Ironlak presents: SOMETHING FOR MELBOURNE.

The crew at Ironlak were very disappointed when we got the news Clash Of The Titans had been cancelled, and we know that many of you in Melbourne shared this disappointment. So Ironlak is throwing a free BBQ and a live painting here in Melbourne this weekend to give something back to the community who missed out.

Teazer | Oh Really Gallery - Sydney. (Tonight)

TONIGHT in Sydney.

More info: www.teazer.com.au

Teazer’s new solo show explores the last few years of his work on the street
and mixes it up. The Show opens at 6pm til 9pm on thursday the 29th October
at Oh Really Gallery, 55 Enmore road, Newtown.

Tight pieces, Manga characters, and Portraits from photos. Everything is a
remix of something like the idea you had yesterday. Magazines, Music,
Skateart, and Coco Pop boxes, mixed with graffiti lettering, stencils and
street signs. Teazer’s work provokes that nothing is an original thought and
that so much of our lives are consumed with media.

Teazer’s artwork utilises different techniques for board, canvas or found
objects. A lot of freehand, a lot of taping, whatever technique it takes to
finish the artwork. The technique isn’t as important as the look of the
final work, it has to be clean, handmade with a level of finish as if
printed straight out of a computer.

Host: Oh Really
Type: Music/Arts - Exhibit
Network: Global
Start Time: Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 6:00pm
End Time: Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 9:00pm
Location: Oh Really Gallery

CLASH OF THE TITANS - STATEMENT FOLLOW UP by Revok.

Dear friends, foes… and anybody else that possibly gives a shit…

CLASH OF THE TITANS was/is a bit of a “fantasy project” for me. -one of those “what if” conversations you and your friends have sitting around over drinks that sounds amazing… but none of you actually believe will ever happen.

Somehow i got a chance opportunity to make this fantasy reality by a random email i received from a person in Australia well over a year ago… I wont go into unnecessary details but eventually over the course of time that has passed since the talks back and forth turned real and my pessimistic skepticism was gradually defeated when i realized this person was serious and we could really make something happen that we both felt was looong overdue for graffiti.

-FINALLY SOMEBODY BELIEVED IN OUR MOVEMENT ENOUGH TO OFFER THE TYPE OF SUPPORT TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING OF THIS CALIBER POSSIBLE.

To make a event this ambitious happen takes a substantial amount of $$$ -roughly $100,000.

-I guess the primary reason i am writing this follow up statement is to clear the air of the fucking retarded rumors i see/hear floating around out there… This event didn’t rely on sponsors to bring it to fruition, rather the finances of a single proprietor… who will remain anonymous. Ironlak was the events only official sponsor, and for what i asked of them they delivered on point and on time… LIKE THE CHAMPS THEY ARE. Actually, they went above and beyond the call of duty delivering more paint for the event than what was asked for… And a substantial amount of money that was to be the “spoils of the victor”.

-What i am saying is…

***THE REASON FOR THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE EVENT IN NO WAY REFLECTS IRONLAK’S INVOLVEMENT.***

Shit happens, as frustrated as i am about the current situation i cant change it… at least not immediately.

KEEP THE MOVEMENT MOVIN’…

Graffiti - street art: Illegality playground for teenage wrath or indeed a serious art without rules and censorship?

Starting with the big hit initially on young people, now this particular stream of art has created a booming global art explosion, which spread worldwide and is expressed by literally tens of thousands of young artists in the world. It is everywhere: New York, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Sao Paulo, Athens, Thessaloniki and uses a wide range of media and materials, from posters to spray and stencils and stickers.

All these applications are being exhibited through the works of leading Greek and foreign artists of the species. The name "9 lines" refers to nine different sections that are separated by the report based on the graffiti aesthetic, giving the viewer the chance to learn the popular art form in all its expressions. line up: Amok, Apset, Bestbefore, Casroc (Belgium) Designinjah, Empt, Jorz, Inva, Live2, Mr.P, Mr.Wany (Italy), Nade, Nastwo, Rasel, Rino, Risk, Ser, Sive, Wake, Zad Iloe.

CLASH OF THE TITANS Melbourne is cancelled!

Ironlak is disappointed to report that the Clash Of The Titans event in Melbourne has been cancelled.

Originally COTT was to be a sub-event of a massive stadium event in called Mega Rampage. After a series of hurdles the financial backers / promoters of the event had to cancel the larger side of the event but still attempted to proceed with a smaller event, which eventually became a graff only event. Unfortunately the financial issues for the main organisers led to the demise of the event.

All of us at Ironlak would like to apologise for the late cancellation of the event. It was something that we were looking forward to and hope that it can still go ahead at a later date. We must also give a nod to Revok's hustle for doing everything he could to salvage the event when things took a turn for the worst.

For more info please see Revok's statement below.

------

After months of planning, I regretfully have to announce “CLASH OF THE TITANS” is cancelled… or at least for the time being.

due to unforseen financial issues with the events proprieters I’ve decided rather than go forward on a diminished scale and do a half-assed event… To postpone it to a later date.

My sincerest apologies to the community as a whole, Especially those whom have booked travel. I promise to make this event still happen as it is looooong overdue… Except this time back on home turf bigger and better.

-Stay tuned for updates…

-R.

Vigilante Vigilante. The Battle For Expression.

This looks really interesting.

"Two documentary filmmakers set out to expose a prolific anti-graffiti vigilante vandal who spray-paints silver blobs over existing graffiti. Through trial and error, the filmmakers hone their amateur surveillance skills and eventually identify and confront their target. The film then ventures deeper into questions over the legitimacy and motivations of graffiti and anti-graffiti, with perspectives from both sides and examples of three other well-known anti-graffiti vigilantes across the US."
