Culver City, CA 90232

November 13 – December 11, 2010

Opening Reception: Saturday, November 13, 2010, 6-8pm

please RSVP by email rsvp at carmichaelgallery dot com

Carmichael Gallery is pleased to present Block Party, a group exhibition featuring Boxi, Krystian Truth Czaplicki, Gregor Gaida, Simon Haas and Dan Witz. Block Party aligns the disparate creative practices of five internationally-based contemporary artists. In doing so, the shared intrinsic presence of themes of isolation, beauty and reflection upon self and surroundings in their works are augmented, inviting new dialectical dialogues and considerations.

Artworks included in the exhibition range from works on canvas, wood, MDF and paper to mixed media sculpture, a large site-specific mural installation and a video presentation.

A showcase of new works on paper by Sixeart will be displayed concurrently in the gallery’s largest project room.

There will be an opening reception for the exhibition on Saturday, November 13 from 6 to 8pm with Boxi and Simon Haas in attendance. The exhibition will run through December 11, 2010.

Boxi (b. 1974 Kent, England) A dark, disillusioned romanticism pervades Boxi’s work; material boundaries are dissolved and perceptions are altered by means of hand cut, multi-layered, often life-sized stencils that offer a comforting solidity within the smoky abstraction of his grey-scale landscapes. In addition to new works on canvas and MDF, he will create an elaborate site-specific installation on the gallery’s main wall.

Recent solo and group shows include Between a Dream and an Excuse, Kunstverein Buchholz, Nordheide (2010), Remap, Ad Gallery, Athens (2009), Urban Art – Collection Reinking, Weserburg Museum for Modern Art, Bremen (2009) and Grey Area, Carmichael Gallery, Los Angeles (2009). He lives and works in Berlin.

Krystian Truth Czaplicki (b. 1984 Wroclaw, Poland) Krystian Truth Czaplicki combines found materials with existing objects large and small to create simple but effective abstract artworks that reveal an astute understanding of architectural and natural structures. He will present a series of new mixed media works on canvas and a slide compilation of the urban installations that have informed his gallery practice.

Recent solo and group shows include Young Creative Poland, London (2009), Experimenta Design, Urban Play, Amsterdam (2008), The 5th Young Triennial, Centre of Poish Sculpture, Oronsko (2008), Truth, BWA Gallery, Sanok (2007), Urban Irony, BWA Gallery, Wroclaw (2007), Transformation, CCA Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw (2006) and Simplicity, Entropia Gallery, Wroclaw (2006). He lives and works in Wroclaw.

Gregor Gaida (b. 1976 Chorzów, Poland) Gregor Gaida merges timelessly classic ideals with an unquestionably contemporary sensitivity. Characterized by a muted palette and meticulous employment of texture, both his figurative and more abstract expressions feel all but alive. He will present sculptural works from several new series, including Fragments, Kingdom, Drummer and Pissing.

Recent solo and group shows include Summe der Geschichten, Galerie Adler, Frankfurt (2010), Gregor Gaida – Kunst im Foyer, Nolde Stiftung Seebüll Dependance, Berlin (2010), HangART-7, Edition 14 Mal was Deutsches, Hangar-7, Salzburg (2009) and Gaida-Schiela-Kim, Galerie Epikur, Wuppertal (2009). He lives and works in Bremen.

Simon Haas (b. 1984 Los Angeles, USA) Simon Haas’ elegantly executed, subtly hued portraits of himself and others transit to viewers an intensely emotive perspective of various psychological states of being. He will present new oils on canvas and works on paper.

Recent solo and group shows include Instant LA Summer, Carmichael Gallery, Los Angeles (2010), Volume, AT1 Projects, Los Angeles (2010), Manifest Equality (2010) and Solo Show, Untitled Gallery, Los Angeles (2007). He lives and works in Los Angeles.

