Brazilian graffiti-school collaboration project needs your support
PAZ/Walls Art Zone is an independently organized event that will be crowdfunded on Kickstarter. Unfortunately the text of their Kickstarter page is not available in English, but it's being organized by local graffiti crews. One US dollar is 2 Brazilian Reals, so your international donation can make a difference fast. This is the machine translation in English and French, below.

PORTUGUESE
P.A.Z (PEACE) / Walls Art Zone is an art project with social and educational role. Consists of large frescoes painted graffiti on the walls of public schools in Rio by Brazilian artists to the students of the schools.
Peace is seen in the context of developing an artistic action carried out by federal and international artists by pupils in schools in Rio during the World Cup football in 2014.
In the view of the PEACE project in 2014, think of organizing a pilot project: a cultural event similar, though smaller, will take place during the month of June 2012 at the Pedro Ernesto Public School District, in the neighborhood of Lagoa in Rio de Janeiro.
The first event:
• graffiti workshops for students
The workshops will be led by an artist from Rio de Janeiro during the month of June.
• Frescoes murals done by five artists from Rio
After months of workshops, the frescoes will be held during the last weekend of June in the school walls.
After months of workshops, the frescoes will be held during the last weekend of June in the school walls.
• The audiovisual record of the project
An audiovisual staff will follow all stages of the project, from preparation to preparation workshops of the frescoes.

PEACE 2014 is still a project. However, the pilot is ready: the artists, the school, schedule, budget required. Only lack of funding.
Besides the opportunity to start a collaboration with artists and schools, this pilot project also allowed to create our own tools to develop the project PEACE 2014.
Thanks for your support!

NYC: July 26, 2012: Kingbrown magazine's USA launch
KINGBROWN CURATED BY MELISSA MCCAIG-WELLES AND JOHN LEO
THURSDAY JULY 26, 2012 7-11PM
We are pleased to announce the official launch and exhibition of Kingbrown Magazine, Edition #8, co-curated and designed by Morning Breath.
The exhibition will be open to the public
July 26th, 2012 from 7-10pm
Klughaus Gallery
47 Monroe Street
NYC, NY
Australia's "Kingbrown" Magazine has collaborated with curators, John Leo and Melissa McCaig-Welles to bring you a dynamic collection of skateboard inspired artwork. The exhibition will showcase some of the world's most influential artists from members of the infamous Girl/Chocolate Art Dump, pioneers in NYC graffiti, talented illustrators, animators, art stars from Australia, sculptors, and that guy living in the NY green diamond.
Conceived in 2006 by co-creators Yok and Ian Mutch in Perth, Australia, Kingbrown's mission was to produce a limited edition work of art, which would reach a wider audience, allowing accessibility to the public and its entirety. Each "magazine" is handcrafted and designed by some of the world's leading innovators of photography, illustration and urban and skateboard art and design. Produced on museum quality paper, each page is a collectable item, individually sealed and packaged. Now in its 8th edition, Kingbrown has achieved worldwide success and is now launching for the first time in the US.
The term "Kingbrown" is Australian slang for a 40oz, and the magazine's slogan "wrapped in a brown bag, just like a good 40 should", is just as original as the artists it represents. This latest 8th edition, co-curated by the renowned collaborative, "Morning Breath", focuses it's topic on the visually rich artists who have influenced the world of skateboarding.
The impressive line-up includes Morning Breath, Andy Jenkins, Chris Cycle, Dave Kinsey, "Grotesk" aka Kimou Meyer, Stefan Marx, Kevin Lyons, Mike Giant, Raza Uno aka MAx Vogel, Greg Lamarche, Zach Malfa-Kowalski, Steve Gourlay, Jay Howell, and Ben Horton, all of whom have contributed to this limited 8th edition of Kingbrown Magazine.
Additional works to be included in the exhibition by the following Australian artists: Beastman, Phibs, Hiro, Reka, Kyle "Creepy" Hughes-Odgers, Meggs, Sean Morris, Yok, Sheryo, Ross Clugston, Daek, Lister, Numskull, Ian Mutch, Rone/ aka Tyrone Wright.

CA, San Jose: May 4-June 30 (extended), 2012: POESIA
Anno Domini presents"More Force Than Judgement," a solo exhibition
of new paintings by Poesia
The Immaculate Conception, 72 x 41 inches, spray enamel, oil paint, oil pastel, bitumen on canvas..
In this exhibition entitled, More Force than Judgment, Poesia draws inspiration from a quote by renaissance biographer Giorgio Vasari describing the work of Tintoretto. The quote resonates with Poesia because of his involvement over the past two decades with the graffiti movement. Graffiti as an art form has not usually been taken seriously because it is perceived as consisting of actions and aesthetics that have to do more with force than judgment. Art historians and collectors in the past have been unable to make the connections between the power of a spray painted tag on the street, a Pollock drip on a canvas, or a Tintoretto sketch on a piece of paper. These relationships are made synonymous on these canvases as a pointed metaphor about the importance of the graffiti writer's mark on art history, as well as on the physical world itself.
In the paintings themselves, Poesia creates a direct dialogue with art history and graffiti's recently recognized, yet still contentious, central role in it in the new millennium. The compositions involve revised versions of old masterpieces that are influenced by the artist's history as a graffiti artist and the techniques and materials that he uses. As his traditional subject matter, he repaints historical masterpieces from the High Renaissance through the Baroque period. As his challenging commentary, he utilizes geometric abstraction to slice into them and graffiti tools wielded with an expressionistic stroke to disperse and obscure them. Poesia uses this visual dialectic to create a simile between new millennium masters and their historical counterparts, thereby making a statement that elevates both the art form and their practitioners, as well as progressing it's stylistic palette into the future.

Bolivia, what's up?
Bolivia is one of those places where we don't really know what's going on in the writing and hiphop communities. Apparently Bolivia had its very first graffiti murals painted during a recent event. Expect updates later, but here's a FB page that featured the event: http://www.facebook.com/CBA.SC
Thanks to 181 for the tip.
