Shows and Events: This Month

Nothing but FR8 dvd - TLT4 - The Lines Toughest

About this calendar

Your Show: Send ready-to-post plain text in email to info@graffiti.org and if it isn't obvious, explain why it's a graffiti-related event. Send the flyer later when it is done.
Think globally: Remember to include the name of your city, state, and country.
Strategy: Increase attendance and limit local competition by making early announcements. Last-minute posts might not be published.
Artists: Don't hope that curators will make your announcements for you, because they do it too late. Do it yourself! Just send us the location and the dates as soon as you schedule a show. Tip us off about other graffiti events you know about also.
Undated: Recurring events, calls for participation, and new publications and products move to the Ongoing events page.
Updated: About once a week.

These hand silkscreen prints were first showcased at the showroom gallery for the "In a Girls World" Female Urban Art Exhibition featuring the Migdallion Vintage Sneaker Collection.

Jisoe

Sydney Premier - Chauvel Cinema

jisoeframes.jpg

Thursday 24 August 6.30 pm

Chauvel Cinema
Paddington Town Hall
Corner Oatley Road and Oxford Street
Paddington
Phone: 9361-5398 [this phone number may be old]

Jisoe is set inside Melbourne's underground graffiti scene. The provocative film exposes for the first time how this international culture has carved an identity in Australian suburbia.

The film centres on Justin Hughes (aka Jisoe), a young graffiti artist who is part of an emerging Australian underclass. The story swings between Justin's gritty daily existence of painting trains and smoking drugs, to intimate, emotional moments such as the birth of his child, the deterioration of his relationship and, finally, his eventual mental breakdown.

Jisoe reveals a private, highly secretive (and paranoid) subculture, taking place completely in the face of the public. Although the film is set to a backdrop of ambitious graffiti art and a soundtrack including original local hip hop artists.

Don't Call Me Dude

don_tcallmedudex.jpg

Organized by Taste the Adventure, the skateboard shop in Madoc, ON, Canada.

Call for participation: graffiti artists in the Toronto, Kingston, or Ottawa areas. Madoc is right in-between the three cities. Organizers will provide paint, 4x8 plywood, and food. The demo will happen through the day (9am to 4pm). One of the local building owners is interested in mounting the (6) pieces as a permanent display! Her building is at the main intersection of town. Considering Madoc is a town of 1200 people this will be very cool. The "theme" of the art will be things of interest to women. Other than that it's up to the artist what they want to do.

We are hosting an all girl day at the local skate park. This is a free festival and all the proceeds of the BBQ will go to the skate park.

There will be girl bands playing all day, graffiti art demonstrations, female vendors, lots of good food, and of course tons of skateboarding.

A 25th Anniversary Breakin’ Event at Lincoln Center Out of Doors

Thursday, August 10, 2006, 6:00–7:10 p.m.
Josie Robertson Plaza
Lincoln Center, New York City

This event is free and open to the public
For more information, please call +1-212-LINCOLN (+1-212-546-2656)

Twenty-five years ago, the first breakin’ battle for a large public audience was held at Lincoln Center Out of Doors. Henry Chalfant organized a battle between two New York break dancing groups to introduce breaking to the public. The original breakin’ battle event, of all male dancers, held on August 15, 1981, was photographed by legendary hip-hop documentarian Martha Cooper who is now coordinating the 25th anniversary event, We B*Girlz.

To honor the rise of the b-girlz, as well as pay homage to the b-boyz who paved the way, Lincoln Center Out of Doors will present We B*Girlz: A 25th Anniversary Breakin’ Event on Thursday, August 10th on the Josie Robertson Plaza at 6:00 p.m.

In the past 25 years, women have become a strong, driving force in the hip-hop scene. As documented in We B*Girlz (Miss Rosen Editions/powerHouse Books, 2005), the first book to showcase the b-girl scene worldwide. Cooper partnered with text editor Nika Kramer to speak with old and new school b-girlz around the globe about their work to redefine the role of women in a traditionally male-dominated field.

The We B*Girlz Lincoln Center Out of Doors event will feature an all-star international line-up of female performers, participants and judges. Emceed by Toni Blackman, New York, and featuring music by DJ Sparkles, Philadelphia.  It will feature a 3-on-3 battle between four crews: Dynamic Rockers and Fox Force, both New York City; Style Comes First, Philadelphia; and Flowzaic, London. There will also be performances by popper/locker Rowdy of Flowzaic as well as a group show by members of Keep Risin’ to the Tops, a dance troupe based in Spanish Harlem. The judges include Rokafella, New York; Asia One, Los Angeles; and Aruna, Rotterdam. The backdrop will be painted by graffiti legend Lady Pink along with Toofly and Muck.