Dan Witz (b. 1957 Chicago, USA) Dan Witz employs light and darkness to supreme effect in his oil and mixed media works. A glowing warmth pervades each canvas, fashioning a haunting atmosphere that feels at once lonely and comforting. He will present several works from his Nightscapes and Bar Shrines series.

Recent solo shows include New Night Paintings, DFN Gallery, New York (2010), Dark Doings, Carmichael Gallery, Los Angeles (2009), New Street Works, Sid Lee Collective, Amsterdam (2009) and Night Paintings, Stolenspace, London (2008). He lives and works in Brooklyn.

Sixeart (b. 1975 Barcelona, Spain) Sixeart combines psychedelic abstraction and mysterious coded formulas with vividly rendered figuration to produce a highly personal visual language. The childlike innocence and almost hallucinogenic sense of second sight of his work has a dreamlike quality that shows an affinity with Surrealist artists such as Joan Miró, another native of Barcelona. He will present four new works on paper.

Recent solo and group shows include Mundo Animal – Transmutation Intercontinental, A.L.I.C.E. Gallery, Brussels (2010), Booked, Carmichael Gallery, Los Angeles (2010), De Chillida a Sixeart, Galeria Mayoral. Barcelona (2009), Guerreros, N2 Galeria, Barcelona (2009) and Street Art, Tate Modern, London (2008). He lives and works in Barcelona.

Street Art And The Day Of The Dead

November 2, 2010 Artists, Day Of The Dead, Mexico, On the Street

“Dia de los Muertos”

Skulls are everywhere on the street today, and here is a collection to mark The Day of the Dead. The commemoration of people who have passed is observed nation-wide in Mexico every year at this time. Although it is not a national holiday, the strictly religious and cultural observance is revered and, depending on the region, it varies in the ways in which the holiday is marked.

The cultural aspect of this holiday has inspired many artists, filmmakers and poets. Here we have selected images of Street Art culled from our library to mark the Dia de Los Muertos, focusing on the most prominent symbol used to represent this holiday: “Las Calaveras” or skulls.

Mexico’s “Dia de los Muertos” or “Day of the Dead” takes place every year on November 2 to coincide with the catholic holiday of “El Dia de los Santos” or “All Saints Day”. The Day of the Dead is not the Mexican equivalent of Halloween. The Day of the Dead in Mexico is a celebration of Death and it does not carry any of the connotations of fear, fantasy and gore that Halloween does.

This religious and cultural holiday can be traced as long ago as 3000 years. Before the conquest of what’s now modern Mexico in the pre-Hispanic era the indigenous cultures celebrated death, rebirth and their ancestors by displaying human skulls as memento mori.

When the Spanish missionaries arrived more than 500 years ago they tried without success to eradicate such pagan and sacrilegious celebrations that seem to mock death while converting the indigenous people to Christianity. To the Spaniards death was the end of life but to the Aztecs it was a continuation of a journey not yet completed. The Aztecs embraced death and they celebrated it for the entire month of August, the ninth month of the Aztec Calendar, and the festivities were presided by the goddess Mictecacihuatl or “Lady of the Dead” presumed to have died at birth.

The Spaniards were met with fierce resistance in their attempts to vanish the rituals so in frustration they sought and found a common ground with the natives by moving the pagan rituals to coincide with the Catholic holiday of “El Dia de los Santos” or “All Saints Day” on November 2.

Modern Mexicans remember their friends and family members that have departed from life by honoring them with extravagant festivities that, depending in the region might include lavish offerings or “ofrendas” in private altars in the cemeteries at the tombs of their loved ones and/or at home. It is a day of celebration and many people elect to stay overnight at the cemetery for prayer, and remembrance but partying, eating and drinking is encouraged and expected always following the norms of respect and decorum for the defunct.

