drawing at the University of Southern California, while continuing to be a leading innovator in both the fine and commercial art worlds. . BUA's energetic and vocal worldwide fan base ranges from former presidents, actors, musicians, professional athletes, and dancers, to street kids and art connoisseurs.

From the birth of Hip-Hop, emcees, and graffiti artists; to deejays, street poets and ball players, BUA's THE BEAT OF URBAN ART (HarperCollins Publishers, hardcover on sale March 13, 2007) takes readers into a masterfully illustrated New York City of the 1970s and 1980s as experienced by the artist's heroes and the underdogs of that era. Accompanied by sketches, studies, and explanations of how his most famous paintings were created, this extraordinary oeuvre documents the artist's turbulent youth in the underground worlds of the urban jungle to showcase landmark moments in the nation's cultural history.

Solo Exhibition

Opening Reception: Saturday, August 4, 8-11pm

Merry Karnowsky Gallery

Merry Karnowsky Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by James Marshall, formerly known as Dalek. Born in 1968, the Brooklyn-based painter has made a reputation with a distinctive and innovative style, unlike any other Pop-Inspired painter working today. Stylistically synthesizing the American traditions of still animation and cartoons, his remarkably complex compositions resemble a direct lineage to the expressive Japanese Superflat movement, and the zany everyday apparitions found in nature.

Gallery Hours:

Exhibition Dates: July 25-August 5, 2007

THE WALLS BELONG TO US will feature the largest line up of global graffiti, urban art, and photography ever assembled in one space, with over 120 pieces and 105 artists involved.  Canvases, sculptures, prints and silk screens from world-renowned artists including Martha Cooper, FUTURA 2000, Lee Quiñones, Lady Pink, Jamel Shabazz, GHOST, Grotesk, DELTA, Guy Gonzales, IZ THE WIZ, Jose Parla, Henry Chalfant, REVS, ZEPHYR, Shepard Fairey, EWOK, Joe Conzo, DAZE and Brett Cook Dizney.  

In addition, THE WALLS BELONG TO US auction will play an instrumental role in raising funds to combat social injustice. Presently, Alan Ket [Maridueña] is the defendant in three cases in New York City. He has been accused and arrested for alleged graffiti crimes stemming from an October 2006 search of his home and office. In March 2007, police arrested him after a five-month investigation. He is charged with over a dozen felony charges [all graffiti-related] that if convicted could place him in prison for over ten years. Alan Ket has no prior criminal record. He is being represented by Daniel Perez of the law firm of Kuby and Perez LLP.

Since 1986, Alan Ket has documented the New York City graffiti art movement and been an active participant as a painter and supporter. From launching STRESS (1995) and COMPLEX magazines (2001) to serving as an art curator for the 2006 video game "Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure," he has made sure that graffiti art is recognized as an important and legitimate art movement by documenting its pioneers and its protagonists.  Traveling to universities nationwide, Ket has been an outspoken advocate on graffiti history, criminalization, and issues concerning public art. Today, as US publisher of From Here to Fame Books, he publishes books that celebrate Hip Hop, street movements and graffiti history.

Herbert Baglione

The Wall

New Image Art in Los Angeles is proud to present Sao Paulo based, Brazilian artist Herbert Baglione in his new exhibition titled "The Wall." Baglione has been recognized for over ten years as part of Brazil's street artist's movement along with Os Gemeos, Speto and Vitche whom have all had a large influence on street art here in the United States. Baglione's strong, distinctive style and complex themes visible in his illustrations, paintings, and street endeavors have earned international acclaim in the design and art world alike.

For his solo show, titled "The Wall", at New Image Art, Baglione will test the audience to ponder the walls inside contemporary society and to think about their own internal walls that may lead to stagnation in life. "The Wall" is a continuation of Herbert's vision of his highly successful solo show "Vossia" at Fifty24SF Gallery in San Francisco in 2006. This show centered on Herbert's vision of man's consciousness, power and Chaos.

New Jersey Graf: A glimpse into urban art in New Jersey

Curated by Leon Rainbow and Hosted by The Vicious Styles Crew

As you travel the train lines, highways, and inner cities of New Jersey, you will find that there is an active and vital graffiti art movement taking place. There is a lot of art being created on a regular basis, both legal and illegal; I am currently involved in the former. For a long time, artists from New Jersey, especially graffiti artists, have not been getting their just due. Being between Philly and New York is tough, and though we have made our own styles and innovations, we never seem to get the respect we deserve. This exhibit will be the best that New Jersey Graffiti has to offer. I would include artists from as much of the state as possible--from Camden to Newark, and everywhere in between.

Confirmed Artists: Leon Rainbow, Ricardo Barros, Kasso, Pro, Plan, Mek, Azma, Demer, Soco, Kastor, Amose, Naval, Dosel, Ache, Year, East, Macho, Cose, Sand, Hueman, Space-1134, Jrep, Stie, Sgod, Byas, Naks, Anthrax, Swine, Sife, Chum, Nome, Koin and Dezo. Crews: VS, Wallnuts, FH, DITL, ADHD, BPK,

3rd Annual Bring Your Own Art Exhibition - Submit Now!

Bring Your Own Art is an all disciplines, one night only art exhibition that is self-curated: we accept all submissions to event capacity, and we do not screen the art. While the event is coordinated by SOAP, there is no overarching theme or narrative and we leave plenty of room for improvisation, walk-in submissions, and on-site creations. The intent behind this event is to draw out creative people from the community and give them the opportunity to display their art in a non-competitive environment with no strings attached. BYOA features a broad diversity of mediums including painting, music, film, sculpture, performance, and photography. The result is an event that showcases a full spectrum of creative endeavor.

Evolving Styles Live Charity Street Art Auction

esweb200707x.jpg

FRIDAY 6TH / 13TH / 20TH / 27TH JULY 2007

CARGO
6pm-9pm, FREE ENTRY

ALL PROCEEDS TO CHARITY

Evolving Styles is a live street art auction, inviting the finest street artists from around the world to paint live and auction their art off, all in the name of charity. In association with street wear label Boxfresh, Cargo's outside space is turned into a live art studio / sealed auction house, but unlike Christie's or Sotheby's, this auction house has a BBQ, the best DJs playing out and world-famous artists creating original work to auction off on the same night.

Evolving Styles-hosted by leading London venue Cargo-sees acclaimed artists such as the legendary Lady Pink (New York), Mr Kern (Barcelona), Herakut (art duo, Germany), Nick Walker (Bristol), Stormie (Australia), Part 2 (UK) to name a few, paint on 6 canvases each live in Cargo's outside space, while a BBQ sizzles, DJs turn the tunes and people relax in the sunshine. At 8p.m. a sealed auction begins where anyone can bid as little or as much as they want for their preferred canvas. At 9p.m., the winning bidders will get to take home their exclusive one-off pieces of art with them that night.

