BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
As a 2-man graffiti/street art crew, how do you collaborate on a canvas with Flying Fortress?
Hera?
Various & Gould?
Rocco and His Brothers?
Mad C?
It’s a multi-layered process.
That’s what we found out today when we got a sneak preview of LAYER CAKE at the Museum of Graffiti with Co-founder Alan Ket leading the way. The Munich-based duo landed in Miami last night to attend tonight’s opening in the Wynwood District.
“Versus III” is the latest iteration of this back-and-forth project between Layer Cake and some of the most accomplished and avant-garde names on the European (and American) graffiti/street art scenes. Ket and co-founding partner Allison Freidin and the museum team are hosting the two former graffiti writers Patrick Hartl and Christian “C100” Hundertmark tonight for a special reception in the main gallery. We thought you’d like to see some behind-the-scenes shots of the installation.
Come through tonight for a special talk tonight with Urban Nation’s Steven P. Harrington and Jaime Rojo with the artists about the politics, practices, and possibilities that can pop up when you ship your painted canvas off the someone else and say “do whatever you want to this – and send it back”.
The guys will be showing us photos of the stages of the process and telling the audience how their lives have changed from being graffiti writers to being regarded as contemporary urban artists.
Also, there will be cake. See you there!
Layer Cake – The Versus Project 3. Miami, Florida. Opens on O2.03.23 for the general public. Click HERE for more details, schedules, tickets, etc.
