TIME: 7:00pm - 10:00pm
To celebrate the holidays and the spirit of giving, 1AM is proud to
present the "6th Street Beautification" exhibition. 1AM is donating a
percentage of proceeds from all art sales to City Crossroads Community
Center. Established in 1984, Crossroads, located in the heart of the
city at 6th Street, is a place where SF youth can get off the streets
and just be "kids" again rather than dealing with the pressures of the
streets.
Gifted City Crossroads youth and members such as Camer1, Dennis
Bullock, and Micronaut will be exhibiting their art alongside other
local fine and urban artists. All the art will be affordable so come
support the 6th Street Beautification with 1AM as we close out our
groundbreaking year. As an added bonus, DJ Spinner D will be bringing
you the soundtrack to the night with guest MC Cause.
Don't miss this chance to beautify your life with some art and the
SOMA community center with your support!
The show opens on Dec 20th and runs through Feb 7th.
City Crossroads Community Center:
As many San Franciscans know, the Sixth Street corridor is a hard
place to live, or even drive through for that matter. Drug abuse,
alcohol abuse, the dealing of narcotic substances, prostitution and
many other crimes are very evident in this area. What many don't know
is that it is also a place where hundreds of youth and children
reside. While most suburb children can play in their backyard with
their friends or go to the park after school, the inner city does not
provide many of these types of amenities. This is where City
Crossroads Community Center comes in to play.
Established in 1984, Crossroads is place where kids can get off the
streets and just be "kids" again rather than dealing with the
pressures of the streets. It provides a safe environment where
children and youth can play pool, basketball, video games, and many
other activities. They can get help with homework, learn instruments,
and immerse themselves in art. They get to go on field trips taking
them out of the city, which for many is something that they experience
for the first time. Crossroads is a place where they can seek counsel
from the staff that loves them unconditionally. It is a place that
believes in hope and healing in a neighborhood that is hurting.

Los Angeles (Santa Monica) CA: December 13 - 20, 2008
Join world famous graffiti artist RISK from
The Seventh Letter and friend of
GuerillaOne, at his first ever-exclusive gallery show. All new pieces,
from wood canvas to wall art, RISK pushes the limit and experiments with
various styles you have never seen done in graffiti art.
In a career spanning twenty-six years, graffiti artist RISK has
impacted the evolution of street writing as an artform in Los Angeles
and worldwide. RISK pushed the limits further than any L.A. graffiti
writer had ever gone before by bombing – what would later be referred to
in the graffiti world as a "heaven" – on freeway overpasses and other
highly visible spots throughout the city gaining major notoriety for his
unique style. At the peak of his career he took graffiti from the
streets and into the gallery with the launch of the Third Rail series of
art shows; he later parlayed the Third Rail brand into the first
authentic line of graffiti-inspired clothing.
In describing this exhibition, RISK states:
"Twenty-Six is a collection of letters that I painted as if I were
painting on the streets, using what paint and materials I had in my
studio, while making sure they all had the movement and the energy of
good old-school graffiti. It is a celebration of where I'm at today and
where I have come from. Twenty-six letters of the alphabet, twenty-six
years; I can’t think of a better way to define myself and my view of
graffiti art."
Contemplating the arc of his career, RISK attributes his success to
something deep inside him. “I think I was the first to do a lot of stuff
because I was competitive. I always wanted to take things one step
further.”

To celebrate its first birthday Guerrilla Galleries is having an
unfeasibly fashionable show - and you've got an invite.
At the opening party knees-up that kicks off on 5th December at 7pm,

"I was too drunk to remember my own first birthday, so I'm quite
looking forward to this one," slurred gallery owner Julian Monaghan, in
his especially shaved birthday suit, which is a tad more wrinkled than
last year.
As it's close to Christmas and a birthday celebration too, Satan's
little helpers will hand out the mulled lager and slices of the fairy
liquid cake. If you're lucky yule get stuffed.
This show will sadly be the last show at Guerrilla Galleries current

Phetus
Friday, December 5, Phetus will reveal his latest collection of
cutting-edge work to the public. From 7 to 11 p.m.
Phetus will be
showcasing his work to not only those savvy enough to have been
following him since his debut in 1988, but also those who only wish they
were cool enough to say they knew this guy years ago. Raised on Long
Island, home to some of the most influential artists in the rap
community such as Busta Rhymes, Public Enemy, and De La Soul, Phetus
says he started out during ìthe golden era when rap was good and urban
art really took off.
His art combines bold, street-style elements with
classic designs and the latest trends in pop art and culture to create
fun, funky, and wacky works of art that artists such as LL Cool J,
Ludacris, and Naughty by Nature have been wearing on custom clothing
made by Phetus for years.

