Brindisi Italy: December 9 - 30, 2006

AleAndrew Show. Made in Brundisium

Dal 9 al 30 Dicembre a Brindisi Via Provinciale per Lecce, 14

"AleAndrew Show. Made in Brundisium" is the first exposition-event, organized from the AleAndrew team, that it means to carry out an historical and evolution distance of phenomenon of the Graffiti and Urban Art, leaving from one photographic exposure of graffiti and personages who have made the history of this movement in the territory from 1983 till now, passing from the job on canvas of the Writers from Puglia, Italians and international. Same name: Mr. WanyUes, Giose, Phen, Hunto, Shadow, Zenok, Ale! , Casrok (Belgium), Logan (Spain), Wert (Germany). We will cross the phenomenon of the custom with "Pimp my Skull" that is skulls not only personalizes you from the greater exponents of the movement and, landing to vinil toys the object of cult by now much more all over the world. An event enriched from the outlandish personages and letters that will be designs to you on the external walls of the location during the inauguration that will keep 9 December from hour 10,00, than change in burlaps, toys and gadget, inside, becoming object of art and cult. Between the partner of the event: Groove, Cantieri Ura, Prevenzione and Sicurezza, Valle Fiorita, Montana Cans, Shocking Latex Paint, Superfly, Atom Plastic and many more.

Nel 1983 due ragazzi si trasferirono dalle periferie di Parigi a Brindisi portando con loro le fondamenta della cultura hip hop. Si generò da subito un forte fermento che incuriosì i giovani e li avvicinò a questa nuovo movimento artistico che influenzò e continua ad influenzare tutt’oggi le nuove generazioni. Il precoce input e l’ampia adesione di ragazzi talentuosi fece di Brindisi, negli anni, uno dei centri più attivi e prestigiosi di questa cultura, nello scenario italiano ed internazionale. Ora alcuni di loro lavorano nel campo dell’arte, della grafica pubblicitaria e del design in Italia e nel mondo. Quel seme piantato 23 anni fa e ormai un albero robusto pronto a fiorire.

AleAndrew Show. Made in Brundisium è la prima mostra-evento, organizzata dal team AleAndrew (costituito da Andrea Sergio in arte Wanyues e Alessandra Sardano), che si propone di effettuare un percorso storico ed evoluzionistico del fenomeno del Graffitismo e Urban Art, esordendo con un’esposizione fotografica di graffiti e personaggi che hanno fatto la storia di questo movimento nel territorio dal 1983 fino ad oggi, transitando attraverso in lavoro su tela dei Writers pugliesi, italiani e internazionali fra i quali: Mr. WanyUes, Giose, Phen, Hunto, Shadow, Zenok, Ale!, Casrok (Belgio), Logan (Spagna), Wert (Germania). Attraversando il fenomeno della customizzazione con “Pimp my Skull” ossia teschi personalizzati dai maggiori esponenti della corrente artistica in questione ma non solo, approdando al vinil toys oggetto di culto ormai tanto rinomato in tutto il mondo. Un evento arricchito dalla performance sui muri esterni della location durante l’happening che si terrà il 9 dicembre dalle ore 10.00, per poi continuare con l’innagurazione della mostra alle 21:00 le tele, toys e gadget che divengono oggetto d’arte di culto e feticismo.

Happening dalle ore 10.00 del 9 Dicembre (Live performance sui muri esterni della location). Inaugurazione esposizione dalle ore 21.00 del 9 Dicembre. Festa di chiusura dalle ore 19.00 del 30 Dicembre.

Tra i partner dell’evento: Groove, Cantieri Ura, Prevenzione & Sicurezza, Valle Fiorita, Montana Cans, Shocking Latex Paint, Superfly, Atom Plastic and many more.

JOSE PARLA CITYSCAPES

Spoonfed is proud to present Miami native, New York based artist Jose Parla for his Miami solo debut and book launch (pre-opening) December 6th, 2006 and reception Dec, 8th at Mitchell Rubenstein's Park Avenue Loft located in the middle of South Beach and the Art Deco District one block from the Bass Museum of Art:

Mitchell Rubenstein's
2228 Park Avenue
Miami Beach, FL 33139
tel: 305.637.3750.

CITYSCAPES marks Parla's first Miami solo exhibition. Jose Parla's paintings are immediately powerful with a swaying rhythm and an unruly soulfulness that embraces rather than overwhelms; at once balanced and complex, both mysterious and deeply lyrical, abstract and intensely literal. His images occupy vast spaces filled with windswept clouds, commercial poster fragments, and remembered architecture while stylized calligraphic writings introduce grace and tension as a distinctly human gesture.

The compositions are often mounted or executed directly on wood panel, and the solidity of this foundation gives warmth and mass to the paintings, upholding the illusion of the spaces they describe. Jose works on a large scale using materials and methods of architectural construction: cement, wood and vinyl; as well as traditional art incorporating paper, paint, powdered dye, wax, and ink.

Parla's expert, passionate brushwork and subtly shifting palettes resolve themselves into walls, tags, skies and sidewalks, as seen through the veils of time and memory. When discussing the work he often uses terms like synthetic and segmented, referring to the world's cities as virtual palimpsests, upon which are recorded in literal, figurative and ongoing layering process of the personal histories of countless anonymous passersby.

Though still quite young, the conceptual passions that would become the foundation of Parla's voice as an artist have been on his mind since he was a child. Born in Miami into a family of Cuban exiles, Parla moved to Puerto Rico at an early age before returning to Miami when he was nine. He currently lives and works in New York, and only recently traveled to Cuba for the first time. His life, like his work, is therefore at once extremely particular and generally reflective of the wanderings of today's urban populations. Moving was never a simple question of packing his bags. Instead, he augmented his aesthetic observations with an analytical, almost sociological perspective on the cities in which he lingered and through which he walked and continues to walk.

Parla was awarded the Francis McCommon Scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design, Georgia in 1989. At New World School of the Arts he studied Advanced Painting with Mel Alexemberg. He has exhibited locally and internationally from Miami, Los Angeles, New York to Paris and Tokyo. His work is featured in the collections of Agnes B., Tom Ford, Katy Barker, and has been published in various publications such as Tokion, Booth Clibborn's 718 Brooklyn Style, Juxtapoz, BLK/MRKT's One (Die Gestalten) and The Atlanta Journal Constitution. Parla was selected by Manon Slome to exhibit his work with Mimmo Rotella at the Chelsea Art Museum in New York in 2004. Jose was recently invited to exhibit his work and lecture on painting and printmaking classes at Whitworth College and MAC Museum in Spokane, Washington.

CITYSCAPES is an exhibition you won't want to miss for Art Basel 2006.

Not My Government

Not My Government, aka Ryan J. Saari, has been producing and distributing seditious images since 1996. I started printing and handing out stickers calling attention to police repression. I've given away thousands of hand cut stickers at every major march and rally in Northern California since.

Over the years I've expanded subjects to include the whole gamut of anti-authoritarian causes with images on formats ranging from vinyl stickers to fine art silk screens to buttons, t-shirts and several fanzines. I'm happy to announce the first show of my fine art screen prints.

The show opens on Friday December 1st. Please join me for a reception from 7-11pm at

Free Mind Media, 546 Pacific Ave, Santa Rosa, CA.

Previews of the prints are posted http://www.flickr.com/photos/46563751@N00/sets/72157594362825631/

CALL TO MURAL ARTISTS

International Mural Festival and Symposium

Deadline for first stage applications: Friday, December 8, 2006

Graffiti Art Programming Inc. is proud of the success of the inaugural International Mural Festival and Symposium, held in the summer of 2006, and we want to do it again in 2007!

Mural artists are invited to enter a two-stage mural art competition. Artists will be selected by a jury to reproduce their own designs, at 1000 square feet, at various prominent downtown locations. Artists who are chosen to participate will be paid $8,000 to create their mural. Travel and accommodations for out-of-town artists will be paid for. This year's Festival, will be held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in July 2007.

We hope to raise significant interest in public art and its effect in the city. It's also an opportunity to make a range of art styles accessible to everyone, without the barriers of operating hours and admission fees. The Festival will also have a Symposium component, to further the discussion about art in the public realm and the mural industry.

Please visit www.muralfest.com to download the Project Brief.

Pass on this information to anyone who might be interested!

Lunar: BEASTZ AND BUGZ

Invisible NYC is proud to host a solo-exhibit by Croatian artist, Lunar. His art is fueled by his own graffiti as well as the graffiti of others, such as CMP and Mode2. Lunar's graffiti work has been immortalized in publications such as Nicholas Ganz's "Street Art: Graffiti From Five Continents".

Lunar is responsible for co-founding Croatia's first graffiti crew, YCP, in 1992. He has since been commissioned by numerous city councilors across Croatia to add his unique, illustrative style of graffiti on community walls through out his country; and is one of the head creative forces who turned blank and barren walls specifically throughout his home of Zagreb, Croatia into renewed and vibrant, works of public art. One cannot go even a few blocks in Zagreb without coming across Lunar's art either on a small scale, as in his 2-dimansional dogs placed in the grass of neighborhood parks, or his large wall murals on the sides buildings. Lunar has also created work for major advertising companies such as Coca-Cola, Nissan, and Sony Playstation. His work tends to be optimistic and technically flawless in execution.

For his first exhibit in the U.S., Lunar will recreate on large canvases his inquisitive and odd-shaped animal and bug inspired creatures that have become his signature icon throughout the streets of Zagreb. The "beastz" are rendered in an organic red, black and white. By direct contrast, the "bugz" are solely in black and white. The deliberate use of a limited color palette coupled with a lively, electrifying background allows the characters to boldly address the viewer and present their individual personalities. This simplicity provides for an uplifting and dynamic exhibit of happy "beastz and bugz" frolicking on and redefining what are usually blank, white gallery walls. However, while the subject matter is light-hearted and almost child-like, the subtle details and unyielding execution, using only three colors (or non-colors), are testament to the larger social context of what's acceptable public art vs. graffiti (what some believe to be vandalism) in both Croatia and around the world.

The exhibit will run from November 16th - December 16th, Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 8:00 PM. The opening reception will be on Thursday, November 16th from 7:00-9:00 PM.

