Brainstormers

What started out a decade ago as a ragtag bunch of 25 artists in rural North Carolina is now one of the hottest group exhibitions in the Chelsea gallery district. This spring, Joshua Liner Gallery has tapped the global Barnstormers collective to bring its dizzying brand of murals — or “motion paintings” — to the largest show the venue has ever organized. With their numbers swelling to 35 (including appearances by Swoon, Doze Green, ROSTARR, Ryan McGinness, and founder David Ellis), the Barnstormers use image, sound, materials, and technology to connect with contemporary culture.

ultragrøn

Ultra Grøn kort:
--Morten Leck Plesner og Christian Elovara Dinesen udgør kunstnerduoen Ultra Grøn.
I 2005, hvor vi begge boede i Barcelona for at arbejde med kunst, opstod Ultra Grøn. Gennem et sideprojekt hvor vi tog vi på overlevelsestur i bjergene nord for Barcelona og tilbragte 5 hårde dage med dåsemad, tømmerflåds bygning, overnatning under åben himmel i klippesprækker, garn graffiti og alt for lidt vand m.m. opstod vores samarbejde og fælles interesse om oplevelser i naturen.

Statement:
-Ultra Grøn har naturen som omdrejnings punkt
-Ultra Grøn er social interaktion, non profit, gør det selv
-Ultra Grøn udforsker, undersøger, bygger, maler, handler og tager ansvar
-Ultra Grøn skaber æstetiske værker i naturen, på gaden, eller i udstillingsrummet
-Ultra Grøn arbejder for en gennemskuelig kunst som de fleste kan forholde sig til
-Ultra Grøn giver lyst til skabe oplevelser og interaktion med dens miljø
-Ultra Grøn har desværre to onde tvillinger, som vi ikke tager ansvar for

Interaction

Interaction by Barsky
Barsky is the collaboration between Klisterpete and Akay from Stockholm,Sweden

Everytime something is done on the street there is a level of interaction involved. Maybe its not the interaction we hoped for or expected, but every project is an invitation to respond. Even if the response is someone taking down what has been offered up.

This ongoing project has been surprising to watch continue. To see how different people come and make it their own, which is the most you could hope for with projects in public spaces.
Its a simple idea: form simple texts from simple materials, in this case white boards arranged in an easily accesable space that can be seen from anyone walking over a bridge.

People come down to change the message. In some magical moments the message becomes a dialogue, a political debate, a declaration of love. We’re not really sure what it was that got the conversation started. But maybe it helps to begin with an apology.

Mud Stencils

How to do a mud stencil

Materials: Mylar, X-Acto knife, tape, mud, sponge.
1.) Design your stencil. Draw your stencil the size you want it, or design it on a computer and print it. Make sure you do not have islands (parts of an image that will fall out if you cut around them, like the middle of an O.) If you are using text, use a stencil font. If are using a computer print your design the size you want the stencil to be. If it is larger then 8X10 cut it apart in photo shop and print it in pieces, or enlarge it at a local copy store.

2.) Cut it. Tape your design behind or in front of the transparent Mylar. Mylar is the same stuff used as transparencies for projectors, you can find a roll of it at art stores. Use the X-Acto knife to cut your design out of the Mylar.

3.) Get Mud. Find or make some mud. I mixed soil and water then beat it with a whisk. Make sure your mud is not watery. It should be about the same consistency as peanut butter.

4.) Post it. Tape the stencil to whatever you want it on, it works on sidewalks or walls. If parts of the Mylar roll up put some tape under it. Then use the sponge to dab the mud on your stencil. Do not press too hard because if you squeeze muddy water out of the sponge it may sneak under the stencil.

5.) Enjoy. Remove the tape on the outside of the stencil. Carefully remove the Mylar, and enjoy your non-toxic mud stencil.