PRIMARY FLIGHT 2008
BLACKBOOKS in association with SPINELLO GALLERY, LANDSEA VENTURES,
and SABOTAZ are proud to present PRIMARY FLIGHT 2008.
Once again graff writers and street artists hit the Wynwood streets
in Miami's second installment of the internationally acclaimed, site
specific, street level, mural installation. This years exhibition
features 40 of today's most respected graffiti artists local and abroad,
curated by BOOKSIIII, Lynn Yohana Howard, Logan Hicks, and Anthony
Spinello. Maps outlining the street installation will be available for
download online at primaryflight.com and on location in the wynwood
streets. Graffiti has come a long way from the back seats of police
cars to gracing the walls of the worlds greatest collections and
museums. Primary Flight's original concept and soul purpose is to
provide these artists with outdoor, concrete wall space, allowing them
free reign to install their art as they see fit - back into graffiti's
original environment - in what is arguably its most appealing
format.

ACROSS REWRITING. Una collettiva „ridotta‰ dedicata al mondo graffiti
writing e street art.
Inaugurazione martedì 2 dicembre Œ08 ore 19.

Lo sviluppo di una ricerca personale si trasforma in una mostra
collettiva alla ricerca di autori sospesi nel mondo graffiti
writing/street art. Dopo il successo della prima edizione nel 2007 con
la partecipazione di 78 artisti del nord Italia, quest‚anno ACROSS
REWRITING si concentra sul fenomeno piemontese allargato a pochi inviti
dal nord Italia e dalla Spagna. Oltre cinquanta partecipanti tra i più
attivi in Piemonte si presentano in uno spazio/tela di 30 x 30 cm.
ciascuno. Difficile usare lo spray a mano libera sulla superficie
ridotta (anche se i più virtuosi non possono farne a meno) si
prediligono acrilici, mascherine, resine, colle, sticker e carta, con, a
volte, una deriva verso la pittura "pura" e meno "street".
La mostra collettiva ridotta ACROSS REWRITING è promossa ed ospitata,
grazie al contributo Regione Piemonte, dal circolo culturale AMANTES a
Torino, uno spazio al confine tra galleria d'arte e locale di svago
fondato nel 1996, dove è possibile dialogare con gli autori davanti a un
bicchiere e in modo informale.
ACROSS REWRITING è un percorso di avvicinamento a "REWRITING '09", la
quarta edizione di una rassegna sempre rivolta al fenomeno graffiti
writing / street art ma performativa. Si svolgerà tra marzo e aprile e
darà modo ai visitatori di ammirare gli artisti all'opera.
ACROSS REWRITING inaugura in un periodo di confusione generale, in cui i
politici promettono ai writers la galera (Berlusconi) e poi li
sdoganano: «Le scritte sui muri sono la lingua dei popoli, da
bacchettoni colpirle» (Bossi), dove la Normale di Pisa mette vincoli dei
Beni Culturali a certe scritte del Sessantotto e Sgarbi propone a Bossi
il vincolo anche per „La Lega ce l‚ha duro‰ (Fonte: La Stampa. 6.11.08).
A Torino, di questo passo, metteremo a tutela „Forza Toro‰ e „poverini‰.

Non esiste più nulla. Tutto cambia. Si evolve. Quello che un tempo era pericoloso, oggi è diventato innocuo e venduto alle masse. L'urgenza espressiva invece è sempre in divenire. Fluttua e i suoi confini vengono continuamente ridefiniti. Sicuramente si nutre di fantasia e la fantasia non è altro che un aspetto della memoria svincolata dall’ordine del tempo e dello spazio. Forse è per questo che chi si sente artista vive sempre diviso tra sogno e realtà. Ma la domanda sorge spontanea: Oggi, esiste ancora l’arte? Pop Disaster, non vuole rispondere a questo quesito. Pop Disaster, nasce per dare risalto ad una grande quantità di spunti creativi in conflitto tra loro. Per dare valore a fenomeni anomali. Per dimostrare che il contenuto ha il sopravvento sulla forma. Per dimostrare che la vera arte è gioco e che non ci sono leggi precise per vivere nuove esperienze sensoriali legate alla nostra cultura. Pop Disaster, dimostra che l’atto creativo è al centro del mondo e che se cerchi consolazione nelle cose durevoli, Pop Disaster ti cambierà la vita!

