ME London exhibition with Street Art London

For one month commencing 10th July, Street Art London will take over ME London on the Strand with a five strong artist line up from the worlds of graffiti and street. Thierry Noir, BRK, RUN, Christiaan Nagel and Zomby will exhibit their works on canvas and project directly on the nine storey marble walls of ME London’s 30 metre high atrium, providing a stark contrast with the walls of the city.  Speaking about the exhibition, Richard Howard-Griffin, Director of Street Art London says: ‘It’s exciting to exhibit such an eclectic group of street artists and graffiti writers in such a rare environment and take these art-forms to new places and audiences in London’

Street Art London are proud to announce a very unique project entitled, “Baroque The Streets: Dulwich Street Art Festival 2013” which will be happening between the 10th and 19th of May.  We have invited some of the biggest names in international street art to Dulwich in order to create an outdoor gallery of large scale public murals inspired by works held by Dulwich Picture Gallery, England’s oldest public gallery. The nine day long festival explores the position of street art, huge new global art movement that it is, in the continuum of art history and will see over 20 of the current masters of the street reinterpret and remix the works of the masters of old. The event will be accompanied by tours of the murals and debates led by academics and experts from both the worlds of street art and classical art alike. We have also taken over an entire house in Dulwich and are putting on a large scale exhibition of works for the general public.  The project is a collaboration between Street Art London and Ingrid Beazley, from Dulwich Picture Gallery.  Ingrid masterminded Stik’s project in Dulwich on 2012 which first introduced the concept of reinterpreting classical works from Dulwich Picture Gallery around the streets of Dulwich.  Three Dulwich Picture Gallery works that will be reinterpreted are set out below with the respective artists.  We will be releasing details of all associated events around the Dulwich Street Art Festival soon.

Thierry Noir and Stik

Street Art London is hosting the iconic Berlin street artist Thierry Noir as he makes his London debut. Noir is a forerunner of the modern street art movement, famous for being the first artist to continuously decorate the Berlin Wall illegally from 1984 to pre-empt its ultimate fall in 1989. Street Art London is joining forces with prominent London street artist Stik to welcome Noir and introduce his art to the walls of Shoreditch and Dalston. The culmination of Street Art London’s programme of events will see Thierry Noir combine forces with Stik in painting a collaborative mural on the prestigious Village Underground Wall. On the 21st of February Noir and Stik will be exploring the continuum of street art history, the old school and the new school, within the broader context of art history at a talk in association with Street Art London and The Courtauld Institute of Art at Somerset House.

Christiaan Nagel mushroom street art exhibition
It is a great honour for Street Art London to announce Christiaan Nagel’s first UK exhibition at Rich Mix on 11 August.  We’ve all seen Christiaan’s bright mushrooms popping up all over London’s rooftops for the last two years and now is your chance to get up close and personal with them.  Christiaan also has a few surprises in store with some new paintings and sculptures.

Where: Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, London, E1 6LA
When: Opening night, Thursday 11 August at 7PM.  All invited. Runs until 21 August.

This is what Christiaan has to say about his show:

“Mushrooms are a metaphor for the idea.  Ideas are original thoughts.  Where do all ideas come from?  They are the culmination of the person and his environmental circumstances.  There is an element of randomness in any idea, that part we don’t have a choice in.  Just like wild mushrooms, ideas ‘pop-up’.”

We’ll be keeping you in the loop with all the build up to the show over the next month….!  Please let us know that you are attending on the show’s facebook event page.
