Viva la Revolucion: A Dialogue with the Urban Landscape

Jul 18, 2010–Jan 02, 2011 at MCASD Downtown, Jacobs Building

For the first time in history, the majority of the world’s population lives in urban communities. The urban setting and its corresponding lifestyle are major sources of inspiration in contemporary culture. This is an historic revolution in visual culture, in which the codes and icons of the everyday—found on the streets in graffiti, signage, waste, tattoos, advertising, and graphic design—have been appropriated and used as an integral part of contemporary art-making. The urban landscape inspires and serves as both a platform for innovation and a vehicle for expression for many artists. The city itself, its buildings, vehicles, people, and advertisements, are not only the surface where the art is applied. The city fuels the practice.

Brooklyn - Matty No Times Benefit Art Show (07.17.10 - 07.23.10)

Alhambra - "Systema Naturae: Aeris" (07.16.10 - 08.09.10)

Systema Naturae: Aeris
July 16, 2010 - August 9, 2010
Opening Reception / Jul 16, 7:00PM - 11:00PM

Natural world themes of Systema Naturae are explored further in the third installment titled Aeris.

As our atmosphere, air conducts the passage of light, acting as a medium that allows people to interpret the physical world in color. An indirect response to this exchange is the human perception of reality, and the creation of art to express these perceptions. Systema Naturae: Aeris takes inspiration from these naturally occuring systems, and the ideas drawn from air itself: flight, freedom, and infinite possibilities.