Presso la Galleria Il Trifoglio Nero questo sabato la performance “ L’ATLAS D’UN MONDE L’AUTRE” : una bussola gigante in Piazza Matteotti
opera dell’artista parigino L’ATLAS”
Sabato 15 novembre 2008 alle ore 15 in Piazza Matteotti si terrà la performance “LATLAS D’UN MONDE L’AUTRE” dell’artista parigino “L’ATLAS”. L’evento è proposto dalla Galleria “IL Trifoglio Nero”, Piazza Matteotti 80r
http://www.iltrifoglionero.com e segna l’inaugurazione della mostra dello stesso artista presso la galleria che sarà aperta da sabato fino al 13 dicembre 2008.
L’ATLAS è un artista parigino che parte dall’arte di strada e, dopo 10 anni trascorsi a realizzare graffiti su “tutti i supporti che la città poteva offrirgli” ha intrapreso percorsi per nuovi tipi di materiali conservando l’interesse per la città, le sue strade, le mappe mentali necessarie per abitarla.
A Genova realizzerà, seconda performance di questo tipo dopo una per il Centre Pompidou nel maggio scorso, una sorta di bussola gigante “disegnata” con i materiali che l’artista utilizza su quasi tutta Piazza Matteotti.
La costruzione dell'opera si farà collettivamente. Infatti la gigantesca forma è formata da 500 singoli pezzi che le persone che vogliono partecipare possono prendere e posizionare, sotto la direzione dell’artista. Alla fine i diversi componenti dell'opera saranno distribuiti.

opening reception - Thursday, November 6th, 2008 6pm - 9pm
Acclaimed Bronx graffiti writer Eric Orr is best known for being one of the originators of icon graffiti in the early 1980's. His icon, Robot Head, was so named by Keith Haring, with whom he collaborated on a variety of projects.
Lately, Orr has focused on using MTA subway maps and authentic subway car signs acquired directly from the transit system as texture behind his iconic pictograms. He mounts these signs on canvas and mason boards, adding items often found in the stations, from metro cards to trash to the ever present advertising signs.
Brooklyn artist Josh Goldstein captures New York City bodega and Coney Island signage, Chinese take-out menus, and other urban flotsam; he then blows the images apart and reconstructs them in his sculptural photo collages mounted on salvaged plywood. Inspired by the grit and decay of New York City, his work pays homage to the churning engine of the city.
At the opening reception, art collectors will be able to create their own works of art using Goldstein's blocks and his "U pick, I stick" method.

Big Geezers
Artists participating in the Big Geezers show include MORCKY TROUBLES (Italy), MISS RIEL (Iceland), GALO (Italy), WAYNE HORSE (Germany), PEZ (Spain), MINIVILA (Croatia), FLYING FORTRESS (Germany), and THE LONDON POLICE (U.K).
Morcky’s roots are in graffiti although he has experience with photography, animation and video. These days he keeps an eye on the interaction of his paintings and drawings with their surroundings including walls and elements in the streets. Morcky also enjoys playing with perspective. Galo painted nearly every surface imaginable: fat bellies and flat ones, old walls and young electricity boxes, toilets and fences, ceilings and floors, canvas, wood, bikes and cars…sometimes he gets carried away. Obsessed with drawing, Horse loves to create situations, rather than whole stories, in a wide range of media. He leaves space for a story to evolve out of small apparently unconnected fragments, creating a different experience based on the individual’s own perspective. Pez took his signature smiling fish character to the streets to spread good vibrations and its success has spawned a host of smiling sibling characters. Minivila, a truly international artist who was raised in Croatia and is now based in Amsterdam, marries fashion, illustration, painting and music. Munich based artist Flying Förtress started to do classic graffiti in the early 90’s. After a hiatus where he focused on graphic design he hit the streets again with his infamous Teddy Troops. The London Police is a collective best known for their iconic “LADS” characters. The group travels extensively allowing the LADS to infiltrate cities around the world.

