Out know "SURCOMIXXXX # 3"

2011-02-10T17:35:00.001+01:00

SURCOMIXXXX # 3 ist ein Projekt in dem sich junge Talente aus Freiburg einer an Comics und Graphic-Novels interessierten Öffentlichkeit vorstellen möchten. Darunter Studierende der Freien Hochschule für Grafik-Design und Bildende Kunst Freiburg, und einige Freiburger Urban Art Künstler.
Die Reihe SURCOMIXXXX soll zeigen, dass es in Freiburg eine lebendige und kreative Szene junger Künstler gibt.

Zur Geschichte von SURCOMIXXXX:
SURCOMIXXXX entstand 2003 als gemeinsames Projekt des amerikanischen Schriftstellers Raymond Federman (Paris, 1928 – San Diego, 2010), des Illustrators Dirk Görtler und Studierender der Freiburger Grafik Schule (2007 fusioniert mit der Freie Hochschule für Grafik-Design und Bildende Kunst, Freiburg).
Der postmoderne amerikanische Schriftstelle Raymond Federman entwickelte ein literarisches Konzept, welches er »Surfiction« nannte, nachzulesen in seinem Buch »Surfiction: Der Weg der Literatur«, Frankfurt 1991.

2002 stellten Raymond Federman und Dirk Görtler fest, dass sie Beide eine Vorliebe für Comics haben. Daraus wurde die Idee geboren, Federmans Kurzgeschichten einmal als Basis für Comics zu nehmen und diese unter dem Titel Surcomixxxx zu publizieren.

Robert Crumb begründete 1967 mit »ZAP COMIX« die so genannten »Underground Comix«, was eine Befreiung der Comics von kommerziellen Bedingungen ermöglichte und Comix als künstlerisches Medium neu definierte. Deshalb die Schreibweise Surcomix mit x, als eine Referenz an Crumb zu verstehen. Die Verwendung von vier XXXX erklärt sich wiederum aus dem Werk von Raymond Federman, wo diese vier Buchstaben für die in den 1940er Jahren von den Nazis ermordeten Familienangehörigen stehen.
Nach Federmans und Görtlers der Idee das Medium Comic nutzen, war der nächste Schritt, geeignete Zeichnerinnen und Zeichner zu finden, schnell getan. Diese wurden unter Grafik-Design Studenten in Freiburg gefunden. Das Ergebnis war sehr spannend und konnte 2003 beim Internationalen Comix Festival »Fumetto« in Luzern vor- und ausgestellt werden. Dieser Erfolg spornte an, weitere Comics zu zeichnen und dafür eigene Stories zu schreiben. So kam im Jahre 2005 Surcomixxxx # 2 zustande.

Bei Dirk Görtlers Tätigkeit als Dozent für Illustration an der Freien Hochschule für Grafik-Design und Bildende Kunst in Freiburg sind Comics/Graphic-Novels inzwischen ein fester Bestandteil des Unterrichts geworden. Im Laufe der Zeit entstanden dabei so viele spannende Comics, dass irgendwann Surcomixxxx # 3 eine Auswahl daraus präsentieren musste. Nun ist es endlich soweit. Mit dabei sind auch ein paar alte Hasen, die schon in früheren Ausgaben vertreten waren, zum Beispiel Hardy Kaiser, Wolfgang Keller und Tom Brane (= Mitherausgeber Thomas Knab).
Die Themen reichen von seltsamen Auftritten der Wikinger über die dunkle Geschichte eines seltsamen Sammlers bis hin zu fast postmodern anmutenden, in die Trickkiste der Comic-Geschichte greifenden Retro-Comics. Und mit der Postmoderne, die eigentlich ein Phänomen der 1970er Jahre war, sind wir wieder bei Raymond Federman, einem der bedeutendsten Autoren der amerikanischen postmodernen Literatur angekommen.
Raymond Federman starb 2010 in San Diego im Alter von 82 Jahren. Ihm und seinem sehr speziellen Humor ist diese Ausgabe von Surcomixxxx gewidmet.