These “ofrendas” or gifts include the most favored dishes, foods and beverages that their loved ones enjoyed while alive. They also include photos and other personal mementos of the deceased ones. The “ofrendas” are meant to be eaten and shared by the relatives and friends of the departed and sometimes they are very elaborate five course dinners. Other times the relatives might choose to have a daytime picnic at the cemetery and return to their homes at dusk. The “ofrendas” are believed to nurture and help the souls of the dead while in their journey to heaven.

Some people use this day to just take their customary once a year trip to the cemetery to clean and maintain the tomb of their loved ones.

Regardless of the singular cultural distinction of each region two symbols are common throughout the country: “La Calavera” or The Sugar Skull and “La Catrina” or The Skeleton Lady. The Skulls can be made of sugar and chocolate and often are inscribed with the recipient’s names and are gifts to both the living and the dead. There is also “El Pan de Muertos” or “Bread of the Dead” which Mexicans give as gifts to the visiting relatives for their journey back home.

It is said that Mexicans not only celebrate death they also eat it.

Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida in collaboration with Giorgio Armani present: “Richard Hambleton New York – The Godfather of street art” (London, UK)

November 1, 2010 Artists, Events, Gallery, London, Opening, U.K.

Richard Hambleton

Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida in collaboration with Giorgio Armani present “Richard Hambleton New York – The Godfather of street art”, an exhibition of works by Richard Hambleton

London, November 2010 – Elusive New York artist Richard Hambleton will be the subject of an exhibition at The Dairy in London, following highly successful exhibitions in New York, Milan, and Cannes. The exhibition, opening on 18^th November, will be curated by Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida in collaboration with Giorgio Armani.

Richard Hambleton rose to fame in the early 1980’s when like his contemporaries, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, he used the streets of New York, San Francisco, Berlin, Paris, London and Japan as his canvas for visually arresting public art, most notably his “Shadowman” and “Crime Scene” series. Hambleton has now been labelled ‘The Godfather of Street Art’, influencing artists such as Paris based street artist Blek le Rat and English street artist Banksy.

The last influential surviving member of the East Village Art Movement, Hambleton saw what fame and drug use did to his close friends, and for the last 20 years has led a relatively reclusive life on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Despite a low public profile, Hambleton has continued to create and his works can be found in the permanent collections of The MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, The Houston Museum of Fine Art, The Check Point Charlie Museum and The Zellermeyer in Berlin; the Andy Warhol Museum, the Austin Museum of Art, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Queens Museum, and Harvard University. He was chosen for the Venice Biennale in 1984.

Giorgio Armani says: “I have long been a fan of Richard Hambleton. Richard’s work is of the streets, and for me stands as a reminder that art in all its forms is first and foremost driven by individual passion and creativity”

Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida say: “Richard Hambleton’s brush stroke as an artist is genius and is in a league of its own. Most significantly, he is the most important and influential living street artist in the world today, with a story and career that is unparalleled. It is also a privilege for us to collaborate again with Giorgio Armani and we’re pleased to present it in such a prestigious space.”

The Richard Hambleton Exhibition will be open to the public from November 19^th to December 3^rd. During that time the pop-up gallery at the Dairy, at 7 Wakefield St in London will be open Monday to Friday from 10am to 7pm. Of the 45 pieces, 30 works (including 25 never before seen works) will be for sale.

Moreover, eight custom made light-boxes with photography of Richard Hambleton’s original street art from the early 80’s will be presented.

Wide Open Walls: Logan Hicks Post Game Gambia

November 1, 2010 Africa, Artists, On the Street, The Gambia

Logan is now back in chilly Brooklyn and looking over some of his images of beautiful weather, beautiful people, and painting in The Gambia. Now that the seven artists have returned back, the stories have returned with them. One thing for sure is that they all treasured the kids, and that the locals appreciated the art. In addition to being a stencil artist, Logan is also a talented photographer and he shares some images here with you.