POCH & ROCK

Wasted Talent

Work of art redrawing 6 years of common production of two atypical characters of the Parisian graffiti scene, POCH and ROCK.

An artistic collaboration arisen from a desire to practise different painting combining graffiti and varied influences (Illustrations of the fifties, logos and characters of advertisement of the sixties, propaganda posters, comics American vintage, prints rock n' roll) breaking the codes of the hip hop traditional imag

Stemming from both universes of punk-rock and hip-hop, constantly changing technique and medium (spraypaint, stencils, acrylic, posters, illustration, graphics) and appropriating different aesthetics, they develop a self-confident and original style.

Rich in symbols and references, their productions allow a reading sometimes sensible, sometimes playful.

Signature of the book by the artists, only on the occasion of the opening.

Days are passing by, it's getting dark earlier and green becomes brown. Fall has arrived and matching the autumn mood, the Ingolstadter Jazz Tage are pounding on the door. Enough reason for Daniel Lange, artist and co-founder of xhoch4 design studio, to dedicate himself to this theme. Starting October 18th, 2006, he shows his new work - which is dealing with the giants of jazz, like Armstrong, Coltrane or Parker - at the Diagonal Ingolstadt. The pure portraits are convincing mostly because of the mixed media technique of acrylic and spray paint; raw but detailed, anyway. Answering the question, why he works on this subject: ìAlthough i'm listening to a lot of electronic music, jazz is the music which touches the heart and pushes me forward while working. This is the sound of our studio...

The exhibition is from the 10th Oct to the 20th Dec at the Diagonal, Kreuzstrasse. Open at the usual times of the bar. More info at www.malun.org, www.xhoch4.de and www.diagonal-bar.de

Graffiti Women: Street Art from Five Continents by Nicholas Ganz

Featuring 1,000 full-color illustrations from some of the world's most prominent graffiti and street artists, including Americans Lady Pink, Swoon, and Miss 17, Brazil's Nina, Japan's Sasu, and Mexico's Peste, this first-ever comprehensive book includes two eight-page fold-out collages, a fold-out poster jacket, and an authoritative text.

American graffiti artists/writers that are highlighted in the book include: Aiko (NY), Are2, Cade (NY), Che Jen (NY), Claw and Misssl7 (NY), Constance Brady (NY), Diva (NY), Dona (NY), Eroticaa67 (NY), Femme9 (Kansas), Fever (NY), Maya Hayuk (NY), Horsie (Pittsburgh), Jakee (NY), Jel (LA), Jen Props (NY), Jerk (LA), Lady Pink (NY), Luna (LA), Melina (NY), Muck, Queen Andrea (NY), RB827 (NY), Reminisce (San Francisco), Ropas (NY), Sherm (LA), Siloette (Phoenix), Solovei, Swoon (NY), Thundercut (NY), Toofly (NY), Tribe (LA), T.W.

Abbot + Falko = Raus

La Biokip Gallery apre le sue porte dal 10-11 al 30-11 per ospitare i lavori di Fost e Abbominevole in una mostra di opere miste e visionarie che rispecchiano perfettamente la spontanea propensione dei due per la scelta di soggetti originali che hanno spesso e volentieri dell' assurdo.

Varie le tecniche utilizzate dall' Abominevole e Fost nel creare le proprie pazze opere, infatti è molto frequente che i due si servano del disegno in puro bianco e nero, del collage e della fotografia oltre a originali produzioni video nel concretizzare ogni malsana idea. Se non c'è limite all'assurdo allora non ci dev'essere nessun limite nel rappresentarlo, e questo i due artisti lo sanno bene. The biokip gallery opens its doors from the 10/11 to the 30/11 to host the works of Fost and Abbominevole in an exhibition of mixed works and visions which reflect their spontanious choice of often absurd and original subjects.

Fost was born in Milan Ticenese where he meets and joins forces which Abbominevole, an instant collaboration sees them postering, stickering and colouring up the walls of Milan by night. Another of the many locations touched by Fosts creativity is the city of Berlin , the german capital is now home to him where he lives and studies and has collected three personal shows.His crazy characters crawl out from every angle , dominating the urban landscape. When he is not seminating the streets of his native Milan , and many others with crazy creatures, Abbominevole works in close contact with images, his truest passion, working with visuals as a vj in electronic music events often organized by Fost. Their weird and wackey characters fill up urban spaces without guilt.

Abbo + falco = Raus is the essence of their formula created by the pair to capture the original sense of street culture interpreted in their unique and personal styles . The addition of the two elements results in a visual research on the themes of sexuality , law and the human being. The last being transforms itself into half man , half beast , un mitological psychedelic creatures of sorts.

The techniques employed by Abbominevole and Fost in creating their weird works are varied often from pure drawings in black and white to collage and photography and video production. This solidafies their often unhealthy ideas . If there is no limit to the unknown and undefined there can be no limit in representating it a fact the two artist are well aware of.

HONET "CEREMONY"

5 masques / 5 villes

L'hydre métropolitaine déploie ses ramifications dans toute l'Europe, pour autant chaque métro est singulier, aux couleurs de sa ville (charte graphique, type de rames...), 5 toiles pour créer une héraldique monstrueuse : Berlin, Rotterdam, Moscou, Bucarest, Athènes.

Une géographie de la conquête, quadrillage stratégique des métros rituellement terrassés, défigurés et symboliquement décapités.

Honet crée sa petite cosmogonie des forces souterraines, Honet : la légende vivante, voudrait-il devenir le héros de son mythe ?

En tout cas, les masques vous regardent, vous dévisagent, voulez-vous entrer dans cette farandole macabre ou rester médusé sur le seuil, peut-être à jamais qui sait?

• Keramik (A)
• Viagrafik (D)
• Akim One Machine (D)
• Nug (SE)
• Mind (CZ)
• Heiko Zahlmann (D)
• Super A (NL)
• Cream (D)

In the week preceding the event and during the night itself a giant collective art-work will be produced live, highlighting the latest developments in straat art like; 3D and architectural objects, performance art, various new media and interactivity. The work-in-progress will be captured in photographic animation film, which will be shown during ArtBeat and of course afterwards on artbeatnow.nl and various popular street art sites.

The ArtBeat programm has a visual (Art) and musical (Beat) line up, of which the 'Beat' part will of course steadily take over as the night progresses. The 'Art' part on the other hand will start several days beforehand in BG, a sizeable exhibition space on the ground floor of the Post CS building, where the artists will start buidling their collective 'piece', while during the early hours of the ArtBeat night the project will Concentrate on interactivity and spontaneous contributions by the audience. All this will be registered by a battery of digital camera's in a panoramic set up, creating a 'time lapse' animation film showing every fragment in the progress of this project. The artists, each with their own explicit style, technique and manifesto, are brought together and put to work by two, in street art-circles celebrated guest curators; Zedz (NL) (www.zedz.org) and Esher (D) (www.schmuddelrot.de/), who also proudly take the ArtBeat communication and webside design to their account. Participating artists to date are:

In club/restaurant 11, on the top (11th) floor of the Post CS building, the international computer art collective Neen will join in, a debut for Amsterdam. Neen, a new art movement with a hard-to-describe but all the more easy-to-experience artistic concept, has programmed an evening filled with strange, interactive projections and performances around a rather alienating dinner. (www.neen.org)

The Beat programme shows a similarly cutting-edge and eclectic line-up bringing new, international 'street-genres' together.

Downstairs at BG local DJ talents O'Boogie and King Toby will kick off with a back to back set. There will be a live performance by Berlin based act Jahcoozi (www.kitty-yo.de or www.myspace.com/jahcoozi). Jahcoozi's Sri Lankan front woman could be described as a M.I.A. on speed. Then there's a couple of dj-duo's lined up; the German girl-dj-duo Sick Girls (www.myspace.com/sickgirlsplayit) and the London based, French-Swedish mix Radioclit (www.myspace.com/radioclit). Expect a mash up of new hiphop flavors like grime, crunck, baile funk, booty, breakcore mixed with dancehall, electro and 80's beats.

The climax at 11 will be the live show by London based Brazilians Tetine (www.myspace.com/tetine). This act has a more arty background, but made quite a stir in the music and fashion scenes recently, with their unique style best described as psychedelic subtropical rap. Known as big promoters of the Rio de Janeiro rooted 'baile funk', a currently massively popular Brazilian hiphop spin off. The art of beat will be continued until near dawn with local star dj's Cinnaman and Tom Trago.

IT'S A LONG WALK HOME

Juan Angel Chavez / Michael Genovese / Cody Hudson

Reception with the artists Friday, November 3 from 7-11 pm

SPACE 1026
1026 Arch Street, 2nd Floor
Philadelphia
215.574.7630
http://www.space1026.com/space.php

Juan Angel Chavez, Michael Genovese, and Cody Hudson have been collaborating as an un-official art crew on the streets of Chicago for years. Different than nighttime shadow skimmers whom seek street credibility by emblazing their names across a city; Chavez, Genovese, and Hudson create sensitive assemblages constructed of found objects. Each installation is pieced together randomly with no prior plan. Then the artists intuitively create a dialog of objects, deconstructed then reconstructed, inserting text patterns, and organic color fields forming a visual environment that symbiotically exists within the installations site-specific space.

IT'S A LONG WALK HOME is a journey that will start in Chicago and end in Philadelphia at Space 1026. Juan, Michael, and Cody will drive off the beaten path picking up pieces a long the way. A long the road the artist's will install and document mini installations during their travels, creating a trail marked with their touch. Their goal is to fill their van with enough accumulated material to build individual habitats inside the gallery and then live in them.

Collecting discarded material, once waste in the urban landscape Chavez, Genovese, and Hudson give life to remnants of times past. Weaving new memories out of past purposes; imposing fresh perspectives in vacant spaces. Blank walls that over time have been neglected, ignored backdrops in blighted areas are transformed into beautiful casts of playful energy. Old signage, fragmented information, abandoned mass surrounds an urban landscape. Articles of trash, unable to biodegrade accumulate in mounds, outline the periphery of our vision, and spill out of our habitats; stagnate. As a collective consciousness the artist/creator picks up those pieces, giving life to left over man-made relics.

