CA, San Francisco: Oct 9 - Nov 6, 2010: Kofie
White Walls Presents
Retrofitted and Other Forms of Vintage Futurism
New works and installation by Augustine Kofie
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 09, 2010 7-11 PM
White Walls is pleased to present Retrofitted and Other Forms of Vintage Futurism, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles based artist, Augustine Kofie. The artist examines the dynamics that emerge when new elements or techniques are built upon existing material. The exhibition will include a series of wood triangle collages, medium-sized assemblages on wood, acrylic paintings and an installation. The opening reception for Retrofitted and Other Forms of Vintage Futurism, will be held at White Walls on Saturday, October 09, 2010 from 7-11 PM. The exhibit will be on display through November 06, 2010 and is free and open to the public.
With a deep interest in process and structure, Augustine Kofie creates works of intense detail centered on the order of balance. The precision of Kofie’s “drafted” art is strongly inspired by modern architecture as well as the form and shape of typography. In his quest for balance, Kofie harmonizes opposing and contradictory dynamics in his work by setting futuristic compositions against vintage earth-toned palettes, and creating organically complex formations through meticulously structured line-work and layering. Active in the Los Angeles graffiti scene since the mid-nineties, the artist’s work reflects his ever-growing influence of street culture, the craft of deconstructing lettering, contemporary music as well as 1960’s-70's iconography.
Retrofitted and Other Forms of Vintage Futurism, Kofie’s debut solo exhibition with White Walls, continues his exploration of the process of organization, deconstruction and form while adhering to a controlled and tuned uniformity. In this collection the artist poses a broader range of color set against his signature earth-toned palette. The works conveys a ”push and pull” movement through the composition of the shapes and through the enhancement of classic or found material treated with newer counterparts. The works for the exhibition are comprised of acrylic and spray paint on canvas, found paper and mixed media on wood, and found-wood sculptures and installations.
Augustine Kofie is a self-taught artist living and working in Los Angeles. He has shown extensively worldwide with highlighted shows in New York, California, Japan, The Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. The artist has been featured in Juxtapoz, The Huffington Post, LA Weekly, Project Room and Studio Voice.
UK, London: Sept 24-Oct 3, 2010
[painting by SheOne]
The ArchitectsIn the 1980s the words art and graffiti were rarely seen in the same sentence. Young people, inspired by the Hip-Hop and graffiti scene from across the Atlantic, picked up aerosol cans as a means to express themselves but were quickly labelled as vandals and criminals. Now, 20 years on, things have changed with street artists being given well-deserved recognition for their talent and message.
Keith Hopewell aka Part2ism is one of the UK's leading contemporary street artists and when approached by newly established gallery AtomRooms to curate an exhibition, he decided to go straight to the root of his influences.
His group show "The Architects" features some of London's most important artists who emerged from the original generation of graffiti artists in the 1980s. The show will highlight how Pride, SheOne, Prime and Fuel have bridged the gap from their early days as graffiti artists to their current status as fine artists with works ranging from charcoal, metalwork, graphic illustration to paint and aerosol on canvas. AtomRooms will offer for sale original works, together with fine art giclée prints, posters and postcards.
Open to the public from 24th September 2010 to 3rd October 2010, the exhibition will look at these four individual artists who have always pushed the envelope and at where their new work bridges the gap between what they created in the past and the fine art they produce today.
Errol Donald (Pride) was a founder member of The Chrome Angelz (TCA), widely acknowledged as the UK's most prolific and influential graffiti crew. In the mid-'80s they transformed Covent Garden and presented London's first-ever graffiti art exhibition as part of the 'Freestyle 85' Hip-Hop event. Pride was one of the first artists to exhibit professionally and undertake commercial commissions and has since established himself at a senior level within the both the creative and educational sectors. Metalwork installations and letter-based illustrations will feature within the exhibition.
Born James Choules in London 1969, SheOne has been producing art for over 20 years and now specialises in spectacular black and white abstractions three of which he will present for this show. These are based on typographic expression, rooted in '80s new wave graffiti, and tied brilliantly to space. They work just as well on canvas as they do on city walls. Over a twenty-year career, SheOne has offered his unique painterly style to a variety of surfaces. As an exhibiting gallery artist, his work has been shown in Asia, Australia, and Europe. SheOne's installations garner a reputation for their innate ability to tackle difficult spaces. His reputation has also grown through collaborative efforts in product development.
Matthew Bradford (Fuel) represents the type of artist who reacts to the world around him. His early years, set against the backdrop of Thatcher's government of privatisation and the promotion of individualism in the '80s, created for Fuel an unhealthy obsession with expressing himself on trains. Wanted on Crimewatch as one of London's most notorious graffers, Fuel has created an outstanding back catalogue of work in the most dangerous of circumstances. When security became stricter he was left mourning trains and has now moved his attention to contemporary fine art creating dramatic and enveloping abstracts on canvas.
For over two decades, Mark Sinckler (Prime) has been known as one of London's leading graffiti writers, combining the dynamism of street art with a style and execution that encompasses a wide range of creative, political and cultural influences. In 2008 Prime began working in charcoal as a basis for new work, stripping away the layers of his previous creative process to form a connection to the primal and ancestral through large-scale drawings. In his latest series, he explores how classical religious iconography and the structural actuality of modern urban living may merge, forming surreal expressions of landscape, scenes and portraits as a critique of the paradoxical state of belief.
The Architects will re-unite for a private view on Thursday 23rd September 2010 at AtomRooms, 328 Portobello Road, London 6-9pm and the exhibition will be open to the public from 24th September - 3rd October 2010.

