Faust x Faune Motion Graphics Graffiti Mural
‘There was a huge event organized by Culture Shock at a raw warehouse space in Bushwick, Brooklyn on Saturday and I collaborated with friends of mine at the motion graphics studio Faune, painting a 10 ft x 30 ft mural to compliment a 6 ft pyramid protruding from the wall on which they projected video art.
I aspired for the mural to challenge the popular perception of graffiti, warping my ‘tag’ to an architectural scale which drew as much from art history and design as it did the streets. Their video featured constantly blending patterns that would fluctuate between color and black and white. By using projection mapping techniques and real-time 3D software they were able to create a sculptural extension of the existing wall, a glowing, living object that interacts with physical space. Collaborating with Faune made me look at my work in a new way. We both had very formal concerns about shape and rhythm but they were able to articulate those ideas in a way I never could. The result of our combined efforts transcended the traditional notion of what a mural is.’ -FAUST

Os Gemeos. Too Far Too Close @ DEITCH PROJECTS
June 28 — August 09, 2008
18 Wooster Street, New York
Os Gemeos (pronounced “ose zhe’-mee-ose.”) are two artists from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo were born in 1974, identical twin brothers whose pseudonym, Os Gemeos, translates to “the twins” in Portuguese. In addition to their incredible works created on the streets of Sao Paulo, the twins have in recent years exhibited their art in museums all over the world.
In Too Far Too Close, they will be transforming the gallery into a fantastical cityscape with houses, doors, and passageways, all brought to life with their signature style of imagery. Building upon a group of artworks created for the Museum Het Domein in the Netherlands, this show features new paintings, sculpture, and installation bringing all the magical moments of their work together in one tightly knit dream world of an exhibition.
BBB “JOY OF LIFE” SEO AKA TIE ONE TSHIRT
Tie One (1979–1998), was a graffiti artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was well known in the graffiti community for his aggressive style of graffiti art and the large amount of work he produced. Lim was born in the Philippines to ethnic-Chinese parents. During his early childhood, his family moved to California. As a youth, Lim expressed an interest in art. He was shot and killed at age 18 on a fire escape outside a Tenderloin apartment at 120 Taylor St., having been taken for a burglar by an armed resident. The resident was not indicted for the killing. In its aftermath, friends of Lim planned a 100-foot memorial mural to him in Mission Dolores Park. The death of Tie One and the subsequent lack of any prosecution in connection with it had a profound and lasting effect on San Francisco’s graffiti community.
