We sure are thrilled for the opening of “Wreck The Walls,” which opens at Subliminal Projects this Saturday December 11th. Most notably because a number of the 30 participating artists have been featuring on our pages! Along with Curtis Kulig, Erik Foss, Greg Lamarche and Martha Cooper, the show also features contributors to our publication like Skullphone! The rest of the show isn’t too shabby either with Alan Shaffer, Alejandro Gehry, Andy Moses, Bertil Petersson, Billy Al Bengston, Blek Le Rat, David Ellis, David Yow, Ed Moses, Ellwood T. Risk, Eric Schwartz, Eric White, Evan Hecox, Jason Alper, John Van Hamersveld, Kelly Berg, Laddie John Dill, Larry Bell, Monica Canilao, Retna, Robbie Conal, Ryan McGinness, Ryan Travis Christian, Swoon, Tim Biskup, and Vanessa Prager.

Here’s more info on the show:
Rebellious pioneers of their artistic genres, who came from a background where there are few rules and anything is possible, have helped pave the way for a younger generation of artists who are influenced by their prevailing subculture.  From gallery to street art, this show expresses each artist’s divergence and individuality, offering a visual cornucopia of painting, photography, mixed media, works on paper, digital prints, sculpture, graphic design, and illustration.

This show seeks to allow the viewer a window into the myriad worlds of a group of artists whose careers span over two cultural generations, and whose individual visions create a disjointed mosaic.  Their works recall the vastly differing self-perceptions cultivated in a patchwork art world constantly seeking to define and redefine itself.  Wreck the Walls embraces the multiple identities of the artistic practice, and rather than seeking to congeal the complex layers of artistic vision that make up the culture, the show celebrates distinct perceptions by juxtaposing artists, whether established or emerging, who reject uniformity in a culture that defies singular classifications.