NY, New York: Call for Artists
RE:FORM SCHOOL
http://reformschool.letsredu.com
RE:FORM SCHOOL is a big group art exhibition and event series. We’ve brought together hundreds of amazing artists for a huge show in New York City designed to send a loud message that the time has come to fix our ailing Public Education System. As you know, the problem is bad - one out of three students don’t graduate High School in the United States. In many communities that number is almost one in two. We can not allow this to continue. Our children deserve better. We MUST fix this.
Our venue is going to blow minds. We couldn’t have dreamed up a better venue- a recently closed catholic school in SoHo. As in Gymnasium, Cafeteria, 4 floors of classrooms, playground completer with hop scotch & tetherball, globes, chalkboards... The whole kit and caboodle.
We’ve got a really impressive and passionate group of artists aboard, including: Shepard Fairey, Swoon, Chris Johanson, Jo Jackson, Faile, Elbow Toe, Ron English, Maya Hayuk, Gary Baseman, Friends With You, HunterGatherer, iO Tillett Wright, Ernesto Yerena, Andrew Bannecker and over a hundred more.
With the support of REDU, a new mecca for all things education reform (http://www.letsredu.com), we have gathered together an equally passionate array of partners on the project: CAA Foundation, bing, The Hole (our gallery partner & the former Deitch team), The Brooklyn Guild, The Wooster Collective, tokidoki, ComicCon, The Cultyard, GOOD, Urban Arts Partnership, Karmaloop ... and many more. We’re always looking for people to help carry the message and for whom we can carry a torch, so don’t hesitate to reach out with ideas and engagement opportunities.
We have invited artists to join our show through an online art contest. Artists will not only have a chance to hang there work at RE:FORM SCHOOL along side these famed artists, but also have their works reviewed by a stellar panel of judges from the arts and education fields, including:
Russell Simmons (Def Jam Records)
Shepard Fairey (Artist)
Rosario Dawson (actress)
Annelle Miller (Director, Society of Illustrators)
Davis Guggenheim (Director, "Waiting for Superman" & “An Inconvenient Truth”)
Wendy Kopp (Founder, Teach for America)
Robert Lynch (CEO & President, Americans for the Arts)
Brett Littman (Exec. Director, The Drawing Center)
5 Grand Prize winning artists will have their work hang with nationally recognized artists at the RE:FORM SCHOOL NYC Gallery space. 30 Second Prize winners will be selected to join the online exhibition. Submissions will be accepted through September 30th, 2010.

About the Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos)
The celebration occurs on November 2 in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints’ Day (November 1) and All Soul’s Day (November 2). Although the date was set by Pope Urban II in 1095, the celebration dates back to pre-hispanic Mexico. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. Due to occurring shortly after Halloween, the Day of the Dead is sometimes thought to be a similar holiday, although the two actually have little in common. The Day of the Dead is a time of celebration, where partying is common.

Reso sculptures
In close cooperation with the CGI-designer Dennis Norheimer, RESO created his very first sculpture. The first object is simply called "object one". It´s available in a limited edition of 10 signed and numbered pieces, which are made of a high-strength infiltrated synthetic material that looks like stone and feels a little bit like wood. (37 x 14 x 6 cm). Using this material is the only way to get a sculpture this filigree and solid at the same time. There will also be ONE big "object one" (3-4m long).
Shown: One image of the small object and one simulation of the big one.

