ISO50 - Toronto

Scott Hansen aka Tycho aka ISO50 has designed another beautiful poster for his next gig in Toronto.  If you're anywhere in Canada on the 20th I highly recommend you see his live AV set at the Toronto Art Show After Party.

One Horse Town (Part II)

Since you all loved our last post so much, here's some more from the Cape Town duo One Horse Town. Can't be compared to The Ames Bros., but their stuff is breathing alive, at least slightly comical and always attractive.

April 29 A Forca da Rua at the Cuckoo Club Custom Guitar benefit show UK

The ABC Trust is pleased to present A Força da Rua (Force of the Street), an exclusive contemporary street art project bringing together 12 of the finest artists from Brazil and the UK, including D*Face, Inkie, Titi Freak, Speto and Calma. Each artist will create a unique piece of art that will help raise funds and awareness for Brazil’s most vulnerable children.

Gibson Guitar - a long time supporter of the ABC Trust charity - have donated 12 of their most iconic guitars including Les Paul, Melody Maker, Flying V and SG - to be customised. These will then be exhibited at a central London location and sold at a high profile VIP charity art auction at the Cuckoo Club on 29 April.

The ABC Trust (Action For Brazil’s Children’s Trust), whose co-founder and Patron is Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, have chosen graffiti and street art to work with as it reflects the rebellious free spirit of music and Brazil’s creative youth. Each of the artists’ work for the guitars reflects how art and music should be accessible and available to young people without discrimination and have the ability to inspire and transform.

UK ARTISTS

D*FACE | KID ACNE | INKIE | REMI/ROUGH | WILL BARRAS | PURE EVIL

BRAZILIAN ARTISTS

SPETO | RAMON MARTINS | CALMA | TITI FREAK | DANIEL MELIM | TINHO

There will also be a public competition hosted by a panel of judges including Cedar Lewisohn (Tate Modern Curator), graffiti expert and author Tristan Manco (including Graffiti Brasil, Thames & Hudson 2005), filmmaker Lorna Lavelle, participating artist INKIE and Francesca Gavin, Dazed & Confused Magazine’s Visual Arts Editor and author of Street Renegades: New Underground Art (published by Laurence King). The competition will be launched this month, inviting UK residents to submit their own designs for customising a Gibson guitar, inspired by the project title, with the opportunity for the winning work to be featured as part of the exhibition.

As well as the exhibition and auction, a short documentary film will be made about the project by filmmaker of the moment Lorna Lavelle, known for her recent stunning series of shorts for Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and SHOWstudio, as well as music videos Lupe Fiasco and UNKLE, and the forthcoming re-mastered version of the Warhol-era satire Brand X (for which Lorna is both re-mastering and directing an accompanying documentary) and the Brazilian graffiti art documentary Weapon of Choice.

New Ian Millard original at NoWhere Limited Art show Thawed Out Visions of the Future during the Frozen Dead Guys Festival

Check out Ian's new original Commotion only for sale at www.nowherelimited.com

Nederland, Colorado, home to NOWhere Limited Gallery, is a unique community that "thrives on the colorful, the offbeat, and the weird." Its annual Frozen Dead Guy Days festival is a "fitting way to end the short days of winter and head into the melting snows of spring." The history of this fun and wacky town-wide celebration "stretches from Norway to California to Colorado, involving cryonics, deportation, psychics, celebrations, and a dedicated Ice Man."*

NOWhere Limited's latest exhibit Thawed Out: Visions of the Future was inspired by the festival. We invited artists from across North America to imagine what the world will be like when the technology exists to revive the Frozen Dead Guy.

ARTISTS INCLUDED IN THE EXHIBIT:
Bob Conge / PlaSeeBo, Fleck, Ian Gamache, William D. Hood, Chris Huang, Max Kauffman, Killingstar, Scott Lickstein, Scott Listfield, Ian Millard, Alanna Sarti, Elisha Sarti and Mike Slobot.

BMW Art Cars & LACMA Roundup

Stopped by the LACMA for a pleasant surprise to see some old-school custom car collaborations between BMW and some familiar names. What’s that saying… “so old, it’s new?” The Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella, and Andy Warhol painted BMW Art Cars, a series starting in the 70’s, will be on display in the BP Grand Entrance and can be seen free of admission. A little late notice on our part though, as today is the final day of the exhibition. If you do happen make it out there, also check out the collection of Koons they have on display that look similar to the set that was part of the controversial Versailles exhibition that ended recently.
