Disobey : Tarnish & Gold Gallery

blainegarrett — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:53:57 +0000

T&G is moved into their new space in NE MPLS and Dim Media is invading with their latest series – “DISOBEY”.

About the show:
“DISOBEY” is Dim Media’s homage to and critique of the legacy of street art and graffiti. One part experiment, another part parody, “DISOBEY” explores the movement that the art world is still reluctant to accept as “high art”. The artwork, created from 100% up-cycled materials includes salvaged wallpaper, decaying fencing, and bricks from a demolished building. Dim Media explores new territory using the aesthetics of up-cycled materials and a pantheon of street art styles.

Tarnish&Gold Gallery
349 13th AVE NE; MPLS (Between Rogue Buddha and Ritz Theater) – use side entrance.

Opening Night – Friday Dec 2nd 7:00 – 11
* Featuring the music stylings of Ian Lehman

Free All Over the Walls Screener Premier @ MSPIFF – April 18th

blainegarrett — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 00:51:56 +0000

The documentary “All Over the Walls”, which includes Dim Media, is showcasing at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film festival. The free showing is a “in progress” screening, the first for the festival. It is at the historic St. Anthony Main Theater at 6:30 PM. Tickets ARE free, but you must pick them up at the theater box office the day of the show – first come first serve.

From the MPR Article – Pumping up the Minnesota in MSPIFF:

“This year we created for the first time ever a ‘work in progress screening,’” Gilbert says. “That film is called ‘All over the Walls.’ Basically it’s a documentary that follows a mixed media artist and body painter named Jacob as he pursues his dream of building an art gallery.” It will be a free screening where people can come and help the film makers by giving them feedback about their rough cut. “It kind of opens up the process to people who don’t normally get to see that.”

The doc features Jacob Alexander, Grandmother Grant, Jobot, Oni Sakti, Dim Media, Laura Faulk, Albert Elmore, and more. More info on the doc itself soon.
