8 May : Philosophy of Lettering: Chaz Bojorquez (LA)

Philosophy of Lettering: Chaz Bojorquez

Artist Chaz Bojorquez has been immersed in the graffiti tradition of East Los Angeles Mexican Americans since the 1950s. He has combined graffiti, his formal fine art education, and extensive Asian calligraphy studies, becoming one of the best-known and most original graffiti artists from Los Angeles. Bojorquez will demonstrate how art and culture define his experience as well as his philosophy about the value and execution of letters. This program is presented by the Hammer Student Association (HSA) in collaboration with the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center.

ALL HAMMER PUBLIC PROGRAMS ARE FREE. Seating is on a first come, first served basis. Hammer members receive priority seating, subject to availability. Reservations not accepted, RSVPs not required. Parking is available under the museum for $3 for 3 hours.

Mini-Upload :: BLEK and ABOVE in SF, CA

White Walls had a show opening for the Blek and Above exhibit on Saturday. Got to meet Blek, share an old 1986 French book titled "Pochoir a la Une" which he enjoyed seeing. He was busy the whole week hanging the show so really didn't get out into the streets much. Hopefully that will not be the case the next time he comes back to the City. As for Above, he was not at the show on Sat. when I was there. White Walls director Justin said that he might show up. Would've been nice to meet him after seeing his work begin here in SF around 2002. Above gave away a screen-printed/autographed folder with a screen-printed flyer inside. I saw a guy at the door turn a box over while holding one of the take aways, so I happened to get the last one! Haven't seen any arrows hanging around the City either......

Blek and Above's art wil hang on White Walls until early June.
