So I've been off this blog for about a month now. Not because I gave up on it but because I was just so busy this last month. Ok so I was made a partner in Primary Flight which meant that I had to get these dudes organized which was no easy task. This year Primary Flight was bigger than it had ever been with twice as many artists and murals as the 3 previous years combined. On top of that we launched our new permanent gallery and offices called Primary Projects in the Design District with a solo show by the homie RETNA. We also had the Shore Club rented out for a week as well as curating and re-branding the Graffiti Gone Global show and helping New Image Art with their show at Cafeina. Not to mention the 65+ murals we were curating and all the parties we threw both at the Shore Club on South Beach and Cafeina in Wynwood simultaneously all week. It was one chaotic week, to say the least but it's over now and we're already starting to plan for Basel 2011. This coming year is going to be a break through year for Primary Projects. Just wait to see what we've got planned.
Here's a few pics of RETNA putting some final touches to his works. I'll be posting more pics of Primary Flight and Basel week in the next few days so stay tuned
For the 2010 Frieze Art Fair, Steve Lazarides (the man who made Banksy a household name) has created visions of hell in the tunnels underneath Waterloo station. Earlier this year Lazarides issued 15 of his protégés with a copy of Dante’s Inferno and the promise of a darkened nook somewhere in the maze of railway tunnels running underneath Waterloo. The resulting installation, Hell’s Half Acre, will run for one week only, a mildewed alternative to the air-conditioned marquees full of high-rollers in Regent’s Park. “It’s certainly going to be something different from Frieze,” says Lazarides, looking thoughtfully at a menacing shop dummy wearing a gas mask. “The only reason I didn’t do it last year was because I felt it was the wrong time to be poking fun at the art fairs. It was pretty grim. This year I thought, it’s time to play again.
