On Wednesday, November 3rd 2004, (after the 2004 USA Presidential Elections) many Americans awoke rejoicing, others awoke in disbelief, wondering "what just happened?". The headlines read, "The People Have Spoken!"... but, is this really what the 'people' were saying?

Aerosol Warfare Gallery, through Red vs Blue, is providing an outlet for total freedom of (artistic) expression. Top Artists and Designers from across the United States and from around the world have voiced their opinion via 11"x17" poster art. The love/hate towards the 2004 elections, the process, the outcome, the media influence, and the future of the American Dream are just a few of the themes reflected in the exhibition.

The 'Red vs Blue' exhibition steps to promote dialog and unification in this divided nation. open the lines of communication between the Republicans and the Democrats, between the Independents and the Undecided, between the Left Wing Liberals and Right Wing Conservatives, Between the Haves and the Have-Nots, Between the Voices that are heard and the Voices Ignored.

This exhibition will open on Saturday, December 18th, 2004 in Houston, TX (ground zero to all that is Bush).

"It isn't enough to talk about Peace...One must Believe in it! It isn't enough to Believe in it...One must Work at it.!" Eleanor Roosevelt.

Josh MacPhee is an artist and activist based in Chicago whose work often revolves around themes of radical politics and public space. He recently released his first book, Stencil Pirates: A Global Survey of Street Stenciling (Soft Skull Press). When not destroying his lungs with spraypaint or getting sticky with wheatpaste, he organizes the Celebrate People's History Poster Series and works with larger groups of artists to create giant collective cultural events like the Department of Space and Land Reclamation and the Autonomous Territories of Chicago. Josh will share a slide show history of street stenciling and discussion of expression in public space.

Melissa Klein lives in San Francisco, where she writes and illustrates the fiction zine Inkling, performs short plays and monologues, and works with her punk community to create humorous political street theater. She recently co-edited, with Sara Jaffe, the audiozine Long Ago and Right Now, a compilation of songs and stories about San Francisco. Melissa's new book, Looking and Other Stories, is a collaboration with artist Sara Thustra. It includes work from her zines as well as stories that have appeared in Punk Planet, the anthology It's All Good (Manic D Press) and elsewhere. She will be reading from this book, with pictures projected for your multisensory enjoyment.

Jennifer Whiteford teaches, writes, and goes to rock shows in Ottawa, Ontario. Her six year old perzine, Matilda has won rave reviews and spawned her online journal Matilda Says. Last year, she released The Mattie Stories, a collection of short fiction one reviewer called "the Vinyl Cafe for indie rockers." Up until very recently, Jennifer played guitar and sang with the all-girl all-rock Ottowa band Sophomore Level Psychology. Her first novel, Grrrl, is currently in publishing purgatory, but she will read excerpts from it on tour anyway. Watch out, she'll be using her "teenage voice."

To go with the release of Issue: H, B/D has teamed up with Subject Matter gallery to show the work of 14 artists in the form of Activist Poster art.

Black Letter

blackletter3x.JPG

An exhibition of new paintings by O.Two.

Using hooded themes and veiled motives, O.Two has created a new collection of work based around the written type-form. The new work painted for the exhibition is a snap-shot of the fractured typography and ornate interpretations of New York graffiti that have emerged from the artist's illegal pieces. Black Letter draws together the two sides of the artist's creative identity and offers a glimpse of the guilty rhythm running behind the work.

OFF THE WALL 04 - Transforming Style: Graffiti weitergedacht

teaser_offthewall04x.gif Arbeiten von Asket, Efas, Monika Leitner, Moritz, Maze, Neck, Retroe und Seak.

Website: http://www.offthewall04.de

Kulturfabrik Krefeld
Dießemer Str. 13
47799 Krefeld

Anfahrtsskizze:  http://www.kulturfabrik-krefeld.de/programm/weg.htm


Die Ausstellung OFF THE WALL zeigt Arbeiten von acht Künstlern, die sich zum Teil seit über 15 Jahren intensiv mit dem Thema Graffiti auseinandersetzen. In dieser Zeit haben sie die deutsche und euro päische Szene geprägt, die Möglichkeiten und Spielarten des Genres ausgelotet, ihre Stile verfeinert und ihre eigenen Per spektiven gefunden. Sie alle betrachten Graffiti aus einem erwachsenen, künst lerischen Blickwinkel.

OFF THE WALL zeigt Grenzgänger: hybride Arbeiten, die Einflüsse aus Fotographie, Film, Design, Malerei und Architektur mit der wilden Typographie und dem ungebändigten Ego des Graffiti verschmelzen lassen. Hier entsteht neue Kunst, die sich den Fesseln herkömmlicher Kategorisierungen zu entziehen weiß.

Fotographie zelebriert hier inszenierte Schriftzüge als Raumkunst. Parasitäre Architektur holt die Buchstaben von der Wand und erweckt sie zu einem monumentalem Eigenleben. Die ausgestellten Raumobjekte machen Typographie greifbar, erlebbar, ja sogar begehbar. Reduzierte Grafiken verstehen es, die Schriftzüge elegant unsichtbar zu machen und die Serigrafien fangen das Kultobjekt (den Trainyard bzw. das Zugdepot) der Szene in einen traditionsreichen Kontext ein.

OFF THE WALL zeigt Kunst, die herkömmliche Sparten aufbricht und neu befruchtet. Hier verschmelzen Stilrichtungen. Hier wird Graffiti als Kunst weitergedacht.

DIE KÜNSTLER
Die acht Künstler (Asket, Efas, Monika Leitner, Moritz, Maze, Neck, Retroe, Seak/Claus Winkler) von OFF THE WALL haben die europäische Grafitti-Szene mit ihren Arbeiten beeinflusst und geprägt. Alle haben neben Auftragsarbeiten für große Unternehmen schon Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen in Deutschland, dem europäischen Ausland und weltweit gehabt, u.a. im Museum für angewandte Kunst (Köln), Tanzhaus NRW/Global Skillz (Düsseldorf), Urban Discipline 2001 und 2002 (Hamburg), Akademie der Künste/Z 2000 - Positionen junger Kunst und Kultur (Berlin), Die Fabrik/Kunsttour 2004 (Maastricht/Niederlande), Worldspray Exhibition (Mailand/Italien), Kiasma Museum Of Contemporary Art/The Finnish National Gallery (Helsinki/ Finnland), Crewest Galerie/Abstrakte Letters (Los Angeles/USA)...

Neben zahlreichen Artikeln und Veröffentlichungen in deutschen Magazinen (z.B. Backspin, brett, PAGE) und der Tagespresse (Rheinische Post, Express etc.), wurden ihre Arbeiten auch in internationalen Maga- zinen (World Signs (FRA), Graphotism (UK), ZGB Kaos (Kroatien), Blitzkrieg (AUS)) publiziert. Ihre Arbeitsreisen führten sie neben fast allen Ländern Europas auch nach Nord- und Südamerika, Asien und Australien.

Die acht Künstler treffen in dieser Konstellation zum ersten Mal aufeinander, um ihre unterschiedlichen Perspektiven der Kunstform Graffiti einer breiten Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren. Dabei repräsentieren sie das Konzept von OFF THE WALL - Graffiti weitergedacht auf eine individuelle und gleichzeitig vielfältige Art und Weise.

3 New Graffiti Movies: Tagging Town & Country

  • Who is Bozo Texino
  • Piece By Piece
  • Underfoot

Tentatively slated to introduce his magnum opus Who Is Bozo Texino?, Bill "Flight Risk" Daniel delivers the results of 20 years of dangerous documentation of hobo and railworker graffiti. Hand-crafted from hours of super-8 and 16mmfilm, freight-car interviews and campfire recordings, and copious photos of chalk and grease-pencil monikers, this subcultural survey narrates a very rare history of railroad's greatest graffiti legends. Also in person, Jon Parker's hour-plus Piece picks up the story in Œ70s SF, and painstakingly chronicles the generations of urban spray-painters since. Capping off this carnival of outsider art is Melinda Stone's marvelous new movie on sidewalk graffiti!

RON ENGLISH

nycronenglish112004x.jpg nycronenglish112004bx.jpg

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 20TH, 2004

7PM - 11PM

POPagandist, billboard bandit, post-pop pundit, post-punk prankster, countercultural cartoonist, subvertising executive, culture-jammer. The artist with his finger on the pulse card of the nation. Ron English takes on the icons of pop culture and puts a little ìEnglishî on them. A Robin Hood of Madison Ave., Ron paints, perverts, infiltrates, reinvents and satirizes modern culture and its popular visual iconography on canvas, in song, and directly on his hundreds of pirated billboards. Ron exists as a pop culture anomaly, somewhere between a cartoon Abbie Hoffman and a grown-up, real life Bart Simpson, delivering a steady stream of customized imagery laden with strong socio-political undertones, adolescent boy humor, subversive pop-culture savvy, and Dali meets Disney technique. Dedicated to finding the sublime in the everyday and breaking the didactic approach to art and life, Rom has offered up an alternative universe where nothing is sacred, everything is subverted, and thereís always room for a little good-natured fun.

Quik

Deurne 30-10- 2004
Tentoonstelling 14.11--19.12- 2004 met werken op papier en schilderijen van Lin Felton.

ZONDAG 14 NOVEMBER VINDT OP HEIKANT 20 OM 14u DE OPNENING PLAATS VAN NIEUWE WERKEN VAN LIN FELTON (QUIK) DOOR DE CURATOR VAN HET GRONINGER MUSEUM STEVEN KOLSTEREN.

OM 14.30u. VINDT DE UITREIKING PLAATS VAN HET BOEK MET WERKEN VAN AARON VAN ERP. DE UITREIKING VINDT PLAATS DOOR DE KUNSTKRITIKUS ROB SMOLDERS.

LIN FELTON schrijft mij n.a.v. zijn nieuwste schilderijen, waarvan ik u als bijlage een werk toestuur, het volgende: “ These newest works once again reflect the unbridled freedom I maintain here in Holland as an artist. The culturally diverse and radically progressive nature of the Eurpean art community has once again fostered and laid a new platformlike foundation for my recent expressions. No longer am I trapped, confined nor manacled by the chains bound to the New York graffiti culture. I create a furious calamity when I paint, yet this fury is my voice……my freedom”.

Lin Felton is een begenadigd kunstenaar die in staat is zijn innerlijke gevoelens, gedragen door zijn geschiedenis, in een veelheid aan expressies tot uiting te brengen. Felton beschikt over humor, zelfspot, intense verlangens en noodzakelijkheid om vorm te geven aan een door het leven van de zwarte cultuur in de Verenigde Staten gevormde ziel. Felton’s tekeningen zijn aantekeningen van zijn ziel en meestal komen snel tot stand. Collectioneurs die schilderijen van Felton verzamelen raad ik ook altijd aan zijn tekeningen te verzamelen. Deze tekeningen zijn voorafspiegelingen van wat in zijn meer gedragen schilderijen tot uiting komt. Felton schildert en tekent over grote verlangens, liefde, leven en dood, lijden, onrecht en maatschappijkritiek als de eeuwig terugkerende motieven zoals we die bij alle grote kunstenaars aantreffen.

Behalve Schoots galerie is nu ook een top galerie in Duitsland in het werk van Felton geïnteresseerd. Hierover zal ik u op de hoogte blijven houden.

Graag verneem ik van u i.v.m. de te verwachten grote opkomst of u aanwezig kunt zijn.

