Awangarda gallery / Wita Stwosza 32 str, Wrocław, Poland.
18.07 - 17.08.2008 (Opening : 18th of July at 7 p.m.)

Boy, Dwaesha, Wojciech Gilewicz, Peter Fuss, Olaf Brzeski.
The first exhibition in Poland which presents the works of 20 leading
European and Polish artists whose art derives from broadly understood
urban art. Different attitudes, various ways, similar origins. Clas-
sical or political graffiti was a significant point for the development
of each invited guest. The fact of interfering into urban atmosphere
with egocentric tag or graphics taken from the pattern influenced the
way the artists think, act, create and share with their mature and
personal art. Those attitudes which derive from counter cultural and
alternative acts of urban activism, seize new areas of social operation
and mass culture such as graffiti, street performances, tatoos, cartoon,
typography, photography, illustration or person creation. The exhibition
does not literally transfer street art into sterile space of the gal-
lery but is rather an attempt to change stereotyped way of its perception,
it is the attempt to show that the barrier between high art and marginal
urban art is weak. It aims to present the inspirations, philosophy and
social dimension, crucial for this art, which reflect contemporary,
democratic tendencies to participate in culture.The violent mixture is
created by the attempt to equal working in studio and working in urban
space. This mixture will govern BWA Wrocław and the streets of Wrocław
for a month.

exposure will take place in the Arts centre in Canteleu within the
framework of the festival of the urban cultures from the 5 to Apr 26,
2008 and will be continued with the Yaralt gallery in Rouen from the

Long time homey, I remember you went on stage for the first time....
You killed that shit! You are the only one that always kept it real.
You will be missed my friend...
Update:
At the funeral last friday one of his friends spoke about his A.K.A's
and one them was "Lumberjack Nickelson", I never heard him shout that
one, but I think it's brilliant. I drew the hat he was wearing the
last time I saw him.
