Klughaus Gallery - new graffiti gallery in NYC's Chinatown

:( Late...A few weeks ago I got an email in response to my Ricky Powell Vimeo video from Klughaus Gallery in New York. They wanted to hit me about about their amazing Ricky Powell retrospective in conjunction with clothing retailer, Memes NYC. Sadly, the show has already ended. My bad!

Although I've missed it, I still wanted to share news about this downtown contemporary art gallery. Based in Manhattan's Chinatown/LES, Klughaus crew specialize in artists with graffiti and street culture backgrounds.

As well as a small 600 sq. ft. gallery, Klughaus Gallery also operates as a marketing agency and claims to be "the number one source for commissioned aerosol artwork in New York City." That boast could be disputed, but the work speaks for itself. This picture represents the work. Go to Klughaus's website here for more graffiti commissions.

Limited Edition  Memes launched a limited-edition t-shirt to commemorate the Ricky Powell show. It's a print of a rare (well I haven't seen it before this) Basquiat photo taken by the Rickster in 1986.

Xpression Graffiti, 13-part TV series coming in Fall 2012

My YouTube channel picked up a new fan this week. Stevio is getting his one minute of fame in a new (French) Canadian graffiti documentary titled, "Xpression Graffiti," which airs in September, 2012 and will have web teasers later this month.

My video clip of Cornbread and Taki183 filmed at "Art in the Streets" (at the Museum of Contemporary Art) will be featured in Xpression Graffiti> It's an ambitious 13-part TV series with a web spin-off produced by Québec-based ECP Television Group for French Canada's educational and cultural broadcaster, TFO. Even if you don't speak French you can get the gist of things from the video preview below.



Just for you guys I've also done a translation of the website:

"Xpression Graffiti is a documentary series of 13 episodes that takes us into the unknown, and often despised world, of graffiti and street art. Artistic phenomenon or social evil, art or vandalism? Beginning in September 2012 broadcasting will be on TFO and ARTV.

Xpression Graffiti will also offer the ability to access short capsules simply giving a voice to the project via the website at Monday, May 21, 2012." Xpression Graffiti website.

 I hear that you will be able to catch it online outside of Canada, just keep an eye on Canadian TV channel TFO's website. And "Like" Xpression Graffiti at its Facebook page.