Interested in assemblage dwellings, a habitat constructed entirely out of found materials, gathered in and around the area of installation became a focus for the artists. Making structures that re-connects the littered objects with a space synthesizing Genovese's hand written text patterning, Hudson's emotive shapes and colors, with Chavez's dimensional layered constructions.

TERRORISTS, ALIENS, & CRIMINALS

Oakland Graffiti Students Unmask the Fear Behind the Destruction of Habeas Corpus

OAKLAND, CA October 10, 2006. In response to the shocking and unprecedented abolishment of the Writ of Habeas Corpus, which was effected by Congress on September 28, 2006, Oakland students unveil a new series of thought provoking artwork at their second exhibit of the year: Terrorists, Aliens, and Criminals. This free, all ages multimedia event is put on by the Weekend Wake-Up, and features youth artwork, performance, and live music to bring attention to the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which assures the destruction of the 800+ year old legal protection that guaranteed all prisoners a right to a trial, legal counsel, and a right to see the evidence presented against them.

These profound works created by students examine the fear-based messages at the root of legal precedents such as this one, and the societal infrastructures that can disrupt or cultivate the cultural dialogues that build trust across communities. This new exhibit explores the public perceptions of people under covers and masks, from burkas to bandanas, as well as the proliferation of hidden identities in fear based climates.

On November 3, graffiti students from Oasis High School, Havenscourt Middle School, Coliseum College Prep Academy, Roots International, Berkeley High School, YEP Records and the Community Rejuvenation Project will premier their works as the visual exhibit accompanying, the Weekend Wake-Up, Oakland's best all-ages event. They will be accompanied by an impressive performance art component featuring Spoken Word Teatro from headRush, as well as live musical performances by the Brown Buffalo Project, youth emcees from YEP Records and special guest JB RAP all backed by the live funk instrumentals of Sidewalk Development. The event will be hosted by Wonway Posibul of the Secluded Journalists with DJ Agana spinning hip-hop all night and a special DJ showcase by DJ Twelvz. The artwork will remain on display until November 27.

"MarkoKalligraffikzer"

Vernissage de l'exposition le Jeudi 2 Novembre 2006 Exposition jusqu'au 2 Décembre 2006

L'hiver approche et le 2 Novembre à 19h, N2O accueille le vernissage d'une expo d'un grand nom du graff, Marko 93…

Marko 93 plonge en 1998 dans l'univers du hip-hop et plus particulièrement du graffiti.

Mais dès 1994, ce pionnier commence à mélanger des formes d'écritures arabes abstraites au graff et au tag. Cela donnera quelques années plus tard son style si particulier le « kalligraffism ».

A partir de 1999, il développe une technique la « kalligraffie lumineuse », il peint dans le noir des phrases graphiques éphémères avec de la lumière visible uniquement sur support photographique.

Cette même année, après avoir vu le film 'The Pillow Book », il expérimente la peinture sur corps au posca, le « body-paintz »…

Every year, the Day of the Dead becomes more popular and influential, especially in the Los Angeles area. Unlike Halloween, the Day of the Dead does not avoid the subject of death through disguises and costumes, but it confronts it through direct interaction and thought-provoking laughter. Resurrecting positive memories of the deceased, The Day of the Dead (El Dia De Los Muertos) is a festive celebration rather than a mourning ceremony. This holiday, inspired by several distinct ancient Aztec cultures, was originally intended to commemorate and not antagonize the individual. As the holiday clashed with Christian and other Indigenous cultures it picked up new forms of expressions while losing some along the way.

The Day of the Dead is also an acknowledgement that death and birth are ultimately the same. Mendenhall Sobieski Gallery, brings together a diverse mix of young Latin artists that are producing contemporary work that deal with the subject matter in both a traditional and non-traditional manner. This "Day of the Dead" exhibition includes a range of multimedia talents. From artists where no introduction is necessary within the L.A. scene: Antonio Pelayo, hyper realist, Mister Cartoon, famed tattooist, Daniel Gonzalez, woodcut print master, Estevan Oriol, photographer, producer/director, Germs, painter, Joel Garcia, muertos maker, Melissa "Melly" Trochez, painter/muralist, The Street Phantom, Silhouette graff artist, and RETNA, graffiti artist/muralist/painter/designer.

Nearest tube: Tottenham Court Road

Phil Frost is an artist from New York who combines the rawness of the street with an elegant aesthetic.

When viewing his work, you are immediately struck by the frenetic rhythm of the repetitive use of his personal language of shapes and letters rendered in his trademark white correction fluid, then a moment later, you are confronted with a dichotomy; the painting assumes a subtle, ethereal quality as you get drawn into the finer detail and his seductive choice of medium; sheet music, comics, dress patterns, leaves, paper, sticks, feathers, ink - then whilst you are trying to unravel these overlapping layers, you are negotiating the stark white shapes/ signs and symbols - which take you back to the initial rhythm....

Phil Frost is a sophisticated self taught artist who served his apprenticeship during the 90s creating elaborate installations on the street of New York. Locations were scouted and measured before he painstakingly created the artwork in his studio. The work, which could consist of many panels, were then taken to the selected site under cover of darkness. His notoriety led to a PBS documentary being made about his work in 1994 when he was only 21, and his transition to galleries followed rapidly. He has continued to move back and forth between culture and counter-culture, operating both inside and outside the system, and has exhibited widely in both commercial galleries and museum spaces in USA, Europe and Far East.

At the end of last year Phil Frost's work was exhibited alongside artists such as Picasso, Dalí, Magritte and Warhol in the acclaimed exhibition "Looking at Words: The Formal Presence of Text in Modern and Contemporary Works on Paper' at the Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York. The exhibition of works on paper traced the history of the presence of the written word in works of art during the last century.

As with so many of these counter-culture icons, Phil Frost has been commissioned for commercial collaborations including album covers for Sick Of It All. DJ Shadow, designs for realmadHECTIC and MASTERPIECE clothing and Absolut raspberry vodka, and most recently a pair of skateboard decks for SHUT, and high performance BMX parts. As something of a cult figure for skateboarders it is fitting that Phil Frost's most enduring piece on the London streets is outside Slam City Skates in Covent Garden's Neal Street. He originally painted it by invitation in 1996, but has added to it whenever he is in London.

No Sleep ’til Brooklyn

A powerHouse Hip Hop Retrospective

The powerHouse Arena, 37 Main Street, Brooklyn, New York 11201
For more information, please call 212-604-9074 x100

No Sleep 'til Brooklyn is a 30-year retrospective of hip hop culture documenting its humble beginnings in the South Bronx through its glorious rise to global domination. The group exhibition represents every element of hip hop-from the breakers, graffiti writers, emcees, and djs to the photographers, writers, personalities, and fans who have made hip hop the greatest single force in pop culture. But this is by no means a story of celebrity, fame, and mass-market names. As KRS-One said, "Rap is something you do, hip hop is something you live." And so we dedicate No Sleep 'til Brooklyn to the people and to the streets, paying tribute to the founders, the innovators, and the next generation.

The show will feature works by artists including Charlie Ahearn, Janette Beckman, Peter Beste, Le Bijoutier, BLADE, Boogie, Martha Camarillo, Henry Chalfant, Vincent Cianni, Claw Money, Joe Conzo, Martha Cooper, CYCLE, DAZE, Martin Dixon, DR.REVOLT, ©ELLIS G., Delphine Fawundu-Buford, Carol Friedman, William "NIC ONE" Green, JAMES TOP, Hamburger Eyes, Lisa Kahane, Brenda Kenneally, Brian Kenny, Seth Kushner, LADY PINK, Maripol, Slava Mogutin, NATO, Charles Peterson, Mark Peterson, Ricky Powell, QUIK, Lee Quinones, Carlos "MARE 139" Rodriguez, Randy "KEL 1ST" Rodriguez, Thomas Roma, RUEDIONE, Q.

Blek Le Rat

"Every time I think I've painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek Le Rat has done it as well. Only twenty years earlier... " – Banksy 2005

A legendary figure in street art, Blek Le Rat (Xavier Prou) was born in Paris in 1951. Thought by many to be the father of stencil graffiti as an art form, Blek began his unique, complex and intelligent stencil works on the streets of Paris in the 1980s. Hugely influential to the present generation of street artists Blek's work bridges the gap between underground street art and the mainstream art world.

The Leonard Street Gallery is delighted to announce Blek’s first UK solo exhibition featuring iconic images from the last 3 decades. The exhibition aims to give a complete overview of Blek’s work and to give the current interest in street art a historical context.

Rae Martini

Martedì 10 ottobre 2006, alle ore 19, la Galleria Antonio Battaglia inaugura la personale di Rae Martini, autodidatta, milanese, è uno dei precursori del graffiti writing in Italia. In mostra una serie inedita di quadri dal sapore puramente informale. Un lavoro atipico per un giovane, ma nel caso di Rae, legato alla sua provenienza di arte stradale e quindi sui muri che ricordano appunto le superfici di questi quadri dove l’artista centra tutto sulla materia e le sue evoluzioni giocando con delle sorta di ossidazioni ottenute dalla sovrapposizione di velature a strati di vernici. In questo nuovo ciclo di opere il colore è presente solo in alcuni punti lasciando spazio a grandi campiture di neri di grigi e di bianchi rendendo delle composizione molto rigorose e allo stesso tempo cariche di energia pittorica.

Rae Martini è nato a Milano nel 1976 dove vive e lavora. Alla fine degli anni ottanta, affascinato dalle prime contaminazioni giunte in Italia del fenomeno Writing Newyorkese, (comunemente conosciuto come Graffiti), comincia a disegnare i primi sketch su carta e poi le prime Tags, seguendo la cultura dei capiscuola newyorkesi Phase 2, Kase 2, Dondi White, A-one, Futura 2000, Rammelzee.

Fu l’inizio della sua missione vitale e infinita passione per il wildstyle, lo studio, progettazione ed evoluzione della struttura della lettera e quindi della scrittura, mirato a dipingere illegalmente per strada nel contesto della cultura dei Graffiti una vera e propria sfida creativa positiva con gli altri writers. Dal 2003 sviluppa questo nuovo ciclo di astrazione gestuale che apre una nuova fase e chiude quella dei graffiti.

