Train Hopping: Looks like art is a changing, this one is fun

Chandran Gallery Presents
NBD
Solo Exhibition and Book Release by Swampy

Enigmatic Artist Resurfaces With Images Documenting A Year Train Hopping Across the Continent
on the North American Criminal Roller Coaster

(l) Safe In My Cave and (r) Aguascalientes, 2015
Chromogenic color print, edition of 10, 30 x 30 in.

Exhibition Dates: July 25 - Aug 08, 2015
Opening Reception: Sat, July 25, 2015 - 7-10pm

SAN FRANCISCO — July 16, 2015 — Chandran Gallery is pleased to present NBD, a solo exhibition and book release by Oakland-based artist, Swampy. The exhibition is comprised of select images from the book presented in large-scale, 30”x30”, c-prints, each in an edition of 10. A screening of Swampy’s video diary on his summer travels will be shown at the opening reception. The exhibition is on view July 25 to August 08, 2015 with an opening reception on Saturday, July 25 from 7 - 10pm. The artist will be in attendance.

NBD is a collection of photographs detailing the artist’s travels, primarily train hopping, across North America from Mexico to Alaska during the fall of 2010 to the summer of 2011. The images take us inside the hobo culture that treads the line of fugitive and idyllic. Traditionally, train hoppers leave their mark denoting the direction they are headed, for instance EBD for eastbound or BW for westbound. Swampy’s tag was NBD for his northbound journey.

Cited as one of the most influential graffiti artists today, Swampy strikes a marked departure from his prolific street work with NBD. The images show us quiet observations of the communities, strangers and provocateurs that the artist encounters in his travels. As the images take us across the continent, we see the underbelly of a transient culture while also encountering the sublime landscapes and adventure in which the tracks take them. In the book’s introduction Swampy tells us:

The allure of traveling by train initially came from the absence of a price tag, but the sense of solitude that I discovered once I started riding is why I continue a decade later. The railway strikes out a different path across the landscape than roads and highways, and there is a calm to the environment surrounding the tracks.

Swampy is an elusive artist with a preference for anonymity. Even so, he has developed a cult following that is fascinated by his multidimensional work as much as by his enigmatic identity. “I like disappearing”, a phrase often peppering his work, is a regular practice for the artist. Following Swampy’s 2011 sold-out debut solo show at FIFTY24SF Gallery, the artist vanished off the grid. In his sporadic resurfacings, the artist has collaborated with Paper Monster and has been featured in The New York Times T Magazine, Complex, Juxtapoz and The San Francisco Chronicle.

Is This Art: second email of the day to challenge the art status Quo. What di you thin?

Hello,

mfc-michèle didier starts its 2015-2016 exhibition program with the presentation of the work The Fountain Archives by Saâdane Afif. This exhibition announces the publication of the entirety of Saâdane Afif’s The Fountain Archives by mfc-michèle didier in 2017, for the celebration of the Centennial of Marcel Duchamp’s work.

And it is not by chance that, in paralel, mfc-michèle didier has decided to invite Jazon Frings. His questionning of the nature of art goes beyond the questions raised by the ready-made. he artist creates stock shares linked to his own life: the concept of the stock market is called into question, opening greater perspectives than its current status of a playground for a select few.

More informations here: PRESS RELEASE

I stay, as always, at your disposal for any information or request for visuals.

Many greetings,

Virginie
