From the 5th to the 9th October 2009, the international art scene’s attention will be drawn to Lueneburg. As part of the Welcome Week for the first-year students of the Leuphana Universit of Lueneburg a great streetart event is planned, that will bring together the university, the town and the art world. Rik Reinking, curator from Hamburg, directs the event artistically.

About 35 internationally renowned streetartists are invited to install their artworks at various locations in the city centre and the different university sites. The art event and ist reception by Lueneburg’s population wont be left unheard. During the Welcome Week 2009 Leuphana’s 1.200 first-year students will document the event by shooting and editing video clips, which will be presented to the public on an online media platform.

Furthermore public television stations will document the exceptional dialog of artists, students and the population of Lueneburg as well as the dialog of modern art and the medieval city centre. The art event will therefore gain enormous radiance outside the city boundaries.

The following artists have been invited to the Streetart Event:
Adam & Akay, Akim, Alex Diamond, Almut Linde, Ash, Ben Eine, Brad Downey, Boxi, Bronco, Daniel Man, Dave the Chimp, DTAGNO, Evol, Faith47, Flying Förtress, Herakut, Herbert Baglione, Jay-One, Loomit, Mirko Reisser (DAIM), Moki & 1010, Pius Portmann, SKKI, Swoon, Tilt, Trica, Tryone, Vitché & Jana, Zevs, Zezao, 56K.

Getting to Lueneburg
The train ride from Hamburg to Lueneburg takes 28 minutes. The capital of Lower Saxony, Hannover, is one hour away by train. Trains to Berlin leave every hour – it takes less than three hours to get there. Connected to the A1, A7 and A250 highways, Lueneburg is also easily accessible by car. Hamburg Airport with domestic and international flights is a 60- minute drive away.


Streetart in Lueneburg
The artists will be working in Lueneburg’s city centre, in the area Rotes Feld as well as on the University Campus Scharnhorststraße (The Locations). The city centre is within 10 minutes walking distance from the train station. The busses 5011 and 5012 connect Campus Scharnhorststraße and the train station.

From 28. of August, Brad Downey will exhibit under the titel "Broken Horizon" at REINKINGPROJEKTE in Hamburg.

Exhibition: BRAD DOWNEY – BROKEN HORIZONS
Dates: by appointment only

Opening: 28. August 2009 – 7 pm


Born 1980 in Louisville, Kentucky (USA).
2003 - 2005 Slade School of Art - MFA Painting - London, UK
1998 - 2003 Pratt Institute - BFA, Film - Brooklyn, NY
Downey uses film, sculpture, painting and drawing to reflect on concepts about the establishment versus the audience.

Holding a fine art master's degree in painting and sculpture from London's prestigious Slade School of Art (where he studied under Bruce Mclean and Will Alsop), Downey grew up in a United States Marine Corps family, traversing towns across the United States, soaking up influences of converse surroundings that would later add to his unique perspective. Pratt Art Institute drew him to New York City in 1998, where he first cultivated his study of Fine Art. Stimulated by the buzz of the urban, he sought out alternate methods for depicting his environment, deciding on a film degree for formal study.
Downey stakes a claim for the individual's interpretation of the signals and systems that govern the urban environment and imperceptibly determine our movements around the city. Because we're so accustomed to these signs and beacons, their subtle manipulation or replication can often be overlooked. Downey uses humour to underscore the institutional regulation of public behaviour and to provoke awareness of how this control affects the evaluation of art, self, and social status.
Subtile, comic and often provocative, Downey surprises the viewer with his reactions to how property, space and personal experience overlap in an era of privatization. Using found and forgotten remnants of urban architecture, Downey reinvents public objects and reinserts them into the every-day landscape. These temporary disruptions - persisting as little as minutes and as long as months - toy with interrelations between individuals as they inhabit public and private space.

Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art Presents

‘Grey Area’
A solo exhibition of new artwork by Boxi

Address: Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art
1257 N. La Brea Avenue
West Hollywood CA 90038

Opening reception: Thursday, April 9th 2009 / 7.00pm – 10.00pm
Exhibition Dates: April 9th – April 30th 2009


Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art is proud to present Grey Area, the first US solo exhibition of work by UK artist Boxi. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, April 9th, 2009 from 7.00pm – 10.00pm, with the artist in attendance. Work in the show will include spray paint on canvas and MDF, sculpture, and limited edition prints, as well as a site-specific installation. The exhibition will be open for viewing through Thursday, April 30th 2009 from 1.00pm -7.00pm.

“I am drawn to the incongruous narrative in figuration. My works aspire to polarize the stability of what is at first perceived to be harmless or sweet but in reality turns out to be pathetically desperate or tragic or vice versa. A dark disillusioned romanticism pervades throughout… (along with) confrontational themes, such as paranoia, disappointment, expectation, grief, mistrust and other upbeat reflections of our times.

