Bit of blurb about David Ellis…

David Ellis is an artist born into a family immersed in music. In his youth Ellis had little patience with piano lessons or reading sheet music. Instead he absorbed everything on The Super Mix, a Saturday night radio program broadcast from the nearby Fort Bragg military base. Each week a new cassette tape of emerging New York hip-hop found its way into the life of a child growing up in a log house in North Carolina. By the time Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 released The Message, Ellis was writing rhymes and banging out beats with his friends on the desks at school. Things have since become much louder.

Ellis’ work continues to interpret music and sound. His paintings are often recorded in a form of digital time-lapse animation Ellis calls motion painting. Like jazz, these works provide Ellis with an opportunity to combine ideas with collaborators or work solo within a form that promotes improvisation and spontaneity. For a recent commission the artist painted a truck from sunup to sundown over five consecutive days. Ellis often stages events when exhibiting his motion paintings, inviting musicians, performers, and sound artists to interpret the work live. His motion painting, Paint on Trucks in a World in Need of Love was recently exhibited at MoMA.

Ellis’ paintings are frequently improvised. He works directly on the walls of spaces that remain open to the public during installation and shares the making of the work with viewers. The experience is much like a band playing in front of a passing audience.

Ellis further explores sound with kinetic installations that produce analogue sequences in rhythm.

Come on, you know you want one. simply email the answer to james@world-graffiti.com and I’ll be picking 3 people out at random. Closing date is 14th November so get a move on!

ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT
AVAILABLE ON DVD & BLU RAY™ November 10, 2009
SYNOPSIS:
In SPREAD, Nikki (Ashton Kutcher) isn’t a gigolo. He’s a sexual grifter, a fun-loving, freeloading hipster who understands his greatest assets are his looks and sexual prowess, which he uses to charm his way into the hearts of the city’s richest women and enjoy their lifestyle. Nikki gets a free place to live, fantastic gifts, A-list access, and plenty of sex. The women get to feel young, beautiful, and utterly fulfilled in the bedroom.

It’s a mutually beneficial set-up… That is, until Nikki is forced to choose between love and money, and decide whether he can live on his own once and for all in the hopes of finding something real.

In commemoration of the Berlin Wall coming down on Nov 9 1989 we thought we’d share this story about John Fekner.

In 1986, Fekner spent time in Berlin as part of an invitation group exhibition featuring collaborations by New York and German artists. He visited East Germany entering through Checkpoint Charlie; the visit left a strong impression on Fekner, and subsequently, the work he created while in Berlin.

He created three separate wall installations: a spray-painted fragmented wall that appears to be breaking apart indoors at NGBK; The Beton Puzzle (Concrete Puzzle) painted directly on the Berlin Wall; and, among multiple sites within the city, Fekner collaborated with Peter Mönnig on Wall-Hall-A, an outdoor installation at Potsdamer Platz near the Berlin Wall. The Wall-Hall-A project can be seen in Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin), a 1987 film by Wim Wenders.
