SPREAD THE GOOD WORD FAR AND WIDE

“And Graffiti
commanded man to paint all walls with bright and lively colors, do not fall prey
to the evil of the buff, of dripping brown paint and sandblasted emptiness”
Krylon 2:16-17

“Wherefore, as by one buff sin entered the world, and
so buffing passed among all walls.” Painter’s Touch 5:12

The God Bless Graffiti Coalition (GBGC), a national graffiti advocacy
group (see below description), is looking for artists who use posters, stencils,
stickers and sign installations to send us their work for an exhibition project
entitled “On the 8th Day…” wall.

This project is part of a larger
political art exhibition opening this coming May 2004 at Mass MOCA (the
Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art), one of the leading museums for
contemporary art in North America. The show, called “The Interventionists,” is a
collection of work by artists who “intervene” in public space. href="http://www.massmoca.org">Mass MOCA is no hipster gallery, it sees over
110,000 people come through its
doors in the course of a year!  “The
Interventionists” will be on display for 10 months. The “On the 8th Day…”
project will be installed on a 69’ x 20’ wall which is located in the opening
room for the entire “The Interventionists” exhibition.

This is an
open call and we are asking for MULTIPLE copies of poster, stencil, sticker and
sign work (as well as actual stencils) of any size (we would love to receive
large works). All this material will be used to construct a giant wall of street
art, with the work pasted, stuck and painted directly on the wall.  NOTE:
Because we will be piling the
work of hundreds of artists onto the wall,
some work will only be partially visible on the final product (just like in the
street). If you have any questions please let us know at
graffiti@counterproductiveindustries.com and we will try to help. We look
forward to hearing from you!

The God Bless
Graffiti Coalition was founded in 2000 in Chicago in order to combat growing
national and international anti-graffiti trends. We first published our Give
Graffiti the Thumbs Up brochure to help educate the public about the truth of
graffiti. This brochure has been distributedon the streets via newspaper boxes
in Chicago, Columbus OH, San Francisco and Los Angeles. It has also been
distributed in the magazine Faesthetic#3 and by hand via an underground network
of street artists. The success of our initial brochure has led us to expand our
activities, including subway ads and our latest endeavor, graffiti bible tracts. 
The “On the 8th Day…” wall will be our first museum installation and just
another attempt to spread the gospel of graffiti to wider and wider
audiences.