Fifth Annual Dia De Los Muertos Celebration Exhibit
Over 100 ceramic skulls designed by

of painters, graphic designers, graffiti artists, sculptors and tattoo
artists will be for sale and on display for the rest of the month of
November.
There will be many limited edition products celebrating the past five
years of this annual show, including prints, tees, stickers, and an
anniversary catalog.
Featured artist
Edgar Hoill
will be creating a special Day of the Dead photographic
installation that will run in conjunction with this exhibit as well.
October 30th sees the opening night of Prescription Art's first
exhibition - 'Outside In' - featuring 20 of the hottest street artists
from across the globe including: Zeus (FR), L'Atlas (FR), Dain, Broken Crow,
Bortusk Leer, FKDL, Case, Damon Ginandes, Deuce Seven (USA), Freek van
Haagen (NL) and EGO LEONARD (NL). Showcasing the breadth of talent &
styles hitting walls worldwide, each artist has a strong & distinctive
voice – whilst avoiding clichéd stencils and subject matter.
In many cases this is the first time the artists have exhibited in
the UK, despite having huge popularity in their own countries. On the
other hand Zeus has been a big name on the UK graffiti scene since the
1980s. Overall this is the freshest line-up of talent assembled for any
show this year, and will feature some genre-defining pieces. And a 3
meter lego man, Ego Leonard.

The exhibition runs until 6th November (11-6), and takes place at the
Truman Brewery, Brick Lane (entrance from Ely's Yard) London, UK.

Le 18 février 2008, la maison Artcurial | Briest - Poulain - F. Tajan était
fière de lancer sur le marché français la toute première vente entièrement
dédiée à l’art urbain (art graffiti et post-graffiti).
Soixante dix tableaux et objets s’offraient donc aux nombreux amateurs
collectionneurs, mobilisés par la campagne médiatique provoquée par cet
événement. Affichant un résultat de 461 000 €, la vente enregistrait
plusieurs records : 29 700 € pour Futura 2000, 43 400 € pour John Crash
Matos, ou 18 600 € pour Blek le Rat…
Des résultats probants qui marquent la consécration d’une création
jusqu’alors restée dans l’ombre et qui illustre l’engouement réel que cet
art suscite. Forte de ce succès, notre maison française prépare dès à
présent une nouvelle session prévue le 28 octobre 2008 et qui verra les
œuvres exposées pendant la FIAC.
Sont déjà annoncées plusieurs collections européennes importantes avec des
œuvres de Futura 2000, John Crash Matos, Daze, Toxic, Rammelzee, Dondi
White…
Poursuivant sur son impulsion du 18 février 2008, Artcurial | Briest -
Poulain - F. Tajan consacrera également un chapitre aux œuvres historiques
de Jonone. La scène pochoiriste sera quand à elle représentée à travers les
travaux de Nick Walker, Blek le Rat, Jef Aérosol, Miss Tic…
Enfin, la jeune création française ne sera pas en reste dans ce paysage
urbain aux accents internationaux. En effet, ses représentants les plus en
vue sur la scène des expositions parisiennes seront de la partie. Nasty,
Snake,Yaze, Alexöne, Babou, Misterchat, Vuille, L’Atlas, Space Invader…
investiront les murs de l’Hôtel Dassault pour la seconde fois cette année.
Gageons que le graffiti remportera un nouveau succès pour le plus grand
plaisir des inconditionnels du Street Art.

YOUNITY PRESENTS: HEART & SOUL, AN ART EXHIBITION & BOOK LAUNCH
Second Annual Exhibit Features 60 Avant-Garde Urban Contemporary
Female Artists
Queens, NY (September 2008)— We are excited to announce the
second annual YOUNITY art exhibition entitled Heart & Soul opening
on October 17th, 2008 at Alphabeta in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. As a
celebratory theme between 60 international women artists and what they
identify as "heart and soul," the exhibit promises an urban landscape
installation piece that unifies and pushes the boundaries of graffiti,
photography, urban contemporary art and fine art.
The exhibition will showcase original artwork by current YOUNITY
members as part of an indoor/outdoor site specific installation that
pays homage to the urban landscape. Members include world-renowned
artists: MAD C (Germany), Aiko Nakagawa (Japan), Faith47 (South Africa),
Krista Franklin (Chicago), and Diana McClure (NYC), to name a few. Only
60 out of 300 female urban artists were selected to participate in this
special exhibit. Works will range from hand-styles and graphics to
collage and abstract riffs---all expressing ideas on female identity,
the urban habitat, life and love.
The exhibit will also launch the Heart and Soul book, comprised of 60
artworks formatted for a 5x8 inch postcard-style flipbook. It is the
first publication in the YOUNITY collector's book series that will
showcase the work of current YOUNITY members. The Heart and Soul book
will retail for $19.50 and will be sold at targeted, limited locations.
Premiere copies will be available at the YOUNITY Heart & Soul event.
Overall, only 120 books in this special series will be available.
YOUNITY is the first ever international women's urban contemporary
art collective that brings female artists into a global networking
system as a means to create art exhibitions, installations, books and a
much needed archive of women's urban contemporary art. With the success
of their premiere exhibit, The C R O S S O V E R, YOUNITY has become a
sought after collective devoted to women with an inherent need to
perfect their craft through self-expression, surpass male dominance and
pass the torch on to younger female artists. For this project, only 60
out of 300 female urban artists were selected to participate with styles
that range from hand-styles, graphics and collage to abstract riffs on
the female identity, the urban habitat, life and love.
YOUNITY is in need of continued support to foster its self-publishing endeavors and independent growth.
Any and all donations to the collective can be directed to:
contribute@theyounity.com via PayPal.