New Artbook "1,000 Ideas for Graffiti and Street Art"

2011-01-25T16:25:00.002+01:00

Graffiti and street art used to be a sure sign of a neighborhood’s neglect. Even though it is still a countercultural art form, its role has grown: it enlivens public space, provides social commentary, and adds humor and color to the urban and suburban landscape.

1,000 Ideas for Graffiti and Street Art is a showcase of urban art suitable for artists of any medium, designers, and other creative artists looking for urban-style inspiration for their visual work. A visual catalog, it is both a practical, inspirational handbook and a coffee-table conversation piece. Graffiti and street artists—rebellious and non-rebellious alike—will relish the opportunity to have so many ideas for color play, illustration, and wild expressions at their fingertips.

Inside you’ll find:

-1,000 photographs of graffiti and other types of urban art, with captions that feature location (city, state, country) artist name (if known).

-Artwork sorted into categories such as letterforms, stencils, portraits, murals, nature, tags, throw-ups, pieces, and productions

-Urban art glossary, basic aerosol painting and street art techniques, and more

dust10 cover for the "AMOS Showtime" LP, ursprünglich hochgeladen von dirtydust

Rock-Album and Art-Project "Showtime" is the new Rock-Album by the german-iranian musician and entertainer AMOS.
"Showtime" is also an international art-event.

The record will be released on 26 August 2010 on Sounds of Subterrania in Hamburg.
On vinyl with a blank white cover. More than 450 visual artists from all over the world and across all genres are creating individual artworks. They live in Munich, Berlin, Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, on the Phillipines, in Budapest, Rome or Barcelona.

The price for the artwork including the record is set by the visual artist himself. All one-off pieces will be presented and for sale in an online-gallery on www.amos-showtime.com.

Also starting on 26 August 2010, there will be a five-week-tour through Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland with exhibitions in offline galleries and "Showtime"-Release-Concerts. Vernissages and concerts will be combined to full-evening-events.

On this platform - especially via the blog in our Newsroom - we want to provide you with inside information about AMOS' new music, about all participants and the work in progress. This blog should serve you as a tool for researching, networking or simply for having some fun. We are looking forward to you coming back frequently and are happy for your comments.

We don't want to miss pointing out that this whole project is, of course, commercially driven. The AMOS Showtime provides a chance for artists to sell their work. Hopefully we will reach a synergy for all participants. The visual artists will present and interpret AMOS. In return, AMOS and his label present and promote the visual artists for the ears and the eyes. Art pieces are made to stimulate your senses, but don't forget that those stimulators need to make a living. Support them and preserve their art by buying it...

G40: The Summit (USA)

2010-02-24T20:51:00.004+01:00

G40: The Summit
5 Floors
500+ Artists
75,000 sqft
Curated Visual and Performance Art

A dynamic contemporary art exhibition featuring curated works from artists around the world on display for a full month, featuring musical and visual performances, lectures, live painting and much more!

Art Whino teams up with Crystal City BID and Vornado to present G-40: The Summit, a month long exhibition and event series featuring over 500 artists from around the world.

The mission of G40: The Summit is to bring the leaders of the New Brow genre together in Crystal City, VA in an effort to explore, discuss and grow this movement. G-40: The Summit will be a culmination of ideas and processes, brought together and highlighted by region and style, creating, for the first time, a full cross examination of this genre.

This event will feature 75,000sqft of exhibition space with 4 floors of art! Each floor will represent different hot hubs of the New Brow movement: The DC, New York, and California metro areas, plus one all encompassing floor for international and other regional artists. Visitors of G-40: The Summit will, for the first time, be able to experience entire floors showcasing artists from these regions, and because of this set up, connect the dots of how the different sub-cultures and environs affect the art. From the laid back California Style, to the fast paced New York way of living, the art will bring a fresh visual perspective that words cannot provide. With all the different styles in one place the New Brow movement, now growing and expanding worldwide, will be more comprehensible to the viewer, finally defining the line between the movement’s beginnings to its future. A movement that currently exists without much literature or founding in “traditional” institutions, yet includes some of the most highly recognizable and sought after art in the world, will inevitably become a major player in the intellectual and mainstream art world.

