Eventually you’re going to get there. It might take a
day, it might take a lifetime, but through that persistence, and
through that determination and drive, I think there’s definitely a lot
of beauty in that. And a lot of power. That’s what I want to tap into.

-Above

Often found hanging from power lines or melding with urban
architecture, Above’s site specific stencils, paintings, and
installations push past the traditional expectations of graffiti. The
evolution of his name from text to a symbol inspired him to explore
less conventional media, leading to his trademark wooden mobiles.
Whether subtle or massive, his pieces retain an innate sense of beauty
through their dialogue with the surrounding environment. Refusing to
show his work in galleries, Above has instead “toured” through Europe
and North and South America to get his work up. Watch the interview
from “The Run Up,” available for the first time to the public for free
on Walrus TV, below…

THE BIG PAYBACK, Juxtapoz Magazine’s 15th Anniversary Art Auction is now live and you can bid on pieces online at CharityBuzz.com.

On November 14th, from 7 PM to 11 PM, all of the pieces that are a
part of the auction will be on display at the Factory Place Arts
Complex. To attend this must see show with works from over 140 artists
including Matthew Barney, Swoon and WK Interact, please RSVP to RSVP@SASTUDIOSGLOBAL.COM.

Proceeds from “The Big Payback” auction will support the goal of
purchasing five homes and employing local Detroit contractors,
electricians, plumbers, and carpenters to perform the renovations.
Selected artists will also be invited to participate in the remodeling.

The event aims to raise the consciousness of both the problems of
people disenfranchised by the nation’s economic crisis, as well as
encourage a sense of community in the art world and inspire people to
effect positive social change in their own communities.
