Film 7p - BEAHIVE
This month's film: Art & Copy (2009)
Explore advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), Art & Copy reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time - people who've profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising's "creative revolution" of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in ART & COPY were responsible for "Just Do It," "I Love NY," "Where's the Beef?," "Got Milk," "Think Different," and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them.
Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce and human emotion.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS 2010

 

Electric Windows Postcard 

ELECTRIC WINDOWS 2010: Three 19th Century Buildings in Beacon, NY, to be Revitalized by Renowned Street Artists - Public Art Installation and Live Music!

The historic river city of Beacon in New York's Hudson Valley will transform into a Mecca of Urban Art when local gallery Open Space unveils the new ELECTRIC WINDOWS 2010. In a one-day live art and music event, 28 of some of the country's most prolific street artists will converge on Main Street to create original, large-scale works that will be permanently installed on the exteriors of vacant 19th-century buildings.

The public installation and launch of the exhibition will be held on Saturday, July 31, at 510 Main Street, beginning at 12pm. ELECTRIC WINDOWS will then be a permanent public art destination, to remain on view year-round. New this year, Beacon's architectural phenomenon, the Roundhouse, and a second unused storefront across Main Street - adjacent to Beacon's historic dummy traffic light - will also be upcycled into large-scale "canvases".

Artists participating in this year's event include: Ron English (Beacon, NY), Logan Hicks (Brooklyn, NY), Big Foot (San Francisco, CA), Chris Stain (Brooklyn, NY), Gaia (Baltimore, MD), Chor Boogie (San Francisco, CA), Michael De Feo (Mamaroneck, NY), Skewville (Brooklyn, NY), BoogieRez (Poughkeepsie, NY), Buxtonia (Burlingon, VT), Chris Yormick (Brooklyn, NY), Depoe (New York, NY), Elbow Toe (Brooklyn, NY), Elia Gurna and Cern (Beacon, NY), Ellis G (Brooklyn, NY), Erik Otto (San Francisco, CA), Eugene Good (Milwaukee, WI), Faust (Brooklyn, NY), Joe Iuarato (Brooklyn, NY), Mr. Kiji (New York, NY), Paper Monster (Belleville, NJ), Peat Wollenger (St. Louis, MO), Rick Price (Beacon, NY), Ryan Bubnis (San Francisco, CA), Ryan Williams (Brooklyn, NY), and "Electric Youth" Aviv and Lotem Tchernichovski (local Beacon high school students).

This year's event, which includes two days of preparation by the artists, a one-day exhibition and street fair, music and dancing by M*POWER ELITE TEAM, live screen printing by Buxtonia, and an Open Space after-party, is expected to draw approximately 5,000 people to Beacon's Main Street corridor.
 
The line-up of live music at ELECTRIC WINDOWS includes: Ben Neill, Aabaraki, Hart Costa, DJ Birds in the Building, DJ Bobby Collins, DJ Krisis, Dr. Ambassador, Gold Monkey, and Scambler Seequill.
 
A new exhibition at Open Space opening July 24, ELECTRIC WALLS, will feature the works of ELECTRIC WINDOWS artists. Producing partners of ELECTRIC WINDOWS are: Daniel Weise and Kalene Rivers of Open Space and thundercut; Nicole Romano Ashey of Burlock; and Jeff Ashey.
