I am pleased to announce that Iām part of the exhibition ALL BIG LETTERS, starting two days from now (January 20th) at Haverford College in Philadelphia.
Iām actually thrilled to be a part of this, because it differs from most Ā« street art Ā» or Ā« graffiti exhibitions Ā» who claim to be showing/ explaining Ā« street art Ā» or Ā« graffiti Ā» when all thereās to see are pictures of graffiti and uninspired canvases. I think the actions involved in the making of a graffiti (getting the right tools and yourself to the right place at the right time) are as important (if not more) as the visual side of the graffiti when doing graffiti critique. While this is something obvious for writers, this fact is systematically overlooked by institutions, who often see (and sell) graffiti as a picture, so Iām proud to be part of an exhibition that tries to correct the record.
My contribution consists in two prototypes of graffitips fanzines, one of which will be available for reading. Thereās about 9 pages of stuff I havenāt published on tumblr in itā¦ More news about this coming very soon!