IN OR OUT ?

new work by ADAM NEATE, RON ENGLISH and JOSE PARLA

THE EXHIBITION brings together three artists, two from New York and one from London. The title of the show directly relates to the nature of their work, as all three artists have not only have made successful transitions to the International gallery scene but also continue to work on the streets; operating both inside and outside the system.

THE GALLERY specialises in counter-culture and urban artists and is one of the leading proponents of this genre of art; The artists involved in this movement of art are the first to have come solely 'off the streets' something which happened decades ago in the fields of fashion and music. We have been working with artists from this area for 16 years, and represent some of the most important international artists in this field.

THE ARTISTS

JOSE PARLA was born in Miami into a family of Cuban exiles, and moved to Puerto Rico at a very early age before returning to Miami again when he was nine. He currently lives and works in New York, and only recently travelled to Cuba for the first time. His work reflects his life and the wanderings of today's urban populations, with their migrations and upheavals. Parlá is concerned with the way that cities function as palimpsests, upon which the experiences of those who pass through them are materially inscribed in decay, in writing, and in the well-worn paths of their inhabitants. His materials and methods of work owe much to architectural construction: cement, wood, vinyl as well traditional art materials like paper, paint, powdered dye, wax, and ink. Parlá describes his work as memory documents; leading these ideas to form a personal philosophy of his work he calls Contemporary Palimpsests. Each painting bears the name of the location or experience from which it draws its source.

ADAM NEATE is a young British artist who became best known for leaving his work in streets. He either hangs his extraordinary cardboard paintings and canvases on existing nails , or simply propped against lampposts for people to find. Over the years he has left over 4000 individually painted pieces on the streets of London alone. His new paintings, which he has been developing recently are powerful portraits, using recycled cardboard boxes as canvases, torn and stapled, creating layers of colour and texture. A new range of t.shirts and clothing from PRADA features Adam's skilful line drawings and paintings.

RON ENGLISH has pirated over one thousand billboards over the last twenty years, replacing existing advertisements with his own hand-painted "subvertisements.". He is widely recognized in the art world as one of the earliest and most celebrated in a line of "culture jammers" - people who usurp the images of advertising and turn them on their head. In the past, his ridicule has been directed at Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Disney and the cigarette companies, to name a few. One of his most famous lampoonings, from 1999, featured what looked like the Apple Computers logo, the message "Think Different," and a portrait of Charles Manson. It loomed over East 14th Street for about two months. He revels in taking on the establishment, tearing down corporate icons, and unravelling social constructs. His works on canvas, exhibited in this exhibition, contain an equally biting commentary whilst being flawlessly painted in a hyper-real style. His paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide and his work included in prominent collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Paris and the Whitney Museum in New York.

101: UN HAPPENING. UNA FABBRICA.

7-8 OTTOBRE 2006 ZONA MILANO

101 è la resurrezione di un angolo dimenticato. Una resurrezione attuata nel segno dell'arte e della creatività. Un'arte non convenzionale, quella a cui la grande città scintillante non da spazi. Abbiamo scelto di non rimanere nel silenzio aspettando che qualcuno si accorga di noi.

101 nasce dalle periferie di Milano, dove la stinta metropoli si confonde nel bianco cielo, dove irte gru arrugginite si arrampicano come artigli. Si ode solo lo sferragliare dei treni sullo sfondo. Binari che segnano direzioni. Limiti da valicare. Cancelli da oltrepassare. Superfici da dipingere. Muri da far vibrare.

Vogliamo far rivivere una fabbrica abbandonata che sonnecchia nel pulviscolo, svegliarla coi colori e le luci, farla pulsare di arte. Fotografia, video, pittura, scultura, installazioni, performances,suoni e rumori.

Prima che venga cancellata per sempre dalle ruspe. Prima che la città che va veloce si dimentichi di questi luoghi.

Per un giorno ci riappropriamo di una fabbrica, per rendergli il nostro tributo artistico. L'ultimo gioioso saluto dell'arte alla polvere.

Dov'è 101? Il luogo verrà comunicato al pubblico solo 24 ore prima dell'evento.

101 è una collettiva aperta a chiunque. Se sei interessato, contatta:

Henry CHALFANT "BURNERS"

Française

After "Art is not a crime" in 2004, Henry Chalfant is back in Paris for "Burners", his new exhibition at the Willem Speerstra gallery. Is it necessary to introduce the artist ? Co-author of Subway Art [Henry Chalfant & Martha Cooper, Subway Art, Thames & Hudson, 1984] and Spray Can Art [Henry Chalfant & James Prigoff, Spray Can Art, Thames & Hudson, 1987], co-producer of the movie Style Wars [Tony Silver, Style Wars, 1983, published on DVD by Plexifilm], he is the man who has revealed New York Graffiti to the world. "Burners" are forty photographies of window down burners [pieces painted under the windows] taken by the photographer in the beginning of the Eighties in New York and selected from the hundreds that form his collection. Some of them were never exhibited before.

His selection is simply astonishing. Every style is represented, in an explosion of flow and colours adorned with tags, commentaries and dedications to discover on the cars. The master's photographs, which give a fantastic reproduction of the subways' patinas and, on some of them, let see the rhythm of the environment, are magnificent. Thanks to Henry Chalfant, once again, it is a considerable part of the Graffiti adventure that is given to us to see and admire. A rare moment, not to be missed.

"Reflections"

Brett Cook (Dizney)

During the early-80s global Hip - Hop explosion, Brett Cook was a teenage graffiti writer in San Diego, California, developing a unique style that highlighted characters instead of the classic letter imagery. While studying zoology, education, and fine art at UC Berkeley in the 1980s and early 1990s Cook was further influenced by the dynamic Bay Area graffiti art, community art, and non-for-profit art space cultures that were vibrant during that time. Under the tag "Dizney", he painted important, topical murals that commented on homelessness, apartheid, and racism. His street art and public persona became so wrapped together that his tag became part of his name: Brett Cook-Dizney. From 1994 to 2005 Brett developed an active art, teaching, and activist career based on the east coast and abroad. Brett returns to White Walls for the first solo exhibition of his work in the Bay Area in over a decade.

"The Left Hand Path" by Doze Green

"Cataclysmic Mayhem...Capturing the Feelings of the Modern World" by Andrew Schoultz

The Left Hand Path--- the incredible paintings of Doze Green, which used to be found only on the walls and the subways of NYC in the 70's, is now recognized and acclaimed in everywhere--from here to Japan and Europe. In his solo show "The Left Hand Path," his works translate complex metaphysical concepts through his paintings, such as the possible manipulation of energy and matter to create a timeless space.

Cataclysmic Mayhem...Capturing the Feelings of the Modern World---Andrew Schoultz focuses on capturing an overall mood. For 9 years, he was traveling around the US, which he says has brought him larger perspectives toward human, nature and the everyday life. In this particular exhibition, you will find connotations and literal references of modern day events relate to a larger perspective of human emotions.

COLLABRO

an art show about shared space and cooperation co-curated by Poor Al

Opening Reception- First Friday September 1
8pm til late, free and open to the public

Music by Be Brave Bold Robot

A collection of rare collaborative art pieces created by 88 participating artists. The Collabro group show aims to define a moment of the urban art movement, a movement met with evolutionary strides in ideas, composition and esthetic. In this contemporary art progression, artists are encouraged to break hard-line, uncompromising work conventions and instead progress with each other, as evidenced in the cooperative elements of street murals. For Collabro the artists have joined their separate art forms on shared canvas space, providing exceptional opportunities in what can be called an "ego share."

Anno Domini is proud to be the host of the Bay Area version of this exhibit and has curated an additional 20 A.D. affiliated artists to participate. It was shown in Los Angeles this past May and has plans to move onto other cities across the U.S. over the next year.

Gallery Hours: Tues thru Sat., Noon - 8pm

COLLABRO participating artists: Joshua Petker, Alex Pardee, Robert Bowen, Lesley Reppeteaux, Poor Al, John Michael Gill, Sophia Pottish, Scott Saw, Peter Taylor, Axis, Greg "Craola" Simkins, Isaac Pierro, Jophen Stein, Tim McCormick, Sylvia Ji, Len Croskey, Michele Waterman, Daryll Peirce, Gustaf Rooth, The Mac, Siloette, Luiki, John Stuart Berger, Dave "Persue" Ross, Tina Anderson, Kim Scott, Downtimer, Casey O'Connell, Tristan Eaton, Neko, That Kid Peep, Mike Maxwell, C.

a benefit for THE MORE THINGS STAY THE SAME
a film by Marc Moscato

the evening features:
Bill Daniel in person to present "WHO IS BOZO TEXINO?"
Morgan Mullen lecturing on "WILDMEN, WOBBLIES & WHISTLEPUNKS"
Michael Ismerio (old time fiddle hootenanny)
+ MC Wamu

Tuesday, September 12th, 7:30PM
Liberty Hall, 311 N Ivy St
http://www.liberty-hall.org/location.html

$5 donation

THE MORE THINGS STAY THE SAME is a work-in-progress focusing on Dr. Ben Reitman and Great Depression Chicago. Best known as lover and press agent to anarchist Emma Goldman, Reitman was also known as Chicago's clap doctor, self-appointed "King of the Hoboes" and "the most vulgar man in America". He maintained an unconventional medical practice, working with hoboes, prostitutes, the poor and other outcasts of capitalist society, performing abortions and offering birth control, both of which were illegal at the time. Marc Moscato, who has been researching the topic for the last two years, will present a short talk and video clip revealing a fascinating but forgotten era of free speech, women's reproductive rights and a lost but vital counterculture.

Morgan Mullen, a local historian, will follow with a brief talk entitled "WILDMEN, WOBBLIES & WHISTLEPUNKS: Lowbrow Counterculture in the Northwest" and provide a rundown of hoboedom in the Northwest, the relationship between hoboes & the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World), the genesis of the Beatnik movement in Portland and how it all relates to the present. Mullen will also talk about Portland's Stewart Holbrook (1893-1964) who became a leading American journalist and historian by writing what he called "lowbrow" or "non-stuffed shirt history." Holbrook's writings reflect his sympathy for and romanticizing of loggers and other workers, underdogs, visionaries and fanatics, his interest in the humorous and offbeat, and his penchant for puncturing myths and poking fun at hypocrites from all walks of life.