Evolving Styles kicks off on Friday July 6 with the notorious German artist TASSO (the master of photorealist graffiti) and British freestyle artist Xenz (widely hailed as the UK's most important graffiti artist after Banksy) creating art live at the auction. So here's your chance to get hold of some of the world's best street art at auction prices, give to charity and have the perfect run up to a Friday night.

Anthony Lister "Cracker Got Snapped by the Pops"

Opening reception: Thursday July 5, 2007 from 7-9:30 p.m. July 5th-July 29, 2007

Australian artist Anthony Lister will deliver a new series of paintings in an exhibit entitled, "Cracker Got Snapped by the Pops" at FIFTY24SF Gallery. Using nostalgic childhood characters and pop icons, Lister imposes the juxtaposition of these images in seemingly mismatched, harsh surroundings, exposing the ills of street life, addiction and poverty. While his use of soft hues, watercolor and simple pencil-drawn lines are not overpowering to the observer, the overt cynicism of mainstream culture, particularly corporate media bombardment, communicates the artist's message. Lister now resides in New York, and has gained prestige showing works internationally and winning awards such as the Prometheus Art Award and the Metro 5 Art Award.

osgemeos Drawing

The new exhibition of works by osgemeos at Galeria Fortes Vilaça presents 30 original drawings that reiterate the creativity and inventiveness of the Pandolfo brothers. These works were selected among hundreds of drawings by the artists, themselves compulsive and highly accomplished draftsmen. The show is of an intimist nature, which is something totally surprising in view of who the artists are. Here, spectators will find neither saturated colors and shimmer, nor an escalating occupation of space; rather, they will find the brothers' skillful handling of pen on paper.

All the drawings on show are small-format; originally, many of them served as studies for street paintings, others were conceived merely to be rendered on paper. The older drawings, dated from up to three years ago, were folded up and taken around, tucked inside the twin's clothing pockets. They are time-worn and bear traces of their roles as sketches, such as scribblings, soiled spots, and even blotches of spray paint.

osgemeos investigate elements of a fantastic world that populate a dream realm. They render fictional characters such as those with wide faces - a trademark of the duo -, naked female figures, and mermaids portrayed next to giant fish, cats, snails, etc. A reference to culture and the folk imaginary is also found in the artists' versions of such popular legends as boi bumba and negrinho do pastoreio. The result is a surprisingly delicate linework and rich, painstaking details.

A few works bear text fragments that not always relate directly with the drawing. They are loose phrases that end up unchaining amusing dialogues between the characters. The drawings on show are all self-contained, there is no narrative linking them.

The artistic duo's creative process is simultaneous; they work on a same piece of paper, at the same time. According to them, there is no particular limit to the creative activity; in fact, there is no limit at all. In Drawing, osgemeos offer viewers the possibility to glimpse at the early thinking and linework that have yielded their prolific oeuvre.

In recent times, the twins joined The Graffiti Project, along with other Brazilian artists selected to inscribe with drawings the walls of an 800 year-old castle in a rural area of Scotland - the first castle in history to have its walls covered with graffiti. In 2007 they have also shown solo at the Museum Het Domein of Sittard, Holland.

Wild Style The Sampler - By Charlie Ahearn

Exhibition, screening, and New Book

wildstylesamplerx.jpg

"I mean love is love. Recognize the hip hop culture 'cause that's what we are doing. We're having fun with it. We spread love. There's no animosity. There's no prejudice in our culture. None of that. It's red black green orange. We all in it. We come from Japan. You ever hear them rapping in Japanese? You ever hear them rapping in Swahili? I want you to know Charlie Ahearn has done his thing. The cast of the movie, I love you all. We all did our thing. We are history. Wild Style is all over the world."
- The Chief Rocker Busy Bee, 2006

In 1982, a small, independent movie written, produced, and directed by Charlie Ahearn was released, first in Germany, Japan, and Cannes, then finally in Times Square. Wild Style, the first film to unite the underground urban art forms of nascent hip hop culture -- DJing, MCing, b-boying, and graff writing -- was filmed on location in the South Bronx without permits or pretensions. Some twenty-five years after it's release, Wild Style is truly a classic, having inspired countless artists, musicians, and writers with unforgettable scenes starring the era's most memorable personalities.

To celebrate the film's silver anniversary, Wild Style The Sampler provides an inside look at the making of the film, it's release, and the reverberations it caused around the world. Narrated by Ahearn, the book introduces us to a cast of characters and outrageous adventures through a carefully curated collection of never-before-published photographs, original artwork, production stills, archival materials, and personal stories from stars Fab 5 Freddy, Lee Quinones, LADY PINK, ZEPHYR, Patti Astor, Busy Bee, Grandmaster Caz, Frosty Freeze, and Glenn O'Brien, as well as insights into the film's influence by artists, writers, and musicians including Sacha Jenkins, Carlo McCormick, Grand Wizzard Theodore, Melle Mel, Biz Markie, SHARP, REVOLT, Martha Cooper, Cathy Campbell, Cut Chemist, and DJ Krush. Recounting the film's influence over the past quarter century, Wild Style The Sampler offers incomparable insight into hip hop's most indelible film.

In the summer of 1980, Charlie Ahearn began working with Fred Brathwaite and Lee Quinones on the hip hop classic Wild Style, which he wrote and directed and was first screened in 1982. After producing a number of videos on artists, Ahearn wrote and directed his next feature film, Fear of Fiction, in 2000. With Jim Fricke, Ahearn coauthored Yes Yes Y'all: The Experience Music Project Oral History of Hip-Hop's First Decade (Da Capo Press, 2002), which featured more than one hundred photographs, many by Ahearn. Currently hosting a weekly Internet radio show on WPS1.org called Yes Yes Y'all, Ahearn lives and works in New York.

Process Invisible 2

What: A sticker and wheat paste show. The gallery walls of Street Level will be covered in cardboard, and the stickers and wheat pastes will collaged to create a representation of the current state of street art. The first Process Invisible show took place in 2004 and is one of my all time favorite shows.

At the shows end we will sell pieces of the collage as a fundraiser for a legal fund for the City of Portland vs. Clear Channel legal defense. Clear Channel is challenging the cities strict advertising laws and trying to get the same laws applied to public murals. Basically they want the laws overturned and are using free speech as an excuse to get what they want. A local group is representing the mural artists interest and we want to support them. Otherwise nothing submitted to this show will be sold for profit.

Where & When: Street Level Gallery, Portland, Oregon, USA. The show will open on Saturday June 9th and stay up all month long and part of July.

Check out the bio below and the links to his previous works of art.

