TEAM ROBBO@Signal Gallery
Signal Gallery are delighted to be showing the works of the infamous and respected 'Team Robbo'.
Taking time out from their ongoing war with Banksy, this will be the first time The Team have shown in a gallery together.
Aside from their graffiti writing, which they started in late 70s, the team members have developed their individual skills as gifted artists, many of whom have shown their work in galleries before.
Most recently Mark Sinckler (Prime) made quite a stir in the national media at the Banksy group show 'Marks And Stencils', with his controversial drawing 'Age Of Shiva'.
If you'd like to attend the very popular Private View then please email us and get your name on the list.
Entry will be restricted to the guest list only for this show.
If you'd like to receive a preview of the works in the show then please let us know via email.

KID ACNE@STOLEN SPACE
StolenSpace private View Invitation - ‘Rhythm Is A Dancer’by Kid Acne - Thursday 31st March, 6-9pm.
“I’M AS SERIOUS AS CANCER WHEN I SAY RHYTHM IS A DANCER” TURBO. B (SNAP 1992).
StolenSpace proudly presents a new body of work from renowned UK street artist Kid Acne.
This exhibition explores the relationship between graffiti and smoking by way of introducing us to a new set of characters known as 'Art Fags' – a play on words and inspired by the tongue-in-cheek response to the expression 'Art Fag' – a term adopted by the more fundamentalist graffiti writers to describe Street Artists, criticizing them for their less hardcore and arguably more contrived contribution to the urban landscape. Both smoking and graffiti can be seen as rebellious, cool and particularly appealing to teenagers. Though through repetition they can both equally become a compulsion, cause serious problems in our adult life and are hard to quit “filthy habits”.
For an advance preview of work available please contact Leon available at the gallery +44 207 247 2684 email: leon@stolenspace.com .

APRIL 17–AUGUST 8, 2011 / THE GEFFEN CONTEMPORARY AT MOCA
The Museum of Contemporary Art presents Art in the Streets, the first major U.S. museum exhibition of the history of graffiti and street art.
The exhibition will trace the development of graffiti and street art from the 1970s to the global movement it has become today, concentrating on key cities where a unique visual language or attitude has evolved. Following MOCA’s presentation, the exhibition will travel to the Brooklyn Museum, where it will be on view March 30–July 8, 2012.
Art in the Streets will showcase installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists from the graffiti and street art community, including Fab 5 Freddy (New York), Lee Quiñones (New York), Futura (New York), Margaret Kilgallen (San Francisco), Swoon (New York), Shepard Fairey (Los Angeles), Os Gemeos (São Paulo), and JR (Paris).
MOCA’s exhibition will emphasize Los Angeles’s role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture.
The exhibition will feature projects by influential local artists such as Craig R. Stecyk III, Chaz Bojórquez, Mister Cartoon, RETNA, SABER, REVOK, and RISK.
A special emphasis will be placed on photographers and filmmakers who documented graffiti and street art culture including Martha Cooper, Henry Chalfant, James Prigoff, Steve Grody, Gusmano Cesaretti, Estevan Oriol, Ed Templeton, Larry Clark, Terry Richardson, and Spike Jonze.
A comprehensive timeline illustrated with artwork, photography, video, and ephemera will provide further historical context for the exhibition.

JR speaks - INSIDE OUT !
JR talks with the american news site FAST COMPANY.
Last fall, the French street artist JR, known for his haunting, massive posters of the faces of ordinary people, won the 2011 TED Prize.
As part of the prize, JR was challenged to think of a way he could use art to change the world. At the TED conference last week, he revealed his plan: a "global art project" called Inside Out, which would transform everyday people into the JR's of their communities.
"Inside Out lets anyone paste, giving them the tools and the framework to share their pictures and what they stand for.," JR tells Fast Company.
JR has done beautiful work, traveling the globe--from the banlieus of Paris to the favelas of Brazil to the walled-in towns of Palestine--and pasting intimate, extreme-close-up portraits of the overlooked and downtrodden in prominent places. (See our slideshow of JR's work.) "I can still do my personal work and Inside Out- it can't really be compared," JR says. The idea behind Inside Out is to crowdsource, and mass produce, the JR spirit.
To do that, JR and TED approached a company called HUGE, an interactive agency with some prominent clients (it managed the Pepsi Refresh project). The goal was to globalize JR's art even further, making it "truly the world's largest art project," HUGE CEO Aaron Shapiro tells Fast Company. People from all over the world are invited to submit close-up portraits in the JR aesthetic (black-and-white face staring at the camera). They upload those photos to a website HUGE built, JR's team will create a physical poster, send it over in the mail, and then the would-be JRs of the world paste the poster in their community.

