I just received an email from an old friend of mine, Benjamin Shine, who has been working on something special for America's Inauguration Day:

'Changing States', Single retired cotton US flag woven through mesh, 4ft x 6ft

"The piece was constructed from an old worn out US flag. I ripped it up into shreds and re-wove the pieces into his image, retaining the original shape of the flag and using only the red, white and blue fabric that was available within the single flag."

"Since then, Barnes and Noble have selected the piece as their official Inauguration image for their commemorative range of product throughout the US but more importantly The Museum of Arts and Design in New York are unveiling the original portrait on Inauguration Day (Tuesday 20th Jan) and also stocking the products in their store."

Well done to a Brit for making such an 'important' piece of art for America on the eve of a very historic day next week!

A 21st Century Contemporary Art Gallery in Hong Kong....

In the 21st century, a new genre of art has developed and its rapid growth has been unprecedented. The way people view contemporary art nowadays has created a new and formidable player in the Art market and even national museums have had to sit up and pay attention to this burdgeoning phenomenon. The line between fine-art and street-art/graffiti is now blurred, with its acceptance and recognition by the art establishment also bringing with it criticism and dismissal.
Adapta is a satellite gallery that attempts to bridge the gap between the understanding of the European and Asian art markets, creating a dialogue which, until now, has been relatively unobserved. We believe that the talent-pool that “Urban Art” offers is extraordinary and hand-picking each artist specifically for each show will demonstrate, educate and provide a wealth of inspiration for the youth of today.
Our first project will be held in November 2008, in Hong Kong. We have curated an exhibition of 5 UK-based artists, including Cyclops, D*Face, David Bray, Word To Mother and Vesna Parchet. Although the variety of work can be considered eclectic, it is precisely this reason why we chose them in the first place. From the famous street-artist D*Face’s two-dimensional graphic art to the rich textures of Vesna Parchet’s styled character-based paintings, a plethora of mediums, emotions and messages are employed for the viewer to digest.
With two shows planned per year, Adapta will continue to be a cross-cultural pioneer and strive to bring the most sought-after and progressive artists to Hong Kong’s doorstep.
