Recap- Mare139 at Carrack Modern Art

This article was posted by Mare 139 1 Month, 3 weeks, 4 days, 20 hours, 30 minutes ago.

Its been a busy several months of back to back exhibitions leading up to Art Basel. My last stop before Miami was my exhibition at the Carrack Modern Art Gallery in Durham NC. The show had a great deal of work and process that one can see in the presentations, there are more images to come from Durham and Miami where I exhibited these works at the Co11ective Exhibition and took part in the ‘In Situ’ mural project with Poesia and others.

A few weeks ago Alice Mizrachi worked on this amazing urban art project for Chevylife painting a brand new Chevy Sonic. With her Zoo York Pro Skaters Rodney Torres and Eli Reed collaborated on this project showcasing art and skate culture. With inspiration from Rodney and Eli, she created a cityscape wrapped around the car with Flushing Meadows Unisphere in Queens on the hood.

HTTF presents County of Kings

This article was posted by Mare 139 2 months, 1 Day, 9 hours ago.

I’m proud to share that HHTF is presenting Lemon’s work and would love for you to make it out + support. Lemon’s story is shared by a generation of New Yorkers who grew up in 1980s + 90s and survived poverty, violence, AIDS + crack. It’s a story of family, perseverance, redemption, love, hope, tragedy and joy. Come away grateful as you prepare for another trip around the sun.

Lemon Andersen’s “County of Kings” was presented by Spike Lee and co-produced with the Public Theater and the Culture Project to critical acclaim.

Lemon and HHTF, with the help of El Museo del Barrio, are bringing the show back to the people for a special holiday performance!

This might be your last chance to experience this true story of a Hip-Hop baby who survived the New York ghetto of the 80s and 90s.

Mare139 John Wendelbo Colab

This article was posted by Mare 139 2 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 11 hours, 20 minutes ago.

John Wendelbo and I collaborated on a painting for my exhibition Structural Interventions. Assisting us was Ian, and Juan two talented artist in their own right. John and I are exploring a style between his digital paintings and my graffiti inspired abstraction. This new style will also be presented at Art Basel this year on a wall for the first time. Both of us are sculptors that share similar aesthetics and ideas which one can see in the show, this cross pollination has yielded some breakthrough works and promise for whats ahead.

Stepping out of the fray and working in Durham at the Carrack Modern was the perfect launching pad before Miami, it gave me room to work and flush out ideas and tap into a new audience, this is a perfect way for an artist to work. The Carrack is open to new artists and I suggest that if you are interested in showing and or supporting the gallery you reach out to John or Laura at the gallery. http://durhamsculpture.org/carrack/

This project could not happen with out the support of Carrack Modern and Clyde Valentine at the Hip Hop Theater Festival and the support of those friends and advocates who supported the Kickstarter fund raiser. I am humbled by your support.

As well we are trying to raise funds to keep the gallery going- http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnwendelbo/the-carracks-kickstarter

The Carrack Modern Art is a zero-commission, no-strings-attached exhibit space for artists in the downtown area of Durham, NC. We stay open entirely on donations from the community and encourage artists to take full control of their shows… why? There is a simple premise: by being entirely zero-commission, non-commercial and open to all artists to have one day, one weekend, and up to two week shows, we free the artists from any curatorial pressures and provide them with a high quality space to put on the best possible shows. To artists, we simply say: “Yes, you can do it here, put on a great show and good luck.” To the community, we say: “Come to the Carrack!” See for yourself, we’re located at 111 West Parrish Street, Durham, NC 27701.

So far, the community has supported us and kept the space open entirely through grassroots donations but, as we switch gears and build a program of ever more ambitious exhibits, we need some degree of certainty as to the roof over our heads. We have a fantastic exhibit space in the heart of downtown Durham, help us raise a full twelve months of rent to secure this great space for the artistic community to use!

Slick K2S earns the Complex Best Hip Hop Album Cover in the number 20 spot for the Pharcydes Bizarre Ride II as he put it- “This was a great project all around, I was painting rails for days. It was all by hand, we still weren’t hip to the computer technology yet. I even got attacked by fire ants while painting this biatch. They got Fuct listed a photographer, it was actually Block from Venice. Back then I used to draw all the blue line and Erik Brunetti used to have to decipher my scribbles and ink it, I’ll try and post sketches when I dig em up……Erik and I were FUCT GRAPHICS before we did clothing……”