She One was born in London in 1969 and has been painting and making graphics for twenty years, exhibiting in Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore, Berlin and Milan. His own brand of Abrstact typography is rooted deep in the new wave graffiti era of the early eigthties but his stylised shorthand and uniquely approach to painting keep him firmly in the present. His high personalised work has crossed over into fashion ( most recently working with Addict) product and audio collaborations (Stanton Warriors) causing " Refill Magazine" to refer to him as a leading cultural artist.

HOTEL ESPLANADE

GROUP ART SHOW

xhoch4 Galerie :: Esplanade 5 :: Ingolstadt 8. - 17. Juni 2007

Opening on Friday, 8th of June at 7 p.m.

For the 3rd and apparently the last time xhoch4 are opening their very own exhibition hall. the title of the show goes back to the hotel which will be built next year in the exact same space where the show takes place. It's obvious for the xh4s to make up a show in there, once again. Rene Arbeithuber, Daniel Lange and Boris Schmelter of xhoch4 are showing their newest work. Guests this time: Jonny Wenter from Weimar and Smatik from Augsburg. More information on www.xhoch4.de

Vernissage am Freitag, den 8. Juni ab 19 Uhr.

Zum dritten Mal _ffnet xhoch4 die eigenen Atelier- und Ausstellungsr_ume - voraussichtlich zum letzten Mal an diesem Ort. Namensgeber der Ausstellung ist das HOTEL ESPLANADE, das wohl im n_chsten Jahr den maroden Lagerhallen den Gar aus machen wird. Grund genug, um die R_ume noch mal in Szene zu setzen. Dabei zeigen Ren_ Arbeithuber, Daniel Lange und Boris Schmelter (xhoch4 Ingolstadt) neue Arbeiten. Als G_ste sind diesmal Jonny Wenter (Weimar) und SMATIK (Augsburg) geladen. Zu sehen gibt es junge Kunst aus den Bereichen Malerei, Graffiti und Typografie. Nat¸rlich geht es haupts_chlich um die Kunst, das bedeutet aber nicht, da_ die xhoch4-Haudegen nicht wieder ein Riesen-Remmi-Demmi m_glich machen werden: Am Er_ffnungswochenende ist n_mlich die Hotelbar ge_ffnet. Wir laden herzlich ein!

Des weiteren sei noch auf die folgenden Ausstellungen hingewiesen, zu denen bald noch Information folgt.

STREET PLAY – Exhibition Tour

poster_street_play_ax.jpg a1001cooperx.jpg

EASTPAK presents Martha Cooper's "STREET PLAY", published by From Here to Fame.

Martha Cooper has spent much of her career capturing these miraculous moments in a variety of urban and rural settings. Here we are taken back to the 1970s, when large swaths of New York City's poor minority neighborhoods were being consumed by the fires of urban decay. Ms. Cooper reveals the innocence and the harsh realities facing these children as their exuberant play is juxtaposed against the abandoned shells littering the landscape in Manhattan's legendary Lower East Side. In this fascinating work, Ms. Cooper moves the viewer beyond the substance of the material and evokes profound questions on the eternal and entwined relationship of spirit and stone.”

To celebrate the launch of this book collaboration, EASTPAK will be hosting exhibitions of Martha Cooper’s work at various galleries and venues across Europe including UK, France, Italy, Holland and Germany among others. Martha will be attending selected launch events in person. Find out more about the dates and actions at www.EASTPAK.com

From 7th-16th of June Martha Cooper will be on an europewide exhibition & book signing tour.

The Walls are being threatened with removal unless tagging in the area is reduced and the area stays clean. Venice area residents have been complaining to the City of Los Angeles regarding tagging in the area. ICU Art has negotiated a Pilot Program with the City of Los Angeles in an effort to keep the walls up. We have developed this program as a six-month trial period to see if the program can succeed. The program is managed by ICU Art with the Graffiti Artist in mind. If the program is a success, there is the possibility of more yards in other parts of the city being opened. Please help make this program a success. Keep the walls alive.

Respect:
  • no alcoholic beverages

  • no dogs on weekends at the beach
  • no tagging in the neighborhood

Summary of the New Rules

  • The area is being renamed the Venice Public Art Walls.
  • The walls will be open only on weekends and City holidays.
  • The walls will be closed on weekdays to painting. Enforced by LAPD.
  • All artists will need a permit to paint at any time.

Anthony Lister

Mythology for Beginners

mythologyinvitelisterx.jpg

'Jesus may as well be Superman, God is better understood as 'The Force', and the Devil is more easily recognised within the actions of our politicians and global corporate entities. These are our contemporary codes of living practice. Our urban mythology is now translated through comic books and television sitcoms. The distinction between good and bad plague our existence in every way yet remain ambiguous in their representation.' Anthony Lister, 2007

In his new body of work, Brisbane born artist, Anthony Lister, investigates our media-saturated Manichean beliefs and customs with a unique sharpness. With his own undeniable sense of twist, he teases, mocks and plays with emblematic characters and situations to give way to a deeper understanding of our society. Now living in New-York, Lister has growing international success with solo exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne, London and New York. He is representing Australia at the 2007 International Art Fair in Milan.

Autres Bizarreries

autrb_1x.jpg

Galerie d'art Yves Laroche is proud to present Autres Bizarreries, an exhibition featuring new works by controversial American painters Ron English and Van Arno.

In the world of Autres Bizarreries, one will find contorted and embellished forms linked together by tasty and smart titles; McHappy clowns and heroic babes on canvases and panels of colors; and most definitely, questionable figures and three eyed cats made by brushstrokes for every palette. We invite you to this phantasmagoric experience.

On Wednesday, May 30th from 6 to 9 pm, all are welcome to the carnavalesque opening of Autres Bizarreries which will introduce all guests to the artists, a very special catalog, lush curtains and free candy, friendly freaks and cow girls with more than enough rock, roll and other jingles.

Opening: Wednesday May 30th, 6pm - 9pm

La Galerie D'art Yves Laroche a le plaisir de présenter l'exposition « Autres Bizarreries : Ron English et Van Arno ». Cet événement inaugurera leurs récents tableaux ainsi qu'une première canadienne pour ces artistes américains exploitant des thèmes controversés.

Dans l'univers de Autres Bizarreries, certains trouveront des formes tordues, puis embellies, reliées par la vivacité des titres; des clowns McHappy et des babes héroïques sur canvas et panneau colorés; ou encore, des figures polymorphes et des chats à trois yeux animés d'un coup de pinceau multicolore. Nous vous invitons à prendre part à cette expérience fantasmagorique!

Le mercredi 30 mai, de 18h à 21h, tous sont conviés au vernissage carnavalesque de Autres Bizarreries qui présentera les invités aux artistes, ainsi qu' à un catalogue bien spécial, au décor opulent et aux bonbons gratuits, aux tendres fêlés et aux cow-girls, avec du rock plus qu'il n'en faut, du roll et autres décadences.

