Unit) is an exhibition at Lyons Wier Gallery, curated by Derrick
B. Harden, featuring new work by New York visual artists Mint&Serf.
The exhibition pays homage to the longest running television program that
defines New York City. Mint&Serf SGU is a multi-disciplinary
exhibition incorporating painting, photography and video that is an
interpretation of the artists' personal encounters with the law in New York City
and within their
community.
Mint&Serf SGU (Special Graffiti
Unit) cleverly captures Mint&Serf and company in their habitat by placing
them in their own adapted version of Law&Order. By appropriating this iconic
television drama, Mint&Serf: SGU turns photographed moments of vandalism,
street-art and nightlife into a series of silk-screened vignettes. In
Mint&Serf: SGU, the two artists portray themselves as part of the
“Special Graffiti Unit,” an elite graffiti
squad.
Most recently, Mint&Serf created and
curated original artwork for the Ace
Hotel in New York City. However, for the past ten years, Mint&Serf
have been collaboratively producing artwork generating a vast range of
large-scale murals, paintings, photographs, sculpture and street art throughout
New York City and around the world. In 2005, as an extension to their art, they
launched The Canal Chapter, a gallery platform for emerging artists, designers
and musicians. In 2008, after the success of The Canal Chapter, they launched
The Stanton Chapter, a street level art space in Lower East Side neighborhood of
New York City. Mint&Serf have exhibited throughout the United States and
abroad. They have created commissioned work for the Ace
Hotel, Nike, Marc Jacobs, Red Bull, Ogilvy&Mather, Adidas, Yahoo, Boost
Mobile, PowerHouse Books among other
clients.
