ART AGAINST KNIVES + MOTHER DRUCKER present ‘As the crow flies’
Silkscreen printed Urban Art Collection from Berlin Based Mother Drucker exhib-ited in cooperation with Art Against Knives Charity. March 2 - April 2. 2012
Mother Drucker and Art Against Knives are pleased to present As the Crow Flies, a straightforward print show which aims to highlight the direct lines between visionary urban art and fine production silk screen printing. Mother Drucker has joined forces with East London based charity Art Against Knives to raise money for their future youth community based projects through print sales from the collection.
Urban art and silkscreen printing have formed a strong relationship with each other over time. The stencil based process of silk screen printing often eas-ily compliments the methods of application chosen by urban artists, with many concentrating their skills upon stencil cutting, spraying, collage and general paint works of every messy degree. This new collection is all about the real relationship between the artist and the printer, between the creative and the productive, between the conceptual and the deviceful. Artist and printer have put they’re minds together to make a quality collection of silkscreen prints.
‘As the Crow Flies’ features a range of works by European urban artists: Penny, Nomad, Hannah Parr, Elmar Lause, Victor Ash, Various and Gould and Anton Unai. Limited edition prints will be available to buy from the BoxPark gallery space throughout the exhibition with donations being made to AAK from every print sale.
Art Against Knives is an East London based charity that focus on raising aware-ness about knife crime and creating positive youth led Arts community projects for young people living in the East London area. Since their initial hugely successful art auction in 2009 the charity has flourished and now has a great permanent gallery space in BoxPark - the world’s first pop-up mall, AAK sells affordable artwork priced from £20 - £500 from established artists, as well as students and emerging talent.
Mother Drucker is a print house and gallery based in Kreuzberg, Berlin; here they work with a wide range of artists to produce high quality limited edition silkscreen prints. They release work on their website and organise a range of shows and events. They also offer an out of house screen-printing service and screen-printing courses in English.