Also screening is Bill Daniel's WHO IS BOZO TEXINO? (www.billdaniel.net) a twenty-years in the making film about hobo and railworker graffiti. While gathering interviews and discovering clues to the identities of many of the most legendary boxcar artists, Daniel discovered a vast underground folkloric practice that has existed with little notice for over a century. Today these drawings live on as a new breed of hobos have taken to the rails and kept the tradition of moniker chalking alive. Since completing the film in June last year, Daniel has been on the road, wowing audiences of punks, geezers, folkies, foamers and graffiti toughs all over the nasty ol usa.

Providing music is the old time fiddlin' of Michael Ismerio and MC Wamu is the special mystery surprise Master of Ceremonies. All are welcome.

Graffiti at Brooklyn Museum

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

The Brooklyn Museum presents Graffiti, an exhibition of twenty large-scale works from such influential artists as Michael Tracy ("Tracy 168"), Melvin Samuels, Jr. ("NOC 167"), Sandra Fabara ("Lady Pink"), Chris Ellis ("Daze"), and John Matos ("Crash"). Graffiti explores how a genre that began as a form of subversive public communication has become legitimate -- moving away from the street and into private collections and galleries.

Graffiti is organized by Charlotta Kotik, Curator and Chair, Department of Contemporary Art.

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

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

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

Le Z Show

Madoc, ONT, Canada: August 19, 2006

Don't Call Me Dude

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

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

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

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

WE B*GIRLZ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Recent Oil Paintings

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

Porto Alegre, Brazil: July and August, 2006

CORTIZZA

a Felipe Yung (aka FLIP) exhibition at Galeria Adesivo

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

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

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

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

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

Richard Colman continues his personal mythology with a new series of paintings entitled Come to Me. Along with his signature imagery of Victorianesque men and women, coffins, hooded minions and chandeliers, Colman introduces new iconography to his lore: regal lions, beacons of color and reaching hands as if to signify the quest for the sacred and meaningful.

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

Not tree + Not sky = Brick

By Jinpow

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

The Hip Hop Film Festival

An educational and entertaining experience in the Flint Cultural Center featuring art, music, and 9 movies!

The influence of Hip Hop is pervasive in the music, art, literature, fashion and films of American culture and grows stronger every year. Touring in the U.S. and abroad throughout the year, The Hip Hop Film Festival showcases progressive urban cinema that addresses social and individual responsibility while countering the apathy, cynicism and violence so pervasive in society today. For years many Hip Hop artists have worked to transcend old stereotypes and to represent a set of positive, progressive values. The HHFF serves as a dedicated forum in which these values -- and the people who live by them -- can be celebrated, examined, and understood. For more information, please visit: http://www.hiphopfilmfestival.com

Meera Lee Sethi's exhibit Lickety Split features photographs of street art, often ephemeral, sometimes transgressive, always strikingly original fragments of urban culture.

In addition to documenting the phenomenon that is street art via photographs, Meera also brings a voice to the artists themselves by including their words and views, as they share their perspectives on their work, its origins, its meaning, and its subversive humor.

Please join us for the opening reception with the artist on Saturday, July 8 from 7-9 pm at

ELMS LESTERS PAINTING ROOMS
1-3-5 FLITCROFT STREET
LONDON
WC2H 8DH
nearest tube: Tottenham Court Road

One of London's foremost galleries specialising in international counter-culture exhibitions.

This mixed exhibition will present an exciting, diverse and vibrant selection of work by five international artists.

As with many artists shown here at Elms Lesters, each of these five artists has been involved / is still involved in the urban art scene. The transition of artists' work from the street to galleries is a phenomenon which is increasingly focussing the attention of both press and collectors worldwide to this burgeoning underground scene.

THE ARTISTS:

SPACE INVADER, the elusive French guerilla artist, has 'invaded' globally with his mosaic tile Space Invader pixel figures over the last ten years. Affixed to walls and structures on every continent, they decay with the city at their own pace ... in essence a living piece of art that exists and ages with its surroundings.

Maps plot and record their positions from Times Square NY to the HOLLYWOOD sign in LA, from Tokyo to Bangkok, Mombasa to Dhaka, London to Ljubljana. "RUBIKCUBISM" is a new development in SPACE INVADER'S work. His tile mosaic concept has evolved and expanded to include the untraditional use of Rubik's cubes, inspired by the mathematics of its colour combinations and the simple fact that it's a game.

DALEK (James Marshall) was born in Connecticut, USA, moving to Chicago in his twenties. The first of his 'SPACE MONKEY' characters emerged in 1995 has has become an integral part of his work since, and the trigger of fascination that has fuelled Dalek's success in fine art, commercial work, and toy design. After moving to New York, he became an assistant to the artist Takashi Murakami.

DELTA (Boris Telegen) is based in Holland.

"A pioneer in the European graffiti scene since 1983, Delta's unique three-dimensional style has garnered him the status of an auteur, with an immediately recognisable aesthetic which no longer requires the tag Delta. Convoluted futuristic forms of bullet-proof precision and symmetry, twist and turn to the dynamic free-flow of graffiti art.

His current portfolio includes works on canvas, murals, collage, print, sculpture, motion graphics,product design and 3D constructivist pieces reminiscent of the Bauhaus or even of Russian Constructivism.

ADAM NEATE became best known for leaving his work in streets. He either hangs his extraordinary cardboard paintings and canvases on existing nails, or simply propped against lampposts for people to find. Over the years he has left over 4000 individually painted pieces on the streets of London alone.

ANDREW McATTEE's paintings are a mixture of elements selected from comic books, cartoons, magazines, art and aerosol art.

The spray can is an example of a post world war II product that was originally conceived as a tool for general household use. Through the use of the chiaroscuro technique, and classical and modern influences, this body of work seeks to recognize the spray can as an artistic medium. Furthering the nature of the aerosol can medium, used for industry and vandalism, OILSOL IS an icon for the fusion of art and technology. As such, it is a form of modern art.

The fusion of art and technology continues with the use of the computer-based and traditional painting. Fusion of these elements separates the work artists create today from the work of the masters. The master's standards being as important now, as they where then. The main principle in correlation to painting and the computer-based art is the creation of order with chaos. E.g. the digital collage. What if Andy Warhol or M.C Escher used Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator Tools an artist can use to push the envelope that much further. We are living in a digital, information age, where technology grows by the day. Thus raising the standard concept, quality and quantity of the work, artists produce today.

Aided by computer based design layouts and constructed with various art mediums, such as oil, acrylic and spray paint. Rahmanns subject matter ranges from figure studies to human nature and politics. The goal is to break the preconceived ideas of what most may think aerosol art is, thus displaying the difference between aerosol art and graffiti.

SUNIL PAWAR

FULL FORCE!

The Brick Lane Gallery presents a selection of recent paintings by Sunil Pawar, aka Slingshot London - marking the first collaboration between the gallery and the renowned painter, illustrator and Dj.

At the age of fifteen, London-born Sunil, who was surrounded and influenced by the music of sound systems and pirate radio stations, skipped school one afternoon, and walked into the offices of Soul II Soul in Camden Town with a bag full of paintings - he sold every one of them. Seventeen years later and painting and Djing are still a strong element in his life.

Sunil's art echoes the world of Dj culture, sound system clashes and graffiti art, painting on found materials using a bold mixture of spraypaints, stencils and acrylics. His paintings are as loud and bold as the music that inspired them - Pawar achieves a balance between imposing, graphic images and lyrical abstraction, demonstrating his mastery of color and composition in these sizable works.

Sunil was featured in the book "Stencil Graffiti" by Tristan Manco and regularly appears in exhibitions, magazines and books worldwide. He is currently collaborating with Junya Watanabe / Comme Des Garcons Tokyo.

Propaganda examines contemporary political and social issues through the lens of contemporary graffiti artists and graffiti documentarians. Graffiti has existed since the days of ancient civilization and many will attest to its prehistoric origins. The evolution of the art form can be traced back to cave painting, believed to be the work of elders and shaman. Propaganda presents graffiti‚s progression and social pertinence, exhibiting exciting imagery that challenges the imagery of the status quo.

Brainstorm Issue #4 Call for Arts

We seek something else, because life is something else.

This comes from IRAN and PALESTINE, inviting all you Artists and social rebels around the world to hel and support with your works and ideas.It's late, we must stand and cry to stop those who lie about our people, culture and identity. We are unite and want you to cooperate and give us your response. No imperialism! No capitalism!! No BBC and no CNN. We want no more lies about us!!

The minority is right, dont doubt. And BBC tells lies. All the official and govermental NEWS agencies tell lies even about Art! We, the young Iranian and Palestinian artists ask all the young artists and creators wordwide to make an effort to publish this issue. In our Dreams, We Wanna Make it Clear That THey are lying, because they have the media in their hands.They lie about nations, they make the 3rd world and they advertise it in contrast with their material world. Lets focus on the real aspects "the contrast with their Material world," becuse they seek Money, because they advertise money around the world and because they kill for money.

Art is completely apart from politics, hence it's closely associated with Humanity and mankind.

We call for all the artists' cooperation. Nobody will receive any money or suchlike for the collaboration. We would like to share the fragile and beaufiful humanistic aspects of our souls to celebrate the real rule of an artist regardless of their relgion, nationality, race, gender and any other man-made obstacles.

Artists and Writers
All sorts of media that can be represented on the Web such as paintings, video, music, literary texts, poems, short transcripts, graphic and illustrations, urban art, graffiti and photography.

HERE I SIT...

opening Saturday June 24, 2006 7-Midnight

Miami June 2006 - Faktura Gallerys HERE I SIT brings together an unlikely selection of artists, ranging from graffiti outlaws to self-proclaimed sell-out graphic designers, in a group show that asks: How low can we go. In an experiment using the great equalizer, human beings one form of production shared by all, the throne of kinds and serfs: the toilet seat.

HERE I SIT invites over twenty-five artists to take on the issues of anonymity, public vs. private space, the need for vandalism, communication with an unknown viewer, the feeling of immediacy and private interaction in a show consisting of revamped toilet seats exhibited in the public arena of a contemporary art space. The show also raises questions about the popular intersection of the underground appeal of graffiti art, the sell-out appeal of commercial art, and the continued commodification of graffiti being sold as Lowbrow art.

