by Margot Adler

All Things Considered, July 14, 2008 · Graffiti has always had a double edge. Often reviled as a symbol of lawlessness and the deterioration of neighborhoods, it can also be a form of cultural and artistic awakening. There’s even evidence of graffiti in ancient Ephesus in Greece and in ancient Rome.

“Who knows why people write on the wall, or where that instinct comes from,” says Charlie Halsey, one of the founders of Alphabeta, a new Brooklyn-based community art space and event space that also sells graffiti art materials. “As far as I know, people have been writing graffiti since the dawn of mankind.”

Interview with Eklips / 7th Letter spotlight

Posted in Artist, interview, writing by whatyouwrite on the July 16, 2008
Tags: , , , ,

Eklips is known to run some things on the american West coast.

The Seventh Letter’s roots go back nearly 20 years, when the collective’s founder and leader, Eklips, a legendary writer in his own right, started the AWR (Art Work Rebels/Angels Will Rise) and MSK (Mad Society Kings) writing crews while bombing around the Motor Yard in Los Angeles. As Eklips’ fame grew, so did that of those wanting to align with his artists. Sensing an opportunity to take graffiti in a new direction, Eklips merged AWR and MSK under the Seventh Letter umbrella in 1999. By then, AWR/MSK members were well known on the street, and Eklips’ idea was to take graf where it hadn’t gone before, but where lowbrow-art practitioners like Ed “Big Daddy” Roth had previously spun gold: namely, corporate gigs and merchandising.
