In collaboration with Original Cultures, a new international non-profit cultural and arts initiative, StolenSpace presents an exclusive exhibition of new works from famed European artists Ericailcane (Italy), DEM (Italy) and Will Barras (UK)
This
exhibition will form part of the Original Cultures London 2010 event
and run from February 12th until March 7th. This will be the trio’s
second collaborative project following their work during Original
Cultures’ first event in Bologna, Italy, in June 2009 which saw them
create an exclusive animation and shadow-based installation. As
visiting guests, Ericailcane and DEM will take the lead bringing to
StolenSpace a collection of brand new paintings and other media. Will
Barras meanwhile will be exhibiting a new animation and associated
designs he is producing exclusively for the show. Together these three
artists have received worldwide acclaim in recent years, exhibiting
from Los Angeles to Sweden via Hong Kong and Eastern Europe.t
Exclusive to the exhibition will be the release of a limited edition
collaborative screen print by the three artists and printed by
StolenSpace, as well
as a series of 6 picture discs produced by Original Cultures and
featuring art from Will Barras, Ericailcane and DEM and music from Om
Unit (UK), Tatsuki (JP) and Tayone (IT), the three musicians involved
in the OriginalCultures project. These picture discs, six 10”s, will be
framed and sold with a separate 7” featuring two exclusive tracks from
each musician. These discs,combining visual arts and music in a rather
unique package, are exclusive to the exhibition.
An opening party will be held on February 11th with Will Barras in attendance. Ericailcane, DEM and Will Barras will be present at the gallery on March 4th for a closing party which will feature live painting from the trio in and around the gallery.
Original Cultures London 2010 will take place from February 27th until March 5th, 2010. This is a week-long event that brings together 7 artists from the UK, Italy and Japan and the fields of music and visual arts for a series of activities (workshops, exhibition) in venues across East London. The artists are Ericailcane (IT), DEM (IT), Will Barras (UK) and Hiraki Sawa (JP) for the visual arts and Om Unit (UK), Tatsuki (JP) and Tayone (IT) for music. During this time new and original collaborative works will be created, culminating on Friday March 5th in a one-of-a-kind audio and visual showcase featuring all the art created during the week and performed live. This is Original Cultures’ second such event, following the project’s debut in June 2009 in Bologna, Italy. The London event has support from Hackney Council.
A non-profit project based in the UK, Italy and Japan, Original Cultures connects cultures through modern performing arts, focusing on the fields of music and visual arts. More information, video, audio and a full schedule is available at www.originalcultures.org.