PARTS AND LABOR

from NY – new works by: AJ Fosik * Monster Project * kgbe RotGut

Artists' Reception: First Frday November 5th, 8 p.m. 'til late

Music by: DJ Aidan
Admission: free

AJ Fosik is originally from Detroit, now hailing from Brooklyn. He combines images and iconography carefully collected and scavenged from past traditions both real and fabricated which are interpreted and woven together to create a trenchant body of work that is equal parts signage, folly and hard luck story.

Monster Project looks to give a face to the cannibalism of urban life, a face to that which is always eating itself, a face to that which is our Cities. Monster Project seeks to highlight the unnoticed, to find the forgotten. Monster Project is about pointing out what is already here around us with the hope that it may encourage the act of looking around. Monster Project looks to inspire the act of taking a moment to stop and to see again. Monster Project is about noticing the beauty that naturally happens in these places we call City.

Over the past four years, the Monster Project team has created site-specific installations focusing on forgotten corners. Often requiring extensive planning and late night execution, each piece becomes a story, each installation and adventure. No two are exactly the same, as no two locations are ever identical. Conceived in Providence, Rhode Island in November of 2000, Monsters have feasted on Providence, Boston, New York and Rome, Italy.

kgbe Rotgut has become a prominent figure in the illegal street art movement in NY over the past couple of years. Much like his work on the street, the pieces in this show are inspired by and use materials found in the blighted urban areas of North American cities. His newest series of paintings and sculptures blend the convoluted complexity of 19th century maps of America with the raw beauty of rusted metal and chipped paint. Obscure vestiges of our nation’s sordid past are constructed in new ways to form a unique visual experience.

Public space is ours, the people who live, work, and play in it; and accordingly we should reclaim it with our culture, with our creativity, and with autonomy. It has become common to see wheatpaste, graffiti, and protest banners, but also there is a variety of other projects which have taken over the urban enviroment.

The Dumpster Hub will remind people of street artists' props as well as serve as walls for presentation. We will set up a  convergence in  Houston  for 48 hours of non-stop occupation, intervention, recreation, and re-invention of public space away from the Project Row Houses Campus. We hope to provide a center of operations, establish a hub from which projects will radiate out across Houston.

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. As such we welcome submissions from artists and non-artists alike

Participants will present their documentation of their projects on Tri-fold boards (like the ones from Science Fair) and possibly disseminate propaganda or art to other participants. This is to encourage and support a community of public space reclaimers and the projects that exist there,

A schedule of events will be presented including specified discussions on public space, skillshares, and demonstrations of techniques. We hope to set up documentation crews, propaganda crews, art crews, to roam the city and  bring back their energy. We are hoping participants will bring these guidelines into the Hub (proposals should have one or more of these points in mind):

1) The project is specifically geared towards reclaiming space in the Houston Area (we will try to assist, but participants must work out the details of their spatial reclamations). Site-specificity (e.g. - the Metro Rail at Main and Alabama) 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 "Hub" 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 "Hub", or may use the headquarters as a meeting place/laboratory.

4) All projects will be video-documented or photographed and screened on monitors at the "Hub". 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.

Deadline is the opening: It will be November 13-14 at Project Row Houses in Houston's 3rd Ward.

Lost In _ _ _ _ _

4f200410x.jpg

Opening October 23rd. 6-9pm

4-F is pleased to present Lost In _ _ _ _ _, a show that gathers the work of two Los Angeles based painters, Christofer Chin (Tofer) and Amir H. Fallah.

Although disparate in their painting techniques each artists’ work demonstrates fantastic environments, which act as a background for elusive activities and narratives filling the foregrounds of the work.

In some of the large and small-scale paintings by Christofer Chin (Tofer) random limbs and faceless, figures seem to disappear and re-surface while eerily moving through murky fog filled landscapes. These scenarios allude to dream states where somnambulists roam undisturbed through anonymous locations. In this body of work Chin is exploring how dreams are utilized as a way to grasp onto the fragments of childhood memories often repressed in the process of maturation.

Amir H. Fallah presents multiple large and small scale paintings where flat, graphic passages are mixed with faux, expressionist swatches of paint; Morrissey lyrics are side by side with detailed patterning; and love notes to female painters, professing his love for their work, are clumsily stacked on top of one another. Fallah’s paintings deal with a more personalized and humorous approach to the often regressive and progressive commute between adolescence and adulthood.

Un esfuerzo del Canal 22 y muy especialmente de Roco (cantante de la Maldita Vecindad) y ekl D.J. AZTK, Aser 7, Gogo, y muchos mas, para retratar en tan solo una hora el vertiginoso y emocionante mundo del graffiti, los bailarines de break, el oficio de D.J y a algunos cantantes de hiphop. Esta obra es valiosa tan solo porque no existe un trabajo previo que sea tan informativo y ameno. La recomendamos ampliamente además de por su calidad en discurso documental, también porque es un documento del que todos formamos parte implicitamente, dicen por allí que un "yo" solo se conforma apartir de un "otros", bueno en este caso, el espectador se funde con los otros para volverse un "nosotros".

Live graffiti installation comes to Seven Dials

stormie_tlgx.jpg system_tlgx.jpg timid_tlgx.jpg tlg8x.jpg tlg2004x.jpg tlg3x.jpg tlg4x.jpg tlg5x.jpg

'Through the Looking Glass' a major installation by World renowned graffiti artists Remi/Rough, Stormie, System and TiMiD will launch in 'London's most fashionable shopping area', Seven Dials, on 25th October. Running until 29th October the installation will allow visitors a rare, first hand insight into the four artist's collaborative work, from the moment they unpack their rucksacks and Powerbooks through to completion of the finished work…. all in just one day.

Using spray paint, photography, sculpture and illustration the interior of the Thomas Neals Centre will be transformed into a live installation, which once completed will be on show to members of the public until Friday 29th October.

The Artists:

Remi/Rough
Rough is one of the most respected and sought after UK artists around today, having put 18 years into developing his now classic, trademark style and the UK scene. He has worked for clients such as Red Bull, Kangol and Nike and exhibited in the UK, Australia, Germany, Belgium, France and the United States to critical acclaim. Rough is also an accomplished graphic designer utilising his graffiti style within his graphic work.

Stormie
Stormie Mills is a visual artist with an extensive experience in the area of large scale public artworks. Over the last 15 years he has worked throughout Western Australia and in both the United States and Europe. His works are primarily focused upon the interpretation of peoples' emotional status detailed in mono-chromatic palettes and coupled with the textural examination of exterior surface.

System
It's the usual story - young, listening to Hip Hop, breakdancing and reading comics. After seeing 'Style Wars' and being convinced by Stormboy to go 'painting', he never looked back. In 1989 he hooked up with a bunch of like-minded individuals and formed the Ikonoklast Movement, the most unique crew in the UK, who influence and piss off people in equal measure. System's work has been seen on walls, T-shirts, and record covers as well as in fonts, logo designs and computer games.

TiMiD
Timid is one of the most innovative photographers in London, having sold his wares to countless trendy and underground magazines, not to mention his prized collection of photographs of New York forward thinkers forward-thinking Anti Pop Consortium. He has also had countless exhibitions and put the 'Rigidmouth' book together with his long time friend and collaborator Rough. He describes his style of photography as accidentally abstract and can be found near tall buildings with an ancient Konica admiring the view.

CASAnova präsentiert: Wri(o)te!

wriote7-kleiner2004x.jpg

Das Einbrechen einer Subversion der Zeichen in die geordnete Geometrie des städtischen Raums - Omnipräsenz einer mal ernsten, mal ironischen Gegenwartskunst der Strasse jenseits von Eigentumstiteln und musealem Charakter.

Der Abend öffnet einen filmischen Einblick in die culture interdit der Graffitiszene. Während der Nacht verwandeln sich Kölner Strassen in ein grosses Atelier in dem der städtische Raum immer und immer wieder neu kartographiert wird um während des Tages in eine umstrittene Galerie zu transformieren. Farbrebellen ist die Preview-Version einer demnächst auf ARTE laufenden Dokumentation über die Umtriebe der Kölner Graffitiszene und ihrer Gegner. Die zentrale Frage des Films ist dabei: Wem gehört die Stadt?

Mit Orbitanor und Samedi&Shango sind zwei kurze Animationsfilme des Kölner Filmemachers und Graffitikünstlers Christoph Dunkel am Start. Der Videokünstler Hannes Aurand präsentiert eine Kollage Kölner Tags und führt damit in die nahezu kalligraphische Ästhetik des Taggen ein.

VESSEL Gallery
120 Norman Avenue (Take the G to Nassau Street)
Brooklyn, NY 11222

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8th, 7PM-11PM

MASH-UP is an inspired collection of new work from emerging artists working to challenge the techniques and forms of traditional mediums. In a hostile world that demands constant evolution, these artists offer a bold new perspective on creating and interacting with visual statements by calling into question the constraints that dictate the art world. Through a wide collection of work drawing from multiple mediums, one begins to see more commonalities than differences; suddenly, a video composite becomes a moving painting, aerosol artists become this generation's historians.

VESSEL Gallery is a fresh urban gallery and retail space seeking to inspire and progress the work of creatively ambitious, emerging talent. Located in the heart of industrial Brooklyn, the gallery is a malleable receptacle for the artistic visions of a new generation unafraid of exploding the boundaries of high and low, old and new. A collaborative endeavor with Mathmatiks Lifestyle and Design, the space radically redefines the retail experience by exploring the multiplicity of artistic mediums within an urban consumer outlet.

S.F. REPRESENT: A STREET ART CELEBRATION: THE LIBERATION OF EXPRESSION

FOR THE PEOPLE

A study into the global, contemporary street art movement, celebrating the cause and freedom of limitless artistic expression, ""for the people" is being created by a coalition of street artists, inviting the community to share an in-depth analysis of this culture's meaning(s), progressions, and digressions. This will be a legal event with progress in mind and a celebration for the street artists and our local communities. We are street artists trying to independently reclaim the street art movement for the people.

"For the People" will be moving the street indoors for a weekend and inviting the street art loving community to view works of art from an international array of street artists. This promises to be the biggest underground street art celebration on the west coast in years!

This whitewall gallery art exhibition will be held at:

Crucible Steel Gallery
CELLspace, 2050 Bryant St., @ 18th St. SF, CA
Opening Night: Thursday Oct. 7 2004 at 7pm
bands, dj'"s, live painting and special guests included
Show will include a series of events, (murals, etc) over 3 days: Oct 7th, 8th and 9th
(Keep an eye out for more updates on www.ecosystem.org, www.woostercollective.com, www.fecalface.com, www.stencilarchive.org, www.stencilrevolution.com, and www.stickernation.net)

"For the People" was created by, and is represented by: Empte Eyes, in affiliation with stencilarchive.org and God Bless Graffiti Coalition. This event is an attempt to speak out against the Big Buff of 2003, benefit the upcoming street art documentary "Negative Spaces" and to benefit local graffiti artist's legal fees, who are currently facing felony charges in S.F. California judges tell us that this group of graffiti artists are classified as a gang and can be arrested under gang related charges for art related crimes. Crews have been followed, investigated, and arrested for public writing.

Pornograffiti

terratagq_kanji_2x.jpg terratag_1x.jpg

Terratag Presents:

PORNOGRAFFITI - The Joy of Text.

Terratag takes the spirit of Japan and fucks it up, twisting Japanese themes into a unique graphic vocabulary. Mutating and originating a truly innovative Anglo-Japanese hybrid.