"The Art of Living"

Artists reception :
Friday 4 of may 2007 from 18.00 pm until 20.00 pm.

"Coming to Switzerland for my first one man show in Bursins at the Gallery Speerstra...is giving me great pleasure.Growing up in New York City in the 80's..I have had a complete and different upbringing from the image and impression I have of Switzerland. I guess for me it was about making nothing into something. Turning negative into positive. Making my environment into the freshness of the Swiss Alps... These new series of paintings reflect exactly the environment, the changing of the seasons, green pastures and beautiful mountains.

This show will give me an opportunity to bring my vibrant colours to Speerstra‚s new art space, and introducing new subjects in my work. "The Art of Living" is about taking time out to enjoy life for what it is......I hope that these paintings will reflect the quality of life that you can find in Switzerland. "

Vernissage en présence de l‚artiste :
Le vendredi 4 mai 2007 de 18 à 20 heures.

"La Gallery Speerstra m‚accueille pour ma première exposition personnelle en Suisse et c‚est avec un énorme plaisir que je m‚y rends pour le mois de mai. Les peintures réalisées pour l‚occasion reflètent exactement l‚idée que je m‚étais faite de la Suisse lorsque j‚habitais encore à New York au début des années 70. Le changement de saisons, les pâturages verts et de très belles et grandes montagnes. Cette nouvelle exposition me donne l‚occasion d'enmener avec moi une palette de couleurs très vives et éclatantes. C‚est également l‚occasion de montrer encore plus de profondeur et de nouveaux thèmes dans mon travail. "The Art of Living"∑ Prendre le temps d'apprécier la vie pour ce qu'elle est... Mon espoir est que ces nouvelles toiles reflètent la qualité de vie que l'on peut trouver ici."

* Bristol UK: Call for participation

Art Not Oil

We are inviting artists to make anti-greenwash art for a counter-exhibition. BP are sponsoring the National Portrait Gallery Exhibition, which is in Bristol until May 20th. What we want to do is have another exhibition of art outside.

The reason BP are throwing lots of money into sponsoring this exhibition is to make themselves look like a caring, responsible company who support culture and the arts. But we know that they are in up to their necks in exploitation and bloodshed. We invite you to come and help puncture their cynical PR games with witty, sharp art that lays it on the line.

The exhibition is all about portraits, so we thought we could theme the exhibition: "A Real Portrait of BP".

Some Background:

Faces removed from National Portraits Awards

In Colombia BP have been linked with paramilitaries who have tortured, killed and "disappeared" many people for getting in the way of their oil prospecting.

In Recetor, a rural village with 1171 inhabitants, in early 2002 the army arrived. Disappearances began: 2 or 3 per day (uniformed men called peasants by name and forced them into vehicle). After 63 had been "disappeared", the community abandoned the village - those with no money had to suffer fear in silence. 6 months later, after 65 disappearances, BP began oil exploration - no luck finding either oil or bodies.

BP spends a few % of its vast budget on renewables. They spend a whole lot more on PR and advertising to convince us that they are a responsible, sustainable company.

Why are they looking for new oil reserves, when just burning the reserves we have would send the global climate berserk?

The answer, as I'm sure you have probably guessed is money. Big money. Lord Browne, the boss, just got a pay rise to £5.6 million a year.

The Art Not Oil Exhibition has done some great stuff before. Have a look at their online exhibition for some inspiration: http://www.artnotoil.org.uk/gallery/main.php.

Artist/Designer/Illustrator/Photographer based in London. I draw inspiration from the streets around me, and find beauty in unloved and abandoned buildings and places.

Scientists group joins with top cartoonists to announce

SECOND ANNUAL CARTOON CONTEST HIGHLIGHTING THE POLITICIZATION OF SCIENCE

PULITZER PRIZE WINNERS TOM TOLES AND GARRY TRUDEAU, AND 'SPEED BUMP' CREATOR DAVE COVERLY, TO JUDGE ENTRIES

Three top cartoonists have joined with the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) to kick off the organization's second annual "Science Idol" scientific integrity cartoon contest to draw humorous attention to a very serious issue: political interference in science.

The judges for this year's contest include two Pulitzer Prize winners: Washington Post editorial cartoonist Tom Toles and "Doonesbury" creator Garry Trudeau. They will be joined by Dave Coverly, whose cartoon "Speed Bump" has won the National Cartoonists Society's newspaper panel cartoon award twice, and James MacLeod, the Evansville, Indiana, history professor who won last year's contest.

The Science Idol winner will get a free 3-day trip to the nation's capital to have lunch with Toles.

"The absurdity of political interference in science is fertile ground for satire," said Dr. Francesca Grifo, senior scientist and director of the UCS Scientific Integrity Program. "We're sure the creativity of cartoonists can match the wiliness of those politicizing science and help us tell this story."

All artists, amateur or professional, are welcome to participate. The submission deadline is May 22. Cartoons should address the abuse of science in general or highlight one or more of the ways in which science has been misused, ranging from the censorship of scientists to the manipulation of scientific reports. For contest rules and submission guidelines, go to: www.ucsusa.org/scienceidol.

The judges and UCS will narrow the pool to 12 finalists and post the cartoons on the UCS Web site on June 25. Over the following four weeks, the public will be able to vote for the grand prize winner. The grand prize winner will receive $500 on top of the all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. The 12 finalists' cartoons will appear in a 2008 calendar; the grand prize winner's cartoon will be on the cover.

For information on political interference in science, go to www.ucsusa.org/scientific_integrity/.

THE INSIDER ART SHOW

Four Chicago artists - Mike Genovese, Erik DeBat, Joe Compean, and Kingdom Kilpatrick - will showcase their newest works at the innovative "The Insider Art Show" at 154 W. Hubbard on April 26th through April 29th during the weekend celebration of Art Chicago 2007.

The art show will also celebrate the sneak-preview opening of 154 Lofts On West Hubbard, a classic timber-beam loft conversion being developed by Foxford Development and marketed exclusively by Jameson Realty Group in the River North neighborhood.

The Insider Art Show will take place at 154 West Hubbard, just footsteps from Art Chicago, an international art fair taking place at the Merchandise Mart in conjunction with ARTropolis.

The gala VIP preview for The Insider Art Show opens on Thursday April 26th from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and will be sponsored and served by August Hill Winery. Hours for other show dates are: Friday, April 27th from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday, April 28th from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 29th from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The artists have shown their work in professional galleries, public spaces, and alternative art spaces, and are always on the lookout for exciting new ways and environments to exhibit their art. "As an alternative art display space, The Insider Art Show, fits this plan," said DeBat.

