WHERE THE NEON ROAM 2. SEPTEMBER


WHERE THE NEON ROAM 2. SEPTEMBER kl. 17-21 RAMSHERRED 6, 4700 NÆSTVED
I 2001 mødtes Morten Andersen og Jakob Tolstrup tilfældigt en mørk efterårsaften i Aalborg. Det var vådt og koldt, men de var kampklar med regntøj, elefanthuer, spraydåser, skumle hensigter og en plan: ét eller andet skulle overmales med deres svedige graffiti – og sådan blev det – rigtig meget endda. I den følgende tid mødtes de nemlig ofte og sprayede løs. Med tiden gled Morten og Jakob dog fra hinanden igen.
9 år senere i 2010 mødtes de igen. Denne gang en varm sommeraften i Berlin, med svale øl, anekdoter og helt nye planer i støbeskeen. Begge er blevet ved med at male og tegne, og siden de sidst hang ud, har de hver især udviklet deres eget unikke billedsprog – og forbløffende nok har de uafhængigt af hinanden formået at klare turen fra uskyldigt provinshærværk til toppen af dansk samtidskunst. Det sker ellers ikke for ret mange.
Morten Andersens unikke, abstrakte stil har åbnet døre i en verden, hvor der sædvanligvis er mange dygtige folk om buddet. Bag sig har han udstillinger i bl.a. Paris, Berlin, London og på Carhartts klassegalleri i Basel; med andre ord er han på vej mod den europæiske kunstelite. Jakob Tolstrup skaber konkrete billeder i en lækker, dansk, underfundig stil, som har gjort ham til en efterspurgt illustrator og plakatkunstner. Bag sig har han bl.a. udstillinger hos MOHS i København og Wolfsen i Aalborg, hvor han har opnået kultstatus for sit enorme talent og afvigende univers.
Både Morten og Jakob indgår allerede i flere interessante samlinger i ind og udland.
Det er debuterende kurator Rasmus Ejaas Fischer, der står bag det stort anlagte duo-show hos Galleri Tom Franke i Næstved, og det er med overordentlig stor glæde og stolthed, at det er lykkedes – Næstved er jo ikke ligefrem Danmarks kunstcentrum. Men Tom Franke mener det altså alvorligt, når han siger, at han vil skabe noget unikt i provinsen. Der er fernisering d. 2. september, kl. 17-21. Showet bærer navnet ”Where the Neon Roam”, og det bliver et af årets vigtigste danske shows.

Som Tom siger: Jeg kender Rasmus og havde ingen betænkeligheder ved at lade han kuratere en udstilling efter eget ønske – og han har da også leveret! At få fløjet to danske gulddrenge fra Berlin til Næstved beviser jo bare, at det har været tilliden værd. Og nu får Næstved så endnu et klasseshow på bykortet!”

WHERE THE NEON ROAM


Jakob Tolstrup / Morten Andersen
Året er 2001, Morten og Jakob møder hinanden første gang foran en graffiti mur i Aalborg. Jakob står og maler og Morten kommer tilfældigt forbi, de udveksler numre og mødes derefter flere gange for at male sammen de følgende år. Uafhængigt af hinanden er de begge to bevæget sig fra graffitien over til moderne kunst.
Efter de ikke har set hinanden i 7-8 år, mødes de til en øl i studiet i Berlin da Jakob er på beøg i byen og hvor Morten er bosiddende. Nu er de begge bosat i Berlin og deler studio.
På trods af deres forskellige stilarter, som spænder over abstrakt til det figurative, så er der stadig en rød tråd der fører tilbage til graffitien.

Nu udstiller de sammen på Galleri Tom Franke d 2. september 2011

CATCH THE BEAT: THE ROOTS OF PUNK & HIP HOP


The Morrison Hotel Gallery is unveiling a new exhibit tomorrow called "Catch the Beat: The Roots of Punk & Hip Hop," which will feature the photography of Janette Beckman and David Corio. The two documented the punk and hip hop movements of the 70s and 80s as they both freelanced for rival weekly papers in London (Melody Maker and New Musical Express). They both later moved to New York, documented the hip hop scene in the 80s, and eventually became friends. They discussed their joint show, which comes many decades after first meeting, and say:

"This exhibition is the first time we have been able to show our Punk and Hip Hop images together—and may be the first time that both music genres have been seriously exhibited alongside each other. Whereas photographs of other musicians from the 1970's to the 1990's are often shown in galleries, it is refreshing to see that there are also exciting images from these two important genres that changed the world of music. We hope this exhibition will help viewers to realize how important Punk and Hip Hop are to the history of music and photography."