Until now, graffiti art has been Hip-Hop based, only using the western alphabet. I have turned my back on both, adding a new dialect to the genre of contemporary graffik art.

Primarily a showcase of typographic experimentation, fun and mayhem, Pornograffiti is an inspired mix of Porno, Wild Style Graffiti, Tagging, Manga, Samurai B-Boys and Tattooed Japanese B-Girls.

Pornograffiti will run from September 6th to October 31st at the Notting Hill Arts Club.

Opening: Friday, August 20, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Exhibition dates: August 21 - October 31, 2004

Basekamp (Philadelphia); Casco Projects (Utrecht); Espacio La Culpable (Lima); God Bless Graffiti Coalition, Inc. (Chicago); P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E.

spacemakers is about wedging one's ideas and programs into places or spaces one doesn't have, working creatively around a set of preexisting conditions, and turning limitations into advantages. There are countless project rooms, artist groups, and collectives who are implementing influential projects and programs outside institutional frameworks and with little money or physical space. The exhibition focuses on this globally expanding "do-it-yourself" ethos by presenting an international cross-section of methods and strategies.

During the exhibition, a collection of documentary footage on and about other spacemakers will be presented in the video room located in our basement. The diverse collection of material is divided into three categories, "Making Space," "Invading Space," and "Media Space," and demonstrates further strategies for creating free space. The program was researched and curated especially for the spacemakers exhibition by Brett Bloom, Temporary Services, and Chicago-based independent scholar, Ava Bromberg. Installations by God Bless Graffiti Coalition, Rok2, and Sat1.

Between Art and Life: The Contemporary Painting and Sculpture Collection

Ongoing Exhibition with Twist

In 1961 Robert Rauschenberg said, "Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made. (I try to act in that gap between the two.)"

This new presentation of the SFMOMA collection is organized around this philosophy. With works from the past five decades, the exhibition emphasizes special concentrations within SFMOMA's holdings and celebrates the achievements of individual artists with several large-scale installations and multiple-work presentations, many of which the Museum has never shown. Featured artists include Louise Bourgeois, Robert Gober, Eva Hesse, Anish Kapoor, Sherrie Levine, Brice Marden, Gordon Matta-Clark, Barry McGee, Bruce Nauman, Robert Rauschenberg, and Kara Walker.

Beautiful Losers is an exhibition of art and design that explores 30 years worth of work by a diverse group of visual artists that have emerged from aspects of the street culture loosely organized around the subcultures of skateboarding, graffiti, punk, and hip-hop. The exhibit includes painting, sculpture, and photography, as well as film, video, and product design by these individuals, among others.

To complement this material, the exhibition will also offer an environmental soundscape that traces the relationship between these subcultures and various genres of popular music, compiled by former professional skateboarder and musician Tommy Guerrero; a selection of ephemeral materials (album covers, skateboard decks, toys, zines, etc.) produced in or related to this milieu; and a film and video program to be screened within the exhibition itself.

The exhibition is being organized in collaboration with its founders Christian Strike and Aaron Rose of Iconoclast; the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati; and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco . The San Francisco Opening isJuly 16-17, 2004 . A fully illustrated 272-page book published by Iconoclast and distributed by D.A.P. will be available.

DOMAexhibition

DOMAzakkaNY2x.jpg

at ZAKKA. 147 Grand St. New York, NY.

DOMA has just finished a process of more than two years of work, creating a crazy World full of parody and acid characters under the power of "Roni", a "sketchy clown". "Roni World" is the name of this project that was born as a criticism towards the world situation and the argentine crisis of 2001. This project includes a website, art installations, videos, street campaigns, stencils, a book, dolls, scale models, posters and songs. This exhibition at Zakka is a handpicked selection of different series of pieces from this interesting project.

DOMA are Mariano Barbieri / Julian Pablo Manzelli / Matias Vigliano / Orilo Blandini.

They are located in Buenos Aires, Argentina and also in Miami, USA.

International Doodlebug Day #7

Want to paint side by side with Miss Van? The London Police? The illustrious Mark Wigan? Ah, yeah. We know you do. And better yet, the poscas, acrylics and spray cans are on us.

We've got 45+ mischief-making artists from around the world descending on London and Manchester to rock the double-city detonation of the IDD annual festival of live and public art.

In Manc-town, our launch pad is the Cornerhouse, where our doodlebugs will be tossing nu-world characters onto the walls of the bar and the café. Meanwhile our vinyl-heads will throw up their own wall of sound. That's right, toons and tunes.

We'll also be bussing a team of artists to London's Vibe Bar (Truman Brewery) for a simultaneous launch as a warm-up to this year's Brick Lane Festival.

1-6pm, Saturday 4 Sept 2004.

Cornerhouse, Oxford Street, Manchester

Vibe Bar/Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London

If you're in your teens you can also get your sketchbooks looked at by Wigan himself during a free master class.

Now, you might have some questions, you might need some assistance or you might just be bored and lonely. So here's our contax:

CPOP Detroit presents

"Thoughtcrimes & Misdemeanors" New paintings by BASK

bask_front2004cpopx.jpg

Opening reception Saturday, September 4th, 7pm-11pm Exhibition will run until September 26th

In his third go-round with C Pop, the Czech-born painter Bask unveils his newest work in an exhibit entitled ,"Thoughtcrimes and Misdemeanors". Three years as a resident of Detroit-by way of Prague via St. Petersburg, Florida, has influenced and imbued his latest work with a distinctly Detroit flavor . Bask's Post-Pop cautionary scenario's mine the secrets within banality , peeling away the layers of the media's psychic wallpaper and artifice ,exposing the symbols which we call icons, revealing a sinister manipulative element. Bask's world is a place where product consumerism and social conformity vie for the same interest- our short-attention spans as they perpetrate Thoughtrimes and Misdemeanors.

Dachkantine, Toni-Areal, Zürich Switzerland

Since 2001 WORD Magazine Switzerland has provided a unique showcase for a generation of young artists rooted in urban street culture. With the WORDLESS exhibition this platform will be broadened and allow artists to show their authentic work in painting, photography, graphic design and film to a live audience.

The works of legends such as Loomit and Martha Cooper, and internationally acknowledged artists, including +41, Ata 'Toast' Bozaci, Büro Destruct, Casarramona, Flying Fortress, Francois Chalet, Hansi Herbig, Jeremy Fish, Maurice Haas, Nico Krebs & Taiyo Onorato, Raffinerie, Steff Plaetz and Will Barras will be shown during this three day event. Many of the featured artists began their careers as skateboarders or graffiti writers drawing their inspiration from the streets and creating a new art form, Streetart.

WORDLESS is the first exhibition in Switzerland to bring together Swiss and international street artists under one roof. The show will also include a wide range of ephemera through which many of these young artists make a living.

WORDLESS will host the book launch of New York photography legend Martha Cooper with her new publication 'Hip Hop Files'. Performances by Mocky with his new Album 'Are+Be', a musical journey along songs packed with funny rap punch lines, and the Platik Jugganots juggling five turntables at the time, supported by local DJs such as Alex Dallas, Rolexx & Reedo will frame the WORDLESS soundtrack. With live art and music fusion WORDLESS creates a fresh environment to experience Streetart. WORDLESS is Streetart, an original life style with a new outlook on the world.

A limited edition series of WORDLESS Posters designed by Toast, Büro Destruct, Flying Fortress, Jeremy Fish and Raffinerie will soon cover your neighborhood billboards.

WORDLESS is a co-production of WORD Magazine, Raffinerie, Dachkantine, Lozzaphoto and Broad Pictures, sponsored by Aroma, Burton, Carhartt, Eastpak, Gravis, Habegger, Nike, Santa Cruz, Seed, the Gloss and Migros Kulturprozent.

L.A. Center for Digital Art presents "SNAP TO GRID"

SNAP TO GRID

Opening Reception Thursday September 9, 7-9pm

Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its "Open Call" exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown.

The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980's) where every work submitted is exhibited.

The usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge.

The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where culture belongs to the "mobblogers" around the globe. From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of "Snap to Grid" becomes an aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of its own.

Friday, August 6th, 2004 from 6 pm - 10 pm.

The ambitious and extensive collection of Los Angelesí finest urban underground photographers will feature approximately 95 photographs by 24 artists whose inspiration comes from the depths of the subliminal cultural statement the city of Los Angeles exudes.

The purpose of the exhibit stands to reveal all that is typically unknown - the "alternative" aspect of L.A. while offering a glimpse into the real world of these L.A. based artists. Undocumented Ground confronts and counters the stereotypical images of L.A. as "Hollywood glitz and glamour."

* Call for participation

A CALL TO ARTISTS!!!!!!!!

AREA*5 Gallery in Missoula, MT of all places, is throwing it's first annual graffiti art show. As far as we know nothing like this has ever been done in Montana!

The working title is : "EXHIBIT A5; Aerosol Terrorism in America". The descriptive subitle on press releases will be: A cross section of intercepted communiques, murals and portable bombs by an international cell of grafitti "terrorist" artists. We are playing with the language of the whole terrorist paranoia bullshit that the media has been running with since 9-11.

The point of this show is to educate the general populace on the positivity of graf culture and to give Writers an opportunity to make some statirical/political commentary on the state of global media politics. Part of the installation will include material on the history of graffiti art in times of political and social strife (hopefully including that great clip from The Life of Brian) with some commentary from academic realms as well as from graf artists themselves.

PHOTOS (ANYMOUS OF COURSE, WHEN NECESSARY!) OF STREET/AND GALLERY PIECES WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

It would be terrific if we could get artists that reside on opposite sides of political and geographic walls to participate in this show, which will be emphasizing communication and peace. For instance, artists from: Palestine and Israel; Northern and Southern Ireland; North and South of the U.S./ Mexico border; India and Pakistan, etc. The political stuff is not mandatory, but it would be timely.

Mainly we just want to put on a good graf/art show. We plan on getting some serious promo to major art publications as well as some underground sources.

Csll Momma Oven or Victor at: 406-721-1416.

PLEASE E-MAIL PHOTOS OF YOUR WORK FIRST TO: veganheidi@hotmail.com If you plan to travel to Montana for the show, involvement with murals must be prearranged with gallery.

We are requesting that artists in "Exhibit A-5" send old LPs and bottles with pieces on them.

Also the work that is sent will be considered donations to this gallery as it is a international community art/music resource and performance center, run entirely by volunteers. Our goal is to promote progressive social education and cultural pluralism in both, a region and country that so very badly need it. We are in the process of aquiring our offical non-profit status. This show will actually be a fundraiser for that cause.

The show will be opening on Sept. 3rd and closing Sept. 29th for portable pieces. The murals will stay up through Oct. We appologize for the short notice, however, Momma Oven just moved here from San Francisco, and recently brainstormed this idea with Victor Morales, director of AREA*5. We look forward to hearing from all of you!

Swift Gallery @ the Brewery
Artist Reception: July 31st 7pm-10pm

Swift Gallery is proud the present the first solo exhibition by Canadian artist Bob Partington. Described by the New York Times as "the feeling of the East Village in the 90's", Bob Partington will present his Briefcase Tagging device and the Spray Paint Cannon. The first is a business suitcase transformed into a graffiti-tagging tool that allows the user to safely tag the floor beneath it by triggering a simple switch. His latest work, "The Spray Paint Cannon", has been making waves in the design and graffiti worlds as well as the art world. Two years in the making, this paint gun offers its user the ultimate in controlled spray-bombing.

