SCALING
THE WALL
 OPENING: FRIDAY MARCH 18th, 8-11pm
10816 Burbank Blvd. North Hollywood 91601
Cella Gallery Satellites Project, is pleased to
present Scaling the Wall. Conceived and curated by Trina Calderón and Miah
Jeffra, the exhibition features graffiti and graffiti-influenced works by a
diverse group of writers and artists in California.
Scaling the Wall comprises large-scale bombs by
four of Southern California's best female writers, and a white-wall display
featuring six artists straddling the worlds of street and gallery institution,
through various media.
Inspired by the groundbreaking MOCA street art retrospective, Art in
the Streets, opening later this year, Scaling the Wall attempts to act as
complement to Art in the Streets' largely male roster of artists, while also
discussing the complex and evolving relationship between street art and the arts
institution.
Artists featured are
PERL FDS, JERK, OPIA, KUTA ONE HEM BWS, ROOTSYSTM, ogdarthvader, LOVER ONE, C.1,
Proto and Alberto Aviles Molina. The bombs, thrown up on bifurcated wood
panels, will be auctioned on opening night, then divided at the close of the
exhibition. Proceeds will benefit ArtStorm, an aerosol art non-profit
organization that provides self-sustaining world-class Urban Art and LifeSkill
programs for at-risk youth in Los Angeles. Aerosol paint for the bombs is
provided by Montana Store Los Angeles, in Echo Park.
The opening reception will be Friday, March 18,
from 8 - 11 pm. The evening will feature music by DJ Mixter Ed with sound
equipment provided by Looport. Sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon.
