FIFTY24SF Gallery is pleased to announce Letters to the Editor, a group show featuring the work of Cum*, Eine, Brent McHugh, Ryan Jacob Smith, and Mario Wagner. This show brings together artists whose work varies in style and theme to express their own unique narrative, their own “letter to the editor”. Each of the five artists selected utilizes elements specific to the street culture genre as a means to convey their point of view. From the most fundamental component – the letter – to the most incidental imagery, this body of work opens up a dialogue between artist and audience and portrays the panorama of opinion, interpretation and commentary inherent to contemporary urban art today.
Cum* is a collective of three artists based in Ghent, Belgium who began working together in 2001. Utilizing strong symbols and icons, such as the pin-up girl stencil, their work deals with a multitude of themes that center around sexuality: pornography, voyeurism, and vulgarity, to name a few. Their craft employs the use of silkscreen, pencil, acrylic and spray paint to accomplish their pieces. They have shown throughout the US and extensively in Belgium with shows at Maes & Matthys and the Stedelijk Museum. They have also been featured in Happy Camper, Trigger, and NY Arts magazines.

More bathroom graffiti
Speaking of bathroom graffiti…
A little googling brought me across this interesting interactive website:
Everyone around the world is familiar with probably the most common place to leave your mark. Maybe leaving graff here is like a dog marking his territory in piss, maybe not. Give the site a visit to see art made while sitting on the pot, and contribute some of your own photos taken in the crapper.

This really is a gem, ain’t it!?! thanks for putting it up there G4!!!
