Well, let me say THANKS to everyone who has and is supporting those Visual artists, who are pushing the New contemporary movement! WE couldn't do it without you all!
"BEYONDER" was hung on last Wednesday and opened last Thursday, and let me to the first to say easy it was not! Here's the rundown, I borrowed my brother from another Mother's van as I always do, unexpectedly to died on me early Wednesday on the Freeway with my artwork for the exhibition on it. The dilemma was these pieces are huge, so transport is very limited. The thing is positive wordsound and attitude are most needed when you're encountering such obstacles. I applied it and the Universe delivered exactly what I ask for. Joe Jay or JJ, a musician and friend of mine came through right on time with his truck and later his covered trailer to haul the artwork to S.C.State, which is located almost an hour away in a town called Orangeburg. He gave me some life knowledge on the ride there. Propers to JJ for being an extraordinary human being!
We made it to S.C.State on time and met up with the curator of the gallery, Michael Cassidy. Michael is a hella cool dude, he allowed me to spray paint the walls of the gallery along with deciding the flow and placement of all the pieces.I just want people to know this is a rarity, indeed! It took us a while to get started though, JJ and The League/Mighty gesture crew, who are filming the "BEYONDER" mini documentary were given a tour of S.C State's museum. This museum will soon rival The Smithsonian when it comes to African art! Once,the film and shots were taken, everyone left. Michael and I got busy hanging the artwork, or shoul I say I mostly assisted as Michael did a majority of the work, lol! We got out of the gallery late, but we finished all the hanging. I LOVE creating, but hanging has never been my favorite part of the process. As a matter of fact I detest it with every fiber of my being, lol!!! No, seriously, I'm for real, lol!
Tuesday, MIDIMarc and myself will be invading the University's common area to bring that Rugged rawness of live beat making and painting as a precursor for the exhibition. This will catch them off guard, no doubt!
On this Thursday at 6pm to 8 pm "BEYONDER" will receive an opening reception guaranteed to change the way art is viewed by all who attend! I say this because "BEYONDER" is an Arts experience equipped with my Visual art, Grayson Goodman's Creative writings, The League/Mighty gesture's Mini documentary and the Music of MIDIMarc, Jah Freedom, Sunday Morning and Supah Mario. Yeah, that's right Arts experience! We want to demonstrate there is no separation of Art. It's our hope this will be overstood, if you're in the area come out and show is some love!
Now, I have mentioned I have some commissions in the works, one of them is with Cirque du Soleil! Yeah, that's right your eyes aren't deceiving you. I currently working on some rough drafts for them to view for finalization of a Street art project in Columbia for them as advertisement of their Qudiam show, which is traveling around the country right now!!!! Things just keep better as the year is starting up, as my family Infamous JeanClaude says"Stay Champion"!!!