Swift Gallery is an artist-run non-profit exhibition and performance space for provocative art and culture, located at the Brewery Complex in downtown Los Angeles. There will be a music event night to follow on August 14th.

ARTS CAREER VINE: A PUBLIC ART INTERNSHIP

July 26- August 13, 2004
August 16- Sept 3, 2004

Sponsored by ARTScorpsLA

ARTScorpsLA is looking for teens (ages 13-18 or high schoolers) to participate in its arts internship.

Two internships will operate out of ARTScorpsLA's two community parks. During the internship, students will work with instructors to develop their artistic skill, gain hands on experience and knowledge about urban art and graffiti and how it is used to enhance public space and build community.

The show will include paintings, illustrations, conceptual design, and sculptures that embody the artist’s departure from the public canvas to private interpretation.

New works by recent San Francisco transplant Jeben Berg and area local Volta and by visiting SF Bay Area based artists, Robert Bowen, Alex Pardee, and the artists publicly known as Quake, Defie, Jake One, Renos, and Gena."

Autograf

New York City’s Graffiti Writers

autograf_invite12004parix.jpg

Photographs by Peter Sutherland

Text by REVS

A controversial art form and provocative cultural phenomenon, graffiti has inestimably influenced our entire environment—from music and fashion to advertising, architecture, and graphic arts. Yet it is an illegal activity, which makes its practitioners wanted criminals. Motivated by a desire for self-expression and recognition, the act of marking one’s territory is done at the risk of severe consequences including fines and jail time. Graffiti writers are outlaws, unknown artists whose faces are known only to their peers. Treated as criminals by the law and dismissed as artists by the establishment, writers are perceived as either alluring anti-heroes or loathsome vandals, and usually remain anonymous to their audience. But not to photographer Peter Sutherland.

With an eye for style, Sutherland captures all of the gritty glory and glamour of the graffiti world and its warriors. Collected for the first time in Autograf: New York City’s Graffiti Writers, Sutherland presents a never-before-seen chronicle of the people and places that populate New York’s famed graff scene. Featuring old-school legends FUTURA, STAY HIGH 149, LADY PINK and DOZE, as well as COPE 2, KAWS, CYCLE, CLAW, VFR, KR, EARSNOT, SERF, NATO, NET, RATE, SACER, UFO, and DSENSE, among many others, each one of the fifty-three portraits is authentically tagged by the individual writers using the same paint markers that brought them fame. Complemented by over fifty landscape photographs and featuring handwritten text by legendary recluse REVS, Autograf is the only book to showcase New York City’s graffiti scene as it was created and defined by some of the most prolific artists of our time.

summer_of_peace2004x.jpg summer_of_peaceb2004x.jpg

WHERE: LATINO COMMUNITY CENTER 807 South 14th Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

WHEN: Friday July 30th & Saturday July 31st, 2004

Milwaukee, WI – The Latino Community Center (LCC) is hosting the Summer of Peace Block Party & the First Annual Brew City B-Boy Battle on July 30th & 31st. This event is in collaboration with Gorilla Promotion's "Summer of Peace Youth Rally" July 22nd in Kilbourn Park (for more info contact Gorilla Promotions 414-899-1949). During this event the LCC will teach Milwaukee's local youth, through artist exhibition, the importance of the five elements of the Hip Hop culture: B-Boying/Break Dancing, Emceeing, DJ'ing, Graffiti/Aerosol Art, & Knowledge/Education.

On Friday July 30th the LCC's Summer of Peace Block Party will feature a B-Boy battle, a DJ showcase & an open mic. Saturday July 31st a Graffiti Exhibition sponsored by Montana Colors and ArtPrimo.com will give some of the Midwest's most creative aerosol artists a chance to exhibit their painting skills. Milwaukee's hottest B-Boy crew, Motion Disorderz, will host a Break Dancing workshop. Spontaneous will host a DJ workshop.

California's Tribal Gear and Mear One Kaotik Gear, Milwaukee's own UPROC, Kohl's Department Store, local designer Darita Berry's "Nappy", Showtime Wild Image, Burlington Coat Factory & Vici Beauty School will sponsor the "Back 2 Skool" Fashion Show. Youth models of the LCC will model the latest in urban fashion for the fashion show. The event concludes Saturday with a cookout at the Latino Community Center.

Throughout both days of the Summer of Peace Block Party local Hip Hop activists will be discussing the importance of the Hip Hop culture and why it is important for a community center like the LCC to promote and teach the Hip Hop culture to our urban youth in its intended form. We will also discuss why we incorporate the Hip Hop culture as a tool to reach, teach, and build foundations for our youth and community.

For more information please feel free to contact the Latino Community Center at 414-384-8140 or info@latinocommunitycenter.com.

The Latino Community Center cultivates & supports a solid foundation for social change on Milwaukee's near South Side in order to strengthen the local community and the family structures within. We provide a supervised & safe place where young people & adults are served based on their individual aspirations, problems or needs & encourage academic & personal success. Our mission is realized through a collaborative effort of organizations utilizing current technology & selected activities.

Presents a rare and exclusive exhibition of contemporary illustration and urban typography

@ The Slug and Lettuce, York from July 4th-27th 2004

This month will see Part 2 (Keith Hopewell), one of the UK's foremost spray-can artists, present to the public an exhibition of entirely new works. Born 1972, the artist's spray-can work in the early nineties elevated street art to its place proper as a distinguished art form, Hopewell's signature photorealistic images of melded, hybrid forms, outlandish typography and electric colour capturing both the eye and viscera.

Part 2, recording artist with Big Dada/Ninja Tune, has produced two critically acclaimed albums as New Flesh and in his own right has worked in conjunction with and re-mixed artists such as Killah Priest, Saul Williams, Roots Manuva, Serge Gainsbourg, Blackalicious and the pioneering Rammellzee.

A further chance to see the artist's work - to see the artist's at work - will be the 3DOM Festival at Sheffield's Don Valley Glass Bowl. Part 2 will be painting live on stage with New York's Mural Kings on Saturday 31st July.

Aerosol Warfare-Weapon Inspections

MergeWeapon2x.jpg WeaponInspectionFlyerx.jpg

Sat, July 3rd *Opening reception from 6pm to 10pm
McCaig Welles Gallery
129 Roebling Street
Suite B
Brooklyn, NY 1121

Word up, this is GONZO247 from the Aerosol Warfare crew dropping lines not dimes to bring you the latest intelligence from the war front. The AW crew has teamed up with Sneaker Freaker magazine and McCaig Welles Gallery to bring you the following...

Operation: Weapon Inspections

Purpose: To juxtapose fashion contra function. When designers in the fashion industry undertake new and fresh endeavors (hopefully desirable to mainstream youth) the question arises - 'Should the article of clothing be more fashionable or functional?' Unfortunately, and inevitably, the decision is made, the answer is given and the designs are made at the expense of one or the other. Aerosol Warfare's Weapon Inspections hopes to blur the line between fashion and function so in the end both are indistinguishable within a particular article of clothing. We hope, with this show, to redefine that fine line so that an entirely new breed of Converse Weapons (as contemporary art) takes the scene by storm. Is it fashion, or is it art?

Mission: Weapon Inspections challenges the individual artist by giving them a particular and specific canvas to work on (i.e. the Weapon). What new breed of art does a proposition and a show like Weapon Inspections bring about? While most artists are stubbornly accustomed to working on their personal mediums - be it canvas, metal, walls or sculptures - using the Weapon as a neo-canvas forces them to think outside the box. How many different directions can the Weapon and the art go? How does each artist interpret the Weapon, its form and layout and use it in conjunction with their own designs to create art? By pushing the envelope with the Converse Weapon, Aerosol Warfare hopes to successfully conceive an entirely different form of art that would have otherwise never been born and bring the Weapon to new audience with higher visibility.

Forecast: Aerosol Warfare (through its Weapon Inspections) plans to reemphasize the connection between hip-hop culture, - which is currently becoming a measure for all that is mainstream - and style. With earlier generations, when hip-hop was first developing, there was a strong emphasis on what shoe a person wore. It was the shoe that measured how mainstream a person was. How cool they were, or how 'wack' they were. Aerosol Warfare is placing the Weapon back into the hip-hop mainstream culture.

West One

solo U.S. debut

Anti-Graff

Exhibiting a collection of paintings that explore "the secret life of letters."

Influenced by early abstract expressionists and the action painters of the 1950's, this collection features work entirely in black and white and uses raw canvas, oil sticks, gesso, latex, charcoal, and a host of other mediums to create large-scale abstract paintings that preserve only the thread of the letter form commonly seen in graffiti.

Along with a small group of other New York based artists West remains at the forefront of the 'Post- graffiti' movement, exploring new realms and presenting new challenges to the regimented folk art of graffiti.

West's recent exhibitions have included the 'Miami Vices' exhibition during Art Basel in Miami, the 'Hive Sound System' show at Lump Gallery in N.C., the Altoids ‘Wall of Fame’ project in Brooklyn, and ‘Experimental Surf Shop’ at the Dyezu Space in Tokyo, Japan. West frequently travels to Japan where his designer clothing brand, And Suns, is sold. He also co-founded PNB Nation, an urban market clothing line in 1992. West currently lives and works in New York City.

Hall of Fame - 25th Anniversary

Founded in 1980 by a man known by friends and neighbors as "Sting Ray" in conjunction with renowned artists Dez, Chain 3, Due 2, Vulcan, Deuse, Part, Daze, Skeme, Kippy, Kase 2, Noc, Butch, and Kool 131, the Hall of Fame was a community space donated to young inner-city artists, often with no formal training, so that they'd have a forum to showcase their talents. Over the years the Hall of Fame has steadily grown into a huge annual gathering that now attracts aerosol artists from around the world with hopes of coming to New York and having the opportunity to paint with old and new generations of aerosol masters, as well as become a part of the legacy the Hall of Fame represents.

This year marks the Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary, and once again New York City's Junior High School 113 is officially hosting the event. Jointly organized for the second consecutive year by New York based artists Joey TDS, Doc TC-5, and Streets Are Saying Things this year's Hall of Fame is expected to once again draw aerosol artists from far and wide together for two straight days of painting. Past years have seen masterpieces by artists such as TATS Cru, Part, FC Crew, Futura 2000, Crash, Daze, Sharp, Delta 2, T-Kid, Seen, Erni, Cope 2 and many more...

Come witness graffiti history in the making on June 26th & 27th, 2004!

New York City Junior High School 113 is located on the corner of 106 Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan (Spanish Harlem, NY) To get there by train, take the 6 to the 110th Street stop, and walk 3 blocks North to 106 Street and Park Ave. MTA map of the 6 line

THE OPENING of Hotel des Art

The hotel des art opens with an absolutely stellar solo show by Sandro Tchikovani (Misk One, BA) in June.

The opening features DOZENS of wonderful new installation pieces that Sandro created specifically for the hotel. The lobby, the hallways, and even the rooms are filled with NEW ART by one of San Francisco's top up-and-coming young artists.

Sandro's work has been shown internationally, and his recent art shows in Belgium, Tokyo, and New York have received a great deal of attention + critical acclaim. It is about time that he gets some recognition in his hometown of San Francisco!

The opening events will benefit Visual Aid, a decidedly top-notch local non-profit organization that encourages artists with life threatening illnesses to continue their creative work.

