From March 1st – April 7th, the Graffiti Research Lab is declaring NYC an OPEN CITY<\/a>. All the streets and walls have been turned over to the bombers, pranksters and protesters. As a triumph<\/a> for the GRL’s foreign conquests, and for all the anonymous public works made by servants of the street at home and abroad, Eyebeam<\/a> is presenting an exhibition<\/strong> and series of free screenings and workshops that reveal the tools and tactics of graffiti writers, artists, protesters, pranksters and hackers who are reclaiming our cities by any means necessary.<\/p>\n Presented by Eyebeam<\/a>, Open City: Tools for Public Action<\/strong><\/em> is an exhibition documenting the ingenuity of graffiti writers, artists, protesters, pranksters and hackers reclaiming the public realm. By presenting the artifacts and tools of the artists, the exhibition offers a deeper look at the means and motivations of urban action and creativity. Open City<\/em> hopes to inspire its audience to make their own tools for public action. To encourage community participation, a series of screenings, presentations and workshops exploring tool building, tactics and approaches to communication by any means necessary will occur at Eyebeam throughout the month-long exhibition. Among the means and materials presented will be: paint, tape, stencils, digital projection, large-scale public pranks, hacking urban infrastructure, homemade markers and ink recipes, lasers, etch, the internet, social engineering and activist robots.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Featured Artists include:<\/p>\n Aram Bartholl<\/a> (Berlin) This exhibition is on view from March 1 – April 7, Tues-Sat 12-6pm.
