Forms and Spaces Italia
We've had an amazing time in Italy with Moneyless and Mark Lyken this week. Here is a selection of photos from the trip with the 4 collaborative murals they painted at sites around Tuscany. Emma Dove has filmed the whole adventure so stay tuned for the release in a month or so.....
Sold Out!
Massive thankyou to everyone that purchased one of the beautiful colab artworks by Mark Lyken and Moneyless and supported the Forms and Spaces Italia project. All the prints are sold. Stay tuned for all the developments over the coming weeks. We leave on Wednesday!
Forms and Spaces Italia and Print Release
We are proud to
present ‘Forms and Spaces Italia’, a collaborative project between Scotland’s
Mark Lyken and Italy’s Moneyless.
This September we
are bringing these two leading artists from the Graffuturism movement together
and travelling with Lyken to Moneyless’ home town of Lucca to create a
collection of site specific installations over a period of seven days.
Award-winning film-maker Emma Dove will join the team to document the project.
Sure you’ll
remember that last year Forms and Spaces began when Moneyless visited Scotland
to work with Lyken in the creation of a series of temporary installations that
re-valued abandoned spaces around Glasgow. The works were intricate and vibrant, a beguiling mix of
flat and 3D mark-making and interwoven styles.
Earlier this
year, the pair were invited by The Legacy List to participate in the acclaimed
Canals Project in London where they created a beautiful large scale mural.
To mark the occasion Moneyless and Lyken have created a
very special limited edition collaborative artwork. Firstly Lyken has hand
painted 12 individual A2 pieces on 250gsm
Somerset Satin paper that were then screen printed in two colours with Moneyless' intricate circular designs by the
talented Ben Ashton.
Each work is unique, signed and editioned. They are £100 each.
Sales will raise vital project funds and all proceeds will
go towards funding Forms and Spaces Italia. You’ll even get your name credited
in the final film as a supporter of the project.
The print will be released at 17:00 on Fri 20th Sep 2013 on our online shop.
Moneyless- http://www.moneyless.it
Moneyless lives and works in Lucca, Italy, producing work
for exhibitions and creating murals and installations for projects and
festivals worldwide. His work is born from traditional graffiti, but as his
work evolved, he discarded letters, became obsessed with the simplicity and
interactions of geometric shapes, his lines becoming so fine he switched from
cans and rollers to brushes and home made etching tools to create ever more
elaborate abstract works.
The works depict living matter reduced to its most basic
level and their interactions and repitions.
In 2013 alone Moneyless has participated in exhibitions and
projects in Berlin, Paris, LA, Portland and London. He is opening a solo show
at 999 Contemporary Gallery in Rome this month.
Mark Lyken- http://lykenlove.com/
Working across diverse disciplines, Lyken creates
paintings, murals, sculptures, installations, sound and musical works.
Influenced by cellular division and decay, his paintings
toy with time and scale, worlds within worlds, chemical universes revealed at a
microscopic level.
Lyken regularly collaborates with artists and specialists
from different research fields. This year he has been focusing on "Mirror
Lands", a major collaborative film and exhibition for the Imagining
Natural Scotland project supported by Creative Scotland.
Emma Dove- http://emmadovefilm.com/
Emma Dove is a
freelance filmmaker, camera operator and editor. She is particularly
interested in the narratives of life that go unnoticed in the general day to
day, revealing the stories behind the seemingly banal. Emma is fascinated
by place, identity, communication, expression, and the interplay between nature
and culture.
Originally from
the Black Isle, she studied Film & Media at the University of Stirling. Her
graduation film, On Another Note, won Best Factual Programme at the Royal
Television Society Scotland Student Awards and is currently showing at short
film festivals and screenings internationally.
