The international design collective Distrikt is proud to announce the publishers’ release of their very first design book, titled This Is Textbook. This rather paradoxical anthology of creative eye candy is intended to be a referential portfolio of assorted work from friends and family of Distrikt Collective. Like a pair of mismatched socks, This Is Textbook exhibits photographs by Alison Grippo alongside anti-consumerist paintings from outsider artist Kelly D. Williams. Contributors to this collection also include Larry Mayorga, Damion Silver, The Midwest Visual Agency, Ryan Stephens, Kimberlee Whaley, and others. Showcasing a broad range of photography, art, and design, this book will be a sought-after sourcebook for anyone in the creative world. You can order your copy right here.

Long Beach, CA, August 3, 2009 – DDR Projects welcomes twelve emerging American contemporary artists to the gallery for the group exhibit entitled “Fragments”. Co-curated by Damion Silver, the exhibit will showcase some of our country’s brightest and most creative artists that have yet to be tapped. Please join us for an evening of exciting art.
Fragments; to break or separate, or to reduce or become reduced to pieces or components. Residual matter? The exhibit can go either way depending on the individual viewer and how they ultimately define our newest exhibit and the body of work. Like aesthetic archaeologists, these twelve artists dig beneath the surface of their engaging and visually complex works to expose their emotional and thematic foundations. The modern world with all its beauty and grotesque seen threw the eyes of twelve American artists.
Featuring the work of:
Dana Woulfe, Damion Silver, Scott Patt, Kenji Nakayama, Nick Z, Amy Ruppel, Abe Lincoln Jr.,
Thomas Buildmore, Peat Wollaeger and Justin Angelos.
Opening Reception is Friday August 7th 6-9 pm

50 ARTISTS HONOR 50 YEARS OF TIBETAN RESISTANCE WITH NEW YORK SHOW AND AFFORDABLE ART SALE
New York – On August 1st, more than 50 artists will exhibit works together at a one-night event in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan people’s nonviolent resistance to Chinese occupation. The event will be held at Art in General gallery in New York City and feature a diverse group of international artists from Boston, Kathmandu, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, San Francisco, and Tokyo. This will be the first contemporary art show bringing together Tibetan and non-Tibetan fine artists in support of Tibetan freedom and independence.
Most artwork will be on sale for a flat fee of $100 per piece, making this an affordable way for patrons to purchase original art and support the Tibetan cause at the same time. There will also be select pieces sold in a silent auction with opening bids starting at $250. In addition, there will be a live painting collaboration between Tibetan and non-Tibetan artists at the event that will be auctioned at the end of the night.
Participating artists include Rostarr, David Ellis, Kenji Hirata, Richard Gere, Karen Ingram, Christian Mendoza, Yuri Shimojo, GION, Jennifer Garcia, Joseph Ari Aloi, Sasquatch23, Hisashi Oguchi, Suckadelic, Eric Orr, Ngawang Jordhen, Stephane Sednoui, Cey Adams, Florencio Zavala, 428Graffi, Chris Shaw, Tomokazu Matsuyama, Tenzin Mochoe, Chand Nirankari, Phill Bartell, Beth Achenbach, Tenzing Rigdol, Damion Silver, Casey Ryder, Philip Lumbang, Tenzin Konchok, Mike Houston, Chaw Ei Thein, Travis Bone, Shan Jay, Carl Wedoff, Nicholas Shuminsky, Katie Hill, Lillian Byers, Nancy Jo Johnson, Peter Barrett, Jessica Dimmock, Ellen Wong, Losang Gyatso, Chris Maiurro, Steven Cogle, Carl Riddle, Janna Schneider, Emma Spertus, Puntsok Tsering, Burt Banger, Gil Corral, Mike Ming, Amy Ruppel, Jun Shoji, David Pierce, Mio Murakami, Sonam Zoksang, Chungbo Tsering, and more.
In 1959 the Chinese government brutally crushed a Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule, forcing the Dalai Lama and a hundred thousand Tibetans to flee into exile. Last year in March, just months before the Beijing Olympics, protests against Chinese rule swept across the Tibetan plateau. Chinese authorities responded with brutal force in a crackdown that continues to this day and has left thousands of Tibetans in prison or disappeared. After 50 years of resistance, however, the Tibetan people remain committed to nonviolence and their hopes for freedom are undiminished.
There will be live DJ sets by Spiritbear (Acid Test DJ’s / SuperSpirit). Drinks will be provided by Beerlao. All proceeds from the event will benefit Students for a Free Tibet (SFT), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with international headquarters in New York. Through education, grassroots organizing, and non-violent direct action, SFT campaigns for the Tibetan people’s fundamental right to freedom and independence.