The line-up includes: AHOLSNIFFSGLUE, TYPOE, DS363, KOMBYN, Jacquelyn Jackson Johnston, DAMCREWULTRA, SINER, ANDREW the sociopath, FISIK, AEON, FA1LURE, RUEN, JOEY EXPLODE, MERDER, CARE CHIMBA, LEVEL 3, MARK, GONZ, DISEM, HAPS, JUNE, P DOUBLE, SPECIES, air, Angela Roell, IVONNE SCHMALBACH, KENNY SHAZ HARRIS.

FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DE GRAFFITI KOSMOPOLITE EDITION 2006 A BAGNOLET

Du 8 juin au 11 juin 2006 nous fêtons les 5 ans du festival Kosmopolite, un jeune anniversaire plus symbolique que commémoratif. Par les temps qui courent, un festival d'expression plastique urbain (graffitis, street art, installations, musiques.) implanté à Bagnolet dans le département de la Seine-Saint-Denis (93) est plus qu'un symbole, c'est une identité culturelle forte et universelle.

Au delà du discours « bon graff, mauvais tag » et des polémiques sécuritaires, aux amalgames douteux entretenus et non justifiés, le festival Kosmopolite demeure une vitrine sur la création contemporaine actuelle avec un attachement particulier à l'art urbain sous toutes ses formes artistiques. Cette année le festival Kosmopolite diversifie sa programmation pour mettre en avant de nouvelles initiatives.

Cette année nous accueillons les représentants du Harlem HALL of FAME de New York (inédit en France). Une exposition leur est dédiée et ils participeront également à la réalisation de la grande fresque murale en compagnie des autres artistes invités.

Elément phare du festival, la grande fresque murale (400 m2) sera mise à disposition d'une trentaine d'artistes de la scène française et internationale (Etats-Unis, Allemagne, Scandinavie, Suisse, Nouvelle-Zélande).

Riviera is pleased to present a group exhibition of Japanese artists

In You

Opening Reception:
Thursday May 25th 7-10pm

In Japanese, 'In You' means 'Shadow and Light' 'Black and White' 'Man and Woman' 'Inside and Outside'. . . the opposite thing. For this exhibition, the artists Matzu-MTP, Himaa, Mustone, Tadaomi Shibuya and Hiroki Tsukuda are creating 2 paintings each, interpreting the theme 'In You'.

Artists: Matzu-MTP, Himaa, Mustone, Tadaomi Shibuya and Hiroki Tsukuda. These Japanese artists (all around 30 years old) have been influenced by their generation's new culture such as comics and computer games and urban western culture. They have each evolved their own unique style that also includes japanese cultural and traditional infulences.

Matzu-MTP interprets the contemporary art movement by applying Japanese techniques and sensibility to his large-scale paintings through brush strokes and iconographies, as well as color palette and the use of negative space.

Himaa's work is so simple and reveals the beauty in daily life. He is a dedicated craftsman who draws the special moments freehand, without the aid of a straight edge or ruler.

Mustone is influenced by comics style. He calls it 'Sequential Art' which express and crossovers between cartoon and art. In addion to paper media, it's expressed in various forms like applications on walls and fusion media. His original pop style also contains complicated stories.

Tadaomi Shibuya's work looks like it was computer generated, but it's drawn by hand.  His current style is greatly influenced by the lines and silhouettes of manmade things such as robot anime, engineered products and written characters in addition to breakbeat and hiphop.

Hiroki Tsukuda's work consists of all one world outlook in his mind.The landscape and creatures whom he often draw are the entire sceneries and residents in the world.

Collision: Jahan x Crash

Opening reception: 11 May

Venue: The Esplanade Singapore

Taking centrestage at the Esplanade from May -June will be two collaborative exhibitions entitled Collision and Collision II by celebrated artist and pioneer of the urban art movement, Crash, and Singapore's own talent, Jahan Loh.

Crash, whose work was first discovered through the murals he spray painted on subway cars, basketball courts and walls of buildings in dilapidated neighbourhoods, is now exhibited by museums worldwide, from his native Museum of Modern Art, NY to the Groninger Museum in Holland.

Jahan, probably more recognised in the urban art community as Dazed-J, has achieved phenomenal success within a few short years. A recipient of the Singapore Press Holdings Fine Arts scholarship, he was also the winner of the 1st Nokia Arts Award in 1999. Today, he is Creative Director for MACHI Entertainment in Taiwan and has recently created designs for Nike, Vestax, Adidas and Nokia.

Their provocative installation, Collision, will beat the Esplanade Concourse from 28 April - 25 June (Sat- Sun). This commissioned piece is a visual exploration of the daily imagery that fuels our contemporary consumer culture.

A salute to pop and comic art, Collision II, held at Jendela (Visual Arts Space) from 12 May-25 June, explores the theme of Superheroes. The exhibition showcases work from Crash's Second Skin Series, based on the Super hero's costumes, and Jahan's individual take on Asian Super Heroes. This common theme has inspired unique responses from the artists, both equally witty, irreverent and compelling.

9th Annual Hip Hop Appreciation Week

Since 1998 the third week in May has become a time to reflect upon our roles as citizens of the international Hip Hop community and to recommit ourselves to Hip Hop's core principles of peace, love, unity and safely having fun!

In the past we've reflected upon such themes as; Faith (2005), Freedom (2004), Forgiveness (2003), Charity (2002) and Peace (2001). This year (2006) our theme is "ACTION". And with all of our themes "Action" shall be the focus of our lectures, writings and events for 2006. We are urging ALL Hiphoppas to consider their actions as well as their inaction. Consider how your actions and/or inaction may be affecting others. Consider the results of your past actions and seek ways to improve or lessen such "actions" in the future.

Be active! Walk more. Exercise more. Speak out more! Think more! But also remember that "inaction" is indeed an action as well. Silence is also an activity. Rest and stillness are also activities. Fasting from food, sex, gossip, war, drugs and the needless spending of money are also "actions". The point is to be conscious of your "actions" this year.

The Art of Gaming

Part of the huge upcoming E3 electronic gaming convention in LA will showcase the talents of urban artists applied to both Xbox 360 and PSP faceplates. The exhibition sponsored by Pelican will be located in the West Hall of the LA Convention center in Room 505 from May 10th to 12th during E3. Seen, Futura, Ewok, Swank, Eyeone, Misk, Vulcan, apex, BG, Asylm, Sket, more.

The exhibition will also feature live painting by Swank, Eyeone, Ed Rico, Kyle Tomas and Eric Orr.  Gaming is a huge part of our culture and so it's only fitting that it provides yet another canvas for artistic expression.  While the I-am 8-bit show featured art based on video games, this event is about video game systems as art.

E3 is an industry-only event and not open to the public. [Maybe you can find a way in, but if not, more shows are promised in the future TBA.]

Phil Frost 2006

The Jack Shainman gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of Phil Frost. As a self-taught artist who gained wide recognition for his graffiti work very early in his career, Frost makes paintings and sculptures that usually are a result of collaging and layering of images, along with the formation of hand-made, often symmetrical black and white patterns. These patterns, which are created with painstaking detail and using correction fluid as a medium,

Scion Road Trip

The 10-day Road Trip, promising to be a 21st century Kerouac-esque adventure, kicks off May 1st in Los Angeles when renowned street artists David Choe, Saber, Kempton Parker, Sam Flores, Matt Gordan and Ryan Shook hit the road with a busload of funk musicians following right behind. En route, the street artists will stop in various cities to create one of a kind pieces on desolate highway billboards while the Rhythm Roots All-Stars play venues in selected cities, including San Diego (5/2), Austin (5/4) and New Orleans (5/7). The tour also makes stops in El Paso and Dallas. A videographer, photographer and two journalists will be on hand to document the paint-soaked, amped-up journeys of these traveling artists.

The Road Trip finishes with a bang as it rolls into New Orleans on May 6th for Jazz Fest 2006. To end things on an unforgettable high, additional artists, including the infamous Femi Kuti, will collaborate with the Rhythm Roots All-Stars for a grand finale performance event. All proceeds from the events, including ticket sales, are donated to Habitat for Humanitys', Tipitina's Foundation , a non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting the music community of New Orleans.

Miss Van's latest series of dolls have come straight from her imagination that is saturated with provocative emotions. But where does the inspiration come from for these nymphs? They are increasingly equivocal, oscillating between and certain naivety and excitement, each playing on their own undeniable charms. They seduce the spectator and draw them into a visual exploration of the female form, with its joys, its pleasures and pains.

Essex UK: April 20 - May 11, 2006

Pieces

One of the UK's most acclaimed and groundbreaking Graffiti Art photographers Dark Daze is exhibiting in his highest profile show to date. The 'Pieces' show is a celebration of Urban and Graffiti Art from its inception in the late 70s up to the present day.

Dark Daze, a member of the RareKind family, is the UK's most notable documenters of Graffiti culture and is exhibiting along side American photographer Martha Cooper, the pioneer of the Graffiti photography genre and collaborator on the most renowned Graffiti art book of all time "Subway Art".

Running from the 20th April to 11th May at the University of Essex Gallery, "Pieces" will encapsulate and showcase the story of graffiti art through the decades. Dark Daze's contribution include his large scale portrait shots of some of the most illusive Graffiti artists in the UK alongside his video installation in which he explores the ideas behind his work and interviews the artists he has photographed. The collaboration of these two masters is set to be an unmissable show.

"Martha Cooper's work has been an inspiration for me for many years. But the more I became interested in urban life and architecture the more I realised the value of her work not just inside the hip-hop community but in Western society as a whole" Says Dark Daze "Her work with Dondi in particular is, I think incredibly important, and she led the way in exposing the art and culture of Graffiti. I think nowadays because we have grown so used to seeing those iconic images we tend to forget the risks she took involving herself in this culture, and being one of the pioneers that took Hip-Hop culture to the world. To be included in an expo with someone who was one of the founding reasons I became involved in photography is an amazing privilege"

As well as the artwork on display, the Pieces exhibition will also include memorabilia, cultural and social events through the exhibition including a live graffiti event inside the Gallery, film screening, seminars and workshops.

