"What's the Magic Word?"

3teeth2002magicwordx.jpg

* San Francisco: November 7 - December 7, 2002

Reception for the Artists: Thursday, November 7 6pm - 10pm

"Popaganda" paintings by Ron English and large scale "Pentings" by Lennie Mace.

Mace, born in New York City, currently resides in Tokyo where he continues to perfect his highly stylized illustrations and ballpoint pen graffiti works. Gaining notoriety as a freelance illustrator during the 80s, Mace's work graced the pages of Spin, The Village Voice, New York Times, New York Press, as well as spots on MTV. Mace has shown numerous times at 111 Minna, most recently in 1999 and 2000 where he exhibited "Wheels and Heels", a series of ballpoint drawings on commercial lithographs. For this exhibit he has produced a new series of large- scale originals and works on tile.

Ron English currently works out of New York, where his work has become well known for its heavily satirized view of modern culture and its icons. English also comes from an illustrative background; one that has taken a heavily subversive direction conveyed through vivid and striking imagery. Arguably, his actions as a billboard liberationist are those, which have drawn the most attention, creating "false" advertisements for Apple computers and Budweiser with Charles Manson and Jesus, respectively.

A feature article and interview with Ron English may be found in the current issue of Juxtapose magazine.

Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Friday 12-5pm, Saturday, Sunday and Monday by appointment.

Urban Art Hip Hop Theme Workshops Help Inspire LA Teenagers
The HeArt Project develops year-round multi-disciplinary art workshops for continuation L.A. Unified Schools

Los Angeles, CA: Exploring the cultural roots and current elements of Hiphop through the medium of graffiti art is the basis for Los Angeles urban artist, Man One, and his 11-week exploration art workshop for students of La Familia Continuation High School, 4909 Cesar Chavez; offered through Los Angeles' The HeArt Project.

The 10-year-old non-profit organization develops year-round workshops for high school students at L.A. Unified continuation schools whose art programs are nonexistent while inspiring youth with a form of productive instruction in the arts.

Man One is part of a group of professional artists chosen by the non-profit to conduct the workshops focusing on the history and elements of the multicultural youth movement Hiphop. Five artists are teaching five elements of Hiphop - theater, rap, turntables, dance, and graffiti - at five different continuation high schools. Man One's first of two 11-week sessions, which began late September running through late November, explores the history, cultural relevance and practice of graffiti art as an inspiration for self expression. The sessions culminate in a group mural on canvas. The mural, along with performances from the four other schools, will be presented in public on November 22 at The Ivy Substation in Culver City affiliated with Center Theater Group. Together the presentations will relate the history of Hiphop and its elements to an audience of over 100 students and community guests.

The program, which continues through June 2003, covers 10 school sites in LAUSD located in East L.A., South Central L.A., Downtown and the San Fernando Valley. Following the end of the first session, Man One will participate in a second workshop continuing on the theme of Hiphop from January to March 2003 at Victory Branch, 14546 Hamlin Street; a continuation high school in Van Nuys, Calif.

"THE TRAIN PAINTINGS"
1976 - 1982

crashspeerstra2002x.jpg

Vernissage: Thursday the 21 of November 2002
from 18 till 21 hours
artist's reception
Exposition: 21 November till 28 december 2002

"From early morning, till late at night, all I could do is think about trains. Trains, the way they move, the sounds they made, the smell they had ... and the paintings on them. I first recognized the trains, and what was on them, when I was about 10, in 1971. I used to ride them, by myself, to meet my mother at her job on 42nd St., and Grand Central Station. The colors used to make me wonder what these things were and how they got there. When I started to paint on the subways, I was 14, and it was 1975. As I kept painting, I along with countless others, would take pictures for ourselves. If you painted, you needed a camera just to keep the pictures for yourself. There was never an idea of what was going to happen in 1980. Everything was for us, and no one else. ... But, as Graffiti became popular, and the world recognized what was going on underground, the pictures became treasures. If you asked, "How did they do those paintings, and who did them?"... we had the answer ... it was us. These pictures became our biographies ... they were real, and they were us ... out of focus, blurry, cut off ...."
Crash, 2002

The show consists of 30 photographs of some of the trains that Crash painted during that period (76 -1982), and all the photos where taken by Crash himself. (They are all in limited edition.)

