Video: ArtCrank 2010 Poster Show -- Minneapolis

ARTCRANK 2010 Poster Show Minneapolis 

ARTCRANK is an art show featuring prints and posters dedicated to bikes, bicycle culture and the biking community.  A self-proclaimed "Art Show for Bike People," basically it's where paint meets pedal.   Above is some footage covering the show a couple months ago in Minneapolis.

Paul D'Elia's 100+ Gigposter Retrospective gallery --"Something from Nothing"

Yesterday I was able to drop by the Cella Gallery in the NoHo Arts District for Paul D'Elia's 100+ Gigposter Retrospective gallery called "Something from Nothing".  It was a pretty amazing compilation of work from him over the years, and after having met Paul, whats supercool about him is his whole belief in the DIY punk music scene.

His style is interesting the way he combines the right amount of typographical usage, abstract patterns, and animals and creatures of all sorts.  I was lucky enough to be the 30th out of the first 30 people to get a free screen-printed poster while he demonstrated his bread and butter screenprinting prowess live.

Frank Chimero's Art Show Poster

A cool poster for an upcoming art show featuring Frank Chimero at the Land Gallery in Portland.  Definitely going to be worth checking out if you're in the area around August.

Network Osaka designed these beautifully minimalistic flyers for Archivo 17, an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Mexico.  The elements and design is so simple, yet so flawless and so attractive.  This is a designer who can accomplish so much by reducing elements to their very basic level.  There's one more poster from this collection found at our earlier post on him here.

April 29 A Forca da Rua at the Cuckoo Club Custom Guitar benefit show UK

The ABC Trust is pleased to present A Força da Rua (Force of the Street), an exclusive contemporary street art project bringing together 12 of the finest artists from Brazil and the UK, including D*Face, Inkie, Titi Freak, Speto and Calma. Each artist will create a unique piece of art that will help raise funds and awareness for Brazil’s most vulnerable children.

Gibson Guitar - a long time supporter of the ABC Trust charity - have donated 12 of their most iconic guitars including Les Paul, Melody Maker, Flying V and SG - to be customised. These will then be exhibited at a central London location and sold at a high profile VIP charity art auction at the Cuckoo Club on 29 April.

The ABC Trust (Action For Brazil’s Children’s Trust), whose co-founder and Patron is Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, have chosen graffiti and street art to work with as it reflects the rebellious free spirit of music and Brazil’s creative youth. Each of the artists’ work for the guitars reflects how art and music should be accessible and available to young people without discrimination and have the ability to inspire and transform.

UK ARTISTS

D*FACE | KID ACNE | INKIE | REMI/ROUGH | WILL BARRAS | PURE EVIL

BRAZILIAN ARTISTS

SPETO | RAMON MARTINS | CALMA | TITI FREAK | DANIEL MELIM | TINHO

There will also be a public competition hosted by a panel of judges including Cedar Lewisohn (Tate Modern Curator), graffiti expert and author Tristan Manco (including Graffiti Brasil, Thames & Hudson 2005), filmmaker Lorna Lavelle, participating artist INKIE and Francesca Gavin, Dazed & Confused Magazine’s Visual Arts Editor and author of Street Renegades: New Underground Art (published by Laurence King). The competition will be launched this month, inviting UK residents to submit their own designs for customising a Gibson guitar, inspired by the project title, with the opportunity for the winning work to be featured as part of the exhibition.

As well as the exhibition and auction, a short documentary film will be made about the project by filmmaker of the moment Lorna Lavelle, known for her recent stunning series of shorts for Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and SHOWstudio, as well as music videos Lupe Fiasco and UNKLE, and the forthcoming re-mastered version of the Warhol-era satire Brand X (for which Lorna is both re-mastering and directing an accompanying documentary) and the Brazilian graffiti art documentary Weapon of Choice.