Prior to announcing the winner of the battle, Henry Chalfant will introduce original b-boys from the 1981 event, bringing them on stage to take their bows. When the winner is announced, Toni Blackman will freestyle with two members of her Cipher Workshop, in a grand finale, with everyone on stage taking part in a jam that recognizes the achievements of both b-boys and b-girls, as well as old school and new school styles.

One of New York’s most anticipated summer traditions, Lincoln Center Out of Doors, now in its 36th year, is enjoyed annually by thousands of people who come to its FREE music, dance, spoken-word, special events, and interactive family programs representing traditional and contemporary arts and culture from around the world, and the rich cultural diversity of New York City.

For a complete listing of Out of Doors 2006 events,  visit Lincoln Center’s website: http://www.lincolncenter.org/ or to request a brochure, call 212-LINCOLN.

We B*Girlz: A 25th Anniversary Breakin’ Event at Lincoln Center Out of Doors is funded by National Endowment for the Arts and co-sponsored by City Lore, Inc. in collaboration with The Point, C.D.C.

Recent Oil Paintings

[Sub is famous in the graffiti world for his detailed and fabulous characters. In the indoor art world, he is famous for his photo-realistic still life and landscape paintings. These must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. His paintings are so fine and so detailed that it's hard to believe. He is truly one of the contemporary American masters. These paintings are investment quality and a joy to behold. See for yourself in one of his rare West Coast exhibitions.]

CORTIZZA

flip_2portoalegrex.jpg cortizza_4x.jpg

a Felipe Yung (aka FLIP) exhibition at Galeria Adesivo

Felipe Yung, aka Flip, is an artist from Sao Paulo that mastered his calligraphy all over the city landscape. But he was also one of the first graffiti writers in Brazil to draw characters without letters in the streets and work with posters and stickers. Creating mainly characters, like the "Flipitos" (little ones) and "Jagunços" (giants with little heads), Flip have influences in urban culture (art, fashion and music), urban (tags and pixação) and Japanese calligraphy (Shodo) and print (Ukiyo-e).

He showed his art in several art galleries and recently passed by Europe, where he did shows in spaces like Subaquatica (Madrid) and Galerie Kamchatka (Paris).

With his friend Sesper, he opened MOST gallery (RIP) in Sao Paulo's downtown, the first in the country focused in urban art, presenting shows with artists like Nunca, Onesto, Tinho, Titi Freak, Vitché and Herbert Baglione. He also work as a graphic designer, doing works like the record covers for major and independent musicians, as Marcelo D2, Paulo Napoli and Echo Sound System, and design works for companies as Sony Music, MTV and Volkswagen.

Now Flip is opening his first show in Porto Alegre, the biggest city in the south of Brazil, near Argentina and Uruguay. In Galeria Adesivo (Flip's long time friends) he's presenting CORTIZZA. Flip is used to paint in paper and wood, and now is working with a material that is in between the two: the cork. For this show, he painted in cork sheets and used bottle stoppers to create strange three legged toys. He also painted in the walls of the gallery and draw with burned bottle stoppers.

The exhibition will be open in July and August, with all the paintings for sale, together with a limited hand made series of cork toys. This is the 19th show from Galeria Adesivo, a space devoted to urban art, skateboard related art and underground comics.

Richard Colman continues his personal mythology with a new series of paintings entitled Come to Me.

Richard was born in 1976 in Silver Springs, Maryland and received his BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Colman has had numerous shows around the world, has contributed artwork to various books and has been featured in a variety of magazines.

Graffiti at Brooklyn Museum

Media Preview Thursday, June 29, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Brooklyn Museum presents Graffiti, an exhibition of twenty large-scale works from such influential artists as Michael Tracy ("Tracy 168"), Melvin Samuels, Jr. ("NOC 167"), Sandra Fabara ("Lady Pink"), Chris Ellis ("Daze"), and John Matos ("Crash").

Not tree + Not sky = Brick

By Jinpow

This show explores an alternative reality where anything is possible. Great mountains of "goo" run wild, explosions burst out of its side whilst winged brains placidly fly on by. This fantasy land plays with non-sensical visual language that relates to pop and subversive cartoon imagery. The viewer is drawn in by the inviting ice cream-like vistas, only to realise there is a darker nature to the work. Treacle flows down a sumptuous cloud which acts as camouflage for a grimacing monster. Winding abstract architecture grows across the wall, reminiscent of the 3-D letter styles used in graffiti. Floating castles house toxic mutant ninjas that are whimsically going about their every day work.