Evan Hecox
Tokyo: visual travelogue

Whether it's tagged up mailboxes or a vase of sunflowers, Evan Hecox's distinct graphic palette captures the imagery in our field of vision and turns optics inside out. A multidimensional illustrator/artist, Evan unveils his latest scrum of gouache paintings inspired by visions of the Japanese capital: urban landscape paintings and Tokyo skyscrapers in sharp black, white and reds, plus block prints, and a limited edition screen print: these are just a sampling of the immaculate images on hand. His art depicts mood, shapes, and energy in an exacting post-modern environment while remaining accessible and authentic to the streets. In another life, Hecox created graphics for such skateboard companies as Chocolate and Girl.

"From the Trenches"
5 San Francisco Painters

curated by Chris Linding

Mark Gonzales, Chris Linding, Keegan McHargue, Shay Nowick, and A. Scooter Rudolph

Five San Francisco artists will be showing paintings and drawings. The five artist's influences stem from graffiti, skate and S.F. street culture, as well as zines and comic book illustrations and text. A. Scooter Rudolph recently received the San Francisco Yerba Buena Museum's "Young Talent Award."

Mark Gonzales has shown his art internationally and is considered one of the world's most innovative skateboarder artists today. Gonzales was featured in Spike Jonez's short film,"How They Get There." Gonzales did a performance piece at the Stadiches Museum in Germany. While he skated through a half pipe (wearing a fencing uniform) he was filmed by New York artist Cheryl Dunn.

Dzine

Opening reception Friday Oct. 25th 6-9pm

Dzine has worked for years straddling the very thin boundary between art and music and for his first solo exhibition at moniquemeloche he will present a new body of paintings titled beat junkie, chop shop. Like a DJ addicted to beats-per-minute, Dzine samples and remixes both music and art history like a chop shop tech collecting stolen car parts to create fresh forms.

This self-taught artist was born Carlos Rolon (b. 1970) and adopted the tag name "Dzine" as a young teen. The name stuck but his graffiti style evolved into serious abstract painting infused with musical undertones fostered by his father's love of Salsa and his brother's interest in early House.

From album covers to paintings interpreting a certain track to cd/catalogue collaborative projects, Dzine is known internationally for his work with Yellow Productions, Silent Poets, Guidance Recordings, DJ CAM, and more. He has exhibited worldwide from Tokyo, Paris, London, San Juan, Nairobi, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, to Iowa City! This past September, the MCA Chicago invited Dzine and the other members of JUBA Collective to have their first Artists-In-Residence program, which featured a site-specific installation sampler painted by Dzine.

Locally, many will recall his "Search for Love" 2001 collaboration with Judy Ledgerwood and DJ CAM at Gallery 312. Upcoming solo shows in 2003 include Candela Gallery, Puerto Rico; Rocket Gallery, Tokyo; and Galerie Valerie Cueto, Paris. Dzine opened his own recording studio (named La La Productions after the artist's grandmother) behind his painting studio and will release his first track in early 2003.

Eye-Talian Flava: The Italian American Presence in Hip Hop

A symposium presented by

The John D. Calandra Italian American Insitute
Queens College/CUNY and Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò, New York University

Saturday, October 5, 2002
12:30- 5:30 PM.

Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò
24 West 12th Street
Between 5th and 6th Avenues)
Manhattan

The Italian American presence in Hip Hop culture has been little noted. Italian Americans were very much part of the early subway graffiti scene with artists such as Dondi (RIP) and CAVS. Contemporary turntablists Kid Capri, DJ Scribble, and DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill have achieved critical acclaim. Female performers Alicia Keys, Princess Superstar, and spoken word artist Ursula Rucker, whose Italian American identities are not usually marked, have made significant contributions to the larger Hip Hop culture. In recent years, Italian American MCs have emerged with a force to address themes of Italian American identity.

This symposium will explore aspects of creativity and representation by Italian American artists as they pertain to ethnicity, race, and gender within Hip Hop culture. This event will consist of two roundtable discussions with artists exploring the ways Hip Hop culture and identity are reproduced, negotiated, submerged or flaunted, the interrelationship between the media and Hip Hop, and the intertwined concepts of artistry and criminality.

Meeting of Styles

mosgermany2002x.jpg mosgermany2002bx.jpg

The "Int. WallStreetMeeting" gaines huge reputation throughout all countries in europe. This fact inspired us to keep the spirit of the Meeting alive and to bring you the "Int. Meeting Of Styles", several Jams all around europe. It was a lot of work, we had to deal with a lot of troubles and collected important expiriences. Currently we are thinking about next year, even if we are still buisy with the latest projects.

