'Street Art Saved My Life: 39 New York Stories' - coming this August!!![/url
Brooklyn Street Art Presents Street Art Saved My Life : 39 New York Stories In collaboration with Thinkspace, an art show to exhibit at C.A.V.E. Gallery in Venice (LA), CA on Friday, August 12, 2011 (mark your calendars now)
Street Art Saved My Life : 39 New York Stories heralds the new highly individual character of stories being told on the streets of New York by brand new and established Street Artists from all over the world. Steven P. Harrington and Jaime Rojo, founders of BrooklynStreetArt.com focus on this flashpoint in modern Street Art evolution by curating a strongly eclectic story-driven gallery show with 39 of the best storytellers hitting the streets of New York.
Street Art Saved My Life : 39 New York Stories, the gallery show, accompanied by an LA street wall series by selected artists and a public panel lecture and discussion, intends to stake out the New Guard in street art while recognizing some powerful near-legendary forerunners.
The mainly New York lineup exhibits talent from other parts of the US and internationally (Australia, France, UK, Canada, Israel, Germany) and it is as steel, idiosyncratic and storied as the New York scene itself, including Anthony Lister, Adam Void, Broken Crow, C215, Cake, Chris Stain, Clown Soldier, Creepy, Dan Witz, El Sol 25, Ema, Faile, Futura, Gaia, Gilf!, Hargo, Hellbent, How & Nosm, Imminent Disaster, Indigo, Judith Supine, Kid Acne, Know Hope, Ludo, Mark Carvalho, Miss Bugs, Nick Walker, NohJColey, Over Under, Radical!, Rene Gagnon, Skewville, Specter, Sweet Toof, Swoon, Tip Toe, Troy Lovegates AKA Other, Various & Gould, and White Cocoa.
The staunch individualists in Street Art Saved My Life : 39 New York Stories give voice to the evolution of the Graffiti, Mash-Up, and D.I.Y. movements that birthed them; creating an eccentric, highly individual, and raucous visual experience on the street. With widely varied backgrounds, techniques, and materials at play, “The Story” is the story. With truths as diverse and difficult as the city itself, each one of these artists is a part of a fierce, raw, new storytelling tradition that is evolving daily before our eyes.
Steven P. Harrington and Jaime Rojo are founders of BrooklynStreetArt.com and co-authors of Brooklyn Street Art and Street Art New York, both by Prestel Publishing (Random House). Harrington and Rojo are also contributing writers on street art for The Huffington Post.
Street Art Saved My Life : 39 New York Stories Presented by Brooklyn Street Art in collaboration with Thinkspace

'Street Art Saved My Life' at C.A.V.E. (8/12/11), by Thinkspace on May 17, 2011 5:57:28 GMT 1, After rocking the 'From The Streets Of Brooklyn' show back in Jan. of 2009 (www.thinkspacegallery.com/2009/01/index.php), we toyed around with the notion of revisiting that show in some capacity... enter Steven and Jaime from BSA.com and talks took off from there. They have taken things to an entirely new level with the direction of this show. VERY honored and excited to be working with them on this show and to be partnering with our friends at C.A.V.E. Gallery in Venice, CA who will be giving a home to the show as well as providing walls around Venice for visiting artists. Much more to be revealed in the months ahead...
PLUS on Sat, Aug. 13th we will be opening the kick-ass new solo show from DABS MYLA at Thinkspace in Culver City. A nice lil' one, two punch I must say. More soon...

We want to thank Juxtapoz for running this series of interviews as they will serve as a great precursor to this very exciting show.
