BABEL CODE : OSMOTIC TRANSMISSIONS ART FROM THE MINDS OF AVOID PI & INFINITY

2010-05-17T18:57:00.002-04:00

BABEL CODE : OSMOTIC TRANSMISSIONS
ART FROM THE MINDS OF AVOID PI & INFINITY

• Location: Mighty Tanaka Studio in D.U.M.B.O
• Opening Reception: May 21st – 6:00pm to 9:00pm
• Duration: May 21st - Jun 11th, 2010
• Cost: FREE
• Contact: Mighty Tanaka , ALEX@MIGHTYTANAKA.COM
• Promotional Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=CnXZV8_YsaA

Thought provoking Street Artists AVOID pi & infinity team up for their first duo show together entitled Babel Code. Peering through a semiotic Petri dish intermixed with sub-conscious communication, Babel Code uses primitive and mystical sources as well as runic references, which charges the works of art with a power and energy beyond the objects themselves.

Babel Code challenges the viewer to reconsider the basic notions of communication and cultural mutation, while providing a closer look into the artist’s own techniques of non-verbal interactions. Building upon a symbolic language shared by both artists, their influences range from a resonance of mixed signals and errant transmissions.

Their symbolism ranges from introverted Platonic deliberation and chemical structures to numerology and DNA; anything and everything from hobo marks and astronomy to grammar diagrams and physics equations.

About the Artists:

AVOID pi was born the year IBM released the Personal Computer. He was raised in South Carolina, on a diet of freight trains, deep forests, punk rock, and DIY. He moved to the coast on the eve of the millennium to study both graffiti and philosophy among the flooded streets of Charleston. In 2006, he moved to New York in order to interact on a global stage. He is working on a language of abstractions in the public space, as well as empowering the political potentialities of graffiti. HTTP://WWW.AVOIDPI.COM

infinity was born in 1962 in the Midwest. His family moved to Manhattan in 1970. Obsessions with comic books, heavy metal, and graffiti eventually embraced studies in expressionism, semiotics, and the sciences. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin at River Falls in 1986 and The School of Visual Arts in 1989. He has followed an erratic career path, but always continued his aesthetic and scholarly research.

2010-05-10T13:42:00.001-04:00

For those of you who haven't heard of us, we represent a local arts advocacy organization called Culture Initiative (CI). CI was started over a year ago to establish a valuable and accessible art community in Charlotte, NC, in order to inspire artists and supply a necessary platform for them to showcase their work. Since our inception we have hosted a wide range of arts & music events around the city, working with over hundred local visual artists.

Our most dynamic event is in the works. It is to be held at the Neighborhood Theatre in NODA on May 15th 2010 with about 60 of the best visual artists we have worked with along with several bands and performing acts.

The event is titled The Extraordinary & the Something Sideshow: a 10-in-1 arts & music showcase extravaganza, will boast 10 exciting exhibits the likes the NODA community has never experienced. We are also very proud to announce that this event is part of the 10 day long Southern Holiday Festival, were several arts organizations in and around the city will be hosting Arts events to celebrate culture in our great city.

Barnstormers 10 years later (Dec.3rd 2009 Cameron N.C.

2009-12-07T00:35:00.002-05:00

Inspired by the latest issue of Juxtapoz magazine (dec. 09) (dedicated to the Barnstormers crew) I made a trip down to Cameron N.C. on December 3rd to see how the remnants are holding up. Some better than others but the trip was well worth it..
Thanks to all who participated back in 99-03 and to Patty at the antique store who provided the map....
By the time I had the map it was 4:30 pm and overcast. I tried to get clear shots and ran them through an hdr filter to try and get the best detail.

Spencer 14-2-1 King of the West Coast Bench

2009-11-05T15:21:00.005-05:00

Whats good folks...
I just wanted to give a shout out to a good friend and partner in the benching game. Spencer 14-2-1 a card carrying NBA member based out of Los Angeles is with out a doubt the hardest working man on the bench. If you don't know you better ask somebody.
Documenting the hottest freights to roll along the west coast his work speaks volumes. Unbelievable photos of some of the most talented artists in the world. A great talent in his own right deserves to be recognized and heralded. Most don't understand the dedication it takes to document these works but I do and appreciate the daily posts.
Be sure to visit his page on the regular, you never know what you are going to see and will not be disappointed. www.flickr.com/true2death/
Keep it up bro, we are watching....
Look for two sections provided by Spencer in the soon to be released BenchWarmers volume 9. They will blow your mind...

8 hour train hunt covering Southeast N.C.

2009-10-13T18:00:00.001-04:00

Sunday a friend and I hit the road in search of the holy grail of train spots. Just like several previous attempts this one came up a bit short. Eight hours, eights cities/towns, not much to brag about. Had a good time saw a lot of the state I had never seen before but the layups sure did look better from satellite imaging. A lot of dead lines. Live and learn I guess. Some new red x's on the map of possibilities but a feeling of accomplishment based on the effort we put forth. You know what I mean? Ask me if there are any layups in Red Springs NC and I can confidently say no. Same goes for Lillington, Raeford, Lumberton and several more but knowing they have been explored from a benching perspective lets me move on to the next adventure.
We did take a few flicks. Not much graff but something nonetheless.
Looking to set sail again soon, stay tuned for highlights.

Not all bad...
