Interference opens at Eyebeam Gallery

Thrsdy Sep.27.2007 4:40pm | by lvhrd

Opening tonight, Interference is a 10 year retrospective of Eyebeam Gallery supporting artists who create art using new technology.

We’re especially excited about this opening because our friends Evan Roth and James Powderly from Graffiti Research Lab have a part in the show.

GRL collaborated with LVHRD for BIFOLD: WLD STRTS where they exhibited the graffiti technology of the Night Writer and LED “throwies,” sticky luminescent bulbs you can throw where paint could never reach.

The opening party begins tonight at 6pm with a VJ performance at 8pm. Interference will run through November 10th.

LVHRD MGZN 02 IS HERE

Thrsdy Apr.12.2007 8:35pm | by lvhrd

The second installment of LVHRD’s quarterly MGZN is finally here. This issue represents a lot of work and collaboration from LVHRD’s diverse membership, and the editorial staff is thrilled. Issue II explores the concept of ‘two’ through a range of interviews, reports, photo studies, feature length articles, and soundscapes. Donning Speto’s live painting from our second Bi-Fold event as its cover just seems to make sense, too.

Why read a post when you could read the real thing? Issue 2 is now available for download. Free. And be sure to check out LVHRD…

You eat organic food, but where do you live?

If you lived in the 7.83Hz house, named for the frequency of the earth’s vibration, not only would you live inside a nest of biodynamically grown wood, but you would be able to modify the interior of your home as you saw fit, adding floors to create new bedrooms, or taking out walls to make a bigger living room or garden.

You would also live in England.

Word round the campfire is that the British design firm, Youmeheshe, is bringing the design stateside. If you want a closer look at…

G.R.L. participates in ‘Open City’ exhibition Tomorrow Night

Wdnsdy Feb.28.2007 7:52pm | by lvhrd

A few months after their presentation of the Night Rider tool on a Midtown West building at LVHRD’s Bi-FOLD II, Graffiti Research Lab is back at it as a participant in Open City: Tools for Public Action, an exhibition that takes a “glimpse into the current media and tactics of artists who take their practices into the street.”

The opening reception, which is taking place on March 1st from 6PM-8PM at Eyebeam Gallery, will feature the Graffiti Research Lab aka G.R.L., an extenion of Eyebeam’s R&D OpenLab. Ever since G.R.L. graced the…

Interference in Boston

Wdnsdy Jan.31.2007 10:00am | by lvhrd

“It’s a hoax and it’s not funny.“ This is what was said by the governor of Massachusetts about what bomb squads referred to as “suspicious packages,” planted all over the Boston area. What are these “suspicious packages”, you ask? Well, they are none other than those infamous L.E.D throwies created by our friends at Graffiti Research Lab, but being adopted by guerilla marketers and Turner Broadcasting in a city near you.

Trying to combat the “axis of evil (corporations, advertisers, marketers),” G.R.L. and the Anti-Advertising Agency, wonder if Interference.inc, the marketing company responsible for…

Advertising=Graffiti

Thrsdy Jan.25.2007 1:25pm | by lvhrd

Back in 1977, it’s said that city dwellers saw an average of 2000 advertisements a day. In 2007, the average is closer to 5000. With advertisements on the sides of buses, clinging to scaffoldings, and even in the form of video billboards, you can’t even go into a bathroom stall without being assaulted by at least a few advertisements.

So, in the first collaboration of The Anti-Advertising Agency and Bi-Fold II presenters Graffiti Research Lab, the two groups are fighting back with a campaign they’re simply calling Light Criticism.

Using only black…

Building a Better Graffiti…

Frdy Jan.5.2007 6:31pm | by lvhrd

LVHRD members from the G.R.L. have proven that graffiti doesn’t necessarily have to come from a can. And proving that point even further to the max is truthtag, an “industrial designer and urban intervention artist” from Poland who works under the pseudonym “Truth” and creates, to the best of our knowledge, the first example architectural graffiti.
Sometimes hidden and at other times in plain view, the designs are crafted as though they were actually built into the buildings they’re stuck to. The beautiful, alien result makes a strong argument for the…

Though it’s the new year (Already? Wow), here’s a good video from the end of last year courtesy of the Graffiti Research Lab. Not much farther from thehappycorp office is G.R.L.’s Homeland Security Advisory Tower on the corner of Spring and Elizabeth St. Here, the G.R.L., using Plexiglass, a rope, and those ever so sparkly LED Throwies they’re known for, tagged up a message for all those buying into the whole Homeland Security terror levels hoopla. Check out the video on their site.

The G.R.L. is dedicated to outfitting graffiti artists with open…

LVHRD VDO: 018: BFLD 2.2

Thrsdy Dec.21.2006 10:00pm | by lvhrd

On Thursday, November 16th, LVHRD welcomed Speto, Brazilian graffiti artist and Brahma Ambassador, to present at Bi-Fold II: WLD STRTS. Speto started the evening by creating one of his signature art pieces for the audience, followed by a presentation of his own work within the context of the Brazilian art scene. Later during his NYC visit, Speto dropped by 11 Spring Street in NoLITa to partake in the large-scale graffiti project happening there. Arranged in part by street art documentarians Wooster Collective, Speto’s contribution was alongside an international roster of artists who…