Visual Aid helps produce, present, and preserve the work of professional artists whose careers are challenged because of a life-threatening illness. The organization serves professional artists from the Bay Area, providing artists with direct services - from art supplies to exhibitions + career development.

Sandro has created a couple of new works that he has kindly donated to Visual Aid for a silent auction at the opening, and ALL the proceeds will benefit this great organization. In addition, a portion of EVERY piece of art sold for the duration of the show will go directly to Visual Aid.

to request an invitation to the opening of the hotel des arts, kindly email: ArtHotel@STARTsoma.com

ELEMENTAL by Ala Ebtekar

Opening Reception: Wednesday June 16, 6 - 9 PM

Ala Ebtekar explores the merging of styles from two different cultural traditions spanning opposite ends of the world and separated by centuries - Iranian coffee house culture and hip-hop culture. Seemingly disconnected, both populous traditions are grounded in providing common space for sharing history, news, and information, reflecting the lives of people who are often marginalized, and responding critically to the world. Ebtekar creates an environment where cultures and styles fuse, providing a visual crossroads where contemporary events meet mythology.

PROTEST TO DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE END TO THE INVESTIGATION OF STEVE KURTZ AND THE CRITICAL ART ENSEMBLE

[WHY: Steve Kurtz was arrested for art supplies (which in his case are technical because he works with ideas about biotechnology) under the Patriot Act.

5th Dimension Presents

Out of Reach: London

Global Sneaker Subculture’s Rarest Shoes to be Displayed in U.K. Exhibition

London, U.K. (May 26, 2004) - 5th Dimension - http://www.5th-Dimension.info - the online source for need-to-know information on global street-wear and sneaker subculture, is launching its first ever exhibition in the UK. ‘Out of Reach: London’ will take place at Shoreditch’s M+R, 15A Kingsland Road, London E2 8AA, from the 11th-13th of June.

‘Out of Reach: London’ will be a globally inspired sneaker exhibition that displays some of the world’s rarest and most coveted collectable footwear, including unseen and unreleased Nike Dunk SB production samples, co-branded special make-ups and artist collaborations. Shoes will be displayed amongst works from renowned and up-and-coming artists from around the globe - creators who are either entrenched in the sneaker subculture themselves or whose work represents the urban collective from which it emerged. In addition, visitors will have the chance to view new models from boutique sneaker brand JB Classics and custom designs from San Francisco graffiti artist Jor One.

5th Dimension chose London as the inaugural location for ‘Out of Reach’ because the city is one of the most dynamic yet most overlooked locations when it comes to promoting the depth of its sneaker culture. In presenting ‘Out of Reach: London,’ 5th Dimension aims to connect and celebrate London’s dynamic sneaker scene by showcasing some of the subcultures most prized rarities - many of which have never been seen publicly on British soil. ‘Out of Reach: London’ will also provide local and international sneaker/fashion brands, retailers, and media the opportunity to interact with their supporters from the UK and across Europe.

Featured Artists and Designers:

From San Francisco, USA: Greg pnut Galinsky, Marlo Flores, JB, Jor One, Diet
From London, UK: Warren Holder, Han Lee
From Japan: Yuichi Isaka, MSGR, Chocolate Soul
From New York City, USA: Stab

The Graffiti Artist

Seattle Film Festival

from THE INARTICULATE SPEECH OF THE HEART - By TOM SPANBAUER

James Bolton’s The Graffiti Artist is a surprisingly controversial film. Set in present day Seattle and Portland, the main character, Nick, is a seventeen year old skateboarder whose can of spray paint is his way to live his life. Nick is out to destroy the system by making art. In order to make art, Nick must steal cans of paint, shoplift to eat, live without money and a home. The only objects in his life besides his cans of spray-paint, are his skateboard and his marijuana pipe. After the camera follows Nick through a series of lonely gray days—Bolton’s camera gives us haunting images of loneliness and isolation--one day, Nick meets another boy, Jesse. He asks Jesse, "Do you write?" And with that, Nick finds a friend, if only for a few days, to share his life. And his body. After all, Nick is an artist, out to try something new, out to destroy the system. The sex scene is disarming and excruciatingly tender.

From another online review:
"THE GRAFFITI ARTIST (U.S.): This quietly modest film offers a portrait of the artist as a criminal. Nick, who sprays the word "rupture" across the urban landscapes of Seattle and Portland, roasts stolen corn over a stove and steals paint from hardware stores. Creatively engaged in a world that is his canvas, Nick lives a solitary and word-free existence until he meets Jesse. As the new friends roam and paint the train yards together, Nick's lone-wolf perspective becomes a shared vision. When this leads to sex, Jesse abandons Nick, who battles depressive non-engagement and discovers a deeper sense of self. With a mood greatly enhanced by a droning, hypnotic soundtrack, James Bolton's film not only offers insights into the various ways reality is observed and transformed by the artist, but is also a lesson in how friendship destroys solitude, and how love can destroy friendship. (B.W.) "

"Energetic....authentic-looking glimpse into an exotic world" - Variety

Quality of Life is an independently produced narrative feature film starring Lane Garrison, Brian Burnam, Luis Saguar and Mackenzie Firgens. The film had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival where it won a prestigious "Special Mention" award.

The film tells an authentic and gripping story of two young graffiti writers whose friendship and lives unravel after they get arrested.

Viewers leave the theater debating the controversial ending of the film and also raving about the soundtrack, which features an eclectic mix from the rising stars of hiphop, punk, electronica and indie rock including Andre Nickatina, Death Cab For Cutie, Modest Mouse, Sebadoh, Mr. Lif, Lifesavas, Good Riddance, Amon Tobin, and Built To Spill.

Quality of Life was shot and edited in the Mission District of San Francisco with the support of many in the area's renowned graffiti subculture.

Magma 22 Oldham Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, United Kingdom M1 1JN Saturday 5th June 2004. Sunup till Sundown.

Magma is celebrating the arrival of summer in Manchester with its' fifth live street painting event!

Break out the lemonade, vanilla scoops and flip flops because not one, two, three, four, five but SIX notorious visual artists will be spilling paint on three large scale canvasses outside Magma on Oldham Street starting at 10AM on Saturday 5th June.

Bringing the sunshine from Barcelona come Freaklub, a collective of three, known for drawing their iconic and adorable mascot Aunara throughout Europe's largest cities. Painting alongside them will be the Wet Shame Crew from Bristol, whose subversion of advertising billboards seldom fails to turn heads and raise a smile.

Following previous live paint jobs at Magma by Miss Van, AlexOne, The London Police, Sickboy and most recently Dref, this promises to be the most dramatic and colourful intervention yet!

This event is organised by Doodlebug as part of the International Doodlebug Day art festival in Manchester.

Autograf: New York City’s Graffiti Writers

Photographs by Peter Sutherland

AUTOGRAF2004.jpg

The powerHouse Gallery
68 Charlton Street
between Varick and Hudson Streets, New York City

Featuring old-school legends FUTURA, STAY HIGH 149, LADY PINK and DOZE, as well as COPE 2, KAWS, CYCLE, CLAW, VFRESH, KR, EARSNOT, SERF, NATO, NET, RATE, SACER, UFO, SEMZ, 323, and DSENSE, among many others, each one of the fifty-three portraits is authentically tagged by the individual writers using the same paint markers that brought them fame. Autograf is the only photography exhibition to showcase New York City’s graffiti scene as it was created and defined by some of the most prolific artists of our time.

Autograf: New York City’ Graffiti Writers features 42 four-color and 11 black-and-white 11x14 inch photographs. Although the exhibition prints are not for sale, The powerHouse Gallery will offer made-to-order prints in your choice of 11x14 or 16x20 inch photographs. We offer a full selection of “Un-Autografed” (unsigned by graffiti writers) prints. We are also pleased to announce a special selection of “Autografed” (signed by graffiti writers) prints of LADY PINK, EARSNOT, SERF, MINT, NATO, CLAW, NET, 323, SEMZ, MERZ, and KORN.

Peter Sutherland is a filmmaker and photographer who was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1976 and raised in Colorado. A move to NYC in 1998 prompted his first feature documentary, Pedal, a film about N.Y.C. bike messengers that is currently airing on the Sundance Channel. Sutherland also worked as director of photography on Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator, a documentary about Gator, a famous skateboarder who was convicted of murder in 1991. Directed by Helen Stickler, Stoked premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, and was released theatrically by Palm Pictures in August 2003. Sutherland is a contributing photographer to magazines including i-D, Vice, Tokion, and Nylon and has done commercial photographic work for Nike and Vice Records. He has shown his work at the Rivington Arms gallery and at 255 Elizabeth Space, both in New York. Sutherland lives and works in New York City.

UrbanDream3

The sun is coming back and here we go again with the third Urban Dream Festival, another great event ! This year's festival will take place from 26th to 29th August in Charleroi (Belgium).

UrbanDream has always the same aim that the years before : promoting graffiti and putting art in the streets! The challenge of this year is to paint a mural on the following theme " The bicycle " because Charleroi will host at the same time the third Urban Dream Festival and a bike event « the RAVEL's beautiful bicycle » (1). It will gather together more than 4000 amateur cyclists going for a ride through the city. All the graffiti artists who will be present during the Festival will have to work together to produce a common mural: because the walls are less big than the years before so there'll be less writers so it's more easy that all the writers work together and it's also interesting for you (know new guys, ...). (There are 2 walls : one with the theme : the bicycle and the second the writers will choose it themself)

There are also some changes about the way the artists will be selected. This year it will be up to a jury made up of graffiti artists, Jam organizers and people working in art to select the graffiti artists who will paint during the Festival ! ! Those who will apply will commit themselves to be present during the whole Festival (Please if you cannot be free during the whole Festival, do not to apply). So if you want to try, it is easy. You just have to form a crew of 1 to 4 persons maximum and send a mail to urbandream2@hotmail.com with the e-mail of each crew member taking part in the Festival. You also have to attach 4 fotos of your latest productions (max 150 kb a foto).

Those who want to apply will have to send their applications at the latest on May 20th, 2004. The results will be published at the beginning of June.

Belmont Art Park Meeting

Sunday May 23, 6-8 p.m. ICU Art Gallery 315 Indiana Street Unit C El Segundo, CA 90245 (310) 309-7756 icuart@aol.com Meeting Organizer and Host: Stash Maleski (In Creative Unity -ICU Art)

Location of Meeting 1/2 mile South of LAX, 1 block West of Sepulveda Blvd, 7 blocks South of 105 Freeway and 1 Block North of Grand Ave. (See more detailed directions below)

What Meeting to discuss turning the Belmont Graffiti Yard and Subway Tunnel into an Art Park with legal Graffiti Art Walls. This will be the second meeting.

Location of the Belmont Graffiti Yard and Art Park and Subway Tunnel 1304 W 2nd Street Los Angeles, CA 90026 Located at the intersection of Lucas Ave, W 2nd Street and W 1st Street just North of the 110 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles

History and the Plan The world famous Belmont Graffiti Yard and Tunnel located has been a semi-legal "ÄúHall of Fame"Äù for West Coast Graffiti artists to practice their art for over years. Originally a layup for trains from the City"Äôs first subway and light rail, this yard is located at the entrance to a subway tunnel. With grand views of the downtown LA skyline as a backdrop, artists have developed their artform and expressed themselves to the world at this unique and dramatic historical site. A developer has recently bought the property and plans to build condominiums on the site. We are fighting to maintain this location as on open air public art park with a playing field and walls for the constantly evolving murals. We also hope to preserve the site as a historic location, preserving the memory of Los Angeles"Äô first subway system.

