Crack & Shine

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Crack & Shine, 212 pages, 26.4 x 21.2 x 2.2 cm.
Available at We are related: Dkk 300,-

“Graffiti is perpetually and increasingly a controversial subject dividing opinion and rousing powerful debate, yet almost nothing is known about the true motivations and inspirations of the artists themselves. Crack & Shine offers exclusive insight into this thriving contemporary sub-culture, gaining access to the personal stories of some of the most secretive, enigmatic and creative individuals to lurk in London’s shadows.

Featuring forty of the most exciting and prolific graffiti artists to have lived and painted in London, Crack & Shine is the only London graffiti book ever to be published. Also presenting the work of London-based photographer Will Robson-Scott, Crack & Shine includes a series of over 50 beautifully-composed photographs, created exclusively for the book; giving articulate and vivid insight into the awkward moments of waiting, the apprehension of hiding and the calm and stillness that comes with seeing the world from an altered perspective.”

GHOST RIS exhibition @ We are related

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

We are related are thrilled to present the graffiti legend Ghost, NYC and his first exhibition in Denmark.

Ghost was born in the Bronx New York in the mid 60’s. In the graffiti world he is known and infamous for his humorous and ground breaking paintings as well as the iconic “GH” throw up on and around the NYC subway system.

His colorful and satirical drawings and paintings are often celebrating underground comics and poster artists such as Rick Griffin, but with added elements of an LSD nightmare.

The opening is Friday May 7 from 19-22 where original art works and silkscreen prints are available for sale.
There will be music from the psychedelic 70’s on the turntables and cheap drinks in the bar.

Exhibition date: Friday May 7 to Saturday June 19, 2010.

We are related er meget glade for at kunne præsentere graffitilegenden Ghost fra New York i hans første udstilling i Danmark.

Ghost er født i Bronx, New York i midten af 1960´erne.
I graffitimiljøet er han kendt og berygtet for sine humoristiske og grænsebrydende malerier og sit ikoniske “GH” throwup på og omkring New Yorks subway.

Hans farverige og satiriske tegninger og malerier hylder ofte undergrundstegneserier og plakatkunstnere som Rick Griffin, og er tilført elementer, der kunne stamme fra et lsd-påvirket mareridt.

Vi holder fernisering fredag den 7. maj fra kl. 19 til 22 hvor der vil være mulighed for at købe originale værker og silketryk.
Der vil være musik fra de psykedeliske 70´ere på pladespilleren, samt billige drikkevarer.

Udstillingsdato: Fredag 7. maj til lørdag 19 juni 2010.
