Galerie Itinerrance Presents: Jana & Js “Jeux de Constructions” (Paris, France)
Itinerrance Gallery
Jana & Js
Solo show “Jeux de constructions”
February, 25 – March, 26
Opening on Friday, February, 25 from 6 pm
Deserted factories, parking lots being demolished, low rise apartment blocks : these elements – among many others – surround and inspire Jana & Js. Their work is nourished by the city they live in, together with its inhabitants and its ever changing architectural landscape. The paintings created by this couple of artists make use of extremely detailed and scrupulously prepared stencils..
Jana & Js raise the question of the individual in large groups of buildings and more widely in the cities, combining portraits and architectural views.
Their street paintings (in France, Austria, Russia, Slovakia, Romania and Spain) also led them to develop an interaction with the environment in which they operate and the public – passerby or spectator – using sets of mirrors as a game in order to create infinities of ways of seeing the city.
Jana & Js are young artists whose work began to take shape only in the mid-2000, and who are today among the most talented of their generation. After having lived and worked together in Paris, they are today between Austria and France.
Jeux de Constructions is the second exhibition in Itinerrance Gallery devoted to them. Combining their love for woodworking, rebuilding their own materials and images composition from their cuts, this exhibition will present for the first time a wide range of their work volume initiated a few months ago.

JR’s Movie, “Women Are Heroes” comes out 01.12
Photo credit: © jr-art.net
Parisian Street Artist JR takes photos of people, creates giant billboard sized posters of them, and plasters them across roofs, trains, steps, river canals, barns, entire neighborhoods, you name it. All over the world.
“So what?,” Herschel at the corner grocery would say, “Coca Cola has been doing that for years and you don’t make a film about it.”
Trailer – Women Are Heroes – English Version
Uploaded by JR
In this case the man behind the camera is engaged with the stories of his subject, people he discovered as he traveled to places like Kenya, Phnonm Penh, and Rio de Janiero. As he talked with locals he was drawn to the simple and profound pain of women who have suffered the indignities of war, poverty, and loss. By engaging with the grandmothers, mothers, daughters, and children who comprise more than one half the worlds population but suffer wars’ cost at a much higher rate, JR conveys their humanity, their warmth, and sometimes their hope.

The TED Prize Winner for 2011, JR showed his movie “Women Are Heroes” at the Cannes Film Festival last year. In about 10 days, beginning in France, it will have wide release for the rest of us to see.
Wish # 11 : LUDO
December 31, 2010
Artists, End Of Year Wishes, Paris
For 11 days we’ve presented 11 artists and BSA readers and their wishes for the new year, 2011, in no particular order. Together, they are a tiny snapshot of the people who are creators and fans of street art. Individually, each has added their expression of the creative spirit to the year now ending.
And our final wish for 2011 comes from Parisian Street Artist LUDO, who has gained a great following with his merging of the natural and the man-made world in his creations, like the circuit board butterfly he is in the middle of drawing below. Here is LUDO’s wish for the new year;
“I wish for more and more uncontrolled, simple and fresh moments.”

Specter Finds His Sisters In Paris and Chicago

“Class, today we are going to make puppets. Jimmy sit down please. Did everyone remember to bring a sock to school today as I had requested last Thursday? Yolanda do you have yours? Jenelle? Good. Let’s see everybody hold their sock in the air. Okay good. Jimmy… Okay these are going to be our “pretend friends”. And does everyone have two buttons for the eyes? Okay, I’ll wait until some people in the back stop talking – I’m sure we all would like to get on with the project. Tony and Lindsay, do I need to split you two up?”

Art classes at school are just about the funnest thing there is – mostly because they combine work and play and imagination. Brooklyn Street Artist Specter has been making his own imaginary friends on the streets of Paris and Chicago this fall. To be more precise, he’s been making sisters – the ones he says he wished he could have when he was a kid.
The new series is called “Les Filles”, and it is “about my mate’s five sisters and my desire to have sisters my entire life. Now I feel like I have what I’ve always wanted,” explains Specter excitedly, as he contemplates eating some paste while Miss Pennywhistle writes something on the chalkboard.

Addict Galerie Presents: L’Art Urbain 2″ A Group Show (Paris, France)

Avec AIKO, ALEX, Boris Hoppek, John “CRASH” Matos,
DOZE GREEN, Daniel Tagno, Mambo, Mist, Smash137, TOXIC.
Exposition du 4 décembre au 18 janvier 2011 / Exhibition from december 4th to january 18th 2011
Vernissage le samedi 4 décembre de 18 à 21 h / Opening on saturday the 4th, december 6 – 9 pm
Le succès rencontré par la première exposition consacrée à l’art urbain …du mur a l’atelier, avec des artistes tels Gérard Zlotykamien, Lady Pink, John Fekner et Don Leicht, Jean Faucheur… a encouragé Addict Galerie à poursuivre son panorama dédié à un mouvement de l’art contemporain. Si notre première proposition mettait en valeur le passage en atelier d’artistes qui proposaient une variété de techniques usant des matériaux les plus divers, il s’agit cette fois de laisser découvrir des peintres encore fortement ancrés dans le paysage urbain et pratiquant aussi le travail sur toile. Cette approche cherche à souligner la réussite éclatante de cet art.
Dans ce deuxième volet, l’influence du graffiti est plus forte comme le montrent les talents toujours aussi variés, qui partageront les murs de cette exposition.

Ludo: Street Art In The Paris Metro
Street Artist Ludo plays with Parisian’s perceptions of commerce, art, and technology.

“The whole inspiration for this series is co-branding – but also nanotechnology: Nature transformed into pills of amphetamine,” says the artist.

Simple elegant silhouettes of acid green and grey glow garishly with fluorescence in a colorless sterile hallway. The repetition of uniform shape, line and hue are interrupted by biomorphic Franken-plants that invite the closer inspection of rushed metro riders.

Like his bus shelter signs above ground, these new pieces appropriate the cool omnipotent detachment of megabrands, making them just that much easier to ignore. The quantity unmeasured is what slips into the subconcious as people trample by. Ludo is refining his own brand of pleasing queasiness.

C215: Show Pics of “Community Service”
Stencil Street Artist Hits Both Floors of Parisian Gallery
Last minute touches at “Community Service”. (photo © Roswitha Guillemin courtesy the gallery)
Last Friday C215 played host at Galerie Itinerrance as he debuted many new pieces across various surfaces using the stencil technique he is known for. His addition of color variations over the last year or so has opened a door into more possibilities for dimension and emotion in his portraits. Fans of the monochromatic style he established his name with were pleased to see the black/grey/white stencils also continue to capture his interest.

Harrington of Brooklyn Street Art (who also wrote the introduction), and a preface by Marc and Sara Schiller with Thierry Froger. More on the book and show HERE.