Slide Show and Refreshments Meeting will start with short slide show of Graffiti Pieces from the Belmont Yard. (if you have photos to show on the digital projector, please bring files (JPEG or TIFF) on a Zip Disk or CD. Refreshments

Meeting #1 Update First meeting went very well with a good solid group of graffiti artists, art aficionados and concerned citizens. Many positive and likely scenarios for the preservation of the Belmont Graffiti Yard and Artpark where discussed. For a more in-depth report on the first meeting and an agenda for the second meeting, please send an e-mail to icuart@aol.com with the words Belmont Report in the Subject Heading.

Directions to Meeting Take 105 Freeway South towards El Segundo, Exit Sepulveda Blvd. "ÄúSouth"Äù (Second Sepulveda Exit), Travel South on Sepulveda Blvd for 7 Blocks, Turn Right on Grand Ave and then Right on Indiana Street (first street) and Park. We are on the left side of the street.

From Santa Monica or Venice on the Westside. . . Take Lincoln Blvd South until it turns into Sepulveda Blvd. Continue South on Sepulveda Blvd. past LAX Airport, continue under the 105 Freeway and into El Segundo. Once you pass under the 105 Freeway you travel for 7 blocks, turn right on Grand Ave. and then Right on Indiana Street. We are on the left side.

Control Chaos III

chaos3sydney2004x.jpg

After 2 successful exhibitions in New York & Singapore, Control Chaos is going down under - Sydney, Australia. The title of the exhibition is called Control Chaos III. It is a place influenced by the pugilistic world of 80's Hong Kong TV serial. Using :phunk's own visual vocabulary, the collective renders a dysfunctional/apocalyptic take on the classic tales of good versus evil set in the backdrop of heaven, earth and hell. :phunk has injected their distinctive style of illustration to create a mural. The mural is made up of 12 pieces of custom-designed canvases made from corrugated boxes. The limited edition artworks are individually silkscreened.

Int. Meeting of Styles

moswiesb22004x.jpg MOSwiesb2004x.jpg

08th May 2004, Schlachthof Wiesbaden

After one year of absence the MEETING comes back to where it started years ago with the legendary Wall-Street-Meeting. Eventhough the city has torn down several buildings, we got still a couple of walls with more than 1500squaremeters left. The MOS will start saturday highnoon with funky beats, painting and chilling in the usual MEETING-vibe. At saturday night a fresh party will happen at the factory. Enjoy real Hip-Hop-Flavour and be there.

On the walls: Stohead, Rocket1, Anus, MaClaim, Can2, Poet73, Eso & Kage of GFA-Crew (Germany), Nada, Jia, Muet, Shem, Esprit, Jazi (Switzerland), Peeta, Yama, Joys, Hitnes (Italy), Hogre, Reso, Dran, Corail, Nes (France), San, Most, Okuda, Hanem, Rambo, Seal , Sprays Platinum, PornoStars (Spain), TCF-Crew, AAGH-Crew (England), Cybe, Shane (Poland)

Party starts 21h, costs 5eur, Kreativ-Fabrik
On the mics: Marph, Rasputin MC, N'owl, EST & Blazer, MC Torch feat. Liquid
Elements

Schlachthof Wiesbaden,
Gartenfeldstraße 57, next to main train station.
Spread the word and be there.

Very important: After years of work we achieved a serious discussion about the concept of a cultural park containing walls especially built for Graffiti. This concept is about to be realised. But eventhough, there are some people in our city who wait for troubles that support them with arguments to cut out the walls of the concept. So any illegal action will support the critics and cause risk and damage to the Graffiti-Gallery.

So please respect: NO TAGGING, NO BOMBING OUTSIDE OF THE AREA, NO CLIMBING ON ROOFS, NO PAINTING AT THE TOWER, NO VANDALISING! Please avoid any troubles that might damage our concept.

If you love Graffiti, you will respect.

"The sky's the limit as Local Graffiti Artists take their art 100 ft. above ground"

AeroSOL En El Cielo (aerosol in the sky) is a graffiti artist showcase event that will highlight local graffiti art as a true El Paso art expression and accentuate the collaborative talents high above the city skyline on a spectacular sized billboard (48'x14') posting on Cinco de Mayo.

An art competition governed by local graffiti artisans will select five finalists on April 24th during the Dia de los Ninos, Dia de los Libros festival at Washington Park. The finalists will then create the Cinco de Mayo billboard collage theme and share in a combined aerosol spray painting masterpiece displayed in a prominent city location for El Pasoans to enjoy.

Graffiti art is an age-old art form and many times controversial. The canvass of graffiti artists has ranged from pre-historic cave dwellings to canyon walls, from bridge overpasses, subways and jail cells to public structures - and of course, bathroom stalls. Today, graffiti artists are more apt to use their art form as a way to express cultural realities in localized areas that encourage the artists' colorful exhibits.

El Paso features a thriving scene of graffiti artists who share the passion of their craft. AeroSOL En El Cielo is among the first pro-graffiti exhibits that positively encourages and displays local art talents.

International

A Collection of Work That is...... A broad range of work from different mind states, mediums, methods, and backgrounds. International is John Felix Arnold III, Chris Huban, Takashi Iimura, Yoshitaka Kogure, and Marco Hafid Lopez.

Five emerging artists will have their first show as a collective on May 1st, 2004 in at Zakka Shop and Space in Manhattan, NYC. International's inaugural show will consist of a mixture of print making, painting, and sculpture that creates intuitive commentary on the state of the world. This is the launching pad of International, and the collective truly hopes to express the importance of building positive relationships and ideas with an "International" perspective in this uncompromising, fast paced era. With members migrating from Tokyo, Chicago, New Jersey, and North Carolina, International has been conceived in New York City and comes together to create this show through their love of art, their will to push limits, and their relentless desire to create. The collective has also chosen to build with the New York City Student Initiative for AIDS, who has put on numerous functions and has raised over 20,000 dollars to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. A limited edition run of International T-Shirts will be available for purchase with proceeds going to benefit HIV/AIDS relief in Zambia. The show takes place at Zakka Shop and Space, a unique store/art space that has hosted many cutting edge artists.

Expect Us!

expect_us2004x.jpg

"Expect us!" We are out there...streetart in Zürich

The brutal invasion of the common space, and with it the elimination of the last possibilities for free interaction, have created a couple of strong counter movements.

The streetartists want to reclaim the right to express themselves free in the common space, and they are questioning the commercially controlled reality and the possibilities and offers of the consumeristic society.

Artists are organizing illegal and unathorized communication all over the world, and it is clear that this movement expresses a fundamental unsatisfaction with the existing possibilities. "Expect us" attempts to explain this unsatisfaction, and to present alternatives by showing the works of artists who have chosen to spread their messages through unconventional channels and ask them to explain why.

The danish artist/curator Christian Falsnaes and the austrian artist/organizer Bella Angora are initiators of "Expect us!". Together with the swiss galerists Jean-Claude Freymond-Guth and Esther Eppstein, they have brought the first streetartexhibition in Switzerland to Zürich.

Program :

Saturday, 1. may 2004, 18.00 : Opening of "Expect us!" Exhibition and performances from Anne Bennike (DK), Akim & friends (D), Akay (S) Bella Angora (A), Freaks Gallery (DK) and Straight up (DK) Blauer Saal, Limmatstr. 270, 8005 Zürich

Beautiful Losers

BeautifulLoser2004x.jpg BeautifulLoser2004bx.jpg

An exhibition of multi-media art and design that explores 30 years worth of work by a diverse group of visual artists that have emerged from aspects of the street culture loosely organized around the subcultures of skateboarding, graffiti, punk, and hip-hop. The exhibit includes painting, sculpture, and photography, as well as film, video, and product design by these individuals, among others.

/ Raymond Pettibon / Larry Clark / Jean-Michel Basquiat / Thomas Campbell / Brian Donnelly [KAWS] / Cynthia Connolly / Cheryl Dunn / Todd James [REAS] / Jo Jackson / Shepard Fairey / Ed Templeton / Barry McGee / Ryan McGinley / Tobin Yelland / Pushead / Phil Frost / Neil Blender / Ryan McGinness / Craig R. Stecyk / Stephen Powers [ESPO] / Ari Marcopoulos / Mike Mills / R. Crumb / Geoff McFetridge / Henry Chalfant / Spike Jonze / Glen E. Friedman / Clare E. Rojas / Andy Warhol / Futura / Andy Jenkins / Margaret Kilgallen / Wes Humpston / Rostarr / Keith Haring / Terry Richardson / Harmony Korine / Tommy Guerrero / Evan Hecox / Mark Gonzales / James Jarvis / Chris Johanson

To complement this material, the exhibition will also offer an environmental soundscape that traces the relationship between these subcultures and various genres of popular music, compiled by former professional skateboarder and musician Tommy Guerrero; a selection of ephemeral materials (album covers, skateboard decks, toys, zines, etc.) produced in or related to this milieu; and a film and video program to be screened within the exhibition itself.

The exhibition is being organized in collaboration with its founders Christian Strike and Aaron Rose, of Iconoclast, the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati; and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco. It will open in Cincinnati in March 12-13, 2004 and in San Francisco in July of 2004. A fully illustrated 272-page book published by Iconoclast and distributed by D.A.P. will accompany the exhibition. Made possible by support from Nike, Altoids, and Diesel

Featured Artists will be on hand to sign black books, tee shirts, and special limited edition posters

The artists featured in this event are internationally known, beloved and respected. Their contribution to Hip Hop and Subway Art is incalculable. Countless writers that followed in their footsteps drew on their pioneering efforts for inspitiation and went on to achieve fame and greatness. Much of the featured artists original style is reflected, mimicked, imitated but never duplicated in the work countless artists who came afterward. Only through tireless determination and persuasion on the part of the show curatators Duro and Marco did these legendary artists agree to do this exclusive event in order to educate and foster understanding within the Hip Hop Community and the world on the roots of Subway Art. It is in this spirit that all of the work showcased at this event is priced under $1500.00 to remind the increasingly commercial world of Hip Hop that in the beginning it was all about having fun and not making money.

Autograf

New York City’s Graffiti Writers

autograf_invite12004parix.jpg

Photographs by Peter Sutherland

Text by REVS

A controversial art form and provocative cultural phenomenon, graffiti has inestimably influenced our entire environment—from music and fashion to advertising, architecture, and graphic arts. Yet it is an illegal activity, which makes its practitioners wanted criminals. Motivated by a desire for self-expression and recognition, the act of marking one’s territory is done at the risk of severe consequences including fines and jail time. Graffiti writers are outlaws, unknown artists whose faces are known only to their peers. Treated as criminals by the law and dismissed as artists by the establishment, writers are perceived as either alluring anti-heroes or loathsome vandals, and usually remain anonymous to their audience. But not to photographer Peter Sutherland.

With an eye for style, Sutherland captures all of the gritty glory and glamour of the graffiti world and its warriors. Collected for the first time in Autograf: New York City’s Graffiti Writers, Sutherland presents a never-before-seen chronicle of the people and places that populate New York’s famed graff scene. Featuring old-school legends FUTURA, STAY HIGH 149, LADY PINK and DOZE, as well as COPE 2, KAWS, CYCLE, CLAW, VFR, KR, EARSNOT, SERF, NATO, NET, RATE, SACER, UFO, and DSENSE, among many others, each one of the fifty-three portraits is authentically tagged by the individual  writers using the same paint markers that brought them fame. Complemented by over fifty landscape photographs and featuring handwritten text by legendary recluse REVS, Autograf  is the only book to showcase New York City’s graffiti scene as it was created and defined by some of the most prolific artists of our time.

