* Well it was another hot weekend in Atlanta as usual ,but for this particular weekend
* (Aug 13-14 2010). Atlanta was filled with more than the usual talent and creativity, when several national artist invaded and contributed to “Living Walls” a street art
* exhibition and lecture series. Several artist wheat-pasted and painted murals around
* the city of Atlanta. The following images and interviews are from 3 artist that I personally

CHECK IT OUT!!!

1)What Purpose is your message and/or purpose of your art?
To encourage dialog,to question social and political constructs and move forward into a better future. The work is to inspire.

2) How did you choose the media and materials you create with?
I think all the materials and media i work with are part of a natural progression. I choose materials according to the project. I consider myself a multi disciplinary artist. I have interest in many different materials and process. I don’t really want to be packaged, labeled, and boxed to one material or look. I have a style you know it. People tend to want that for artist. They want series or bodys of work, i have those too but i dont wanna become known for doing this one thing. For me its about Freshness, the complete dialog, follow my works journey and progression.

3) What is the hardest part in your creative process?
The hardest part is sticking to an idea. I don’t usually work from sketches.I prefer my work exist in the moment. Its a spiritual feeling for me. Its listing to a greater power inside yourself. Its hard to work in my studio in the summer its about 90 plus degrees in there and the opposite in winter that’s hard.One day I have a nice big studio with AC/heat and roll down doors and skylights …..

4)Who( or What) inspires your work, messages and imagery?
There are to many to list. I’m inspired by images of Peru and history of Africa, Images of chickens and wall street investors. My inspirations usually mash up like a GrandMaster Flash/Diplo mix. I’m pulling from so many histories and philosophies at once, but its all some how is linked to Identity, political voice, Black Southern culture, global culture , Hip hop and punk. I work in a double consciousness, what I call the Double Double. This allows me to time travel and remix cultures.

5) What personality traits are reflected most in your work?
The narrative. My work has a certain narrative element to it. I speak in stories. I was recently elevated by Christopher Hutchinson to Griot status. Griots are African story tellers they know the oral traditions the spoken history. That is me, The street version The Urban type. MICHI MEKO, Griot. Feel me!!!

**BONUS**
Do you ever think of the moral implications of a particular message and images you may put out?

Like I said the work is to encourage dialog.Thats the issue we dont address the really hard issues like race or sexuality.We don’t truly engage our political system. There is a finger pointing blame game high school mentality with our politics. Its sad because it trickles down to the people, the citizens who repeat from the talking heads,not trully questioning motives or forming ideas or opinions that haven’t been guided. We have become fearful. Knowing our nations history with false flag ops and racial turbulence. How can you not question it. I’m on some fuck the system..PEOPLE POWER Revolution. I’m concerned about Black youth esp males.One has to question why more Black males and Hispanics are locked up than white males when we are the “minority”. Why prisons are private businesses. You have to question why Brown and Black People all over the world are fucked up. You got to question why cops shoot more black males by accident and get off with no jail time. Question it all and I do Ive been call CHE MEKO. So i believe its up to artist to put those messages out there. To challenge the viewer, be the voice of descent, to be outside the popular. To lead the way and be fearless.

1)What Purpose is your message and/or purpose of your art?
The purpose of this art is to connect, in a positive way, with others.

2) How did you choose the media and materials you create with?
I am a furniture designer/maker and have lots of wood, scrap and otherwise, to paint on.

3) What is the hardest part in your creative process?
Having enough time to make and distribute as many EVEREMAN pieces as possible. I am considering taking on an EVEREMAN apprentice. Somebody get at me.

4)Who( or What) inspires your work ,messages and imagery?
The positive interaction I get from those who appreciate EVEREMAN is most inspirational.

5)What personality traits are reflected most in your work?
I believe there is power in giving and that cooperation yields better results than competition. I hope that comes through in what I do.

***BONUS QUESTION***
Do you ever think of the moral implications of a particular message and images you may put out?
Always. Most of what I do is “friendly”. In other words, I use magnets, wire hangers, stakes driven into the ground etc. Ways of being out and in that street that leave no trace. Street art, in itself, is a form of civil disobedience. Mine is a peaceful revolution.

Without money, and nevertheless…

The Temporary Art Centre and cultural initiative WEI organise a no budget festival. Whereas the event is all about the money.

The programme is a mix of music, visual art, philosophy and debate concerning art, artists and where they obtain their money from.

Does little money make correctly creative?

The American city Detroit is the inspiration source for the no budget festival this year.

I have been asked to fill a van with art for this festival.
And I want you to join me in this project by making art on cardboard and send it to me. The size of the carboard is limited to A2.

So think cars, techno music, ghetto’s, Ford, poverty, hiphop, motown, General Motors and paint, draw or whatever you want on a piece of cardboard.

It would be nice if you send me the work without any protection, no packaging, so the journey of the artwork can be seen and we keep this as low budget as possible.

Every work on cardboard is accepted, as long as the theme Detroit is clear.

Send your work to:
LukeDaDuke
Vlinderplein 10
5641 GA Eindhoven
the Netherlands

Deadline for your work: 23th of September

Stick This Capitol 2011 will take place in Salem,
Oregon in September 2011!
