The Speerstra Gallery Paris is pleased to present the exhibition Genesis by John CRASH Matos.

opening : Saturday 7 March 2020 from 4 to 8 pm. Artists reception.
exhibition : 7 March - 4 April 2020
 

A living legend of the Old School graffiti of the 80s, Crash is one of the major protagonists of the New York post-graffiti scene. With Genesis, Crash offers a demonstration of the strength of his mastery of letters and sincerely brings us back to the very essence of graffiti: the alphabet. Playing with letters, like a novelist playing with words, Crash explores the source code of his work. In each canvas, he tells us the birth of the graffiti movement: "At the heart of all creation, there is the letter. No matter the number of colors, the stylization, the fantasy, it is in the writing of our names that it all began. It is the genesis of what has become a world language".

Like 26 fragments of a monumental work that our imaginations finish painting, Crash invites us into the energy of an overflowing, generous, punchy or heartfelt creation, strewn with references to his peers and his career.  This return to the inaugural principle of post-graffiti is also an artist's introspective look at his work, which is reflected with authenticity and sincerity. A self-portrait that continues to write in full letter about his urgency to live, his insatiable desire to write and create.
 

"Genesis" is Crash's 12th exhibition at the Speerstra Gallery.

UNA ALIANZA CONTRA NATURA DE DESEO

Facing technocapitalist transhumanism, the eugenic dream by Silicon Valley, which presents the “improved” man in his productive, sensory and physical-mental capacities as a neoliberal dystopia only within the reach of a few, this work proposes the monster, the hybrid, the other, the queer, mestizo, lame and alliances and human-nohuman assemblies as a future, a future that does not want to be perfect, an imperfect future that follows the model of the queerized medieval bestiary, vindicating the Middle Ages as an otherness of modernity and advocating for the end of humanism that has placed white, cishetero, European, individuals in the center of the Universe, condemning to death all dissenters of sex and gender, non-human, animals and freaks.

This speculative posthumanism is proposed as a place and the proper moment for the end of natural-artificial, man-animal, rational-irrational binarisms, without renouncing to biomedical intervention technologies in the bodies, self-tuning and hacking of our body-mind to defamiliarize us from gender, returning ourselves to sex and sexuality, where we should not have left from, to end with patriarchy and essentialist man-woman binarisms, placing ourselves outside of identity politics, and looking at new technologies as tools for the creation of these new assemblies.

We are object-subjects, we are viruses, we are infectious, we are alliances of a multitude of forces, of human and non-human entities, assemblies of viruses, cells and bacteria, we are the result of symbiosis, parasitic strategies and energetic mutualisms.

SAVE THE DATE: SupaKitch and Koralie

On behalf of Kolly Gallery I would like to draw your attention to the coming Pop Up Exhibition: SupaKitch and Koralie. Kolly Gallery invited the #artisticsupercouple to exhibit their independent artistic oeuvre from 26 to 28 March 2020 in Zurich. You are invited to join the opening on 26th March 2020, 18:00, as well as meeting both artists at Kolly Gallery.

Guillaume 'SupaKitch' Grando is a French artist. He started graffiti at the age of 12 and took a degree in Graphic Design in 1997.

Liquid matter, light and movement are at the centre of his artistic practice. Through his art works the spectator is allowed to enter a contemplative experience where the gesture and movement, the relief and reflections on the resin offer a vision on a distorting mirror or a window on a water surface. His work is inspired by real matter to transform it into abstraction while stimulating nostalgic feelings and summer memories.

His works are exhibited in Europe, the United States and Asia.

The Pinacoteca de São Paulo museum, managed by the State of São Paulo Culture and Creative Economy Department displays, from March, 28 to August 3, 2020, OSGEMEOS: Segredos [Secrets], the first panoramic exhibition of the artistic duo made up by brothers Otávio and Augusto Pandolfo (São Paulo, 1974). With more than 60 works chosen from their rich store of imagery, which about 50 have never been shown in Brazil, the show helps to expand the understanding of the relationship between art and city life – a reflection that marks the year 2020 at Pinacoteca.

The duo have carved out a path in the art world without ever losing sight of their wish to remain accessible to the general public. That path has included participating in shows at major international institutions, such as Hamburger Bahnhof, in Berlin, 2019, with a project devised in partnership with the Berlin breakdance group Flying Steps, a great international award-winner; the Vancouver Biennale, Canada (2014); MOCA – Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2011); MOT – Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Japan, and Tate Modern, London, UK (both in 2008); and the Milano Trienale (2006), among others. In the course of their career, the brothers have also been invited to create works for important public spaces in more than 60 countries, including Sweden, Germany, Portugal, Australia, Cuba and the United States – featuring the electronic displays at Times Square, New York (2015) – among others.

Otávio and Gustavo chose the urban space as their place of experience and research from the very beginning of their career, in the mid-1980s. After taking a deep plunge in the hip-hop culture, which had arrived in Brazil just as they started to produce, and undergoing the influence of dance, music, muralism and popular culture, the brothers set out to develop a unique style, with a joyful mood, which has become an emblem of urban spaces both in Brazil and around the world.

Their works tell stories (sometimes autobiographical) whose plots involve fantasy, emotional relationships, questionings, dreams and life experiences. OSGEMEOS still have their studio in Cambuci, an old immigrant working-class neighborhood in downtown São Paulo, in which they spent their childhood and youth. From the 1990s onwards, their experimentations – not only graffiti-wise, but also involving easel painting and both static and moving sculptures – outgrew the two-dimensional limit and culminated in the creation of a unique universe operating on the interface between dream and reality.

At the Pinacoteca exhibition, the duo presents paintings, immersive installations, sound installations, sculptures, site-specific interventions, drawings and notebooks. The notebooks, dating from their teenage years and now presented to the public for the first time, precede their famous yellow characters and throw light on the roots of their emergence. The body of works takes the museum by assault and occupies all seven temporary exhibition rooms at the first floor, as well as one of the courtyards, several inner and outer spaces and, last but not least, the Octagon, which holds a specially-designed installation.

As a traditional institution devised to foster art production in Brazil, Pinacoteca reaffirms its engagement by presenting a comprehensive review of OSGEMEOS’ output, opening a year dedicated to the relationship between art and the city. “If in modern times the phenomenon of art has had the city as its place of existence, to think about art is to think about its incorporation in urban life. The urban reality, the city itself, the relationships that take hold in that particular space, are not only subjects of art, but also the very manner of its manifestation. To live in the city is to partake of a unique sociability marked by commuting, anonymity, collective production and conflict- and inequality-generating factors, but also charged with a potential for freedom and change, which are very dear to modern and contemporary art practices”, concludes Jochen Volz, general director at Pinacoteca and the show’s curator.

During the months in which the exhibition is on display, the museum will be filled with the unmistakable style and spelling of the artist duo. Pina’s store will receive a set of new products designed by them, such as mugs, t-shirts and caps. Temporarily, the traditional sign on the facade bearing the institution’s name, created by the award-winning graphic designer Carlos Perrone in the 1990s, will be replaced by a luminous one designed especially by OSGEMEOS. Likewise, the electronic signatures of the museum employees’ e-mails, which today bear the institution’s logo, will be temporarily changed to the new identity.
