[Muramasa]

I think this is at the gallery a few blocks from the Buzz office, looks pretty cool. I'll have to stop by sometime this week and check it out.

:ripped:

it's on 33rd & M, i'm not sure what the duration of the show is but it's open until 8PM :D

It's at the WPA/C gallery (the old Staples on M Street in Georgetown - 3307 M Street, NW, Washington, DC 20007, www.wpaconline.com). The show is being curated by our own Kelly Towles and I say "our own" because the guy has roots in the local dnb scene. some of you might remember Towles' one man show about a year ago of his own graffiti-inspired work (he does tags around the area as well, one of his signature pieces is near the black cat) that was abosolutely brilliant.

Here's some info on it up at DC Art News, which is a local blog I can readily recommend to anyone who wants to get into the local art scene, which is pretty fabu.

she gives grey boxes for rep

*points and laughs at the second class citizen*

my advice if you're going to this gallery is call ahead

i tried to go see an exhibit of annie lebowitz photos in georgetown a few weeks back and the door was locked and the place was dark during hours they were posted as being open

i'm pretty sure this was the place

[Funshine]

I can still edit your posts - how's that for second class? :wink:

i like the work, but who is the artist?

I'm a grafitti junkie, I'm usually on top of these things, when they come to town....

This looks awesome thanks for posting it. I'm gonna try to go this weekend if possible. I don't see anything about tickets? Is there a charge to go to this or anything?

[Funshine]

When are you planning on going? If its Sunday then Lucas and I can meet up somewhere if you'd like to grab a drink as well :yes:

[housecat]

I'm not sure yet... it's a friend's bday this weekend so we have to work around drunken debauchary and gauranteed hangovers on Saturday. I'll get a hold of you if we end up going on Sunday tho.

[sassypance]

no charge, you do sign over your email addy when you walk in but that's it. and it's 33rd & M not 30th & M.

A little late seeing this thread, but this was a show currated by Kelly Towles, who as Legba pointed out, has roots in the scene. Been friends with him nearly 10 years now, and he's getting a lot of exposure locally.

i like the work, but who is the artist?

I'm a grafitti junkie, I'm usually on top of these things, when they come to town....

The artists in the show were: Bask, Eon, Faile, Fi5e, Mister Never, Nick Z and Tes One.

Kelly is in another show currently, called Itsy Bitsy Bollocks:

He's working on his next solo show too, I think it is opening in July.

faile's were the pop art comic book women... definitely my favorite pieces. writing a paper on it for my final later today.