Olas Bjørnson
Anders Gerning
Martin C. Fagerlund
Thor Leon Olsen

Hope to see you there.

3D GRAF ANIMATION


Serge Gainsbourg - animation des graffitis sur 5 ans du mur rue de Verneuil from Arnaud Jourdain on Vimeo.


Here’s a very interesting image piece done outside Parisian musician Serge Gainsbourg’s home. The short film shows graffiti that was painted continuously between a five year span on one wall in the street of Verneuil, Paris. The footage took thousands of photographs to create and was transformed into 3D effect seen in this video.

SMASH 137




An in-depth look at a style in flux, 'SMASH 137 – smash proof' traces the various style excursions and developments of SMASH 137—one of Europe's finest contemporary graffiti writers—as he chases the elusive "perfect style". Never content with resting on his reputation or accepting in-vogue styles, Smash keeps busy mixing it up and pushing his letter forms to the limit. Author Amber Grünhäuser gives us the SMASH 137 "style" lowdown in a series of essays exploring his style lineage, the twists and turns of his style journey, the role of sketching and the 'State of the Line' in his work and his current thoughts and practices. All is revealed—including SMASH 137’s style philosophy and secrets. Be warned this is not for the faint hearted—this is style intensive!

"Firstly, what is style? I mean style is just about character, it’s about the personality you give to the letters, and style development is about sharpening the personality of these letters." SMASH 137

FROM STYLE WRITING TO ART





On the occasion of the publication of the book, From style writing to graffiti, a street art anthology, the gallery organizes a Graffiti and Street art exhibition which get together the masters of the 70s as well as their most important successors and the renovators of street art. An event which is in line with the commitment taken by Magda Danysz, for already more than 10 years in support of Graffiti and Street Art.

Proud to fight for the recognition of Graffiti and Street Art as a major artistic movement, Magda Danysz publishes this fall an anthology about the History of this key artistic movement.

The works of Seen, Crash, Quik show the historic sources of the street art. From the 70s they sprayed their names on the subways or walls of New York. Today, they are considered as the pioneers of this movement, the “Kings” as they were named back then. The 80s and 90s generation, embodied by Jonone, West, Miss Van, Space Invader shows diversity in street art. These different ways of expression are the testimony of a real transition from the Style Writing to an artistic manifestation. Among them, Jonone was one of the first ones to choose to express himself on canvas from 1991. Concerning Space Invader, he distances himself with use of the mosaic for instance.

As this exhibition is an illustration to the anthology of graffiti and street art written by Magda Danysz, the gallery features a special room with wall painting done by the artists on the occasion.

A very special project to celebrate a very special art movement : Publication of the first critical book about Street Art. About 400 pages explain and go into details the artistic aspect of this movement. "In the beginning, there was a the tag and the inscriptions on walls. It gave birth to the wild writing and to the graffiti. What was transformed into what we know now under the name of Urban Art or Street Art. A complex and interesting movement which deserves much more than of simple shortcuts.

From Style Writing to Art, a Street Art anthology, aims at explaining how Street Art became an major artistic movement at the turn of the 21th century. This book is interested in the pioneers of the graffiti who became famous from the 60s, the it explores the success of the artists of the 80s, and finally it looks into the new questions and practices of the 90s.

Extract: "It’s time to stand for a truth, or maybe it’s just time for me to speak up for truth. A truth that struck me so hard, and so young, my whole life has been all about that truth, ever since my teenage years. This is about how I consider and feel so absolutely that Street Art is the most interesting artistic movement at the turn of the century. Let me repeat myself on this, if only for the skeptic eye, for the blind and lost, or for the latecomers who just missed the boat: urban art is the most important artistic movement in the turn of our century. Talents are born in the history of graffiti, itself born in the recent history of urban art. This finally allows us not to answer the famous “But… is it really art?” question. Out of this both compact and diffuse form of expression, real art practices have emerged, absolutely unquestionable in terms of quality and longevity. "

Coauthor Mary Noelle Dana, 400 pages, 200 illustrations, published by Drago
