presenta

PAROLE DI CARTA
una personale di OPIEMME

a cura di
Antonio Storelli

Parole di Carta” è la personale di Opiemme curata da Antonio Storelli che verrà inaugurata negli spazi di Elastico Studio venerdì 7 giugno: fulcro della mostra sarà un lavoro installativo realizzato sulle suggestioni di alcuni versi di Gaetano Arcangeli, poeta bolognese del Novecento.

L’intervento site specific interesserà tre delle pareti della sala espositiva di Elastico Studio e si tradurrà in un’installazione fatta di quotidiani, scotch, carta, e parole intagliate che si allarga sulle pareti in un collage di titoli di politica nazionale dell’ultimo mese e richiama alcune tematiche espresse dall’artista nel nucleo di mostre “Senza bandiere”, riflessioni sull’assenza di valori nel Bel Paese: “Welcome To Italy”, “Questo è precariato”, “L’ignoranza non ha vergogna e memoria”, “dateci una speranza”, “maiali”, “Il mondo è così perché noi sia così”, “pace” fatta di armi, “rise up”, sono alcuni dei messaggi che partono dalle pareti e s’incrociano in “reti pindariche” che il pubblico completa nella lettura dell’installazione con la propria esperienza.

Pure Evil Gallery Presents: PROZAC “Multifaces” A Solo Exihibition (London, UK)

PROZAK

In this exhibition, the Brazilian artist Prozak presents prints and paintings in mixed media on paper, continuing his research on transparencies and overlays, exploring the levels of saturation and contrast between colors, and the reaction between the materials used.

These peculiar portraits, almost abstracts, contain multiple faces, skulls and masks mixed with expressions of euphoria, joy, anger, sadness and frustration, are a metaphor for the precarious balance of the human mind, and question the boundaries between the various layers of human emotion and complete insanity.

São Paulo is an epicentre for graffiti artists, and Mazu Prozak is one of the most prolific and influential Paulistan graffiti artists of his generation.

Culture Fix Presents: Bortusk Leer “Monsters in New York” (Manhattan, NYC)

Bortusk burst onto the street art scene in 2007 with naively spray painted and marker penned psychedelic monsters and characters. These characters have become a common sight on the streets of London, Amsterdam, Barcelona and countless other European cities. They have made their way around the globe by air, sea and land to far flung places such as India, Australia, Cambodia, New Zealand and of course the good old USA, (where they have popped up in New York, Seattle and Alaska to name but a few.)

Open Walls Gallery Presents: Various & Gould “The Pressure of Printing” (Berlin, Germany)

Various & Gould

VARIOUS & GOULD | THE PRESSURE OF PRINTING

OPEN WALLS Gallery cordially invites to VARIOUS & GOULD‘s upcoming show, opening on June 8th from 20:00 onwards, in our showroom in Stattbad.

For VARIOUS & GOULD the collage technique is a principle of creating common ground. Testing and experimenting with methods of collaborative printing, was the aim for their residency at the Frans Masereel Centrum, in Belgium, at the beginning of this year.

As an introduction into our program, VARIOUS & GOULD will present the “Belgian Houses” series. This particular body of work is build up from many little bits and pieces, such as patchwork figures, body parts, objects & patterns combined and reassembled together. There are alternately printed by the two artists, in an impressive manner, on paper-sheets. The artists reversed their workflow and implemented the method of collaging directly into the printing process, revisiting previous templates and thus composing new pieces. The result is a series of twelve “collage-prints”.

So both you and I know these types of shows are on the rise and there have been several Graffiti/Urban art themed shows throughout the city the last few years and this is one of a kind for sure “Mad One”, a Portland based street/gallery artist and curator, had the opportunity to lock down a variety of talented artists here locally,throughout the states as well as internationally for this group show.We have artists ranging from New York to California,Canada, the U.K. and beyond.

“Printed Matters” is primarily designed around supporting the urban art movement and bringing awareness to the artists involved and how they have gone from the streets to modern figures being displayed in today’s galleries and museums.

The Outsiders London Present: “A Study of Studies” A Group Exhibition (London, UK)

The Outsiders
The Outsiders London presents an exhibition of preparatory studies from a stellar international line-up, featuring many of the gallery’s most popular artists. Studies are drawn or painted by artists in the earliest stages of planning a new work, and offer a fascinating glimpse into their methods. Although these works are sometimes small they are always spirited, with a notable vitality provided by the artist’s imagination springing into gear. A study can be a fantastic addition to an existing body of work, or an affordable way to start such an anthology.

A superb exhibition for both discerning collectors and besotted admirers, browse through A Study of Studies this May for an engrossing contemporary art experience.

Artists: Jonathan Yeo, Lucy Mclauchlan, Conor Harrington, Dan Witz, Sage Vaughn, Charlie Isoe, Jacques Floret, Oliver Jeffers, Chloe Early, David Hochbaum, Mimi S.
