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.

CA, Los Angeles: July 7-29, 2012: Marka27, Neo Indigenous
Victor "MARKA27" Quiñonez brings his critically acclaimed new body of work, Neo Indigenous, to the City of Angels on Saturday, July 7, 2012, from 7-10pm. Hot off the heels of his packed-house New York City premiere, MARKA27 indulges Angelino tastemakers at Crewest Gallery (110 Winston Street, Los Angeles, 90013) with his newest mix-media exhibit. From July 7 - 29 art lovers will journey through the artist’s exploration of binding ancient Aztec, African, and Asian art forms with modern pop culture and street art.
Neo Indigenous celebrates Marka27’s highly-anticipated return to Los Angeles. Representing a shift in the artist’s cultural consciousness, Neo Indigenous embodies Marka27’s quest to bridge past with present, illustrating his yearning to bring deeper meaning to both old and new art forms. By juxtaposing ancient elements with contemporary design aesthetics, Marka27 reveals both a connection and a disjuncture in the process. Challenging viewers to confront the existing practice of commodifying art, the exhibit leaves a lasting impression-- a mark Marka27 has predicated his reputation on.
Using multiple mediums such as paintings, collectible vinyl toys and speakers, silk screen panels, and prints, Neo Indigenous is a sensory feast of the artist’s ability to float seamlessly between varying art forms. As a special treat and tribute to a city he once called home, never-before-seen works will be unveiled and the artist himself will create a live installation piece. Having worked with clients such as Pioneer Electronics, VH1, Disney, Scion, and Kidrobot, Marka27’s LA premiere is the go-to event of the summer!

“FROM KHEMET 2 AZTLAN” An International African Diaspora Spray Can Art Conference
Dedicated to Ending Youth Violence
The art genre known culturally to its practitioners, as “Writing” has been a vital part of the American inner-city landscape since the late 1960’s. Sprouting roots from the ghettos and subways of New York City, Spray Can Writing has extended its cultural influence to youth across the nation and the world. In honor of African History AEROSOUL brings focus to the Black/African contribution, narrative and experience in Spray Can Art.
The Bay Area Aerosol Heritage Society, also known as AeroSoul, is proud to present the third AeroSoul event, following two successful annual Conference Exhibits in Los Angeles and the Bay Area. “AeroSoul 3” 2012 will kick off on July 13th, and be followed by a 6 month-long series of events including an artist panel, slide show lectures, youth art workshops, live painting, and educational seminars. With a showcase of over 50 well-known Spray can artists from around the globe, AeroSoul has the propensity to bring forward a movement that will enlighten the minds and spirits of the community at large, sending shock waves of change to a society in desperate need of social face lift.
AeroSoul 3 will showcase some of the most cutting-edge, dynamic Black Hip Hop Calligraphers in the world, featuring artists from Writing’s east coast origins to the new lettering stylists of the day. The AeroSoul line up is very impressive this year with a cast of writers from New York’s 1970s & '80s era such as Riff170, Slave TF5, Butch2, Tean TMT, Kade TMT, Chain3, Skeme, Shame125, Sak MBT, and Soon1 to name a few. This historical event is of utmost importance in giving recognition to the visionary creators of this urban craft.
The fact that these contributions are rarely shown in their proper historical context if acknowledged at all has also been a driving force for AeroSoul to bring these gems to light. African/Black contributions to world history have been more than ample and significant particularly in the field of the arts and culture.

France, Bordeaux: May 19 - June 16, 2012: Kay One
L'Envers vous convie à la première exposition solo de
KAY ONE "CASH BRIBES ONLY
//// EXPOSITION : du 19 mai 2012 au 16 juin 2012 ////
//// Début des festivités en présence de l'artiste : Samedi 19 mai à 18h ////
Kay One a commencé à peindre en 1984 après avoir découvert le Graffiti aux États-Unis.
C’est en 1985, pendant les années d’or de ce mouvement, avec le fameux terrain vague de Stalingrad à Paris que KAY ONE rencontre les artistes qui feront partie de sa “famille”, les TRP (The Renegade Painters) dont notamment BANGA et SAN. Il multiplie alors les collaborations avec de nombreux «Graffiti writers», entre autres MODE 2 et BANDO.
En 1986, il rencontre les TKC (The Kool Crackers) puis peint avec les NTM (Nique Ta Mère) qui lui présenteront les 93 MC (93 Mafia Crew) avant de fusionner avec ces derniers, faisant de 93 NTM le groupe le plus remarqué de sa décennie.
Afin d'illustrer au mieux cette modeste exploration de la culture Hip-HOP, l'exposition sera jalonnée, tous les samedis, d'interventions amicales de divers artistes.
du body-painting avec le SKINJACKING (Bordeaux) de l' aérographie avec BANGA (Paris), de la photographie avec ALAIN GARNIER (Paris)
et SABINE GRENET (Bordeaux), et, comme d' habitude à L' ENVERS, des fanzines et du tatouage...