At the opening night gala, August Hill Winery will display its private-label wines and gift packages. Founded in 2002, August Hill Winery is owned by Sean Ginocchio and Mark and Teri Wenzel, who all share a passion for producing and promulgating handcrafted wines.

?ISM / Expo & Live graffiti performance

Vernissage giovedì 5 aprile dalle ore 18.00 Spazio Estro, via Zambonate 33, Bergamo

Verbo, Hemo, Font, Loath , Alfa: i cinque writer bergamaschi protagonisti negli ultimi tredici anni del più importante movimento artistico underground internazionale nonché della sua attuale consacrazione come nuova avanguardia contemporanea ( Verbo è stato recentemente scelto da Vittorio Sgarbi per rappresentare la street art italiana nel mondo). Cinque nomi da scrivere, nella migliore tradizione dello stile calligrafico urbano, con spray e marker: la graffiti art si confronta con il fiume di informazioni e di idee che ci bombardano ogni giorno sfidandole sul loro stesso campo, quello della parola scritta.

"?ISM" è un interrogativo che ferma lo sguardo sul crocevia delle correnti di pensiero. Un momento di riflessione e di confronto, un esperimento che parte dal vuoto mediatico disegnando traiettorie spontanee figlie di energie creative fresche e dirompenti.

Nel live painting dei cinque graffiti artist il qualunquismo dilagante degli stereotipi e delle non-opinioni che scandiscono i ritmi della nostra quotidianità si eleva a cardine della nostra società, del nostro modo di pensare: un vero e proprio tributo agli opposti, a tutte quelle differenze profonde eppure solo apparenti perché accomunate dall'appartenenza a categorie rigide e preconfezionate, che contaminandosi assumono identità completamente diverse. Immagini seducenti e squallide, frasi brillanti e ovvie, slogan accattivanti e insulsi, filosofie illuminate o banalità quotidiane: accostate e ricondotte al loro comune denominatore si trasformano in etichette vuote e tutte da scrivere. La base ideale per ripartire dalla cultura di strada alla ricerca di punti di vista inconsueti e genuini. Apertura giovedì 5 aprile alle ore 18.00 con dj-set elettronico di Bonnot ( http://www.myspace.com/akabonnot )

Le opere resteranno esposte fino al 19 aprile.

Mostra organizzata dall'Associazione culturale Xpression in collaborazione con l'Associazione Estro

RETRO RISK--A TWENTY-YEAR ARTISTIC SOJOURN

ARTIST: ERIK DEBAT (RISK ONE)

Join the celebration--"Twenty Years" of paintings 1987-2007--the first solo retrospective by Chicago artist Erik DeBat, a.k.a. "RISK".

If you haven't taken a drive via the Chicago Skyway and along the Indiana Toll Road in awhile, now is your chance to visit one of Northern Indiana's burgeoning artist communities. CISA Studios pronounced KEE-SUH), at 6725 N. Kennedy Avenue in downtown Hammond, IN, has recently moved to a larger building with a new gallery space.

If you embark on this urban American art adventure you'll leave Chicago gridlock behind as you travel the chartered industrial horizon and arrive in the quaint small-town home of The CISA Art Gallery and Studio, just blocks from the campus of Purdue University.

Art lovers will have the chance to experience two decades of artwork work by Erik DeBat all under one roof this Friday March 23rd, 2007 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. with beverages being served all night. The show will run through April 17th, 2007.

The friendship between the East Chicago natives, CISA Crew and Chicago artist Erik DeBat "RISK" goes back to 1989, when they all had the opportunity to meet and work with the Pop Artist Keith Haring. Haring was in town working with Chicago Public High School students on a mural in Grant Park, for The Chicago Cultural Center and Gallery 37.

PLAY-DOC, TUI INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL

In addition to presenting POPaganda in person to the beautiful people of Galicia, Ron English and Venezuelan born filmmaker Pedro Carvajal will do a Q&A and more importantly, they will put up five billboards in Spain with social/political commentaries dealing with the war in Iraq, the US government, corporate greed, etc. And of course, with the wit and humor audiences have come to expect from artist Ron English. An interesting note: Pedro has translated to Spanish a couple of billboards to entertain our hosting country, and pass on the torch to the new art warriors.

An interesting note: Pedro has translated to Spanish a couple of billboards to entertain and enlighten the minds of our hosting country, and pass on the tourch to the new generation of art warriors.

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

Infused with Ron's infectious passion, POPaganda is an engaging thrill ride into the life and art of the "billboard bandit" that will inspire and activate.

Alex Pardee

Pardee's illustrations and paintings are brought to life by translating shapes and colors into signs of torment and absurdity. By juxtaposing these two conflicting moods, he makes the work personal to the viewer, forcing them to project their own feelings and emotions onto each character that lives in this morbid world.

Alex Pardee's art has recently gained the attention of Warner Bros., Reprise Records, Freeze Management, Hurley International, and Twenty Twenty Skateboards (and many more). In 2004, Pardee was asked by the gold-selling rock group The Used to design the artwork for their album, In Love and Death. His designs have since been used for the band's art direction and merchandise, Web site and music video for the single "All That I've Got."

The Tempt One Art Benefit

A Noble Cause For a Noble Man: An Art Benefit Show For Tony 'Tempt' Quan, 'King of Los Angeles Graffiti'

At URB Art Gallery in Culver City, CA, USA

Saturday, March 10, 2007

CULVER CITY, CA - Presented by URB Magazine, Dissizit! Brand, and The Seventh Letter, "Represent, Represent! The Tempt One Art Benefit," is a one-time benefit show to raise funds for Tony 'Tempt' Quan, which will take place on Saturday, March 10, 2007 at the URB Art Gallery in Culver City. Approximately 100 artists (fellow graffiti artists and contemporary legends) are uniting for this event in sole support of Tempt. Legendary urban artists such as Barry McGee, Haze, Mr. Cartoon, and Shepard Fairey will be creating original artwork for this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition. Join many of the artists in person from 7:00pm - 11:00pm at the URB Art Gallery, located at 8553 Washington Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232. For more information, please visit www.temptone.com or visit www.myspace.com/temptone.

Represent, Represent! is to raise funds for artist Tony 'Tempt' Quan, who was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) in 2003, a disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness, ultimately resulting in paralysis. Tempt is from the old school era, an original graffiti writer pioneering since the early '80s who is known for his keen eye for simplicity, clean hand styles and is respected for his dedication to the graffiti movement. He, along with Relic, conceived one of LA's first graffiti magazines, Big Time. Hospitalized for 19 months, those who love and care for Tempt are filled with the hope that he can return home to the loving care of his family, which will undoubtedly lift his spirits and strengthen his will to continue this war against ALS. Due to the seriousness of this disease, he will need special medical attention, around the clock nursing and equipment to sustain him in a home environment. This event will draw artists, collectors, agents, publishers, tastemakers and other industry professionals alike. All proceeds from event will be donated to the Quan family.

