No Mercy For The Weak

Opening Reception

Exhibition Dates: September 7th- 21st
New Image Art is pleased to announce, "No Mercy For The Weak" an art show and print release by Neck Face. Neck Face's latest 2 print set developed from his extensive study and research of bar room practices. Also featured in the show will be an altar to the Night Stalker (Richard Ramirez) who recently died in prison. The Night Stalker is one of Neck Face's favorite inspirations.
In much of the same tradition of creating art from bar room drama by such great writers as Charles
Bukowski, Ernest Hemingway, and Jack London and such great artists as Vincent Van Gough (Night Café in the Place Lamatine in Arles), Ed Kienholz (Barney's Beanery) and Toulouse Lautrec (Moulin Rouge), Neck Face also used his bar room observations to create his latest prints. The prints are portraits of demons in the depth of their darkness yet Neck Face manages to make the images hysterical and not so serious after all. By the way Neck Face says," Don't Drink and Drive."
Neck Face exhibited alongside those considered most influential in American street culture in MOCA's Art in the Streets exhibition. The event reintroduced the performer in Neck Face, whose portrayal of a down and out alley dweller brought him the first mention in the New York Times review of the graffiti and street art retrospective. His Halloween show openings have become notable charades celebrating the lurid and the ghastly complete with a haunted house entrance staged along with his family.
Neck Face's aptitude for multi-media has also been seen in the production of metal masks, paper-mache sculptures and film. For this unique character and international figure of street culture, the true triumph lies in the pure harmony between his examination of the villain, the rogue and the nightmare and his unfaltering wit and fresh approach. Neck Face's unmistakable illustrative style is maintained in the expansion of his medium to silk screened prints.

G40 Exhibit
G40 Exhibit Schedule:
Exhibit runs: Sept 13th - October 6th, 2013
Exhibit runs: Sept 13th - October 6th, 2013
Art Whino returns in 2013 for the fourth edition of the G40 Art Summit. This year Art Whino will be teaming up with Suite Nation to present a month-long, multi- experiential Art Summit with musical performances throughout the month. This year’s theme is the “Art of transformation” and the exploration of reclaimed spaces and objects. The location of this year’s Summit will be an all surrounding art experience with every inch of the space covered with awe inspiring works of art. The building itself has a rich background. Completed by James A. Boyce over a 12-year period in 1875, it exemplifies an eclectic mix of Victorian and Romanesque architectural styles combined with Gothic Revival and Queen Anne elements. The building has remained vacant for two decades and is now coming back to life inside and out, following its external and internal revival this past fall and spring.
Art Whino commissioned Atlanta based artist HENSE to complete a full building mural wrap resulting in the building’s current lively, colorful and graphic appearance. Following this intervention, Art Whino teamed up with Australian mural artist, MEGGS, to create a mural that covers what will be the performance space on the second floor of the building; the mural covers the entire room from floor to ceiling with bursts of primary color and stylized imagery in bold black outlines. Just like in past years, the G40 will be a massive exhibit featuring over 300 artists and 500 works from around the globe. The exhibition will feature canvas work from artists, installation walls, installation rooms and full size 10’ murals. The sheer size of the exhibit will require multiple visits to take in the full experience. Events throughout the month will allow visitors to return to the space and continue their exhibition experience, including various opportunities to meet featured artists and attend a wide variety of programming, from musical performances to social events.

Nineta
Gettin to Know...
RDC: With a recognisably smooth, easy flowing style (that we really like), we thought we'd better get in touch with Nineta and find out more about her wicked manga technique...
She talks to us about about her work, shows us her cool spray on various surfaces and gets to grips with a massive spool... Gnarly!
I am from Barcelona, Spain. I lived 7 years in the US and the last two years I lived in Berlin, Germany. A few weeks ago I moved back to Boston, MA.
RDC: Tell us what sort of media you use please and what others you have tried?
I've been doing street art for a while... first I always did stickers, paste ups and little murals. Once I got to Berlin, I started spray painting and using rollers for bigger pieces.
I also like to paint recycled objects, like mannequins, bowling pins, wood wire reel, giant puzzles, etc... I usually paint them with ink,acrylic paint or spray paint.
RDC: Why Nineta… what does it mean?
Nineta is my alterego, it means little doll in Catalan. It shows the naughty, shyness and playful curiosity of a girl.
Just spooling around...
When it comes to the way I paint and do my artwork, yes, even though I did study graphic design and that helped me in many ways.
RDC: Do you tend to hit graff spots at nigh or during the day and what brand of spray are you into at present?
Most of the time I go paint during the day. I like to spray with Montana 94.
RDC: Can you tell us where the inspiration for your fairly like figures came from and how Barcelona treats graffiti artist compared to Boston, USA?
My figures are inspired by the woman nude and the different postures that a women can adopt. Manga is also a big inspiration for me and all the street artist that are out there. I also like to make the body interact with objects, animals, monsters or other bodies.
Barcelona had a great time for graffiti around 2001-2006 but after that it has been getting very strict and less tolerant. Boston is not a very friendly city when it comes to graffiti. It is too classic, even though lately the Institute of Contemporary Art -ICA has been showing many street artists and graffiti artists work. I think right now a great place to be if you want to learn and get inspired is Berlin.
RDC: We understand that you dress and express yourself loudly, can you explain?
Not really, I express myself loudly when I paint, but in my real life I am a pretty quiet and an introverted person.
RDC: If you could rewind something in your life, what would it be?
Live for a few more months, again in Berlin.
RDC: What shows or new work have you got coming up?
I just finished last week a mural and a few mannequin heads for a show called 'Street Diamonds 2', which is showing in Fourth Wall Project Gallery in Boston for the next coming weeks. I am working on some other pieces that will be showing in Washington DC and New York City.
RDC: Thanks for the coffee and the chat Nineta, keep up the ace work ☋

The Legend of COOL "DISCO" DAN

MOCA Grand Avenue, Ahmanson Auditorium
Doors at 7pm, Film at 7:30pm
FREE
MOCAtv Presents The Legend of COOL "DISCO" DAN, a feature documentary narrated by D.C. native Henry Rollins that tells the story of Washington, D.C. in the 1980s through the eyes of D.C. graffiti legend, COOL "DISCO" DAN. Blending exclusive interviews with dozens of local and national celebrities along with archival footage, Washington natives offer the most comprehensive portrait to date on this critical decade. The development of Go-Go, D.C.'s distinctive style of urban music, racial tensions, crews, sensationalist media, crack, and graffiti are important pieces of this story. Graffiti historian Roger Gastman and filmmaker Joseph Pattisall spent over ten years researching and documenting the unknown stories of COOL "DISCO" DAN's D.C. for the project.

It featured a lot of great work from mainly local Dublin artists. Lauren, one of the authors of the book and owner of the publishers Visual Feast Productions, was kind enough to send us over some recent shots from the streets of the Emerald Isle.

"As an artist and curator myself, I love music because it helps me power my creative circle. In other words, it helps me think of ideas and controls my art. Music can soothe me through trance, or pump me up with dubstep. This can cause effect on my characters and ideas by giving me expression. The expression leads to many ideas that transfer into my art. I hope that this show, "Music to My Ears," will take you through that same journey and through a trip of music wonderland."
