Goldie earned his name as a graffiti artist in the West Midlands in the early eighties. His artwork around Birmingham and Wolverhampton was featured heavily in Afrikaa Bambaataa’s feature film documentary Bombing (which was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK).

He took part in the largest ever British graffiti art battle alongside Bristol artist 3D who later went on to form Massive Attack. He is also featured in the book Spraycan Art by Henry Chalfant & James Prigoff.

Further to being one of the UK’s earliest and most important Graffiti writers Goldie has had great success as a Drum and Bass DJ, producer and actor. 1994 saw him setting up his own record label, Metalheadz. The label was a huge success releasing some of the most important tunes of that era and remains hugely successful and respected to this day.

Goldie’s produced artistic works with 3D (Massive Attack) and Sarah Gregory. He has also commissioned and provided pieces to Neneh Cherry, Noel Gallagher, Bjork, James Lavelle, Nellee Hooper to name a few, depicting his prolific work.

Justice by Uniting in Creative Energy (J.U.i.C.E.), a project of Community Partners, is a non-profit weekly hip hop arts program that seeks to develop youth leadership and technical skills, creative expression and self-confidence through the artistic elements of hip hop which include breakdancing, urban art, deejaying, emceeing/spoken word and music recording.

They teach visual arts workshops, paint large-scale and legal graffiti murals in the community, record and produce music, emcee, bboy/bgirl on a large hardwood floor to live DJs. They create unique opportunities for underserved young artists to showcase their work, network with peers and professionals and engage with their communities in a positive manner through the arts. The program is free for all age groups.

THE VISION

The City of Los Angeles Planning Department has proposed a new sign ordinance. This ordinance is meant to address the unwanted proliferations of signs in the City of Los Angeles, but it has dramatic effects on murals. The proposed ordinance severely limits the size, scope and placement of murals of any kind. There is currently amoratorium against any signs or murals being erected on private property in the City of Los Angeles. In fact, murals on private property in the City of LA have been banned since June of 2007.

The Planning Department believes murals have actually been outlawed since the year 2002. If this proposal passes as presented, it will severely limit any type of mural work on private property for many years to come.
ICU Art and Crewest Gallery are hosting an informal Artist Discussion to talk about the revised proposal shortly after it comes out, but before the next public hearing.

Artists and concerned community members are invited to come to this discussion and contribute ideas and to help formulate a plan for the muralist community.

When: Wednesday, February 11, 7-9pm
Where: Crewest Gallery [110 Winston Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013]
Hosts: Stash Maleski (ICU Art), Alex Poli (Crewest)
Phone: (213) 627-8272

Size Matters

Size Matters (closeup)

Born in Lueneburg was soon drawn to the nearby metropolis of Hamburg (Germany) by its tentacles deeply enrooted within the subculture scene. In 1989 he started his career as a free artist and a spray can virtuoso. Only one year later he was commissioned his first remittance work and in 1992 the change of aliases so important for a graffiti artist took place. The latter of course playing a major role within modern street calligraphy.

International art- as well as lecturing work soon led him amongst the midst of trans-national artist groups such as GBF, SUK, FBI and FX. Within those brood cells of new styles and techniques. DAIM developed a diversity of skills which enabled him to go beyond his roots. Concrete walls were more and more replaced by canvases while spray cans from a hip hop shop were now often amended by mouse clicks in Photoshop. Firstly, two dimensional pictures evolved into bafflingly three dimensional graphics with seemingly unlimited depths and perspective only to finally become sculptures leaving the confinement of flat surfaces entirely.
