I think therefore graffiti…

The Guild Art Gallery, invited artists from across the country to perhaps, locate those thoughts that visit the spirit of Graffiti. The domains of exclusion, of a constructed ‘mainstream’, the domain of anti aesthetic, the domain of fast, transient, street culture, of politics of private property, of art and its objectification, of homelessness, art and site specificity, the spoken and the visual, the spontaneous expression, the strengths of the vulnerable, reactionary visual activism on the urban streets, mobility of the ‘common man’, deprivation, isolation, commercialisation are some of the tropes that seemed to be opened through this project.

The artists participating in this initiative include Apnavi Thacker, Atul Dodiya, Baiju Parthan, Balaji Ponna, Bose Krishnamachari, Gigi Scaria, G. R. Iranna, Justin Ponmany, Kiran Subbaiah, K. P. Reji, Mithu Sen, Prajakta Potnis, Rakhi Peswani, Sathyanand Mohan,  Sumedh Rajendran, T. V. Santhosh, Vishal Dar, Ved Gupta and Vivek Vilasini. During the exhibition public participation will be invited for an ongoing graffiti on the wall of the gallery and same will be uploaded on our site every few days thus disseminating this participation worldwide.

BIASA Art Space, Jalan Raya Seminyak 34, Kuta, Bali, Indonesia
Until 15 September 2010

Angelo has always placed humanity and the territory at the centre of his artistic research, stressing the difficult relations of belonging and identity, understood not simply in the socio-cultural sense but also in a biological sense. His portraits convey a sense of dramatic irony, lost in a blinding whiteness or in a dark sea of crude oil, at once liquid and solid, conceptually unstable and temporary, dependent on their chemical sense of biological precariousness. They reveal the constant efforts made to seek out an identity and a place in which to belong, a constant freezing and unfreezing of hidden or denied existences and of an ideal well-being. Bellobono gives form and consistency to a sampler of emotions experienced by all human beings; in his most recent works, which also probe the drive to immigrate, this investigation once again coiled painting with performance and video art.
