On the occasion of the publication of the book, From style writing to graffiti, a street art anthology, the gallery organizes a Graffiti and Street art exhibition which get together the masters of the 70s as well as their most important successors and the renovators of street art. An event which is in line with the commitment taken by Magda Danysz, for already more than 10 years in support of Graffiti and Street Art.

Proud to fight for the recognition of Graffiti and Street Art as a major artistic movement, Magda Danysz publishes this fall an anthology about the History of this key artistic movement.

I caught this interview on http://www.ilovegraffiti.de with Jürgen Feuerstein about the paint brand Molotow. Interesting read I wanted to pass along. Also found a dope piece on Rich 2 RTW ROC and his role as a teacher. You make me proud brother! Good digs for today…

Commentary: ‘But what’s a Latino?’
By Raquel Cepeda
Special to CNN

This is a recent piece by Raquel published on CNN.com. Powerful and thought provoking…

NEW YORK (CNN)—Let’s all pretend to be the astrologer Walter Mercado for a moment. Say we predict that the Obama administration’s master plan to engage people of Latino/Hispanic/Spanish origin proves to be effective.

Let’s say that along with strategic partners Telemundo and the Census Bureau, they somehow manage to corral the millions of “Latinos” into filling out the 2010 census forms in April. Say the idea of plot-kneading the message into an already half-baked yet inexplicably popular telenovela, “Mas Sabe el Diablo,” wins over the hearts and minds of “Latinos” everywhere.

But what’s a Latino?

Editor’s note: Raquel Cepeda is an award-winning journalist, documentary filmmaker and former editor of Russell Simmons’ Oneworld magazine.

This just in- the Red BUll BC-ONE Battle posters came in and they look like a ‘snatcher’, the die cuts look great as does the printing, if you can get your hands on one its a good poster to have. They also flipped my graffix a bit on the promo logo, nice look leaving the tag too.

On Friday before my talk and presentation I attended the Part One Blackbook Master Class. There was a good turn out of writers and non writers who came to take the session in order to learn about the usage of markers on paper and also about style writing. Joining us were Style Masters RIFF 170, NOC167, Original pioneer Snake1, DOC TC5, IVORY, KET and others. For me it was a grand honor to have NOC167 in my presence when I spoke of the evolution of my work, both he and PART were influential in my development, I was fortunate to have NOC167 offer a few words about himself and his work and also to have him by my side so I can express some of my gratitude and highlight some of his accomplishments through the work of my generation of writers who followed his lead, among them KEL1st, DONDI, DURO, MIN, DOZE, CRASH and many others. Funny that as a grown man I still have such regard for an artist of his stature, he may not have the same output or capacity but it lives through me and the generation of writers who practice the art of style writing.

EACH 1 TEACH 1-

Carlos Mare 139 Rodriguez is an internationally acclaimed artist/sculptor and pioneer in the art and culture of Hip Hop. Leading his generation into a new world of possibility with style writing sculpture, he pioneered a vision that had, before him, no reference outside of the painted subways of the time. Throughout his career as a sculpter, Mare 139 has consistently brought innovation to the genre’s aesthetic and vocabulary. Mare 139 earned the prestigeous 2006 Webby Award for his launch of the Hip Hop documentary Style Wars website. Style Wars has also garnered the COMMARTS/Communication Arts Award, Horizon Interactive Award, as well as SXSW/South by Southwest Interactive. Not only an award winner but an award designer, Mare 139 designed and created the award for the annual BET/Black Entertainment Award show, which is given annually to entertainers, athletes and actors. Recipients include Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jay Z, Prince Snoop Dog, Beyonce, Kobe Bryant, Usher, Serena Williams and many others. He also designed a G-Unit Award expressly for 50Cent given to him by fashion designer Marc Ecko. Other award projects include the 2005 and 2007 Red Bull Beat Battle Award and more recent the SPY Award for the 30th Anniversary of the Rock Steady Crew. In 2006-07 Mare 139 worked closely with Director/Actor Robert DeNiro on the film The Good Shepherd as a documenter of ‘the making of the movie’ and as member of Mr. DeNiro’s editing team. His writing has been published in Martha Coopers brilliant photo book Street Play that documents the imaginative ‘play’ of children in the streets of NYC in the late 1970’s. His writings capture the creative play and dangers of his youth in the South Bronx.
