Ink and Movement (IAM) is delighted to bring the exhibition IAM Friends to Bologna’s MAGMA gallery in Italy. The exhibition runs from June 1 to July 13 and features work by our artists Franco Fasoli, Okuda San Miguel, Sawe and Spok Brillor.

It’s the first time this Ink and Movement (IAM) curatorial project has crossed borders, following its success in Spain. The European premiere in Bologna takes the form of a group exhibition entitled IAM Friends, showcasingthe work of Franco Fasoli, Okuda San Miguel, Sawe and Spok Brillor, four leading figures from the world of international contemporary art.

The MAGMA gallery is excited to be showing a carefully chosen selection of the most recent works by these major artists, direct from their studios, work that has already featured in public collections and gallery exhibitions.

With the surrealist, chromatic explosions of Okuda San Miguel, the dynamism and tension of Argentine artist Franco Fasoli’s compositions, the technique and irreverence of Sawe, and the hyper-realism of Spok Brillor, IAM Friends offers a distinctive and fascinating window onto the contemporary scene.

About the show

More than yet another historical exhibition, Vibrations sheds a new light on the heritage of the opticokinetic art movement and the multiple forms it may take today. The artworks on display here disrupt the visual sense. The eye of the viewer is continually solicited, confused sometimes by so much stimulation. Lastly, Vibrations is a glimpse into the future, in keeping with the choices that, since its creation, Danysz Gallery is standing for. By bridging now classic artworks and more contemporary ones, this exhibition calls for a new dialogue between generations.

"80 years separate Vasarely from the young Felipe Pantone and yet if they had met, their discussions about Art and its possible forms would certainly have been endless. The 1950s and its optico-kinetic movement brought a renewal of the perception but also of the conception of Art. It is interesting to see that today new generations of artists go even further on these reflections initiated by such as Vasarely, Cruz-Diez, Soto or Le Parc back then. Vibrations has been a long-standing idea at the gallery, and coming to light now it brings this intergenerational dialogue on current topics as the place of art in the city, art for all, or as Vasarely called it: a new moral of aesthetics and a dialectic between means and expressions”

Pour sa première exposition personnelle à la galerie Joël Knafo après sa résidence à la Villa Médicis, LEK propose avec «Décadence Urbaine» une série «d’œuvres synthèses» qui cheminent entre déconstruction, structuration et recomposition.
L’artiste pousse sa recherche d’équilibre entre matières et formes comme une action discrète qui révèle et ne fait rien disparaître.

‘UNFOLD’ Collection of works by Lucy McLauchlan.

International artist Lucy McLauchlan will be showing a collection of her works entitled 'UNFOLD' at Centrala, Birmingham. Opening 6pm 7th June 2019.

Centrala Unit 4 Minerva Works 158 Fazeley Street, Digbeth Birmingham B5 5RT

Sharing a common theme, each piece evolved from painting on site in different locations from Moscow to Bordesley, and provides a momentary look inside the artist’s current practice.
The collection of works have grown from Lucy’s background in mural painting, coupled with her desire to capture more permanent documentation of murals which are by nature ephemeral. The pieces relate to each other directly through the very physical act of painting outside on site, dealing with varied surfaces and unknown external factors. These varied surfaces are echoed in the mixed media used on paper, canvas and wood. The show will also include films by Matthew Watkins which will run all week, and reveal Lucy at work.

The exhibition will be open at Centrala (upstairs) from 7th - 15th June (except Monday). On Saturdays 8th and 15th at 2pm Lucy will walk through the show recounting her experiences and stories behind each piece. Tickets are not required for these events, and entry to the exhibition is free.

| WELLING COURT MURAL PROJECT |

Public Opening: Saturday June 8, 2019, 12pm-7pm

Astoria, New York, 11102

AD HOC ART CONTINUES THE ACCLAIMED WELLING COURT MURAL PROJECT WITH 100+ ARTISTS SPANNING THE HISTORY OF GRAFFITI & PUBLIC ART — A Creative Event Celebrating the Streets, Solidarity, Community, and Culture.

It is that time of year that we bring you another outstanding rendition of this legendary annual Queens mural jam. Now celebrating its 10th year, the art and talent just keeps getting better! Join us Saturday from 12-7pm for a block party and a ton of great art, all FREE.

The History: The Welling Court Mural Project began after Jonathan and Josh Ellis, representing the Welling Court community, met at Ad Hoc Art’s Bushwick gallery in 2009. They loved the experience and invited Ad Hoc Art to bring their expertise, appreciation, and vision to beautify their Queens neighborhood. It was a perfect fit, as there were surfaces to be painted and Ad Hoc knew people loved painting surfaces. Jonathan had already planted the seeds and acquired permission to paint, which was key. Thus, having the community support and a timely visit by Poland’s wall-crushing M-City, the first mural was painted in the freezing temperatures of December 2009. Ad Hoc Art used the rest of the winter to plan the launch of the first multi-block project of over 40 murals that occurred in May 2010. After continuing to hit the pavement and meet more members of the community, the project grew one mural at a time.

Melding a spectacular crew of legendary artists together with a diverse mix of fresh talent, the annual project hosts 100+ murals by artists from around the corner and around the world, providing new arrays of visual experiences that change how people interact with their environment. Through grassroots outreach, word of mouth, and authentic appreciation, the project has had a dynamic and impactful evolution.

It is one of the best collections of contemporary street culture on earth, all within this hidden gem of NYC! It is on pubic streets, so it is FREE and open to the public 24/7/365.

Together, with the help of myriad others from the community and beyond, this project receives a wide range of interest and acclaim, from the likes of The New York Times, US News and World Report, Huffington Post, NBC Universal, NY1, HyperAllergic, Brooklyn Street Art, 12oz Prophet, Sold Magazine, StreetArtNYC, Street Art NY, and and many others.

Enrico Coveri presents Seasons by Chris Ellis in art "Daze"

On the occasion of Pitti Immagine 2019, Enrico Coveri presents Seasons, the mural of the interior courtyard of Palazzo Coveri realized by Daze, one of the gurus of American graffiti writing. “This is the result of a novel, extraordinary partnership, undertaken in the spirit of the brand, which has always looked to art for inspiration for its work,” said Silvana Coveri.

The project is both fascinating and even revolutionary, in that for the first time street art breaks into a Medici palazzo, a true emblem of the Renaissance, which today is the Coveri residence on Lungarno Guicciardini in Florence. In addition, Seasons is the first large fresco in a covered area realized by the artist, whose works now form an integral part of the collections of the MoMA in New York, the Smithsonian in Washington, the Groninger Museum in Holland and the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum in Aachen.

For Maison Enrico Coveri, Daze has conceived a monumental work, full of life, movement and color, which will inspire the printed fabrics of the brand’s men’s and women’s 2020 spring/summer collections.

At the same time, the Galleria del Palazzo will pay homage to the artist with an important solo exhibition. The project will be accompanied by a catalogue with essays by Vittorio Sgarbi, Beba Marsano and Daze, published by Bandecchi & Vivaldi.

Daze: Brief biographical note

Daze (born Chris Ellis, New York, 1962) began his career as a graffiti writer in New York in the 1970’s, making his unmistakable mark throughout the entire metropolitan area, on city walls, trains and subway cars. In the following decade he successfully switched over to painting on canvas. He made his debut in the collective exhibition Beyond Words at the Mudd Club in New York (1981), where he exhibited together with Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Today he is considered one of the most interesting and prolific artists of our times.
