The Superior Bugout would like to extend an invite to you and yours, to join us this Thursday at the Tender Trap for the opening of the internationally recognized street visionary DARKCLOUDS in his show “BIG WORLD.” Opening Thursday February 21, 2013 from 6-10:30pm.
DJ Robbie Drizzle & friends will be spinning. As always, there will be drink specials at the bar.
The Iconic imagery of DARKCLOUDS grey, dripping mass surrounded by vibrant color has been a staple in the street art scene for a decade now. Locally and internationally, the public knows the unmistakeable image hovering overhead, confronting you when you least expect it. Placed dominantly on the busiest of streets or hidden deep in the cuts, far out of the path of foot traffic the cloud evokes a sense of discovery and mystery for the viewer. Representing the angst and turmoil one goes through on a daily basis, it brings levity and light into focus, hopefully leaving the viewer with a sense of clarity for whatever they’re current situation may be. Mass produced, hand painted stickers and signs have been affixed to walls, poles, and countless other surfaces worldwide since 2003, while the home base of the artists remains nestled in Brooklyn, NY.
“If you know my work and have played Super Mario 3 enough to get to level 4 you will understand the conceptual brilliance of this show…All this work was created specifically for the space at the Tender Trap. Limited ed. prints will be available for the first time basically ever.”
Gruppenausstellung mit Decycle , EMESS, L.E.T., Marc Peschke, mittenimwald, Various & Gould und Van Ray
„dirty works @ 30works“ geht in die vierte Runde. Ein weiteres Mal wird die Kölner 30works Galerie zur Spielfläche, zum Experimentierfeld, zum Treffpunkt der Jungen Wilden der Kunstszene. Streetart? Pop Art? Bildende Kunst? Es ist heute schwer, da noch eine Grenze zu ziehen. Diesmal sind Decycle, EMESS, L.E.T., Marc Peschke, mittenimwald, Various & Gould und Van Ray zu sehen – Stars und Talente aus ganz Deutschland: eine wilde Mischung. Ausstellungseröffnung ist am Samstag, den 26. Januar, um 20 Uhr.
Streetart ist rau. Sie ist handgemacht. Sie ist ein Spiel mit Zeichen und Codes. Manchmal ist sie wie eine feindliche Übernahme, lässt einen Raum des Widerspruchs entstehen. „dirty works vol. IV“ bietet nicht weniger als einen Culture Clash, einen kulturellen Mustermix. Neueste Pop-Hybride, rau und unmittelbar werden hier präsentiert. Spektakuläre Bilder, junge Kunst, die provoziert und anmacht, die den Kunstbetrieb herausfordert, die nach einem anderen Leben giert, die sich wehrt gegen Kommerzialisierung und Gentrifizierung der Städte, die sich als Gegenpol versteht, als beißender Kommentar auf eine zunehmend normierte Umwelt. Diese Kunst ist vielgestaltig, technisch wie inhaltlich – aber vor allem ist sie: nie langweilig. Streetart, Urban Art und Bildende Kunst. Neue, frische Bilder. Jetzt zu sehen in Köln bei „dirty works vol. IV @ 30works“.
Finissage: Sonntag, 24. Februar von 15 bis 18 Uhr.
Ausstellung: 26.01.2013 bis 23.02.2013
Di-Fr 15-19 Uhr, Sa 11-17 Uhr sowie nach Vereinbarung.

Jonathan LeVine Gallery is pleased to present The End Is Far, a series of new works, a site-specific installation and live performance by Polish-born, New York-based artist Olek, in what will be her second solo exhibition at the gallery. Known for her bold work and vivacious persona, Olek’s ever-expanding interventions involve covering a multitude of people and objects in camouflage-patterned crochet including: bicycles, cars, shopping carts, construction vehicles and prominent public art sculptures such as Wall Street’s Charging Bull; Alamo (Astor Place cube) and Gato de Botero in Barcelona.
This exhibition follows what proved to be a very eventful year for Olek. In 2011, she was placed on house arrest after a dispute with an aggressive male patron escalated at a London bar. Subsequently, despite creatively and financially stifling circumstances, Olek found herself motivated by the experience, determined to cover legal expenses and fight for her freedom. Granted permission to leave the UK between court appearances, 2012 became the most prolific year of the artist’s career to date, as she took on numerous international projects, public installations and commissions. She was part of the 40 Under 40: Craft Futures exhibition at the Smithsonian, for which her entire crocheted studio apartment was exhibited. During the rest of her travels, Olek collaborated with women around the world, in Brazil, Hong Kong and Poland, learning new techniques and experimenting with different materials.
The End is Far features new multi-layered crocheted sculptures and panels inspired by the events that transpired last year. With the addition of finely crocheted lace doilies, metallic gold ribbon and a new approach to typography, themes of freedom, justice, feminine power and strength are conveyed through subject matter such as boxing gloves, skulls, skeletons, sickles and horseshoes. An installation room containing a dining table set with china, overflowing fruit bowls, wine bottles and goblets will serve as an isolated environment for Olek’s crochet-covered female performers during the opening reception.
JustMad celebra este año 2013 su cuarta edición, habiendo logrado en pocos años consolidarse como una de las más importantes del circuito de Febrero en Madrid.
Ubicada por segundo año consecutivo en el Hotel Silken Puerta de América, se celebrará entre el 14 y el 17 de Febrero.
iam Gallery Madrid tiene el placer de participar con un stand propio en su primera incursión en las Ferias de Arte, en este nuestro recién cumplido primer año de vida en la galería de la Calle San Blas.
Por ello, quisimos contar con dos artistas que desarrollan sus fructíferas carreras de forma individual, pero que dada su profunda amistad y sintonía vital, decidieron un día unir su creatividad frente a una hoja en blanco: Remed y Okuda.
