EU project in the West Bank needs two EU artists « Result #78 on Jan 19, 2009, 12:49pm »
Hi there, I'm working as the project coordinator for an EU funded project created by the Open Workshop for Culture and Art and The Women Affairs Technical Committee in the West Bank City of Ramallah, Palestine. Currently I'm seeking two EU artists to take part in a Cultural Exchange. The artists should be able to share unique skills pertaining to public art to local artists. The result of this project will be a 20 meter long sculpted mural divided between Ramallah and East Jerusalem. Interested? Or, do you know any (EU) artists who may be interested in taking part in this for two weeks? If so let me know and I'll send you the concept note for the proposal. All costs for the artist will be covered. The theme of the mural is "Celebrating Women in Culture" and currently we're planning to sculpt (and at times sketch) the majority of the mural from (or into) clay, however we're extremely open to alternative ideas regarding material. It is hoped that the EU artists will contribute an alternative method of creating the large scale public art, or may contribute in sculpting techniques.
The edition or originals of that pic (Doc Martens & Bird) did come out (in august 2007) and they are still available thru Opus. Maybe the midst of the summer wasn't the right period and neither Opus or myself publicized that on the forums... So here's the info : It's an edition of 11 originals on brown paper, signed, dated and numbered. All hand sprayed. All different backgrounds stains and drips and various red arrow locations.
Some of you seemed to be awaiting for that print, from what I could read in the thread and from some pms I got, so I thought this reminder could be useful !
Some see it as a way of reclaiming public space, to others it's reckless vandalism.
In the year Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought an image by British urban artist Banksy for £1m, this two-part series explores the global boom in street art.
The series looks at the phenomenon of street art in two very different cities, New York and Sao Paulo.
Taking to the streets, Elbow-Toe meets Nunca.
Each artist is a symptom of their age, and their neighbourhood.
Joby Waldman accompanies them while they work, meeting their families and artistic circles - creating highly personal audio portraits of the personality behind the spray paint.
The series will look at the differing role street art plays in developing and developed countries - the relationship between street art and graffiti, and how the rise of street art has led to an increase in paintings disappearing from the street - only to reappear on ebay.
Programme one focuses on New York through the eyes of Elbow-Toe. Despite his frivolous name, Elbow-Toe is a serious painter.
Photo gallery: New York street art
Art school educated, he operates from his studio in Brooklyn where he produces posters which he then pastes on the walls of his neighbourhood, and occasionally in the display cases of local galleries.
This programme joins him on a late night fly-posting mission in Brooklyn. What drives a married man in his mid 30's to risk imprisonment for an art form which offers no direct revenue?
How does "Mrs Elbow-Toe" feel about being married to a fugitive?
We also hear from one of graffiti's earliest practitioners - Json aka Terror 161, who painted subway trains back in the early 1970s - to hear how street art has changed, and from members of the public and the Metropolitan Transport Authority staff responsible for cleaning graffiti off the subway.
As street art moves into the gallery can it retain its credibility?
Is painting the streets a viable route for aspiring artists to achieve gallery success?
