IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
H3-HIP HOP HIEROGLYPHICS
Curated by SEN ONE UZN (Brooklyn, NY) in conjunction with Universal Zulu Nation

Opening Reception & Exhibition
SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 2010
6:30pm-until

LOCATION: MAYSLES INSTITUTE CINEMA
343 LENOX AVENUE (near West 127th Street)
NEW YORK, NY 10027

Hip Hop Hieroglyphics is the name that we use to describe the art movement widely known as “Graffiti”.

This concept comes from the idea that the artists of today are carrying on the tradition of our ancient relatives. From the caves of the Caribbean to Europe and Africa; humans have expressed themselves in the same way. By leaving their mark, or as these artists say: “GETTIN’ UP”.

With that in mind we want to engage the public and allow them to hear the uncensored reality of the beginnings of this worldwide movement. Hip Hop Hieroglyphics will be a chance to interact with pioneering scribes of Hip Hop Culture.

Event begins at 6:30 pm with a screening of the classic film “STYLE WARS” directed by the late Tony Silver followed by a panel discussion with Author/Photographer/Co-producer Henry Chalfant and Legendary Writers JAMES TOP and LAVA 1and2. This event will explore the early documentation and personal involvement in the formation of the worldwide art movement known as “graffiti”.

After the screening and panel discussion there will be an exhibition featuring artwork of JAMES TOP and LAVA 1and2 with music selection provided by legendary DJ’s –LORD YODA X (ZULU NATION/CRASH CREW), DJ EZ ROCK (ROB BASE & DJ EZ ROCK) and DJ UNCLE CESS (ZULU NATION).

Aloha From Hawaii,
Giant Murals, are a Fantasy Of Mine.....I have 60 Images created in a Large format Style, 4ft. X 3ft. and a few 5' X 6' and hundreds of Large Images in storage that I should sew together making the Largest "Oil" Composition Ever.
I Live Below The National Poverty level and get most of my material from my recycling efforts through advertisment in our local 808 Classifieds. I never get Large Commissions and the Largest was $8,000 for a Portrait in 1998 when I was able to see clearly. In a few weeks I will have lens replacement eye surgery and after a month I was told I will have my eyes back and be able to see perfectly. At That time if their are any Patrons, I am available. I cannot travel outside the U.S. until I repay $79,000 to the Government for a debt. They withheld my Passport last time I went to renew it. I cannot Bankrupt this Court Order and remain a Hostage to it after a Lifetime of Travel into 54 Countries. A Large Mural would serve the purpose to Set Me Free, as well as give me the Opportunity To Have That Large Of An Expression......NAMASTAY.

I am in the midst of a year-long endeavor to immerse myself in art as much as I can (while still maintaining my day job).

hai, i do several things, know i am bussy with ceramic,clay and glaze, i made 2 buste objects and you can only see this one. Today I experiment with chamotte clay and a figure without expression from his face but from his body, bodylanguage is the theme for my new ceramic figures, but i have a question about this piece, it is 140 cm bij 90 and these are only tree
branches, it is in my map for one year and i want to do something with this, can you help me, with tips, trucs etc. I can not only work with clay, so I have to do several things, multitasking , paint and textile feltz etc , I love most of all the trip to the end of my work, but sometimes it never ends hahaha. A never ending story. So I want to ask you what I can do with this piece, it is my handwriting when I paint with acryl, call it expressionistic, like my Bottles. The background is sunflower yellow and it have many branches overall within between many open field of yellow. I also make collages from my paintings when i have no inspiration, so what would you do with a field ofv yellow background and only great fields between the branches. these are together, but on the size 140 by 90 cm,is at one right sight a verygreat yellow field.
Will you help me ...... I want tips trucs etc. greetz Els