Autograf will be released in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland by Die Gestalten Verlag

Cut & Paint: A Stencil Template Zine #1

Josh (Stencil Pirates book, justseeds.org), Nicolas (Drawing Resistance art show) and Colin (Ideas in Pictures zine) are putting together a giant zine of stencil templates. Our goal is to produce a 60-100 page zine filled with some of the best and most exciting stencil ideas out there, stuff so good people will have to cut ‘em out and start painting! We need submissions from stencil artists all over the world. Here’s what we need: *All designs should be 7.5x10 inches

* Templates should be clean sprays of stencils on clean white paper. Flat black paint is preferable. We'll be photocopying these templates, so keep the lines as crisp as possible.

* No racist, sexist, homophobic designs. Also, we're really looking for smart and creative takes on what's going on in the world, not copied portraits of movie stars or Japanese robots. Keep it original. Stencils don't have to be hit-you-over-the-head political (i.e. Fuck Bush, although that's fine too), but they should be interesting to more that just you and your friends!

* Feel free to submit more than one template design

* Tell us if you want your template credited to a name, and if so, what name (and contact information if you want, i.e. website, email, address, etc.)

We hope to make at least a couple hundred copies, and plan on doing a color stenciled or silkscreened cover. The goal is that the zine will not cost more than $3 or $4. We will distribute the zine as far and wide as possible. All templates that are chosen for the zine will become copyleft/copyriot (i.e. they can be freely copied and used by anyone, public domain). Everyone who has a stencil chosen for the zine will get a free copy.

Send stencil templates to:
Josh M/Stencil Pirates
POBox 476971
Chicago, IL 60647
USA

or email hi-res (preferably 1200dpi line art) templates to josh@justseeds.org

If you have any questions, drop an email to animaltrap@yahoo.com or josh@justseeds.org

Art for Change is pleased to extend to you an invitation to "Dissecting Diversity", a one-day conference organized by Art for Change in collaboration with the Diversity Studies Initiative of the Graduate School of Arts and Science of New York University. The conference will be held on Saturday April 3rd, 2004. We invite you to present and discuss how your art may impact today‚s understanding of diversity.

"Dissecting Diversity"

Before each panel discussion, there will be artistic presentations that will draw upon the concepts discussed and express them in music, performance, visual arts, recitation and all other forms of expression that we can fit within our space and time limits.

Besides these three presentations we are planning to use the launch outside of the auditorium to exhibit different visual art pieces that reflect the nature of the conference.

We need your presence and your unique expression at this forum in order to give a context to the discussion. We believe that art will spread the message of our dialogue. We hope you join us.

If you are interested in participating, please respond to Rosario Mariño at 212-348-7044 / 917 438 7012 or to rosario@artforchange.org

Time is short so, we would greatly appreciate your response as soon as possible. We hope you recognize the importance of this conference and consider your participation, as your contribution will enrich "Dissecting Diversity."

Lilman Makes a Name for Himself

lilpromosonikx.jpg

Please join Caleb Neelon / SONIK in the release of his new children's picture book, "Lilman Makes a Name for Himself," on Thursday, April 1, at the Revolving Museum in downtown Lowell, Massachusetts.

The party will take place from 7-9pm and will include slides and a gallery talk by Caleb Neelon. There's a five dollar cover, which gets you into the Museum, where there's a mural by Sonik and Bare, along with much more.

http://www.revolvingmuseum.org for directions and information!

The book, written and illustrated by Caleb Neelon / Sonik

Lilman arrives home from school one day unhappy - his name doesn't seem to mean and be himself and who he is. He tells his mother of his dilemma, and then sets out to build his name from wood. Then, he covers it with hats, feathers, stripes, rice, beans, and other things that reflect his vision of himself. He takes the name to school the next day, where it is such a hit that all of his classmates follw suit, building and decorating their names as well. Like Lilman and his classmates, we all have the power to "make a name for ourselves."

"Lilman Makes a Name for Himself" is UV-coated hardcover, which means that it can wipe clean after you spill cereal on it. It is also library bound, which means that it won't fall apart after you use it as a frisbee. There's a special "make a name for yourself" activity and lesson plan, as well as a handful of my favorite pieces.

More information, including how to order a copy to be mailed to you, is available at:

It's like a long walk in the city to find interactions between Street-Art and human behaviour. Sometimes we didn't notice the feeling of a powerfull message written on the wall. Sometimes we didn't notice the beauty of the urban moves. This time, we'll be able to do it.

C'est comme une longue promenade dans la ville afin de trouver des interactions entre le street-art et le comportement humain.

TU CASA ES MI CASA:

Opening Friday March 19 from 6-10pm

gen·tri·fi·ca·tion : the process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces earlier usually poorer residents

Tu Casa Es Mi Casa: Artists Respond to Gentrification hopes to bring awareness of the changes that are occurring across Chicago, neighborhoods that are considered low-Income areas are being bought out, rehabbed, while the residents are being displaced and pushed out. Some say artists are partly to blame, since they make the neighborhoods safe for urban professionals or real estate companies to come in and buy property as an investment. Artists are usually on the low-end of the income scale and that is a major reason why they look to move into areas that offer cheap rent. What is an artist to do?

STOP BUSH: A MULTIMEDIA ARCHIVE AND TOOLKIT

Call for Submissions anti-Bush movies, protest graphics, design, and street art from 2000-2004 sponsored by Clamor Magazine, Counter Productive Industries, justseeds, and Rooftop Films

Since the day Bush stepped into the White House, there has been a torrent of visual art created to get him out. Much of this amazing work has come and gone - hoisted as a sign at a protest, wheatpasted on a wall one early morning, or broadcast on public access cable. Now in 2004, as we build for his eviction, we are compiling many of these anti-Bush movies, graphics, stencils, posters, and photographs into a dvd/print booklet project called "Stop Bush: A Multimedia Archive and Toolkit."

If you use culture for resistance, this will be your toolkit. "Stop Bush" will provide inspiration to cover public walls, content to set up film screenings, and lessons in propaganda.

As the name suggests, there are two purposes for this project: Archive - to archive for posterity this genre of political art; and Toolkit - to gather and present materials that can be used this summer and fall.

With these purposes in mind, submissions will be selected for inclusion in the DVD and print booklet based on their aesthetic and critical qualities and their tactical usefulness.

NOTE

(This project is primarily for already-produced material, though original writing and artwork on this topic should be sent to Clamor Magazine for consideration by June 20, 2004.)

MAILING ADDRESS:
justseeds/DVD

Chicago, IL 60647 USA

Please interpret the theme broadly, though we are particularly interested in work that covers the following topics:

[Elections] - 2000 election - the fraud that was
- 2004 election - how to combat vote fraud, getting out the vote -
- campaign finance

[Events/Protests]
- the inauguration
- 9.11.01

- anti war movement
- illegal detentions

A Show of Socially Engaged Printmaking

From April 17th through June 30th, 2004, The Street Art Workers, In The Times and Version>04 will be holding a socially engaged printmaking show in Chicago. This exhibit will showcase print-based art which engages with the larger world via themes of social justice and global equity. Because of its accessibility and reproducibility, printmaking has long been used in struggles for freedom and social equality.

Prints are often publicly posted and their bold graphic qualities are used to communicate with and educate broad audiences all over the world.

This show will contain work from dozens of artists. Much of the art will be in multiples available for sale at inexpensive prices, $25 and below. The hope is that the show will help build an audience for these important ideas by allowing many people to buy the art and to support socially-conscious artists. Printmaking for this exhibit includes silkscreen, letterpress, stenciling, etching, block prints, hand-processed photo prints, any kind of printing on paper that produces multiples and retains some evidence of the human hand (no digital or laser prints).

Half of the proceeds from the show will benefit the Street Art Workers (SAW), which is a national arts collective that believes in the use of "street art" (posters, stencils, stickers, etc.) as a viable and effective means of communication. By distributing their work through a network of artists in several cities across the country, SAW hopes to have a powerful visual impact. SAW also seeks to create graphics which go beyond simple reaction and "cool", which instead begin to educate and motivate people. In 2002 SAW covered 8 cities with anti-prison artwork, and in 2003 they hit 17 cities with utopian / dystopian visions for the future. Proceeds from this show will help SAW concentrate more art in cities within the network, and hopefully expand it's reach.

This show is also part of the Version>04: Invisible Networks convergence happening in Chicago from April 16-May 2. You can find out more about Version>04 at http://www.versionfest.org

QUALITY OF LIFE

North American Premiere
Cinequest in San Jose, March 12 and 13.

Winner of prestigious award at the Berlin Festival

Friday March 12, 9:30pm (Our North America Premiere)
Saturday March 13, 2:45pm

There will be a Q&A with the filmmakers after each showing.

Both showings are at the San Jose State University Theater on the SJSU campus.

For those people who saw the private screening in San Francisco, this will be your first chance to see the film on 35mm with new footage and an optimized soundtrack. It's an amazing experience. See you there!

Buy tickets online

Quality of Life is an independently produced narrative feature film starring Lane Garrison, Brian Burnam, Luis Saguar and Mackenzie Firgens. The film had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival where it won a prestigious "Special Mention" award.

The film tells an authentic and gripping story of two young graffiti writers whose friendship and lives unravel after they get arrested.

Viewers leave the theater debating the controversial ending of the film and also raving about the soundtrack, which features an eclectic mix from the rising stars of hiphop, punk, electronica and indie rock including Andre Nickatina, Death Cab For Cutie, Modest Mouse, Sebadoh, Mr. Lif, Lifesavas, Good Riddance, Amon Tobin, and Built To Spill.

Quality of Life was shot and edited in the Mission District of San Francisco with the support of many in the area's renowned graffiti subculture.

Stand-out performances in the film include Lane Garrison as the conflicted Mikey "Heir" Rosario and newcomer Brian Burnam as the destructive Curtis "Vain" Smith. Quality of Life is the feature film debut for both.

Garrison turned to acting after serving a brief stint in juvenile hall for a burglary charge and credits acting with saving his life.

Burnam (who had never acted prior to this) was brought on originally to provide feedback on the script as someone close to the Mission District Graffiti scene. He ended up re-writing most of the screenplay with Morgan and was cast as one of the two leads after another actor dropped out a week before production.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Director Benjamin Morgan has spent over a decade as a government social worker, working within the juvenile justice system with at-risk youth. A former at-risk kid himself, Morgan's connection to the underground youth of today provides the film with its gritty realism and "drama verite" style.

INTERVENTI URBANI

Curated by Silvia Biagi

Meeting: March 4, 2004 at 2 p.m. Exhibition Opening: March 4, 2004 at 6 p.m.

On march 4, 2004 from 2 to 6 o' clock p.m. there will be a meeting "Inter20 Urbani" at the MLAC, the Museum Laboratory of Contemporary Art at La Sapienza University of Rome. At the end of the meeting it will be inaugurated the "Interventi Urbani" exhibition curated by Silvia Biagi.