Laura Ball + Andrew Schoultz

Opening Reception: Thursday, April 6, 6-8pm

Morgan Lehman is pleased to present the work of Laura Ball and Andrew Schoultz in both artists, first New York debut. Hailing from San Francisco, the artists create fantastical narratives with underlying elements of political awareness. The works on view confront issues including femininity, community, domination, and war. These topics are represented in each artist's own artistic style: Laura Ball guides us through an exploration of her dream-like, beautifully crafted watercolors; and Andrew Schoultz expresses his ideals with his explosive, obsessive mark-making techniques.

TERRATAG presents Ukiyo Graff
The exhibition will be a presentation of work that is an interplay between Japanese Ukiyo-e painting and Graffiti. Working in aerosol, marker pens, acrylic paint and gold leaf the work will be a storm of colour and tsunami of pattern.

Also on show: Co-Lab Series 3
Last year Terratag and Cable Street teamed up to produce Co-Lab T-shirts. Series 1 and Series 2 were limited to four designs, of which only 20 were printed of each.  With Co-Lab Series 3 we wanted to up the ante and decided to open up this project to artists from all over the world. With all the entries in and after much deliberation seven designs were chosen.... These will be revealed at the show. Each design will be available as art prints and T-shirts.... Only 50 of each.

Free booze from our sponsor Tiger Beer and, for the first 20 people to arrive, Terratag T-shirts. Plus, a treat for your ears.... All the way from Japan - Scratch DJ Haruka.

The 2006 Whitney Biennial, the national signature survey of contemporary American art, is please to screen the feature documenary "This Land Is Your Land" featuring: Jim Hightower, Doris Å_ranny D_Haddock, Marc Kasky, Thom Hartmann, Naomi Klein, Jack Newfield, George Robinson, Father Tryphon, Pedro Carvajal, Ron English, and many others.

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND is a startling and often hilarious exploration of the overwhelming corporate takeover of American life. Over the course of three years, the filmmakers traveled across the U.S., interviewing award-winning authors, historians, media commentators and ordinary citizens about the wide range of ways individuals and society at large experience this impact.

The film weaves together an array of subjects-- branding and consumerism, media conglomeration, political kickbacks and the largest economic gap between the rich and the poor in the United States since the 1920ÃÔ--shedding light on the ways corporations have seeped into every corner of peopleÃÔ personal lives.

When: Sunday, April 1st, 2006 at 2 PM and Saturday, April 29th at 2 PM

Where: Whitney Museum of American Art, 945 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10021

The 2007 Whitney Biennial was organized by Chrissie Iles, curator, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Philippe Vergne, senior curator of visual arts at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and recently been named director of the new Fran¡œis Pinault Foundation for Contemporary Art in Paris. The Whitney Biennial has become the most important survey of the state of contemporary art in America today.

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

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

The POPaganda DVD street release date is Tuesday, March 28th, 06. Find it at Blockbuster, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com.

Le Street Art S'Affiche A Lyon

Le 16 mars, un lieu unique en son genre ouvrira ses portes à Lyon. A partir de 19h, au 2, rue du Romarin, venez découvrir la Galerie N2O !

La volonté de cet espace est de diffuser l‚art contemporain issu du graffiti et du street art dans la ville de Lyon.

Pour l‚inauguration, l'artiste présentera une exposition composée de toiles personnelles et photographies de body painting : « Condensation ».

S‚inscrivant dans la lignée des jeunes galeries avant-gardistes des capitales mondiales, la Galerie N2O a pour vocation de soutenir les « street-artistes » face à un milieu s‚ouvrant à peine à leur discipline.

Thomas Canto y exposera divers talents, exprimant leurs visions de l'évolution de l‚univers du graff et de l‚art de rue. Explorant celui-ci sur différents supports et thèmes, la Galerie N2O se base sur la transversalité et la pluralité qui caractérisent aujourd‚hui la création contemporaine.

Si vous voulez découvrir plus amplement le travail de l'artiste allez visiter son blog : http://spaces.msn.com/t-canto/ , en attendant l'ouverture très prochaine: http://www.denseart.org/

Walk / The Umbrella Art Auction / Photo Opportunity

Walk

Julie Dowling, Shaun Tan and Stormie Mills auction their painted umbrellas, the money raised going to Oxfam Australia's Walk against Want

Stormie Mills is one of Australia's most recognised graffiti artists. His work has been exhibited on many walls indoors and out in the United States of America, United Kingdom, Europe and throughout Australia with his most recent exhibition "Letters First" held in Hollywood, USA. In 2002, Stormie was selected to tour Greece as part of the "Chromopolis" Mural Tour Cultural Olympiad. Stormie has a distinctive style and his work has a place in national and international collections.

All three artists have painted individual umbrella's that will be primed for the bidding at the Umbrella Art Auction to take place at 10.40am. All proceeds from the auction will go towards Oxfam Australia's long-term development projects in over 20 countries globally and within Indigenous Australia to address HIV/AIDS, gender equality, breaking the cycle of poverty and independent maturity and decision making within developing countries.

The Walk begins at Burswood Park at 8.30am. People who arrive early will be able to enjoy a complimentary healthy breakfast before the energetic walk. After a performance by Wadumbah Aboriginal Dance Group at 8am and a aerobic warm, participants can walk, cycle, or skate their way 7kms around the Swan River. On return to the Park, the Walk's 40th birthday will be celebrated with a festival of live entertainment of an international flavour with a sausage sizzle, family fun activities (including face painting, aromatherapy, massages, and reflexology), food and market stalls and performances by Storme and the Weathermen and Zydecats. Keep an eye out as well for autograph sessions and appearances by Perth's favourite TV and sports personalities.

People who bring along their own decorated umbrellas on the day will be in the running for a fantastic prize donated by Art Shed, to win in either the Most Original or Most Colourful category.

To take part in the Walk, people need to register - either free call 1800 034 034 or visit the Oxfam Australia website www.oxfam.org.au/walk.

Auction: 10.40am Sunday 12 March 2006 Burswood Park near the foreshore.

Wall Snatchers

Bask, Eon, Faile, Mister Never, Nick Z, and Tes One

This multi-media exhibit, showcasing graffiti and street art from major cities from around the country (including Boston, New York, and local artists), sheds some light onto graffiti, posing the question, is this controversial art form a nuisance, an art... or both?

"Wall Snatchers" mixes high and low art, combining industrial and architectural themes, elements of urban life, cartoonish non-sequiturs, and politically charged provocations into a complex tapestry of images and murals.

3307 M St., NW, in Georgetown
open Friday 6:00-10:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 12:00-8:00 p.m.

Thoroughfare

The Riviera Gallery is in full bloom. Metal trees and street poles sprout through the grass covered floor. The walls are covered with rolling hills, trees and signs. Ambient birdcalls and sirens fill the air. Some street poles bend and twist with the trees, while others hold street signs aloft. The strict regulations normally found on these signs have been overgrown with playful imagery.

The show is a product of three street artists devoted to altering the cityscape. Leon Reid (AKA Darius Jones) has been acclaimed in the New York Times and Time Magazine for installing sculptures on city streets for years. Andrew Poneros (AKA PORK) has stenciled and postered walls across the globe. Alex Holden works outdoors with hand painted posters and stickers. Together, these artists successfully created a unique environment for their outdoor mediums to coexist within the gallery.

GRIME

THE MAN IN BLACK

Invisible NYC is proud to host, “The Man in Black” a solo-exhibit of mixed-media “silhouetted” self-portraits by Grime. When not on the road, Grime owns and operates the tattoo studio, Art Work Rebels, in San Francisco. While best known for his unique style of tattooing Grime also works relentlessly in other media such as graffiti, smaller works on paper, board, or canvas, and photography. He is an accomplished writer whose autobiographical “Two Year Autopsy”, recounts a period of his life as he travels throughout Europe and the U.S contemplating suicide, love and love lost, loneliness, and his search for self. The book, stunning and dark, recalls the montages of text and imagery of Marshall McLuhan. The work is all the more powerful when one remembers that Grime was heavily scarred in a childhood accident. His physical appearance is integral to the subject matter of his art as well as his approach to any particular medium.

Grime’s work addresses ideals of beauty, banality, consumerism, sex, politics, death, and life. Although his art pieces are not literal self-portraits, he plays with self-image – how he perceives himself as well as how he believes others perceive him – in his always striking, often disturbing work. His gritty subject matter, while varied, is impressed on the viewer by his general use of graphic, unyielding imagery and color - or the pelting prose of his writing. He is an international phenom, a prodigy perhaps not only because of his talent but also as a result of his tireless and successful efforts to infiltrate and expand so many creative venues. His work is highly sought after, shows of his conventional works selling out within minutes. His graffiti works have become destination points all over the world. As a tattooer he is booked at least a year in advance. Although Grime works in numerous artistic avenues each of which influences the others, he never becomes repetitive or tedious and holds each medium to its own, unique standard. For his exhibition at Invisible NYC Grime will show new works, works that are more subtle and contemplative than his earlier bolder and at times grotesque work. They seem to reflect a new stage in his life and creative thrust. This exhibition is a rare opportunity to view his work on the east coast. It is not to be missed.

Hours: Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 8 PM.

Opening reception Thursday February 23rd 7-10 PM.

OUT OF ORDER

Sunday 19 February 2006
The Bin Gallery
105 Harrington Street, East City

11:00 - 16:00

Write or print these simple words onto a small piece of paper, and you are armed with a very effective psychological tool that can temporarily shut down almost every mode or form of machinery, while at the same time communicating a very important message: that the current situation is WELL OUT OF ORDER.

Keep an OUT OF ORDER sign and a small amount of tape or tack with you at all times - you never know when an opportunity will arise for you to quickly & quietly employ this simple tool to make your feelings known - and bring one small corner of the world to a grinding halt.