"Represent, Represent!" offers fans, professionals, and the general public an ideal opportunity to view and purchase custom works by 100 world-renowned contemporary artists. Over 100 original canvases and 18 spray can sculptures painted by graffiti legends and contemporary artists nationally recognized by the art world today will be available for purchase. Those artists include Barry McGee(Twist/Ray Fong), Gajin Fujita(Hyde), Dr. Revolt, Futura(http://www.futura2000.com/), Haze(http://www.interhaze.com/), Carlos Rodriguez(Mare139), Seen(http://www.seenworld.com/), Slick(http://www.dissizslix.com/), Stash(Recon), Mr. Cartoon(http://www.mistercartoon.com/), Kaws(http://www.kawsone.com/), Shepard Fairey(OBEY), 2tone, Abel, Agua Doe, Alexis Ross, Aloy, Amandalynn, Antonio Pelayo, Asylm, Baba, Blitz, Cale, Cartune, Ceaze, Chaz Bojorquez, Craola, Crime, Dame, Danny D, Dash, David Kawano, Defer, Dez Einswell, Doc43, Duke, East3, Eklips, Else, Eriberto Oriol, Estevan Oriol, Evol, Ewok, Ewsoe, Eye, Fate Venem, Finn, Germs, Gkae, Glare, Glory, Graham Nystrom, Green, Grey, Grime, Haeler, Hamzteezee, Hazen, Hense, Heaven, Ionone, Jason Kundell, Jero, Jersey Joe/Rime, Kel First, Kenton Parker, Keyn, King157, Kofie, Krenz, Krush, Les Schettkoe, Make, Man One, Mear, Midzt, Mystic, Norm, Oscar Magallanes, Patrick Martinez, Pep Williams, Peque, Persue/Bunny Kitty, Pnut, Precise, Prime, Push, Pysano, Ralph Guzman, Reas, Relic, Retna, Revok, Reyes, Rob Abeyta, Jr., Roger Gastman, Saber, Sev, Sever, Skept, Some, Steel, Steve Grody, Stormie Mills, Swank, The Mac, Tloks, Tommy Ruets, Totem2, Tyke, Ulysses, Vox, Vyal, Wise, Witnes, Zane1, Zephyr and Zeser.

This may be the largest collection of graffiti and contemporary urban art by so many legends in one exhibit, all uniting for the sole support of their friend, idol and icon, Tempt. As Raymond Roker, founder of URB Magazine states, "When Slick (legendary graffiti artist and designer) approached us to be a part of a benefit for the graffiti artist Tempt, I was immediately committed to the goal of helping an artist I knew from back in the day. But the scope of the outpouring of support from all corners of the art world was something I didn't expect. This effort has really touched people, and I know it will mean something to Tempt, his family and the art community at large."

Famed graffiti artist Eklips (The Seventh Letter/Known Gallery) adds "I'm blessed to be able to show my respect to Tempt in this way."

There will also be a VIP preview for serious buyers and collectors, that same day from 1:00pm - 4:00pm at the gallery (Invitations will be sent to buyers or you can email represent@urb.com for more info).

Arnaud "END" Vivane

END IS DEAD

Exhibition from Saturday the 10 of March until Saturday the 21 of April 2007
Varnishing Friday the 9 of March 2007 from 7 pm

The expression of brussels artist Arnaud " END " Vivane is born with the choice of his colors, their shapes, their relative positions and the contrasts between the different tones.

Coming from Graffiti movement in the nineties, his need to innovate, makes him develop a very personal style, close to what you could encounter in cellular imaging. Acting as a fluorescent microscopy sector, it allows us to easily bring it together with endoplasmic reticulums, chromatins and other lysosomes.

Using gross materials, his style, a highly complex system, is home to intense energy exchanges showing wide interphase surfaces. As every other living being, he assimilates, grows, multiplies and exists.

Every canvas created is a living entity, that function by itself but still is coordinated with others. Your brain does the rest!

Legendary Graffiti Artist Launches

First Solo Exhibition

The first solo gallery exhibition from internationally renowned graffiti artist Fista will be shown at Archipelago Art Gallery in Sheffield. Seen as a legend by many, Fista's career to date has been controversial. Always at the centre of the 'art or vandalism' debate on graffiti, his work has developed in a pure form that consists of complex letterforms and strong intuitive lines. A purist who avoids excessive technicality and bloated airbrush-style spray methods, his pieces have a subtle polemic that is true to his street roots. His instinctive assurance with colour and his confident drawing style are evident in this new collection of abstract and bold paintings.

The exhibition will also see the launch of a new series of original limited edition screen prints by Fista; freshly reworked designs by the artist and based on some of his most notorious pieces over the past 15 years, featuring the tags Ajax, Fista and Clit.

With interest in the output of street artists now running high amongst gallery owners and art buyers worldwide, the exhibition represents an opportunity to see at first hand the work of this influential artist. Most works are for sale, with some pieces also on loan from private collectors.

The show will launch with a private viewing on Thursday 22nd February and will be open to the public on Friday 23rd until Saturday 17th March 2007.

"The Early Bird"

Upper Playground In Association With FIFTY 24PDX Gallery Is Pleased To Present The Early Bird

FIFTY 24PDX Gallery presents a new exhibit of artwork from the Brooklyn-based duo Morning Breath. In celebration of the release of their recent book of the same name, "The Early Bird" will exhibit Morning Breath artwork from recent years alongside new pieces and installations designed specifically for this show.

Doug Cunningham and Jason Noto founded the design studio Morning Breath, Inc. in 2002. As design collaborators, they deliver informed visual experiences for a wide array of industries from gaming to advertising, publishing to clothing. As art collaborators, Morning Breath showcases an approach which transcends the pop clutter with pieces that fuse portraiture, collage, and digital composition. Using bold colors and bolder characters, their work explores gritty inspiration from tats, muscle cars, pointed push up bras, the back of comic books, bail bonds, Mexican wrestlers, and little kids.

An opening reception for The Early Bird will be held Thursday, February 1st, from 6:00-9:30PM and will feature the artists in attendance, along with music from DJ Safi and libations from Widmer Bros.

« A banana envy »

« He was sleeping in the street, I talked to him, I gained his trust and he folowed me to my place. I fed him and offered him a place to sleep…He grew and I raised him but still, it’s a beast, a wild animal…That’s why he bit me. So I beat him up and he started to love me…He respects me because I feed him…NEB »

From this story, « Les zaventures de Zinzin & Mazout » was born.

A succession of albums from which the author shows us the silkscreened covers, giving us the freedom to imagine the content of the stories. These are accompanied by some exclusive illustrations which set the tone.