Interventi Urbani are the kind of artistic operations that aim to involve a public that is not tipically artistical one, that choose for this reason as place of exhibition streets and places instead of galleries and museums. The urban room becomes in this way not only the physical and architectural contex but even and above all the human context, a whole of relationships, habits, gestures, ways of life that characterize the city, which intervene in the citizen context changing it and interacting with it and with its inhabitants and with its ways of life.

The project is divided into three sections to illustrate in a compiute way the complessity of this form of art. Inside the laboratory museum are collected the documentation relative to the interventions ( videos, pictures, installations), during the meeting some of the present artists toghether with university teachers, critics and art gallery's owners are invited to speack and confront each other with the problems that emerge from this way to work. Outside of the museum, in the streets of the city, or in those places that are considered particolarly meaningful several artists carryed out interventions and performances.

A 12 Group, Stalker Group, Pino Modica, Pino Boresta, Brigata Es, Salvatore Falci, Adriana Torregrossa, Why Style, represent in different ways their interactions with the city, not limiting their work as a kind of urban design, but they aim to interact directly with the human and urban scenery, to investigate even the more banal aspects of everyday living, to insinuate the doubt, to turn over the conventions, to unhinge the common place, to belie the thoughts, the confortable habits, to plunge in the place of the possibilties, of the discover, the unknown: in a word in the place of the reflection. These artistic operations, hide a social interest, toghether with a presumption that the artist plays an important role in the society. But it is necessary to establish their position inside the contemporary artistic context, through the comparison, the critic reflection, the discussion, but even the possibility to observe, to follow, to partecipate directly to some of these interventions.

The exhibition is realized according the Laboratory program of MLAC, with the contribution of the region of Lazio, the Borough Council Clerk's office of the Cultural politics and the Province of Rome. It is realized according the MLAC program of experimental courses of Stage/Master in Critical Curating and Museum Installation. Given by the director of the museum Simonetta Lux and realized by the MLAC's curator Domenico Scudero.

* Call for artists

Anti War-on-Iraq Memorabilia Exhibition

Call to submit material for Anti War-on-Iraq Memorabilia Exhibition, World Social Forum 2004

Calling all campaigners who came together all over the world to make history in 2003 who spoke, wrote, painted, screamed, photographed, sang, shot and walked against the US led invasion of Iraq. Lets celebrate that show of strength!

That music video which just HAD to be made, That installation which had to be put together, That nasty Dear Bush Email which had to reach everybody in your contacts That graffiti you scrawled defiantly on McDonalds walls That long real long banner that u laboured overnight over That moving photograph of the massive demonstration in your city.

... send them to us. We are planning an exhibition of anti-war art, campaign materials and documentation produced during the world-wide protests and demonstration against the attack on Iraq. All the materials collected would be curated for a show by the committee on culture at the World Social Forum 2004. We can even work with j-peg images and reproduce them in India to avoid physical transportation. If you are unable to bear the transportation costs, they can be reimbursed.

Write to wsf04@hotmail.com or wsf_mamtamurthy@rediffmail. com with a description of your material (item/ creative idea/ size or duration/ weight etc.). Display, transport and other terms will be discussed in each case.

ALPHABET ALCHEMY at dreambagsjaguarshoes

Jagshoes2004alphacademyx.jpg Jagshoes2004londonx.jpg

Private View - 12th February 2004 starts at 6.30pm

32 Kingsland Road, London, E1

This Fashion Week, dreambagsjaguarshoes will play host to I-SAW as they mark the launch of their fourth Men's and Womenswear Collection. The founders, Chum 101 and Rachael Taylor, describe I-SAW as a 'style brand' as opposed to a fashion label to avoid 'boxing-in' their creative vision. They come from a Fine Art/Graffiti background as well as fashion design so they regularly produce art shows and installations.

Many of the concepts explored during these exhibitions have paved the way for their next major venture, which will be Homewares and Interiors. With this in mind, the exhibition at dreambags jaguarshoes will combine interiors and fashion. They will utilise a wide range of media to showcase what they term their 'Alphabet Alchemy'. The basis for their imagery will be letterforms (usually spelling out the brand name) taken to extreme levels of abstraction and typographical/calligraphical perversion. So what has previously seen the light of day as the I-Saw Print Collection , will be applied as a means of branding the space. Infecting the walls and other surfaces with their visual virus, through not only paints and inks but sculptural materials and new media, fabrics and textile craft techniques (they invented Graffiti Embroidery in 2001).

Limited edition products related to the exhibition will be on sale at no.one, 1 kingsland rd, london e2 for the duration of the exhibition.

Opening Reception

Stay Gold Gallery NY
451 Grand St
Brooklyn, NY
USA

A collective of established and up-and-coming artists will be graphically exploring their interpretations of the Midwest. As a highly under-rated part of the hip hop culture and the underground design world, the Midwest is thriving with talent that does not have the direct opportunity, outside of the world-wide web, to be exposed to the culture of the coasts.

This show will be an opportunity for these artists to gain exposure outside of their immediate environment. Each artist will create an individual interpretation using any medium and application. All artists have roots in the Midwest and a range of styles from graffiti art to experimental web based design. Included will be a performance by a group of Chicago based MCs and DJs.

Artists: Scott Fitzgerald, Kevin Hayes (Hewn M12), Hybrid TCI AKB, Tony Lecy-Siewert (BubbleGum & Braces), David Nelson, Prate Computer Channel, Revise CMW, Kristina Rolander, Wes Hooker, Emily Ullrich, Upso, Theo Von Briesen, & Vincent Zager.

[Sponsors too numerous to mention with more being added.]

Gallery Hours:

Monday thru Friday / by appointment only Saturday and Sunday / 12pm - 5pm

Calling All Graffiti Artists !

galleryxjan2004x.jpg

This February, 2004, Gallery X, Inc. will be hosting a large scale Graffiti Art Exhibition!

The Gallery is currently seeking graffiti artists to participate in this exhibit which will run from February 4 - 29. Gallery X is a contemporary art gallery located at 169 William St., in New Bedford, MA. You can visit Gallery X on the web at http://www.galleryxartscooperative.org

169 William St.
New Bedford, MA 02740
(508) 992 - 2675
Wed - Sun 11 - 3:00 pm

Many of the artists being contacted by this email participated in this past summer's 3rd Eye Open, 4th annual, "Put Out The Word" event. Many of you were involved in a graffiti mural paintathon, and may recall meeting me, Matt Ryckebusch, at the event.

The show will be hung on February 2 and 3, so artwork will need to be dropped off Saturday, January 30, or Sunday February 1 between the hours of 3:00 - 5:00 pm. We will be accepting all media (i.e. panels, canvasses, sculpture, etc.). Please contact me if you would like to be in the exhibit. And certainly tell others who would also like to be in the exhibit.

The mission of this exhibit is to demystify certain stereotypes often associated with graffiti art. The purpose is also educational and cultural.

Again, please contact me with any questions or comments. ryckebusch@earthlink.net Look forward to hearing from you,

Matt

Will be exhibiting emerging artists from the South Bay. Selected artists have excelled and have many Graff roots to this day, and others have clearly been influenced by the "Urban Art Movement." Each artist is from a different backround and origin, but they all share the same passion to create and keep this movement alive. Join us as we enter this New Year with new ideas and visions to crush 2004...This event is not only to support our visions and the talent of the artists. We would like to encourage you to come join us as proceeds of anything that is sold will go to help the the Boys and Girls Club of the Southbay area , to insure that the next generation has the support it needs to share their vision

The Anti Picket-Fence Project

Picket fences are supposed to be WHITE, right? Picket fences themselves push lots of emotional and cultural buttons and conjur up lots of deeply held beliefs regarding the ideal of the American Dream.

WHOSE DREAM ARE WE LIVING ANYWAY? Well, what if the pickets were painted black and, on top of that, covered with some CONTROVERSIAL graffiti, right in the middle of an old, revolutionary suburban community now dubbed 'the contemporary art capital of the world.'

Beacon, NY, as you may know, is the home of DIA:BEACON, the largest contemporary art museum in the world and is located 59 miles north of New York City along the Hudson River. Artists who've exhibited there.

Through this project I hope to stir public debate about graffiti as art as well as initial important conversation about how graffiti and other contemporary art is perceived to contrast with the American Dream lived in the suburbs behind white picket fences. I will also explore the idea of censorship in the suburbs.

Reality/Fiction: (Re)Constructing Representation

jamaicany2003x.jpg

Photos and art by LadyK

Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning (JCAL) presents Reality/Fiction: (Re)Constructing Representation, which includes an exhibition of cutting-edge contemporary art, a series of performances inspired by the urban experience, provocative film screenings, book-readings, and a forum. Reality/Fiction will be on view in

JCAL's gallery
161-04 Jamaica Ave
Jamaica, New York

Reality/Fiction, organized by Curator Heng-Gil Han, examines the main aspects of reality and unreality. The exhibition begins with an engaging group of works that involve the elements of mimicry and illusion, including innovative installations by Gregory Crewdson, Art Jones, Diane Miller, Adia Millet, and Cindy Sherman. The exhibition also features digitally manipulated pieces that are expositions of imaginary reality, including dynamic works by Cadence Giersbach, Anthony Goicolca, and Yoshio Itagaki. In addition, works by Rosemarie Fiore and Fred Tomaselli embrace constructive elements of interaction to create an imagined reality. The exhibition concludes with works of art by Yun-Fei Ji, Rajkamal Kahlon, Whitfield Lovell, and Wangechi Mutu that challenge pre-conceived notions and perceptions of (un)real identity.

Weekend Theatre Series organized by Blanca Vasquez, Associate Curator of Performing Arts, featuring energetic Hip-Hop performances, film screenings, book readings and free Hip Hop workshop classes.

JCAL's weekend Theatre Series includes

Soular Power'd, a performance created and directed by Kwikstep and Rokafella, on Thursday, October 30th and Saturday, November 1st at 7pm;

a thought-provoking documentary film entitled Hip Hop Hope by Darrell Wilks on Thursday November 6th at 7pm;

and a book reading by Raquel Z. Rivera with a lecture/performance presented by Jorge "Fabel" Pabon on Saturday, November 8th at 7pm. New York Ricans from the Hip Hop Zone, a book by Rivera, explores the Puerto Rican dimension of Hip Hop. In his presentation, The Great Hip Hop Swindle, Pabon delves into the circumstances that have led to the fragmentation of Hip Hop culture and offers solutions to how people can restore the culture to its original state.

The final part of Reality/Fiction: (Re)Constructing Representation includes a film/video screening program organized by Sara Reisman, an Independent Curator. Reisman presents media projects that question how identity is constructed and perceived, making it clear that identity is formed through a complex combination of circumstances. The film screening takes place on Saturday, December 6 at 7pm.

Gallery hours
Monday through Thursday 10 am to 8 pm and Saturday 10 am to 6 pm.

The End of the Start: 10 Years of the Center

This exhibition celebrates a decade of multidisciplinary programming at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts since the Center opened to the public in October of 1993 and is part of a Center-wide celebration of our 10th Anniversary. Ten notable artists who have shown at the Center over the years have been asked to collaborate with an artist who has never shown at the Center. The resulting joint projects honor our past while looking toward the future, highlighting the process of cooperation and interaction - values at the core of the Center's spirit. Participating artists include Carrie Mae Weems, Ruben Ortiz Torrez, Barry McGee, Alicia McCarthy, Patty Chang, and others. In addition, there will be a changing series of performance based events by artists such as Guillermo Gomez Pena, MATMOS and Bill Daniels that challenge the ways in which art is traditionally presented in the context of the gallery space.
