Wreck the walls
Subliminal Projects Gallery presents Wreck the Walls, a group exhibition on view December 11, through January 15, 2011. A reception for the artists will be held Saturday, December 11, from 5-9 p.m.
Wreck the Walls includes works by over 30 artists, established and emerging, who have helped shape the artistic spirit influenced by their times. Rebellious pioneers of their artistic genres, who come from a background where there are few rules and anything is possible, have helped pave the way for a younger generation of artists who are influenced by their prevailing subculture. From gallery to street art, this show expresses each artist’s divergence and individuality, offering a visual cornucopia of painting, photography, mixed media, works on paper, digital prints, sculpture, graphic design, and illustration.
This show seeks to allow the viewer a window into the myriad worlds of a group of artists whose careers span over two cultural generations, and whose individual visions create a disjointed mosaic. Their works recall the vastly differing self-perceptions cultivated in a patchwork art world constantly seeking to define and redefine itself. Wreck the Walls embraces the multiple identities of the artistic practice, and rather than seeking to congeal the complex layers of artistic vision that make up the culture, the show celebrates distinct perceptions by juxtaposing artists, whether established or emerging, who reject uniformity in a culture that defies singular classification.
Participating Artists Include:
Alan Shaffer, Alejandro Gehry, Andy Moses, Bertil Petersson, Billy Al Bengston, Blek Le Rat, Craig Stecyk, Curtis Kulig, David Ellis, David Yow, Ed Moses, Ellwood T. Risk, Erik Foss, Eric Schwartz, Eric White, Evan Hecox, Greg Lamarche, Jason Alper, John Van Hamersveld, Laddie John Dill, Larry Bell, Martha Cooper, Monica Canilao, Retna, Robbie Conal, Ryan McGinness, Ryan Travis Christian, Skullphone, Swoon, Tim Biskup, Vanessa Prager, Kelly Berg
Exhibition Dates:
December 11th – January 15th, 2011

d’RAW – International Drawing Showcase
The international exhibition d’RAW aims to contribute to what inside-the-scene folks, the broader public, as well as professional art people think about graffiti writing in relation to contemporary art without beeing booby trapped in a one-sided street versus museum discussion. In contrast, the exhibition approaches this topic from the commonly shared base of drawings. dRAW wants to propose an open minded view towards graffiti writing and street art by presenting historical, ground breaking, simply astonishing or otherwise interesting paper-pencil material as an evidence – not for prosecution, but for quality.
Artists:
Agit – ECB Hendrik Beikirch – Bill Blast – Bitucas – Blade – Anne-Lise Coste – Crash – Boris Tellegen/Delta – Dran – Dondi White – Dr. Rat – Ekundayo – Enes – Erosie – Fafi – Futura 2000 – Pierre Galic – Barry McGee – Os Gemeos – Harald Naegli – Herakut – Honet – Jesic – Koor – Philipp König – Lady Pink – Dave de Leeuw – Loomit – Peter Michalski – Mozes & Taps – Noc 167 – Phase 2 – Quik – Rammellzee – Roa – Seen – Shoe – Collin van der Sluijs – Swoon – The Dulk – Christine Würmell – Won ABC – Zedz – Zephyr
