New Burning Candy show July 8th London., by Sacked... on Apr 16, 2011 12:20:47 GMT 1, BURNING CANDY Fight Fire with Fire 10th June โ 10th July Preview: 9th June
Fighting & Happiness, can they really go together? Well Chris Eubank used to talk about โthe art of fightingโ and the cat & mouse scenerio endured by Police Departments and Graffiti Crews worldwide might just prove they can. Whilst Londonโs 2012 Olympics may appear to offer healthy competition, harking back to pitting one individual City or Country against each other, Burning Candy sense this one could be rigged and the only answer is to โFight Fire With Fire.โ The need to strike out or rise above conflict in a recreational sense is something that Burning Candy feel compelled to do. Their Art like most sporting events is defined by itโs location. Take the River Lea host to many a BC production, this may become more of an arena than the Olympic Stadium that it runs alongside. Burning Candy are coming indoors for a moment to take stock before the fight really beginsโฆ

It should be great and will be interesting to see if BC have changed at all since Sweet Toof left the crew, whether it be their art or approach to a show.

BURNING CANDY
โA FIST FULL OF PAINTโ
Exhibition: Friday 8 July โ Sunday 21 August 2011 Private View: Thursday 7 July 2011
Tonyโs is pleased to present โA FIST FULL OF PAINT". An exhibition by East Londonโs notorious Burning Candy (BC) crew.
The exhibition will centre on presenting the aftermath of a western style โshowdownโ using paint-filled fire extinguishers. Two B.C members were let loose in a wild, head to head, battle using high pressured paint, and leaving behind the gestural process of their actions, as well as a film documentation, reflecting the bigger picture of the competitive, fun and extreme nature of the graffiti world. Tonyโs will stage this performative and yet subversive encounter, turning what may at once be perceived as an act of vandalism into a playful comment on the art world and its systems of presentation.
Featuring new works, as well as an on-going screening of exclusive un-released footage from the B.C. produced DOTS film, alongside twenty limited edition box-sets which includes the four segments of the film produced so far, nine prints by the BC crew and a limited edition t-shirt by Mighty Mo will be made available!
Prolific in their home London they have gone on to spread their signature insignias across the United Kingdom and as far as Sweden to Bombay and from Paris to Bangkok, leaving fully covered buildings and walls in their wake. A unifying language can be recognized despite a sense of individualism from each member; no particular style is adhered to and yet, a shared honest bright design within their work unites them in their perfect rendition of the surrealist exquisite corpse, as well as their common belief in a resistance to the ever increasing corporate sterilisation of urban landscapes.
BC have exhibited in a number of high profile exhibitions, and have starred in Channel 4โs 3 Minute Wonder series alongside Blek Le Rat and Pure Evil. Work by BC and its members (many of whom studied fine art at institutions including the Royal College of Art) have been featured in the Saatchi Gallery Collection, as well as numerous private collections around the world.
