“And Graffiti commanded man to paint all walls with bright and lively
colors, do not fall prey to the evil of the buff, of dripping brown
paint and sandblasted emptiness” Krylon 2:16-17
“Wherefore, as by one buff sin entered the world, and so buffing passed
among all walls.” Painter’s Touch 5:12
Call for Participation: We Want Your Street Art
Deadline: April 15, 2004
The God Bless Graffiti Coalition (GBGC), a national graffiti advocacy
group (see below description), is looking for artists who use posters,
stencils, stickers and sign installations to send us their work for an
exhibition project entitled “On the 8th Day..." wall.
This project is part of a larger political art exhibition opening this
coming May 2004 at Mass MOCA (the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary
Art), one of the leading museums for contemporary art in North America.
The show, called “The Interventionists,” is a collection of work by
artists who “intervene” in public space. Mass MOCA (www.massmoca.org)
is no hipster gallery, it sees over 110,000 people come through its
doors in the course of a year! “The Interventionists” will be on
display for 10 months. The “On the 8th Day..." project will be
installed on a 69’ x 20’ wall which is located in the opening room for
the entire “The Interventionists” exhibition.
This is an open call and we are asking for MULTIPLE copies of poster,
stencil, sticker and sign work (as well as actual stencils) of any size
(we would love to receive large works). All this material will be used
to construct a giant wall of street art, with the work pasted, stuck
and painted directly on the wall. NOTE: Because we will be piling the
work of hundreds of artists onto the wall, some work will only be
partially visible on the final product (just like in the street). If
you have any questions please let us know at
graffiti@c... and we will try to help. We
look forward to hearing from you!

The God Bless Graffiti Coalition was founded in 2000 in Chicago in
orderto combat growing national and international anti-graffiti trends.
We first published our Give Graffiti the Thumbs Up brochure to help
educatethe public about the truth of graffiti. This brochure has been
distributedon the streets via newspaper boxes in Chicago, Columbus OH,
San Francisco and Los Angeles. It has also been distributed in the
magazine Faesthetic#3 and by hand via an underground network of street
artists. The success of our initial brochure has led us to expand our
activities, including subway ads and our latest endeavor, graffiti
bible tracts. The "On the 8th Day..." wall will be our first museum
installation and just another attempt to spread the gospel of graffiti
to wider and wider audiences.