In several cities in europe the local governments are running Anti-Graffiti-Campaigns based on "Zero-Tolerance" and "Broken-Windows" following increasing criminalization of Graffiti. These campaings led to a censorship of the Meeting in Copenhagen. Due to the Anti-Graffiti-Politics of the city of Berlin, we didnt get a permission for any spot. Even the "Mauerpark-Hall-Of-Fame" has been illegalized in the past weeks. Even if we tried hard the result is: no spot, no Meeting in Berlin.

But: we found an alternative! A cool spot at a bridge that connects the city of Wiesbaden with Mainz. Its called Br¸ckenkopf Mainz-Kastel. As the wallspace down there is limited we decided to put it in conncetion with the remaining walls at the Schlachthof in Wiesbaden.

The plan is:
07th of September, Demonstration for the Cultural-Park at Schlachthof. Meetingpoint: Mauritiusplatz 1400h, Wiesbaden-City

07th of September, Br¸ckenkopf-Jam (Mainz-Kastel), all disciplines starts 1600h, no public-painting possible due to limited wall-space.

08th of September, Schlachthof Wiesbaden, starts 1400h, public painting possible, no addiional programm

09th of September, Schlachthof Wiesbaden, starts 1400h, public painting possible, no additional programm

09th of September; Schlachthof Wiesbaden, Vernissage of "rEvolution" SprayCanArt-exhibiton, starts 2000h runs until 15th of September, open daily from 1700-2200h

Graffiti: Seak, Daim, Tasek, Daddy Cool, Stohead, Desur, Neon, Won, Shame, Dome, Cowboy, Honsar, Enorm, Cheech, Can2, Viagrafik, Tasso, Akut, Kase, Esher (Germany), Hogre, MAC-Cru (France) Porno Stars (Spain), Duck (Belgium), Jazi TZP (Switzerland), Poker, Juice (Netherlands), Dephect 1 (USA), Hitnes (Italy), Local Heroes

OVERNIGHT DELIVERY

A Retrospective of Shepard Fairey's OBEY GIANT Absurdist Propaganda
Hours: Wed. - Sun., 2-6pm and by appt.

Reception: August 10th, 7pm - 11pm
Sponsored by Bars to Clubs, with DJ RobbieSox

Culture Cache
1800 Bryant St. @ corner of 17th
San Francisco 415.626.7776

BLK/MKT gallery
3780 Wilshire Blvd. #210
Los Angeles

This retrospective unveils the largest collection of Fairey's work ever shown, with 80 different poster designs illustrating the history of the Obey Giant Campaign. Opening on the same night in L.A. and S.F., this show is concurrent with his retrospective of the same title at the BLK/MKT gallery, located at 3780 Wilshire Blvd. #210, in Los Angeles.

If you've ever been hit with burning curiosity when confronted with the ubiquitous posters and stickers of the late wrestler Andre the Giant, this show will answer all of your questions. Looming larger than life, these images commanding us to "OBEY," are everywhere from local freeway underpasses to SOHO building facades and Tokyo rooftops.

Shepard Fairey began his sticker and wheat pasted poster campaign 13 years ago while a student at the Rhode Island School of Design. What he intended as a frivolous joke among friends has blown sky high into an international public art experiment.

One of Fairey's intentions behind bombarding us with his imagery is to make one think about the power of advertising, and how it has seeped into our culture to the point of complete over-saturation. Since big business is apt to follow trends, he has effectively begun to change the face of advertising itself.

The design company he founded, BLK/MRKT, capitalizes on the very issues they confront. Well known artists working for BLK/MRKT who share his approach and perspective include Evan Hecox, Dave Kinsey, Amanda Ayala and Justin Clark.

FREEZER BURN

When Graffiti meets Ice

freezerburn2002x.jpg

On August 31.... the Coldest day will hit the Hottest City in the Dirty South! Aerosol Warfare and DLG Ice Factory invite you to come chill in sub zero temperatures at the coolest art show you'll ever be a part of! bring your parkas, mittens, jackets and ear muffs...as we bring you artistic melding of urban culture from the ice age!

Like the Great Mammoths and Frozen Eskimo Mummies....All artwork has been carefully preserved within 300 blocks of Ice! Graffiti styles from some of Houston's top writer's meet the ice chainsaw of world renowned Ice Carver (Bronze Medal Winner).

A Writer Burns a wall..and eventually it's buffed, leaving only a memory of it's presence, Much like a Block of Ice that over time Melts away. Combining the two gives us Freezer Burn...and eventually the ice will melt and the art work will also erode aw well....completing the cycle.