'Out of Order' a graphic exhibition by eight Cape Town based artists

Peet Pienaar - Daddy buy me a pony
Heidi Pieterson - Daddy buy me a pony
Tyler Murphy - Lead tattoo artist at Wildfire
Maciek Strychalski - boyblack.co.za

RCF1 "DAY AFTER DAY"

"One can't consider the graffiti art territory without mentioning the tag. The signature, the tag, as a daily exercise along ambulations in the city. Urban Tom Thumb. Into repetition, disproportion and sometimes in scorn, as long as one bombs one feels alive. Spraycan tags; marker tags; various inks and pigments mixtures for thousands of markers tips flattened on walls; jean's pocket full of stickers before going out, "just in case".

For this new exhibition I integrated the vein of the daily bombing into my artwork, without decency, between brags and the graphomaniaque psychosis.

Hundreds of tags repeated and packed on preexisting posters pictures as if the city wasn't wide enough to express myself. Day after day : a graffiti diary."

RECEPTION: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 6-8PM

Dates of Exhibition: February 8- March 4, 2006

Gallery Hours: Wed-Saturday, 12-5pm and by appointment

"While Vulcan's street art has graced literally thousands of walls and trains in his native New York over the years, and his artwork appears in pretty much every book on the history of spray can and urban art, the term "graffiti" hardly does his oeuvre justice. Vulcan's murals have shown in museums, his art can be found on platinum-selling album covers, and his abstract canvases hang in countless private and corporate collections...

Vulcan is one of those unique individuals whose creativity both reflects and drives popular culture. He first performed at Harlem's legendary Apollo Theatre when he was five, sang in funk and heavy metal bands, worked for years as a DJ in underground clubs, and produced chart-topping electronic music. He has written for VIBE, chronicled the underground motorcycle stunt scene in New York, traveled the world painting live at hip-hop festivals, spoken at NYU and Yale on the history of urban ...competed in international video game competitions, and is currently working on his second screenplay. Vulcan's art can be found on the walls of Danger Labs and Google in Silicon Valley, and he was recently commissioned by Sun Microsystems to paint live at their Java One conference...."

This is set to be a breath taking and mind-blowing competition - a night not to be missed!

Proceeds from this event will go towards the Asian Earthquake Appeal. Over 87,350 people were killed in the horrendous disaster that struck on 8th October, and as the harsh winter approaches we have the opportunity to make a difference to the lives of millions of families including children who have been left hungry and homeless, who will without our help inevitably die this winter. A reduction of media coverage of this tragedy has lead to a decrease of interest in this cause but these people need our help more then ever right now and every penny counts. Just £42 can buy one WHOLE family a tent to provide them with shelter this winter. So we are asking you to support us on this event and donate something, anything, even if it‚s just a few goodies for our prizes or a bit of help with promotion. In return we will put your logo on 20 000 flyers / email flyer that will go out to over 70 000 students in London and feature on our Breakin‚ Boundaries website which will be launched very soon. You will also be invited down on the night and have access to the VIP lounge with the best view possible of the show.

The Lost Art of Letters: Works of Students & Masters

Hours: Saturday & Sunday from 11-3pm and by appointment.

Opening Reception: February 11, 6 - 10pm

This exhibition features works by the students in programs taught by WOME -- Weapons of Mass _Expression (OASIS High School and the Urban Arts Academy), Royal Crowns (East Oakland Community High) and Kriminal Skills (Urban Promise Academy). An experimental documentary short by Jill Jannusch will also be shown, depicting a montage of the artists' interaction in Oakland's hip-hop movement.

The exhibit opening reception features performances by: Poetry for the People Forensic Science Rico & Panama Seneca

Special Guests: Broke Superheroes & DJ Stepdaddy

Hosted by Ras K'dee with DJ Saurus and DJ Riddm Holdin' Down the Decks

In these times of computers and type faced fonts, the art of letterform is becoming obsolete. On February 11, three schools of East Oakland graffiti writers will demonstrate their mastery of urban calligraphic script developed in the least likely of all places, in the classroom.

What started as scrawling on subways, may be the only study of letters and letterform in modern history. Much as ancient monks developed fonts to transcribe sacred texts that held the secrets to their society, students today incorporate their individual styles and urban imagery into this meticulous practice of lettering.

Paper Politics

An Exhibition of Politically and Socially Engaged Printmaking

Curated by Josh MacPhee

5+5 Gallery
111 Front St., Suite 210
Brooklyn, NY 11201
January 5th-February 19th, 2006
Gallery hours: Sun-Thur 11am-6pm
Opening Thursday Januay 5th, 2006
Artist Reception: 5:00-8:00 pm

5+5 Gallery, in collaboration with Josh MacPhee and justseeds.org, is proud to present a major exhibition of politically and socially engaged printmaking at 5+5 Gallery. The exhibit showcases print art which uses themes of social justice and global equity to engage community members in political conversation. Originally hung in conjunction with Seattle Print Arts at the Phinney Center Gallery in Seattle, the show has been expanded for this Brooklyn engagement to include even more printmakers.

The exhibition features work by over 180 artists from the US and around the world. It is curated by Josh MacPhee, a Troy, NY-based artist, activist and author, most recently of Stencil Pirates: A Global Study of the Street Stencil, published on Soft Skull Press. The exhibition includes work by artists who are primarily activists, as well as artists whose work may not always be politically motivated, but who wanted to respond to the monumental trends and events of our times.

Paper Politics presents a breathtaking tour of the many modalities of printing: relief, intaglio, lithography, silkscreen, collagraph, monotype, photography. In addition to these techniques, we are delighted to include in the show finely crafted stencils and street printing, traditional media used to convey political thought.

A 56-page full-color catalogue documenting the Seattle exhibition will be available for sale at the opening, and online at www.justseeds.org . The catalogue contains all the work in the show, as well as essays by Josh MacPhee and Deborah Caplow, Lecturer in the Division of Art History at the University of Washington, on political art and printmaking.

Zender - Works on Paper

John began his fine art studies at the Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design, printmaking at the University of California Los Angeles and philosophy at Glendale College. While at Otis, John was influenced by the New York art scene, primarily the abstract-graffiti-pop expressionists.

John was one of the many early pioneers that created the Los Angeles graffiti art movement in the early eighties. John recreated himself as Zender (the rising mountain) and had his first one- man show at Otis titled "Zender-Neo _Expression" in 1987. Since then he has been committed to making public art by producing over 300 murals in Los Angeles and throughout the United States.

In 1995 his personal work arrived at a turning point. He began incorporating spirituality into his work. Influenced by Matta, Gorky, Basquiat and the Bible he began painting spiritual themes. Zender keeps his paintings separate from his public work. Most of his works from his early series now reside in private collections.

Cut&Paint: A Stencil Template Zine #2

Once again, Josh MacPhee - Stencil Pirates book, www.justseeds.org Nicolas Lampert www.drawingresistance.org www.machineanimalcollages.com and Colin Matthes www.ideasinpictures.org are putting together a zine of stencil templates. This time around we plan on scaling back the size of the zine a little (legal size folded, so 7" x 8.5"), but to make up for the shrinking size we hope to include a set of die-cut stencil templates with the zine. That's right, pre-cut stencils ready to use!

Like issue #1, most of the zine will be filled with some of the best and most exciting stencil templates out there (black and white stencil images that can be cut out and used), so we're looking for your best stencil template ideas. This time around we're also open to multi-color pieces, so if you are interested send a clean black and white print of each layer, as well as a composite image.

In addition, we would like to expand the rest of the zine, too. This means more in the how-to section, so send along any new tips you've got. We want photos of stencils from your area, we'd like to run a couple spreads of regional stencil action, particularly from places we usually don't hear from. We'll also be including some writing on stencils as well, so if you have any articles you've been working on that deal with stenciling, public space, politics, etc., feel free to submit them.

*All designs should be 7x8 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 and edges as crisp as possible. In order to get a really clean print, you can spray little bit of spray-tack (like light spraymount) on the back of the stencil so it lays flat on the paper.
*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 than just you and your friends! The goal is to have stencil templates that other people will want to use.
*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.)

The best designs will be used for the die-cuts, so send in great stuff and we might make 1000 pre-cut copies of you're stencil! We hope to keep the price at $5 or below, and distribute Cut&Paint #2 much further and wider than #1.

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 Cut&Paint #2 will get a free copy of the zine.

Send templates, photos, and writing to:

53 Third St.

or email hi-res (preferably 600dpi greyscale or 1200dpi line art) templates, photos (300 dpi) or writing to: josh [at] justseeds. org

SCHOOL ZONE

NEW YORK - Martinez Gallery is pleased to present SCHOOL ZONE, a reconsideration of the roles played by art and educational institutions, and of longstanding assumptions about the ways the two interact.

SCHOOL ZONE is an intervention into a New York City public high school classroom, an open process in which artists are given leeway to bring their own ideas and concepts into a space normally reserved only for traditional accoutrements and systems of organization.

Like previous projects organized by Martinez Gallery, this intervention will be undertaken by graffiti artists, and as such aims to challenge even further the seemingly sacred character ascribed to art and to education, which normally only meet in the most academic realms of each field.

Hours: Saturdays Noon - 6:00 PM. Mondays - Fridays by appointment

Gallery Address: Urban Academy [Julia Richmond High School] 317 East 67th Street, Room 222, NYC 10021

For more information about School Zone contact Martinez Gallery at 212-619-2149.

GRAFFITI UPTOWN: YOU CAN'T SHUT US DOWN 2005

October 24, 2005, New York, NY: Graffiti has been around since the early 70's in New York City. Subways were the primary canvas used to express ideas, political statements, anger, fame and love. As the MTA changed its strategy to combat this art form, graffiti artists had to adjust and find new ways to express themselves. Enter the gallery scene.

On Saturday, November, 26th, 2005, James TOP Productions in association with Exhibit 1A Gallery present „Graffiti Uptown: You Can't Shut Us Down 2005‰. In its seventh year, this series is a collection of some of the best graffiti artists, new and established, New York City has to offer. This gallery exhibition is Harlem's consistent and only ode to the world of graffiti and its accomplishments throughout the years. Expect beautiful art, powerful statements and a taste of history from graffiti artists DURO, OUI, STAY HIGH 149, KING BEE, PART, DOMS, KEO, MERES, TROOL22, JamesTOP, STEM, SAGO, DASE, HOPE391, TWO, NZ, JAYRA, DIAL167, DUCE, REE MTA and many others.