It’s transposed in these two heroes, that the Artist and Himself open the doors to a world in which there are no boundaries. Free of any inhibition, he losses himself in his graphical fantasies with macabre pleasure.

Self-taught artist from the graffiti world, his influences include underground comics, tattoo and posters (political, cinema,…). Making a subtle association of typography with images, his growing varied graphic repertory, his sketches and perfectionism instil his drawings with a very magnetic personal style.

By transmitting this in each object drawn, he reveals to us « his good as well as his bad feelings » and takes us constantly back and forth between

The light and the dark without gradient…

* Call for participation

PROPAGANDA III

We are inviting artists from around the world to create political artwork for the third installment of our PROPAGANDA art show.

In 2007, START SOMA will launch PROPAGANDA III, a political poster art show that will tour the world through 2008.

The PROPAGANDA III tour opens in San Francisco in APRIL 2007.

There will be no curation and absolutely NO censorship of any sort. Expressed political viewpoints, be they left, right, or center, will be displayed side-by-side, both online AND in the real world. We are currently accepting poster submissions from artists from around the world.

PROPAGANDA III will tour the globe through 2008, with dozens of one day art shows worldwide - the current schedule includes stops throughout north america, south america, australia, asia, europe, and the middle east. NO art will be sold at any of the art shows, although individual posters will be available for sale directly through participating artists. We are currently adding galleries + venues worldwide to the schedule, and the only requirements for participation include hosting a one day opening, and paying to ship the posters to the next show.

The world's first truly global, peer-to-peer, open source art show, if you will! ;-)

The final collection will be donated to the Center for the Study of Political Graphics in Los Angeles. With over 50,000 posters, the CSPG archive is the largest collection of Post World War II graphics in the United States, and we are absolutely honored that the posters from PROPAGANDA III will have a permanent home following the world tour.

Reflecting Our Identity: The New Civil Rights Movement

OAKLAND, CA January 5, 2007. The recent inauguration of Nancy Pelosi as the first woman Speaker of the House represents a breakthrough to many and reminder of the long struggle of women to reach this point. Many parallels can be drawn to the late 1960s and the heyday of the civil rights movement with images of activists rising up for human rights and against the Viet Nam war. However, for the LBGTQ community, the era is more representative of an earlier time, when racism and sexism was even more overt and people could be lynched simply being who they were in the wrong part of town. Today, anything non-heterosexual remains demonized and a taboo subject among most, especially those within the hip-hop community. Mainstream hip-hop artists actively perform songs that promote anger and violence as masculine and weakness as feminine or gay. The majority of the underground artists, even "progressive" or "political" emcees, won't touch the subject either.

Once again, Oakland youth are taking on the untouchable challenge by facing their own fears and prejudices towards the LBGTQ community. In a series of artwork on mirrors, students will create works reflecting their attitudes both towards the LBGTQ community but also towards their own identity. Recognizing that our creative Weapons Of Mass Expression are the only defense against the WMDs of global imperialism, these students acknowledge that it is all one struggle.

In a massive, all ages opening celebration, performers from all backgrounds and sexual persuasions will come together to renew this movement. At the forefront will be the Deep Dickollective, visionary gay emcees challenging the heterogeneity of the hip-hop culture. Heather Christian, a powerful straight spoken word poetess from Sacramento will add her perspective. Also rocking the mic will be NaR, a queer Arab hip-hop crew with roots in mountains of Lebanon. The event will be hosted by Wonway Posibul of the Secluded Journalists. More performers will be added soon, and expect some surprise special guests.

Craola

Reception Thursday, February 1, 7-9:30 pm

FIFTY24SF Gallery is pleased to announce a new collection of paintings and illustrations by Greg " Craola" Simkins in his first San Francisco solo show.

Combining elements of pop-culture, fairy tales, and dreamlike imagery, Simkins creates art that shows how nightmares are made. His paintings and illustrations capture a sinister, yet curious imagination that was set free and continues to grow as an adult. By taking iconic childhood images, like Dr Seuss characters or Charlie Brown, and placing them in a realm of fantasy and horror, his work is precisely detailed. "It always seems that the characters in our favorite childhood stories are transcending the natural world for ones made from fantastic imaginations," Simkins has said in past interviews.

Greg Simkins was born and raised in Torrance, California, located outside of the Los Angeles area. His interest in art began upon his discovery of crayons and cartoons at a young age. Simkins' artistic career later started to develop after being introduced to spray paint in 1993, where he took on the name "Craola". It was through spray paint that his style transitioned into the use of acrylics paints that led him to create the color combinations and blending techniques he is infamous for. His wild style graffiti lettering techniques can be seen in the way his characters twist and morph into different creatures.

After receiving a degree in Studio Art from California State University, Long Beach, Simkins went on to spend a number of years working as a Texture & 2D Artist for Treyarch/Activision. Simkins is now a full time painter and designer whose clients consist of Warner Bros., Disney, 20th Century Fox, Capitol Records, Converse, To Die For Clothing, Strange Co, AFI, Pennywise, Deviates, 1208, Saosin and more. Greg's artwork can be further enjoyed at www.imscared.com.

An opening reception for Greg "Craola" Simkins will be held Thursday February 1st, 7-9:30 pm, at FIFTY24SF Gallery, located at 248 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA 94117.

Gallery hours are Tuesday thru Friday 12-7pm / Saturday and Sunday 1-7pm

Faile, David Ellis, Swoon

Faile, Swoon and David Ellis all take their cue from the street. Well renowned individually, their show "The Burning House" will provide a high concentration of talent in collaborations as well as individual works on display.

Swoon's intricate paper cutouts have been covering the streets of New York for the past six years with people doing ordinary things - riding bikes, talking on a stoop or going grocery shopping. Her delicate wheatpasted cutouts take inspiration from German Expressionist wood block prints and Indonesian shadow puppets, but infuse a uniquely urban sensibility in the way they become part of the streetscape as they decay over time. Her work has shown at Deitch Projects and P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in New York, and was also featured in the 2006 Whitney Biennial.

Growing up in a family of musicians heavily influenced the work of David Ellis, whose "motion paintings" travel through time like music, where beats are orchestrated and translated into colorful, organic paintings. His improvisational wild style sign painting has been a central part of the Barnstormers collective over the years. His works have appeared in public projects in New York, London, and Osaka.

Faile is a three-person collective based in New York that pulls influences from comic book art, pulp fiction and popular culture. Their work has appeared on the streets all over the world, and at Shanghai's Tiger Translate, San Francisco's FIFTY24SF, Zurich's Les Complices and Berlin's Neurotitan Haus Schwarzenberge. From enormous wheat paste posters, to three published books, the quality of their work has propelled them from street renegades to some of the best galleries in the art world.

