London Miles Gallery is hosting an afternoon with Duster UA on December 4th, 2010. Curated by Paul 'Don' Smith, Duster will be traveling outside of the USA for the first time in his life, to give a talk about his legendary career as a New York subway graffiti artist during the '70s and '80s. The afternoon will include an exhibition of original and rare photographs from Henry Chalfant and Martha Cooper authors of 'Subway Art', an exhibition of limited edition prints and artwork by Duster, and a one hour talk with the artist as he talks through his experiences as a New York train writer.
Visitors to the event will enjoy a private screening of Style Wars; the original Hip Hop documentary directed by Tony Silver and co- produced with Henry Chalfant. The film was awarded the Grand Prize for Documentaries at the 1983 Sundance Film Festival. STYLE WARS is regarded as the indispensable documentation of New York street culture and subway art of the early '80s, the filmic record of a golden age of youthful creativity that exploded into the world from a city in crisis. A percentage of all ticket sales will go to the restoration fund of Style Wars. For more information visit www.stylewars.com
