The Underbelly Project

Four stories beneth the streets of New York City there has been an ongoing curation of over a hundred artists contubiting to a gallery that you will most likely never see. Each artist was given the limitation of one night to create their peice. The project has been organized by artists Workhorse and Pac in an area that was intended to be a subway station. The location of the project  is a secret known only to Pac, Workhorse and any of the artists that could remember the path there. See some photos below of the Underbelly Project.

MadC 700 Wall

MadC has completed her 700 Wall project, and it is epic! I've included photos, but check out the video to get a better idea of the scale of the project.

700 Wall, 2010

Here we are, the wall is done! Even though I decided to paint a little further still - I just finished it before the snow set in. The wall was originally planned to end at the set of windows since those are difficult to involve and the surface of the wall became pretty bad from thereon too. However, I decided to extend my theme in places and take the challenge to paint until the very end of the wall. Now it is about 680m2 of wall space. Finally, the picture is complete and I hope the story sums up. My Stylemachine-idea was based on the life of a dedicated graffiti writer. It’s a wall for all of us who paint 10+ years and who put all their energy and heart into it.

That’s how I translated the idea:
Scene one - the laboratory - we sketch, we try, we are inspired, no matter under which circumstances, lack of time or interruption.

Scene two & three - the machine and harbour - we select sketches and produce our ideas, try techniques, style- and colour-variations and get them out into the world.

Scene four - the difficult journey - a lot of our work gets destroyed f.e. by the buff, toys or by the nature, so we have to keep on doing our thing no matter what.

Scene five - the city - you keep on sending your name into the world, so at the end of the day some of your pieces reach their destination, where they belong and where they are seen.

And for those out there who like numbers a lot: some days I went up and down the ladder more than 500 times; fell off the ladder 4 times; counted in days I painted more than 4 months every day at least 10 hours; I used 1489 cans; 158 different colours; 600+ caps; 3 different kind of caps, 100 liters primer; 140 liters exterior paint; painted at temperatures from +2C° to +38C° in sunshine, rain, storm, day and night; painted my biggest and smallest piece so far and overall painted my name far more than 100 times on this wall. I’m curious if anyone will guess or find out how many there actually are. I made only one exception from solely painting MadC pieces on this wall. Special place in my heart - special place on my wall.

And last but not least - a massive thanks to everyone who supported me throughout the year, Molotow above all of course.