BLVD Gallery presents

The Art Army Guerilla Crew

New sculpted Figurines by Mike Leavitt

Plus New Paintings By Kristian Olson, Colin Johnson, and Chris Huth

Artist Reception Friday December 8 6pm - 10pm BLVD Gallery
2316 2nd ave
Seattle Wa 98121

BLVD Gallery is proud to present the latest installment in Michael Leavitt's Art Army® series, “The Guerilla Crew”. The Art Army® action figures are homages to the killer art and artists that rock our world. Instead of making boring normal art, Leavitt is paying tribute to great people and work. This is no customization hobby, and it also ain't some profound artistic statement. The one-off figures are each original, fully posable mini sculptures engineered for major articulation. They look like real toys, but no Art Army® figure is machine manufactured. These action figures don't fit in any molds. Each is sculpted from scratch as one artists' offering to an icon. The “Guerilla Crew” is Mikes tribute to the vibrant street/ urban art community featuring legends of graffiti, skateboarding, Hip Hop, and street fashion. For this show Mike has sculpted figurines of Banksy, Twist, Seen, Tupac, Nigo, Basquiat, Lady Pink, ODB, Fafi, and more.

We are also proud to present new works from three very talented painters, Kristian Olson (Los Angeles), Colin Johnson (Minnesota), and Chris Huth (Denver/Seattle).

All three of these artists have been getting attention individually for their unique approach to the craft of painting. Kristian Olson has developed a mixed media technique for his work. Combining elaborately designed digital artwork, giclée printing, and acrylic paint he creates otherworldly entities and structures that beg for exploration.

Colin Johnson utilizes an interesting combination of collage and more painterly technique that transitions between otherworldly and homespun.

Chris Huth brings a more street level approach to his work, having once been active in the graffiti world. He is now pushing towards a more refined look to his work leaving behind the ubiquitous drips and clouds that typify graffiti inspired artwork while retaining his strong graphic style.

A3

A3 Opening: venerdì 1 dicembre ore 19 Durata: dal 1 dicembre 2006 al 15 gennaio 2007 NOTgallery Piazza Trieste e Trento, 48 80132 Napoli www.notgallery.com --ind info@notgallery.com

A3 è un reportage sull'arte visiva di strada (VSA, visual street art) in Italia; è un progetto che ha lo scopo di interrogarsi sul futuro di questo genere artistico e sulla sua possibilità d'influenzare il sistema dell'arte contemporanea, contribuendo ad allargarne il pubblico. NOTgallery ha coinvolto in questo progetto alcuni tra i migliori artisti della VSA da tutta Italia.

Della VSA sono state rintracciate le originali matrici che provengono dalla cultura Hip Hop, di cui il writing era uno dei 4 elementi, insime all'MCing, il DJing ed il BREAKing. Tali 4 elementi si sono evoluti poi autonomamente l'uno dall'altro, divenendo delle vere e proprie discipline indipendenti; ma mentre l'MCing, il DJing ed il BREAKing sono diventati fondamentali per lo sviluppo della musica e della danza contemporanee, il writing, ed in generale l'arte visiva di strada, è rimasta un fenomeno isolato dal sistema dell'arte.

Ciò che la VSA ha conservato dalla sua matrice Hip Hop è il "peccato d'origine", cioè la possibilità di "attecchire" e crescere soltanto all'interno di contesti fisicamente e socialmente degradati, dove lo sviluppo della creatività è l'unica arma per combattere l'assenza di mezzi materiali; ma soprattutto dell'Hip Hop ha mantenuto la fondamentale modalità espressiva che si basa sull'incontro e la competizione tra i partecipanti.

L'incontro e la competizione tra due artisti, due gruppi o due tendenze non sono funzionali al raggiungimento di uno status sociale, quanto piuttosto al miglioramento della propria creatività. La musica Hip Hop, ad esempio, prende origine dall'incontro e il confronto tra due interlocutori che si stimolano a vicenda nella creazione di brani in FreeStyle (la competizione improvvisatoria). La musica dell'altro costituisce una sfida, ma nello stesso tempo anche un punto di partenza: più l'interlocutore è bravo e da il meglio di sé, più chi lo sfida deve migliorarsi per essere, se non superiore, allo stesso livello. Così anche nell'arte visiva di strada molto spesso i "pezzi" sono frutto dell'interazione tra diverse mani; spesso s'interviene addirittura su lavori che altri artisti hanno lasciato molto tempo prima (se li si considera superati li si copre, altrimenti li si "rispetta"). In sostanza non esisterebbe l'arte di strada se non con l'incontro ed il confronto con "l'altro".

Fin dalle sue origini la cultura Hip Hop è cresciuta grazie alla competizione tra gruppi afro-americani, giamaicani e portoricani. Quando è uscita dai confini di New York, si è sviluppata grazie alla competizione tra le tendenze West Coast e East Coast.

Il motivo per cui la VSA è rimasto un fenomeno distaccato dal sistema dell'arte contemporanea è dipeso da due ordini di ragioni: da un lato la VSA ha avuto delle carenze rispetto alle altre discipline che derivano dalla cultura Hip Hop e dall'altro le caratteristiche del sistema dell'arte sono in contrasto con gli intenti dell'arte di strada.

Le discipline musicali della cultura Hip Hop forniscono un ottimo esempio di ciò che all'arte visiva di strada è mancato: 1) l'MCing ed il DJing nella formula base d'espressione, cioè il FreeStyle, possono manifestarsi anche, e soprattutto, in ambiti legali d'incontro; 2) lì dove l'incontro non è possibile la musica può essere trasmessa e conosciuta attraverso supporti digitali standard di comunicazione (CD, MP3, ecc.). Dall'altra parte il sistema dell'arte visiva contemporanea, almeno per come si è sviluppato negli ultimi trent'anni, non ha alcun interesse a consentire ad una cultura espressiva che ha la capacità di rivolgersi ad intere generazioni di giovani, di accedere al proprio "mondo", scardinando una realtà che si basa sull'illusione d'essere appannaggio d'una élite culturale.

Sull'esempio delle discipline musicali, A3 intende fornire alla VSA un contesto legale di libera espressione ed un formato standard di lavoro che sia di facile utilizzo e diffusione (il formato A3 tipografico appunto) che permetta agli artisti "d'incontrare" le opere degli altri lì dove l'incontro fisico e la competizione tra di essi non è possibile e, al pubblico appassionato d'arte, di conoscere contemporaneamente una grande varietà di artisti delle diverse discipline eredi del writing.

In mostra saranno presenti circa 300 disegni tutti realizzati in formato A3 su vari supporti realizzati da 40 artisti italiani. A3 è un progetto in collaborazione con Angels of Love
