IL, Chicago: February 19-April 2, 2011: Polymetric
The name of the show “Polymetric” is taken from the term used by some writers to describe West African drumming. This term immediately alludes to the multiplicity of the music which it describes and it also serves as a fitting metaphor to exemplify the array of styles, personalities, and “non linear dynamic” that defines the RK design collective. As author John Miller Chernoff acknowledged in his book, “African Rhythm and African Sensibility” (1979), “You should attempt to hear as many rhythms as possible working together yet remaining distinct.”

CA, Oakland: March 4-5, 2011 - Stand Tall, Part II: No Ceilings!
Old Crow Tattoo and Gallery presents
Stand Tall Pt.II: No Ceilings ! New Heights in Urban Contemporary Art
2 OPENING RECEPTIONS, 2 VENUES, 2 DAYS
... A lot's happened since the last "Stand Tall" and as we move closer to 2012. We wanted to do it again, one last time....
Sooo here it is on March 4th and 5th, bigger and better with 60 of our favorite artists, covering a wide range of mediums and disciplines.
"Stand Tall" and in essence, is a conceptual installation show, where each artist has a 3ft x 9ft of wall space to exhibit whatever however they see fit. This show is meant to give each artist full liberty to create within a confined area. The concept allows for a visceral gallery presentation and also individual grace and focus from artist to artist.
Stand Tall Pt.II promises all the visual beauty of last years show but this time we'll be working with Photographers, Skate Artists, Street Artists of all types, Visionary artists and of course Tattooists as well as accomplished fine artists to create a more dynamic event for everyone involved. We really can't say
enough about the group of artists participating in this show. If you not familiar with any of they're work follow the links and get familiar.
JAPANTHER
will be headlining the event and performing on Friday night @ Addis Habana. This will be a very special performance as they are also exhibiting in the show. This will be a rare time to see the artwork of
JAPANTHER along with the music.
Mortar and Pestle will be playing @ Old Crow Tattoo and Gallery on Friday along with other surprise guests.
Invasive species feat. Daniel Yasmin and Anchant Futour w/ Sunru will be playing Saturday evening !!!!
Hosted by Philip Milic in the house he created.
We really hope you can attend this show, bring yourself and your friends both nights. This is a good one.
2 Venues, 2 Nights, Stand Tall Pt.II

New film: Unlike U -Trainwriting in Berlin
German train writers are hard core pros. This looks great. - Susan
Website: http://www.unlike-u.com
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Unlike-U-trainwriting-in-berlin/160128850681335 Produktion: HISKICK productions
Mit: ABIS , ACID, AZUR , BAS2, BURN, COZ CREW, ESHOK, FINO, FOTO SVEN, GLOK, HARALD P., INKA, LYTE, MICRO, ONE UP CREW, ESD, PHERS, POET, REW, ROY, RÜDIGER GLATZ, SKIM, THE CITY FAMOUS, TRON, TRUS, WESP, ZEKER81, ZOE
UNLIKE U beleuchtet vier Generationen von Sprühern in Berlin, wovon die ältesten der Hardcore-Artisten mittlerweile schon 40 Jahre alt sind und die Jüngsten um die siebzehn. Alle Protagonisten aber haben eines gemeinsam. Jeder von ihnen hat in seinem Leben schon unzählige Züge bemalt und einige von ihnen sogar um die 1000.
Mit intensiven Interviews versuchen die Filmemacher Henrik Regel und Björn Birg den Beweggründen der Sprüher auf die Spur zu kommen und herauszuarbeiten, was genau der Kick an einer Sache ist, die in der Öffentlichkeit keine Anerkennung bekommen kann. Denn schließlich handelt es sich nach offizieller Lesart um besonders schwere Sachbeschädigung und besprühte Züge, werden so schnell wie möglich aus dem Verkehr gezogen. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit also, dass ein Sprüher sein Werk in Vollendung, sprich als fahrende Leinwand zu sehen bekommt ist äußerst gering. Worin also besteht der Wert dieser Aktionen? Worin besteht die Selbstbestätigung? Was treibt diese Menschen an?
Die Filmemacher tauchten tief ein in den Kosmos der Trainwriter. Neben erstklassigen Interviews wurde ihnen auch Material zugespielt, das so noch nie zu sehen war. Der Film zeigt Hintergründe zu bestimmten Aktionen und geschichtsträchtiges Material vom legendären Corner an der Friedrichstraße, dem Treffpunkt der Berliner Sprüher in den 90er Jahren. Dem Ort also, an dem der Mythos der Berliner Writerkultur ihren Anfang nahm.
In diesem Sinne ist UNLIKE U auch kein normales Graffitivideo, in dem Action auf Action und Zug nach Zug gezeigt wird, sondern das einfühlsame Portrait einer Szene, die so noch nicht zu sehen war. Dieser Film schreibt und beinhaltet die faszinierende Geschichte einer Kultur, die ansonsten im Verborgenen bleibt und trotzdem alle Eigenschaften einer eigenständigen Kunstrichtung besitzt mit einem ganz eigenen räumlichen, zeitlichen und inhaltlichem Bezug.
From the Google translation:
UNLIKE U lit four generations of writers in Berlin, of which the oldest of hardcore artists now already 40 years old and the youngest of them seventeen. All characters have one thing in common. Each of them has painted in his life countless trains and 1000 some of them even.
Intensive interviews with the filmmakers try to rule and Henrik Bjorn Birg the motives of the sprayer to get on the track and work out what is exactly the kick of a thing that can get no recognition among the public. After all, it concerns according to the official version very serious damage to property and sprayed coatings, as quickly as possible taken out of circulation. So the probability that a sprayer gets his work to perfection, that is seen as a mobile screen is very small. So what is the value of these actions? What is the self-affirmation? What drives these people?
The filmmakers plunged deep into the cosmos of Train Writer. Besides first-class interviews, they were also leaked material that was not shown before. The film shows the reasons behind the actions and history material from the corner at the legendary Friedrichstraße, the meeting place of the Berlin sprayer in the '90s where the Berlin Writer culture began.
In this sense, UNLIKE U is not a normal graffiti video. The action is shown on the train, but it's a sympathetic portrait of a scene that had none. This film includes the fascinating story of a culture that otherwise remains hidden and yet it has all the features and art direction with its own spatial, temporal and thematic links.
UK, London: Feb. 17 2011: Safewalls
SAFEWALLS
SAFEWALLS is an artistic project curated by Cirque du Soleil that is bringing time-honoured circus posters into the 21st century by pairing up with renowned international street art and lowbrow artists (lowbrow is an artistic movement that uses the graphic codes of popular genres such as comics, advertising, graffiti and anything not considered fine arts). This project celebrates the roots of Cirque du Soleil—the street—as well as the creative freedom and raw energy associated with street arts.
The term "safe walls" refers to legal spots in the urban landscape for local street artists to do their work without the fear of sanctions. SAFEWALLS commissions urban artists from all over the world to create daring and original posters inspired by Cirque du Soleil shows. In addition to being displayed in predetermined cities where Cirque du Soleil is presenting one of its big top shows, the final artworks will be used for the production of limited-edition, signed and numbered posters Each month—for a period of 12 months—three artists will be commissioned in each city to create a poster inspired by the show. The posters will travel the world and the exhibit will be cumulative, growing in size as works of previous cities are added to the collection.
The works can also be seen online on safewalls.org and during public events.