“It is in this state of reflection, this ‘grey area’ of ambiguity and blurred truth that I have found myself in, a place where trends and crashes in the market aggressively threaten and pressurize social behavior. Making life-sized figures that articulate this uncertainty is a way for me to come to terms with the phrase ‘of our time’.”
- Boxi

About the Artist:

Born 1974 in Kent, England, Boxi completed his studies at the London St. Martins School of Art with a BA Fine Arts degree in Painting in 1996. He has lived and worked in Berlin, Germany since 1999, joining REINKING PROJEKTE in 2007.

Urban Art is everywhere. Unsolicited, it leaves its traces and signs in urban space. It conquers public space with stickers, posters, extensive murals, and stencil graffiti. It’s galleries are the world’s streets. What began as graffiti in the large cities on America’s east coast forty years ago has since experienced a decisive development. Even if the majority of actions continue to be produced anonymously and illegally, it is no longer exclusively a phenomenon associated with youth culture. Many of the protagonists have emancipated themselves from the pictorial language of graffiti writing and experimented with new forms of expression. With their subtle and humorous, occasionally offensive interventions in the urban landscape they attempt to force open familiar visual habits. As a rule, they are not concerned with damaging the urban infrastructure but with participating in a dialogue with the public.
There is a variety of Urban Art. Temporary actions, unusual objects and sculptures, lettering, and characters are woven into the visual flow of the city as stumbling blocks. The possibility that many of the passers-by take no notice of these interventions is consciously taken into account. Thus they comprise a subversive counterweight to the constant presence of advertising, whose blinking images and seductive buying options dominate everyday life. It is not only in this respect that Urban Art is the expression of a critical examination of the social, cultural, and economic dimensions of the city, which in the age of globalization is rapidly and sustainably changing.

Urban Art has recently experienced a downright hype. Numerous galleries and museums around the world have organized exhibitions, and works by the most well-known representatives of the genre have gained premium prices at auctions. What some accuse of being commercialization, the loss of authenticity, and the betrayal of original interests is viewed by many artists as a new chance. By transferring their themes and methods in the protected space of the museum, they develop very new and surprising approaches. But what kind of art is this that leaves its ancestral terrain? Do the works not require the city as a resonating space, as an immediate opponent? And is one of the essential features of Urban Art not its impermanence, its spontaneity? The Weserburg will be devoting itself to these questions in a large-scale exhibition centered around works from the Reinking Collection.

The Hamburg-based collector Rik Reinking is a man of conviction. He has for many years now been accompanying numerous artists in the scene with great passion and intensity. His collection now includes representative works by some of the most influential protagonists. These include such well-known names as Banksy (UK), DAIM (Germany), Brad Downey (USA), Os Gemeos (Brazil), Shepard Fairey (USA), and Zevs (France). The exhibition will be supplemented by several artistic stances and new works, which have in part been produced specifically for Bremen. In addition, artistic interventions are planned in the Hanseatic city’s public space. Thus the exhibition will not only afford insight into a still young, unusual collection, it is at the same time a venue for the most recent developments of non-conformist art form that is in a constant state of flux.

The exhibition will be supplemented by an attractive supporting program with workshops, walks through town, film evenings, and discussions and thus stimulate a lively as well as critical examination of the phenomenon of Urban Art. In addition, a comprehensive catalogue will be published including numerous illustrations and texts that are worth reading.
The exhibition concept was developed by Ingo Clauß, curator at the Weserburg; Adrian Nabi, who as the initiator and curator of Berlin’s Backjumps exhibitions is one of the most well-known aficionados of the scene; and the collector Rik Reinking, who has been closely connected with the museum for many years. Responding to an invitation by the 32nd German Protestant Kirchentag (May 20–24, 2009), parallel to the exhibition, Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien is realizing the project "Sign Seeing" (PDF Flyer) in Bremen. Besides highly interesting events related to Urban Art, the Copenhagen-based artist Victor Ash will be designing all four sides of an overhead hopper and thus set an example for a lively examination of street art.

A collaboration between Reinking Projects and Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien. In cooperation with the 32nd German Protestant Kirchentag, May 20–24, 2009, in Bremen. Special thanks go out to the Friends of the Weserburg.

Participating artists: Akay, Akim, Ash, Herbert Baglione, Banksy, Blu, Boxi, Brad Downey, Bronco, Daniel Man, Dave the Chimp, Mark Jenkins, Miss Van, Mode 2, Os Gêmeos, Mirko Reisser (DAIM), Shepard Fairey, Space Invader, Swoon, DTagno, Tilt, Vitché, Heiko Zahlmann, Zevs, Zezão