Each floor will have 10-30 “Showcased artists” who will activate the space with murals and installations, helping to set the mood for their region. In addition to the showcased artists we will have an additional 50-100 region specific artists exhibited on each floor. The show will run up for a month. During the month there will be musical and visual performances, lectures, and more. Also we will feature various art related groups and non-profits, helping to promote their mission and inspire ongoing conversations about the New Brow art world in DC and beyond.

Floors:

1 – Show information / performance area / Non Profit display / mixed use
5 – New York metro area artists
6 – Washington DC metro area artists
7 – California artists
8 – All Encompassing

Event Schedule:

Show Month: March 2010
Open Hours: Wednesdays & Thursdays: 5 – 10pm,
Fridays & Saturdays: 12pm – 12am
Sundays: 12pm – 6pm
Mondays & Tuesdays: Closed

We had to wait, but finally here it is...and it was definitely worth the wait! The world famous Waxolutionists from Vienna present their fifth long player "We Paint Colors"!
Following the success of their last 12" "Feet don´t fail me" feat. Dave Ghetto, Hezekiah & Mystic, "Flashlight" feat. Hygher Baby, and "Dance with me" feat. Dave Ghetto, Hezekiah & Mystic, the Waxos deliver a full spectrum on their LP.

Mainly produced by DJ Buzz, the Bionic Kid and the Twintowas are also responsible for some beats on the album, as well as for many of the live instruments, which create that organic sound we love! You can be sure there are also some fresh electronic beats for you hipster-beatheads out there!

RUN VIE vs INOPERAbLE (Vienna)

2009-09-26T17:42:00.003+02:00

MONTAG, 5.10.09
RUN VIE vs INOPERAbLE @ INOPERAbLE Gallery
Featuring: dust (Freiburg), ARO (Koblenz, oblique)

Plus: Presentation of the RUN VIE Shirtcollection by Keramik,
Chrisitee, Maiko, Mila Celladoor
sponsored and made by PERYD SHOU, the customization company
Music support by Kido Soon (313RADiO)

We run the night!

Es ist, wie es ist: Neben Detroit und Los Angeles hat sich Wien in den letzten Jahren zur Brutstätte einer wegweisenden Hip Hop-Underground-Szene entwickelt. „Endlich kommt auch wieder spannender Underground-Rap aus Mitteleuropa", schrieb etwa die Spex im Mai 2009.

We believe in new music. And soon you will too.

Wir finden, es ist höchste Zeit, der Masse einen Einblick in diesen regen Mikrokosmos zu geben.
Verschiedenste Produzenten- und Künstlerkollektive haben sich aus dem Wiener Underground empor gearbeitet, seien es Clubveranstalter wie The Loud Minority und Blue Flowers oder Labels wie Affine Records und Supercity. Sie stehen für ein anderes, ein neues Wien jenseits der Downtempo-Melange, pushen Musik von Morgen und haben über die Jahre für subtile, aber umso nachhaltigere Veränderungen im musikalischen Stadtbild gesorgt.

From the first to the last of it, delivery is passionate.

Alles, was unser Herz begeistert und bluten lässt, aber auch internationale Acts, die wir immer schon nach Wien einladen und selbst sehen bzw. hören wollten, finden in Form eines Mini-Festivals in der RUN VIE-Woche von 5. bis 10. Oktober 2009 Zeit, Platz und Gehör.

Done different.

