SAN FRANCISCO, CA – 1AM is pleased to present, “A Major Minority”, opening on March 14th, from 6:30 – 9:30 PM. Curated by San Francisco-based artist Poesia, “A Major Minority” is a survey of Othercontemporary Urban Artists from over 18 countries consisting of over a 100 artists. Expect to see an international sampling of art works that reveal the overall character of Urban Art and its relationship to the public as well as the contemporary art world.

According to Poesia, urban art has become an OtherContemporary art movement outside of the contemporary and critical art world. By taking a large sampling of the world’s most prevalent urban artists, Poesia aims to reveal the true character of this art form as being born outside of theory and based on its interactions with the public as well as its urban landscape. “A Major Minority” is an attempt to illustrate the current progression of this art form as “traditional graffiti merges with street art and becomes what the public has coined Urban Art.”

Come check out works by world renowned artists 108, 2501, O.Two, ABCDEF, Alex Kuznetsov, Alex One, Alexander Becherer, Alexey Luka, Amandalynn, Antistatik, Arnaud TRBDSGN Liard, Askew, Basik, Bezt, Blaqk, Blo, Boe, Bom.k, Borondo, Cain Caser, Christopher Derek Bruno, Clams Rockefeller, Col, Collin Van Der Sluijs, Corn79, Dame, Dana Woulfe, Deams, Debens, Defer, Dem189, Demsky, Dime, Djae, Does, Drew Tyndell, Drew Young, Duncan Passmore, EKG, Estria, Etnik, Evgeniy Dikson, Faust, Felipe Pantone, Franco Jaz Fasoli, Gilbert1, Graphic Surgery, Hellbent, INO, Jay Paavonpera, Jaw, Jerry Inscoe, Jurne, Kan, Karlos Carcamo, Katre, Kema, Ken Davis, Kidghe, Kwest, Legz, LX One, Mac1, Mags, Martina Merlini, Matt W.

Debens crea su serie de collages Handworks a partir del libro “Métiers oubliés de Paris” (“Oficios olvidados de París”) que ilustra diferentes oficios que se desarrollaban a principios del siglo XX en dicha ciudad. Debens rescata esas imágenes del pasado, las transforma y las reinventa. En todas se observa un minucioso trabajo de composición, de delicadas superposiciones, de geometrías imposibles que dan como resultado unas nuevas representaciones de la realidad.

Handworks se compone de 16 collages que descubren a los mismos personajes dentro de nuevos contextos, revirtiendo su sacrificio, soledad y pobreza con pinceladas de humor, ironía y optimismo. A partir de aquí, Debens nos invita a la siguiente reflexión: “¿Qué similitudes hay entre aquél tiempo pasado y nuestro contexto actual?”.

En Handworks también se exhibirán obras pictóricas del artista elaboradas durante 2013, entre ellas obras inéditas realizadas para «Debens Remix sessions» junto Alberto de Blobs, Lolo & Sosaku, Mina Hamada y Pau MF.