Mike Giant
Opening reception, October 11th, 2008 from 7-11 pm. The show runs
through November 1st premiering a solo exhibition of 60 plus works.
Recently retired from tattooing to focus on his fine art career,
Giant also promotes his clothing line REBEL8, which he began here in San
Francisco with partner Joshy D in 2003. Giant claims that although
"it's been great to focus on drawings more than tattoos, admittedly [he]
still enjoys working in skin on occasion." Like his art, the line
highlights his trademark skulls, icons, and tattooed girls.
There is no denying Giant’s high skill level in creating the seamless
images crafted by his Sharpie. Focusing now on his drawings, Giant has
been able to add written comments and anecdotes to his illustrations
welcoming viewers into his mind. His signature style harks back to old
school print techniques that required defined line work and a steady
hand, which Giant perfected through his studies of Architecture and
Graphic Design. A stint in Amsterdam also influenced and added to
Giant’s collection of works where he kicked back on his rented
houseboat. Ultimately, it is Giant’s respect for a traditional
technique; versus creating computer-generated images, and his attention
to detail that warrant him a master at his craft.
Romon Kimin Yang aka Rostarr, was born in South Korea but has lived in NY since 1989. He has been a key figure in the city's underground art scene and has exhibited extensively throughout the United States, Asia and Europe.
His free-formed work comes across as a universe of abstract and geometrical shapes from which symbolic and iconographic elements emerge in elegant and incisive gestural strokes. His work is defined by an expression he calls 'Graphysics', meaning the fusion of graphic art and design and the physical laws governing the movement of energy. His work extends into the mediums of painting, digital media, sculpture, textile and public art projects with the Barnstormers collective.
Yang graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 1993. In 2000, he was featured as one of I.D. magazine's "I.D. 40 under 30". In 2004, he was recognized as an honoree at the A.I.C.P. show held yearly at the New York Museum of Modern Art and his work has been reviewed by Art Forum, Modern Painters, The New York Times and Artnet.com among other prominent publications.
BLVD is proud to present "Fanatic" a group show that explores the
enthusiasm expressed in "Fan" art. The artists participating in this
show were given the task of creating art that is in tribute to
something that they are truly a fan of. It did not matter whether it
was related to entertainment, though much of it is, or cultural
pursuits but had to be straight from the heart. BLVD Gallery is
fanatic about the vibrant talent here in Seattle so most of the
artists involved are from the area and are showing with us for the
first time. Intermixed with them are some veteranos like Pars and Ego,
as well as a surprise installation from longtime gallery fixtures Zeta
Mek.

The book is hard bound in a limited edition of 1000 copies, and has been
designed by José Parlá and Iain Cadby.

With an introduction by Paul Jones of the Elms Lesters Painting Rooms, a

undoubtedly the most comprehensive study and overview of Parlá's work to
date.
The book includes a giant gatefold and oversized illustrations incorporated
in a special feature at the back.
The highest print production technologies and materials have been used to
ensure exceptional colour reproduction of the works, including exquisite

CA. "FASHION AND GRAFFITI." Oct/Nov 2008. Seeking cutting-edge
graffiti art. Open all who can hand-deliver. Deadline: Sept 12. Send
images (3 max.) to bschumacher1@pacific.edu .