HUSH’ Solo Show NYC “Found”

info@argotandochre.com

Hush’s work has been described as a sensory assault of shape, color, and character. Inspired by the portrayal of the female form in art, the artist builds up and tears down layers of paint and images as he works, “letting the canvas and marks take their own path.” The result is an enigmatic synthesis of anime, pop-infused imagery and graffiti that exposes the conflict between power and decay, innocence and sexuality, and the fusion of Eastern and Western culture. Hush continues to evolve his style with this latest batch of pieces, which merges his early anime and pop-art influenced graffiti technique with an exploration of Romanesque iconographic imagery. The new works are bigger, deeper and richer than anything he has produced to date. About the Artist: Hush is stimulated, influenced and driven by his cross cultural experiences. Having originally trained as a graphic designer and illustrator at Newcastle School of Art and Design, his work has taken him across Asia and Europe, whilst simultaneously developing his prominence as a contemporary artist. Hush now resides in the UK painting in his studio daily. EMAIL: mail@studio-hush.com

Vincent Michael Gallery Presents: Jordan Seiler Solo Show “Taking From The Tip Jar” (Philadelphia PA)

October 29, 2010 Artists, Events, Gallery, Opening, Philadelphia

Jordan Seiler

After a few years of large scale organizational projects and other collaborative efforts, I am happy to announce I will be opening up my first solo show in 5 years at the Vincent Michael Gallery on November 5th in Philadelphia. New works will include 16 multimedia drawings, a small video installation, and a few street pieces. Anyone familiar with my work knows that some sort of outdoor advertising has to be challenged with anything I do and this show is no exception. All of the drawings are framed in phonebooth advertising structures procured from the streets of NY over the past few months. While I know many of you will not be able to make it down to Philadelphia, the entire catalogue will be available online in the next few days and any inquiries can be directed to the Vincent Michael Gallery.

Thank you kindly for your support and I hope to see some of you in Philadelphia.

Street Artist TipToe : The Minotaur

October 28, 2010 Artists, Brooklyn, new york, NYC, On the Street

Rebellious Outcast: Demystifying The Greek Mythological Monster

In an effort to understand themselves, humans have invented gods and monsters for millenia.

Ovid described the Minotaur as a “part man and part bull”. The Greeks thought of it as a monster best kept in a labyrinth, a wild untamed man-beast who took only his own advice. At best, the Greeks achieved with the Minotaur a warped parabolic mirror of themselves but at worst (and in most cases), they shift the responsibility of their own actions unto creatures; divine, pop and otherwise well out of reach of their own realm.

Chicago based street artist TipToe has been inspired by the Minotaur for some of his recent creations; two versions of the mythological beast have recently pounded the pavement of Brooklyn. He explains to BSA the psychological and societal dynamics that come into play for him when creating the pieces:

“Lets start with the original myth. The Minotaur is the bull-headed offspring of the Queen of Crete, conceived in an adulterous affair with the Cretan Bull who was gifted to Minos, the King of Crete, from the god Poseidon. In an effort to hide the shame brought to his kingdom, Minos commissioned the construction of the Labyrinth and condemned the Minotaur to it.

In doing so, the Minotaur was freed from the social conditioning of Parental Guidance or Societal law; making the Minotaur Pure, in that he had nothing but his own intuition for guidance. Though I don’t necessarily think that the Minotaur is violent or evil; these traits, I think, were imposed upon the Minotaur by those condemned to the darkness of the Labyrinth there after. These shallow people, lost in the dark, would surly stumble upon the beast and be stricken with terror and violent inclination, but these traits were reflections of themselves. They imposed their own ugliness upon the Minotaur, so the Minotaur became a mirror of their own predisposition.

The Labyrinth through out the years has come to represent: social imposition; boredom; the institution; the dark recesses of the mind where one hides their repressed impulses; all of which, in a way, are definitions of hell. For me the Labyrinth is the city itself and the Minotaur, like the street artist, is its champion, to be embraced (not destroyed).

I believe it was Nietzsche who said, ‘Be careful when you cast out your demons that you don’t throw away the best part of yourself.‘ ”
