FAILE AND BAST AT LAZ LONDON

The Faile Bast Deluxx Fluxx Arcade 12th February - 27th March 2010
To kick-start the 2010 programme, Lazarides is proud to present a rare treat in the form of Faile, Brooklyn’s infamous collaborative duo. Bringing their unique vision to London and featuring long-time collaborator, Bast, the two floors of Lazarides Greek Street gallery will be taken over for a truly experiential exhibition.
Haunts of 80s populist culture inspire the distinctive concept show. Faile and Bast’s signature elements will resound throughout the galleries, no nook left uncovered, creating an explosively immersive installation. Interaction with a variety of participatory components will be encouraged among gallery visitors along with the added bonus of being able to purchase Faile artworks for a mere £2, unless that is, you want to use them within the exhibition, intrigued? You should be.
A hop, skip and jump away at Lazarides’ Rathbone gallery will be a 10-year retrospective of Faile’s work. Having emerged on the New York scene in the late 90s, they’ve gathered a firm following over the years with their flypostered vision transforming many a street the world over. Creating original imagery from an array of pop culture, their practice amalgamates: prints, paintings, collage, sculpture, murals and urban interventions.

HAITIAN EARTHQUAKE APPEAL @ STOLEN SPACE

Jeff Antebi is a noted war photographer with extremely close ties to the Haitian people. Stolenspace Gallery has teamed up with Jeff to make many of his previously unavailable Haiti photos available as limited edition prints, with proceeds going to help several worthy relief agencies after the devastating earthquake. Each print will be signed, numbered and limited to 1 of only 150.

In Jeff's own words:
"To get a sense of my experience in Haiti, a very positive one, please read my essay from NPR here http://ow.ly/WtnrI went to Haiti twice in 2009. As recently as 6 months ago. Once to photograph the elections and once to spend time photographing portraits in Cite Soleil, one of the worst slums in the Western Hemisphere. On both occasions, I found the spirit and humour of Haitian people to be immeasurable, even in the face of such daunting living conditions.What's happening there right now, after this earthquake, is one of the most dire humanitarian catastrophes in decades. Requiring urgent and immediate care. Whatever ones personal moral and philosophical perspective might be, it never hurts to help people who are in need of clean water and medicine.Doctors Without Borders and Oxfam are the charities that we have chosen to benefit from the sale of each print.

I have been working with both for many many years." All of the photographs have been printed with the kind support of Genesis Imaging

THE FAITH OF GRAFFITI

This classic book has been updated and re-released and is now available at a bookstore near you

The press release reads:
" In 1973, author Norman Mailer teamed with photographer Jon Naar to produce The Faith of Graffiti, a fearless exploration of the birth of the street art movement in New York City. The book coupled Mailer's essay on the origins and importance of graffiti in modern urban culture with Naar's radiant, arresting photographs of the young graffiti writers' work. The result was a powerful, impressionistic account of artistic ferment on the streets of a troubled and changing city—and an iconic documentary record of a critical body of work now largely lost to history.

This new edition of The Faith of Graffiti, the first in more than three decades, brings this vibrant work—the seminal document on the origins of street art—to contemporary readers. Photographer Jon Naar has enhanced the original with thirty-two pages of additional photographs that are new to this edition, along with an afterword in which he reflects on the project and the meaning it has taken on in the intervening decades. It stands now, as it did then, as a rich survey of a group of outsider artists and the body of work they created—and a provocative defense of a generation that questioned the bounds of authority over aesthetics "

Vandalog are giving away a couple of copies of this book so if like me you are too tight to shell out £12.00, then get over there and enter before 6pm (GMT) on Wednesday, January 13th