Den Start der RUN VIE-Woche feiern wir am Montag, den 5. Oktober in der INOPERAbLE Gallery mit der Vernissage der Grafik & Streetart-Artists dust & ARO. Der erste Live-Act ist im Anschluss im Café Leopold zu sehen: das Berliner Beat Wiz Kid fLako, hosted by Blue Flowers.
Am Dienstag, 06.10., präsentieren wir die fulminante Multimedia-Remix-Reise „Cosmic War Of The Planets" von DJ Buzz im Bellaria Kino. Die nächste Premiere folgt am Mittwoch: gemeinsam mit den dekadenten Säcken vom Vice Magazine zerren wir erstmals die Vamummtn auf eine Bühne. Und nicht auf irgendeine. Beware!
Rare Grooves haben bei der MPM Labelnight am Donnerstag ihren Platz genauso wie zelebriertes Nerdtum, (Dis)Harmoniesucht und Beatgewitter freitags bei The Loud Minority, wenn Dorian Concept gemeinsam mit The Clonious, Mike Slott und Mastermind Dimlite aus der Schweiz die Knöpfe und Tasten ihrer Kastln manipulieren wird.
Für all die Sneakerfetischisten ist Sneakerness, eine Art Messe für Aussteller, Sammler und Trader, ein schönes Semifinale für den letzten Tag, bevor das Finale im neuen Club Praterei in Wiens heiß geliebter Pratersauna stattfindet, Horizonterweiterung und Ausgelassenheit inklusive.

Alles in allem: Eine Woche von den Heads für die Heads.

Let´s run the night together!

ILLUSTRATIVE 2009 (Berlin)

2009-09-11T13:08:00.001+02:00

Paris, Zurich and now Berlin: ILLUSTRATIVE 2009 will return to the creative capital to celebrate the cutting-edge works of contemporary graphic art for the fifth time around. From the 16th of October to the 1st of November, works ranging from drawing, graphic prints, painting and monumental mural collages to graphically inspired 3D-illustrations, book art and animation will be on show. With more than 60 artists from all across the world, ILLUSTRATIVE brings together an inspiring cornucopia of visual contemporary culture in the Villa Elisabeth located in the heart of Berlin.

ILLUSTRATIVE showcases an international scene of artist-designers, whose works have been inspired by subculture movements like comic and graffiti as well as by applied arts like illustration and book art. The exhibition explores the merging of infinite materials and techniques in widely unprecedented combinations, which challenge learned ways of seeing – e.g. the latest development, where illustration and graphics are translated into the third dimension, or new narrative strategies in 3D-animation.

Berlin Oct 16 - Nov 1, 2009
Opening (invitation only) Oct 15, 2009, 7pm
Villa Elisabeth, Invalidenstr. 3, 10115 Berlin

"darkdust - a new exhibition by dust" (Düsseldorf)

2009-08-12T13:34:00.001+02:00

Dust: darkdust

Pretty Portal, the Streetart and Urban Art Gallery in Düsseldorf, presents the new and impressive exhibition by dust.

Next to the artists established work on canvas and paper there will also be his new serial of sculptures and designtoys. Recently those „Schergen“ were successfully presented in the New York Gallery "MyPlasticheart" for the first time.

Dust's works open our eyes for a fragile and organic microcosm: For one moment it appears a fanciful picture that is vanished again with the next glance.

The works are focused on the vision of harmony between humans and nature. The abstract and reduced form of a human being, without its true identity - like animals in a consumer society. The artists style is a mixture of contemporary abstraction, surrealism and striking form and colour design.

Works are now not only seen in the streets of modern metropolises but also in contemporary galleries.

Exhibition: 21.08 - 18.09.

Vernissage: 21.08. 19h - 23h

Pretty Portal
Brunnenstr. 12

"Schwarz auf Weiss" style needs no color

2009-07-07T13:09:00.003+02:00

‘Schwarz auf Weiss’ (‚Black on White‘) seeks to make style the true center of attention - and rightly so. Within the pages of this book is a fine selection of characters, styles and vector graphics by international graffiti and street artists who work with the philosophy that „style needs no color“.
Abstaining from color really highlights the true essentials.

Black on white - rock on…

Release will be end of October 2009, stay tuned!!
