#KWayCulture

Matt Feigin, President of K-Way North America and local Montrealer, took an interest in contemporary street art about two years ago when he first saw the work of Stikki Peaches. He contacted us at Station 16 to buy a piece, and his interest in contemporary street art has only grown since. He has become a small collector. He now owns pieces by Whatisadam, as well as a series by Peter Andrew & Derek Blais, purchased while at The Scope Art Fair in NYC.  Matt actually sponsored the renowned Instagram street art curators Instagrafite to join us in New York to cover Scope and the week in NYC. That visit led to a series of devoted Instagram posts called the K-Way Culture walk. Check them out on Instagram with #KWayCulture.

FLIP THE SWITCH: Part II of "What is an Artist?"

 

 

 

 

I am reminded of the time I went to the inauguration of Omen’s mural All it Takes is a Little Heart in Ville St-Laurent, in the fall of 2014. He addressed the press and city officials with a smile, “Remember when you used to call the cops on me? Now you pay me to paint walls.” This is Omen. He is larger than life. 

After reading Sarah Thornton’s 33 Artists in 3 Acts dissection of the question What is an artist?, I sought answers from the artists represented by Station 16 Gallery. Omen was one of the first artists to whom I reached out. He is in Panama painting at the moment and posted his definition through social media: “Artists are people who take you through the world and lend you their eyes. It is more a burden than a technique. The artist has to be both egotistical and sensitive enough to want to convey this vision to the rest of the world.” These words were greeted with much enthusiasm, as is most of what Omen publishes. Fans and friends added comments: “The artist must make things in order to achieve this since what they see is often not yet named or explained in words.” “What we do as artists is a service to humanity,” chimed in another.

Station 16 Gallery is excited to sponsor Current, a group exhibition of street artist at The Arsenal. While the contemporary art gallery has regular exhibitions, this is its first exhibition focusing on urban art.

The temporary studio/exhibit opened to the public on October 7th and will remain so through the week. Current will have a closing reception on Saturday October 11th, which will display the finished works of the artists. The night will consist of a VIP reception from 6-9pm, with general access following.

La galerie Station 16 est heureuse de de s’associer à Current, une exposition d’artistes urbains à l’Arsenal. Ce sera la première exposition d art urbain pour le centre d’art contemporain Montréalais. Une exposition de type « laboratoire », Current offre la possibilité au public de voir les artistes en plein processus créatif. Le studio/exposition temporaire est ouvert au public  jusqu'au 11 octobre. Current   aura une réception de clôture, samedi le 11 octobre.

The Street Museum of Art: Curating an Urban Landscape

The Street Museum of Art presents a unique and innovative approach to experiencing art by extending beyond the physicality of a museum or gallery. By combining the strategic curation and organization of a museum with the guerilla techniques of a street artist, SMoA is the first public art program of its kind.

 

The Street Museum of Art présente une approche unique et novatrice quant à une expérience de l'art qui va au-delà de l'espace physique du musée ou de la galerie. Combinant le commissariat d'exposition stratégique propre au musée et les techniques de street artists, le SMoA présente un programme artistique sans précédent, unique en son genre.
