Project One: ICONS
The emergence of a 21st Century Renaissance in POP and Urban Art Culture.
108 Fine Art, 108 West End Avenue, Harrogate HG2 9BT
20th September – 11th October 2008
Over the past two years 108 Fine Art have been working with the artists Richard McTague and Jon Kendall to bring together a groundbreaking International exhibition of 15 artists work. A forty page fully illustrated limited edition catalogue will be available from 31st August 2008.
From modest beginnings the initial idea of creating an exhibition reflecting current interest in contemporary Urban art has evolved into a much larger, inspired project involving work from the original innovators of POP art such as Gerald Laing and Peter Blake, through to David Mach and Julian Opie. International artists will feature prominently with Charles Lutz from Brooklyn, Blek Le Rat and Space Invader from France and Mimmo Rotella from Italy.
The crossover between those working with music and art has also become a major aspect of the exhibition, with early original Sex Pistols artwork from Jamie Reid, original paintings by Goldie, and the inspired artwork of James Cauty formerly of the KLF.
Live music will also feature in ICONS, with The Prelude, one of the most exciting and energetic bands to have emerged from Northern Ireland in the past decade agreeing to participate in the celebrations. The Prelude will perform live in the gas-lit setting of Hales Bar, Harrogate - late evening, Friday 19th September. Guest DJ’s will also play on the evening.