Sweden, Orebro: Sept. 11-Oct. 17, 2010: SubGlob II
SubGlob II - Peace and Democracy
The ultimate goal of Street art movement is a common language for all people.
SubGlob II would focus on the trend in the art world we can clearly see and have seen over a longer time, namely that more and more artists working outside the established intitutions, whether they are galleries, schools, art galleries or other accommodation in the art. It is a simple difference. Indoors or outdoors? The trend will greatly increase over the coming decades, for the simple reason that there is an outdoor audience. Outdoors, the conversation involves everyone.
SubGlob II presents six artists working in two different fields of public expression today. The one based on painting as a language and the other based on the idea. It is unlikely that these two meet, despite their shared history and claim the folksiness. The artists will present their work, both in Örebro Konsthall, partly out of Orebro city. The focus of the exhibition lies entirely on the invited creative artists. The artists have worked together on the exhibition site in Örebro weeks before opening.

Vintage spray paint project: Cap Matches Color
Cap Matches Color (CMC) is a joint project between Meal (UK) & Slyle (USA), UTS.
The primary goal of CMC is to document individual writers’ history and knowledge of vintage spray paint, as well as preserve spray paint cans (originally intended to be discarded after use), through well researched “digs,” pictures, and collections. CMC is committed to making this information available to the masses via the Internet, and eventually through a wide-scale publication.
Since the start of the project, CMC has received support from many pioneers in the graffiti world, including: Bates AIO, Bio TATS, Giant, Risky WCA, Skore TRC, Web TC5, and Zebster to name a few, as well as exclusive pictures made available by Martha Cooper.
Think back to the days before specialized paint brands dominated the market. Graffiti consisted of trial and error, experimenting with much treasured racked caps from household cleaners, mixing colors through a variety of techniques, and racking missions from smaller independent stores–practices, all of which, for the most part, have been lost. This knowledge is our quest: Preserving spray paint history so that the next generation has access for reference and historical purposes.

CA, Los Angeles: Sept 11, 2010: Bua "POPS"
BUA, the legendary urban artist, proudly introduces his newest collection of original art, entitled BUA "POPS", as well as showcasing some of his classic works on Saturday, September 11, 2010, at Hold Up Art, located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles' Little Tokyo district. For BUA, POPS represents more than just popular cultural representations and iconography or the style of art made famous by the likes of Warhol and Haring. Known as the artist "for the people, of the people, by the people", POPS continues BUA's message as an homage to the artist's fan base as well as creating pervasive hip hop imagery recognizable across cultures.
BUA is internationally known for his best-selling collection of fine art works and prints--"The DJ" being one of the most popular selling posters of all time. Born in NYC's untamed Upper West Side and raised between Manhattan and East Flatbush, Brooklyn, BUA was fascinated by the raw, visceral street life of the city. BUA's distinct style born on the city walls and subway trains -- "New Urban Realism", captures the essence of contemporary culture as expressed through the memories of BUA's turbulent youth, navigating the streets and underground worlds of the urban jungle and the birth of the hip hop scene. Following in the footsteps of the great masters, BUA represents the lives of both the revered and the marginalized, the heroes and the underdogs of our time.
In addition to the artist appearance and exhibiting the BUA art, Hold Up Art will also present an exclusive limited edition BUA silkscreen for sale, a live DJ, street performances, and refreshments.

‘Visual Splendor’
Also opening on September 10th at London Miles Gallery:
Visual Spendor, a solo show by David Marsh aka MESH137.
London Miles is proud to announce the first solo exhibition of London based illustrator DAVID MARSH aka Mesh 137. Visual Splendor is an exciting showcase of what the talented young artist David Marsh has to offer; the exhibition will feature more than 30 individual works of art creating a literal visual feast for the eyes.
David Marsh, a pattern artist from the UK has a truly incredible eye for the most intricate of details. Going by his alias Mesh 137, he created a name for himself originally through his love of using the streets and building facades as his canvases before making his transition into exhibiting indoors in art galleries. He draws inspiration for his artwork from various counter culture movements such as music, graffiti, tattoo art and pulp comics. His larger compositions involve minute patterning hundreds of individual crystals and meticulous finishes which often require hundreds of hours of careful craftsmanship. His illustration work consist of vibrant interpretations of everyday objects like vibrant teapots cupcakes or quirky characters such as pinup ‘pop art’ girls. His artworks are made up using mixed media such as paint pens, spray paints, metallic and acrylic paints and crystals. The main focus of his work is to make paintings which his audience will enjoy looking at and since his recent graduation he has successfully won the hearts of art lovers and serious collectors alike.
David Marsh is an explosion of colour, energy and boldness, his playful character and eagerness to just have a good time is truly infectious. London Miles can guarantee love at first sight with the new collection of artworks presented on September 10th in David Marsh's solo show, Visual Splendor.