7th in the gallery, and on October 18th, we are holding a full-scale
outdoor runway show on Pacific’s campus, complete with light trucks and
a professional dj.
Aside from the fashion, artists will perform live graffiti during the

everyday runway. Graffiti art will also be exhibited alongside
avant-garde concept clothing in the gallery.The purpose of the
exhibition is to examine the relationship between citizens, popular art,
and the urban environment. We anticipate a huge crowd: the show will be

Exhibition: Urban Pin Up
From the October 5th until November 9th work of
Asia and Yereth Jansen will be exposed at 'Skek:
Skek
Zeedijk 4 - 8
1012 AX Amsterdam
Opening
Sunday 5th of October, 16:00
During the exhibition several photos will be exposed, together with art objects created by Asia, which represent the style and theme of the project also brought forward in the photos. The exposed photos will be available for sale after the exhibition.
The project is inspired on early pin up styles seen in the 50s and 60s, most notably represented by Bettie Page, mixed with an underground style from the world of graffiti. The images strive to bring the two worlds in harmony with one another.
The power of the images lies in joining the two different styles into one; letting the two worlds meet harmoniously. This is represented in the clothing, make-up style, attributes and environment.
The suit has been created especially for the photo-shoot. The fan, umbrella and the gloves have been painted by Asia with Montana paint. The different attributes represent the female artist where two worlds meet.
The photos were taken in a squat in Amsterdam Noord; a place that has been the home to many graffiti artists and a fitting environment to our theme.
Showcasing a mix of Bristol, UK and international graffiti and street
artists, you'll be able to buy one-off canvasses and limited edition
prints from the likes of Mr Jago, Inkie, Dora, China Mike and Zase and
there are many more established artists and emerging new talents also
exhibiting.
The preview night is on 2nd October between 7-10pm at 140-142
Gloucester Road. Drinks will be provided by the usual pissed off
minions.

Joys … a piece of Me è il nuovo progetto espositivo Joys per Allegra Ravizza Art Project che inaugurerà nello spazio di via Gorani, 8 il 24 settembre alle 18:00.
Famoso per il suo lettering tridimensionale, Joys presenterà in mostra lavori inediti, tra cui un progetto site specific, sculture, nuovi loop ed evoluzione 3d della ricerca bidimensionale murale dell’artista, che nelle sue opere fonde brillanti cromatismi con geometrie e architetture impossibili à la Escher, unendole all’irriverente potenza espressiva del writing.
Da anni l’artista infatti ha esteso il suo linguaggio anche alla scultura, utilizzando materiali diversi ma mantenendo sempre uno stile inconfondibile, quello stesso stile che da oltre 15 anni lo rende inconfondibile sui muri di tutto il mondo, da Sarajevo a New York City, a Venezia e Milano.
1992. Come molti writer comincia scrivendo il suo nome su un muro. Come molti focalizza la sua ricerca sul lettering, ma in breve tempo Joys dà vita al suo lavoro, che dopo esser nato sul muro prende vita e si arricchisce di spessore e matericità. La sua ricerca va oltre le due dimensioni e acquista nel tempo una plasticità che si appropria del territorio e della fruizione di un pubblico involontario e inconsapevole.
In bilico tra undeground e istituzionale, la ricerca di Joys è stata riconosciuta dagli addetti ai lavori del sistema dell’arte come inedita e personalissima, grazie anche al suo maniacale studio del lettering: forme che nel tempo si stratificano e si arricchiscono di livelli e linee con cui Joys ha costruito labirinti impossibili dove nulla è lasciato al caso e le forme ubbidiscono sempre a precise regole logiche e geometriche.
Anche con Joys… piece of me, l’artista prosegue nella direzione della geometria e del cromatismo in una mostra di cui il pubblico simbolicamente possiederà una parte, visto che gli inviti della mostra– che in inglese significa proprio un pezzo di me – sono realmente una parte di Joys e della sua operazione artistica, visto che componendoli si ricrea a grandezza naturale il prototipo del graffito realizzato in galleria, che avvolgerà lo spettatore in un labirinto di lettere, linee e colori.
Realizzato in poche ore sulle pareti della galleria di Allegra Ravizza, il graffito non solo si potrà ammirare ultimato, ma anche durante i lavori di realizzazione, grazie al dvd che testimonierà l’azione di live painting dell’artista e che sarà disponibile in galleria il giorno dell’inaugurazione.