A.T.G. London !
ATG (Ahead’a The Game) are a group of friends that form a collective of graffiti writers, visual artists, musicians and dj’s, rooted in London sub-culture.
Formed in the year 2000 as a graffiti crew around North-West London by mutual friends with a shared mentality.
Their approach of saturating the city with colour, originality and style, quickly set them apart from others at the time as a forward thinking crew that didn’t do things by halves. By the middle of the 00′s they had marked their place as one of the most prolific graffiti crews to have come out of London and the UK, contributing a lot to the growth of the scene over the last decade.
Over time the group dynamics began to change, with people drifting into various other ventures, while outside of graffiti they have always been connected through the London party scene and the many faces within it, leading ATG into a new era and a new direction. Inspired by the impact and energy they created and wide recognition they received as a graffiti crew, ATG began to transform into a wider movement, using the name and logo to represent DJ’s, MC’s and other visual artists consisting of friends made throughout the years, bringing things up to where they are now.
Today ATG stands as a London institution, a respected brand and a multi-talented collective. The team consists of driven, like minded individuals focused on maintaining a mentality they’ve had from the start. One of quality control, originality and representing London worldwide.

SHEPARD FAIREY - REVOLUTIONS
MARCH 12TH, 2011, 8-11PM
EXHIBITION DATES:
3/12 - 4/23/11
ROBERT BERMAN GALLERY C2
2525 MICHIGAN AVE
SANTA MONICA, CA 90404
OBEY GIANT ART X SUBLIMINAL PROJECTS X ROBERT BERMAN GALLERY ARE PROUD TO PRESENT REVOLUTIONS, A PROJECT FEATURING THE ALBUM COVER ART OF SHEPARD FAIREY.
ON EXHIBITION FROM MARCH 12TH THRU APRIL 23RD AT ROBERT BERMAN'S C2 GALLERY, WILL BE OVER 80 PIECES OF PUNK, ROCK, NEW WAVE, JAZZ, AND HIP-HOP INSPIRED ARTWORK BASED ON THE 12" RECORD COVER FORMAT. TO MARK THIS OCCASION, TWO SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION ALBUM COVER PRINT BOX SETS WILL BE RELEASED FOR THE EXHIBITION. PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE OPENING CELEBRATION ON SATURDAY, MARCH 12TH, 8-11PM.
"LONG BEFORE I KNEW ABOUT ART GALLERIES OR EVEN STREET ART, I WAS EXCITED ABOUT ALBUM COVER ART, IF ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS THE VISUAL COUNTERPART TO THE MUSIC ON THE RECORDS I LOVED. ALBUM COVERS CONJURED A EUPHORIC ASSOCIATION WITH THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE. MOST OF MY EARLIEST HOME-MADE TEE SHIRTS WERE STENCILS BASED ON PUNK ALBUM COVERS. I'VE HAD SOME VERY MOVING ENCOUNTERS WITH ART IN MY LIFE, ESPECIALLY IN THE STREET, BUT ALMOST NOTHING CAN COMPARE WITH THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THE BOOTS MARCHING AND FIRST CHORD OF THE SEX PISTOLS' HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN, OR THE AIR RAID SIRENS LEADING INTO "TOO BLACK, TOO STRONG" ON THE INTRO TO PUBLIC ENEMY'S IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK, OR THE OPENING GUITAR SCREAM OF BLACK FLAG'SRISE ABOVE. THOSE SONGS DID, AND STILL DO, MAKE MY ARM HAIRS STAND UP. MUSIC IS VISCERAL AND ACCESSIBLE, BUT ALSO HAS THE ADDITIONAL POWERFUL LAYERS OF THE LYRICS, WITH THEIR CONTENT AND POLITICS, AND THE STYLE, POLITICS, AND PERSONALITIES OF THE MUSICIANS THEMSELVES. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I LOVE ART, OR TRY TO CONVINCE MYSELF OF ITS RELEVANCE IN SOCIETY, THE FACT REMAINS THAT MUSIC IS A LOT COOLER AND WAY MORE ABLE TO REACH PEOPLE'S HEARTS AND MINDS' BUT I'M A POPULIST AND I LOOK AT THIS WAY: I MAY NOT PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, BUT I'M GONNA ROCK IT HARD AS NAILS ANYWAY. WITH MY ART I TRY TO CAPTURE THE SAME ENERGY AND SPIRIT THAT MAKES MUSIC SO POWERFUL AND DEMOCRATIC. REVOLUTIONS IS A CELEBRATION OF ALL THE GREAT MUSIC AND ACCOMPANYING ART THAT HAS INSPIRED ME OVER THE YEARS."
