Gallery Kayafas Presents: Geoff Hargadon “Dealers Protected” (Boston, MA))

December 6, 2011 Artists, Boston, Events, Gallery, Opening

CFYW

Gallery Kayafas has just opened the CA$H FOR YOUR WARHOL exhibit called “Dealers Protected!” It looks great, if I may say so. (I didn’t install it, which is probably why.) It features a wall of new signs that were just shown Moniker Art Fair in London and at Pulse Art Fair in Miami, two new plaques, a fresh-squeezed edition of signs made just for this show, and about 40 photographs from installations during the past 2 1/2 years. One of the featured photographs is the first installation we did, which was at the Rose Museum, Brandeis University (upper left image on the attachment). We will also have some photographs from installations that were done in Miami just this past week.

we will have all sorts of CFYW stickers – and EVERYBODY likes stickers, right?!

Miami Sunday Update : Street Art In Process

December 4, 2011 Art Fair, Artists, Florida, Miami, On the Street, Primary Flight

Still burping from those last hors d’oeuvres that you dumped in your backpack at the chic opening we went to at the regular Art Basel last night? God, what was that? Anchovy paste or snot on a cracker? Pass me that pizza box please, I think I left a crust in there. Come on, let’s get outside to the street and find some coffee and we’ve got to see who’s putting new stuff up this afternoon.

Photographers Mike Pearce and Kendra Heisler are on the ground in Miami documenting the happenings and sending updates.

London Dispatch: Street Art at Moniker Art Fair

October 15, 2011 Art Fair, Artists, Gallery, London, U.K.

This weekend in London is the Moniker Art Fair, which features the work of a number of Street Artists, as well as the artists themselves installing, performing, drinking. Part commerce and spectacle, the atmosphere at an art fair always has an expectant air of interactive theater; directors, actors, and prop masters all milling around fervently and working to create a dramatic scene. Ready or not, the doors fly open and in rushes the calico crowd of collectors, fans, and looky-loos to belly up to the stage, discover who has a new idea, and who is recycling old ones. This years Moniker includes work by Aiko, Banksy, Ben Eine, Best Ever, Cash For Your Warhol, D*Face, Dabs & Myla, Greg Miller, Herakut, Jaae, Matt Small, Nate Frizzell, Peeta, Marco ‘Pho’ Grassi, Pure Evil, ROA, Rero, Russell Young, The London Police, and Word to Mother.

Just flown into Shoreditch for an engagement all week, (don’t forget to ask your waitress for the House Specials), here’s your photographer/artist/collector Geoff Hargadon in the thick of it all with a photo essay of some highlights of the the action.

Word to Mother solo show “Essence of Adolescence” Friday Stolen Space Gallery

‘Essence of Adolescence’ is an enlightening glimpse into the artist’s visually obsessed mind. Word To Mother invites the viewer to take a glimpse of his inner mindscape. An outward manifestation that combines references drawn from his childhood and the visual stimulation that he absorbed; cartoons juxtaposed with more serious emotive thoughts and fears that face him as an adult living and painting in East London.

“Cash For Your Warhol” is Now A Print

February 5, 2011 Artists

Plowing grandly through the intersection of Street Art and consumerism mockery, satirist Street Artist Hargo took his ongoing joke “Cash for your Warhol” to billboards of Miami during the art gleefest that is Art Basel in December. Usually relegated to plastic prefab signs artfully nailed to telephone poles of empty lots and main thoroughfares, Hargo took out giant Out Of Home billboards to “advertise” the services of a fictional art buyer who is happy to help you unload those onerous Warhols just laying around the house for cold hard cash munney, honey. To celebrate this installation in Miami’s un-toniest district, Wynwood, the BLDG is releasing this print of a billboard by the street’s most famous Warhol appraiser, Hargo. The new piece entitled “CFYW, 14th Street, Miami”, is based on one of several installations viewed by the art loving masses who engorged themselves with edgy street art culture during the visual feast that takes place every year in southern Florida. Hargo and The BLDG concur that the legacy of this epic install should live far beyond the reaches of Basel and, thusly, history has been made.

“In addition to putting up a bunch of street signs, Cash For Your Warhol took out billboards in Miami in December during the art fairs. The BLDG took one of my photographs of the one on 14th Street (shot before Poster Boy co-opted it – insert smiley face here) and turned it into an image suitable for framing. They have previously done a bunch of prints with Street Artists including The London Police and Cleon Peterson. It’s my second print with The BLDG, and I think this one definitely lives up to their high standards. BTW, the CFYW hotline has been flooded with calls since the Miami installation and the calls are still coming in. Apparently billboards work pretty well getting the message out” ~ Hargo

Images Of The Week 01.02.11 : From Miami With Love, Part I

January 2, 2011 Artists, BSA Images Of The Week, Florida, Miami, On the Street, Primary Flight, Week in Images

Now that the thumping headache from too many orange sodas on New Year’s Eve is gone, it’s time to regale little Baby 2011 with some eyeball pleasing baubles from sunny Miami. In early December many Street Artists converged upon this city to add to the sparkling traffic of Art Basel and to crush some major wallage.

Of course, not everybody finished their piece in time because there were parties to attend, booties to shake, and pretty things to watch workin’ it on the street. Dust settled and work completed, last week we climbed walls, squeezed through fences, and raced up railroad tracks to catch all the finished pieces for you. In the process we met some barking bulldogs and charming new friends, because Miami is mad friendly yo, and we even got some inside tips on hidden treasure.

Miami 2010: Tales of the Streets

December 6, 2010 Art Fair, Artists, Events, Florida, Miami, On the Street, Primary Flight

Welcome to Miami! Now go home.

– It’s a paraphrase of the Christmas crabby New Yorker who relies on the tourists who pump money into Broadway and Times Square restaurants and FAO and who actually eat those hot dogs and pretzels on the street. In the case of Miami, Art Basel 2010 draws to a close now and one billion dollars are estimated to have been transacted. When you pair that figure with the estimated 2-3000 artists participating, it looks like the artists must have made out rather well, right?

Certainly there were more Street Artists than ever attending the events and transforming walls everywhere with their work and creativity – at least in the unofficially sanctioned areas. At the moment Miami is “The only city in the US where graffiti appreciates property value,” ironically says Mint and Serf, a Street Art collective visiting the tropical city from frigid New York. In an odd twist on the “broken window theory” and urban blight, artists who are normally looking over their shoulder can actually wave to and talk with police who are driving by in some run-down areas where they are given free reign over large swaths of walls. At this sunny moment in time various agendas are intertwined and one wonders how long this golden age lasts.

Street Art photographer and observer Geoff Hargadon took in the breadth of the week on the street and attended a number of the events over the past weeks’ art orgies. He captured many jewels and quick moments with his camera and his 6^th sense, which are below. As various larger pieces are unfinished right now, we’ll be going back in a few weeks for a year-end overview.

In addition to an intuitive eye about the art trends happening that impact the scene, Geoff gives a commentary about what else he’s thinking about: “Here is the other thing that’s a trend: property owners have their hands over all these walls for artists to takeover, and then suddenly they are leased out to restaurants, coffee shops, and other businesses. It’s hard to know who’s playing whom here – maybe it’s a happy co-existence – but when does the property owner step up to support these guys in other ways? (Unless, of course, it’s already happening.) Either way, artists are playing a big role in the development of these neighborhoods, and whether they know it or not, as the area gets more developed and gentrified, they will eventually run themselves out of town. Whether they are getting paid or not, they are creating their own extinction in Miami.”
