RAZORS, TAPE, GLASS






FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Jajo Gallery presents their sixth exhibition:
RAZORS, TAPE, GLASS.
featuring Aakash Nihalani, Ibrahim Ahmed III, and Poster Boy.

June 12, 2009
Reception: 7PM-11PM
Afterparty: 11PM-2AM

set provided by DJ AMANDA
live music by FANCIE & BOBO
free admission. donation cash bar.

Using simple tools to construct their compositions, artists Aakash
Nihalani, Ibrahim Ahmed III, and Poster Boy have created site-specific
works to be unveiled at Jajo Gallery.

Working off the walls, Aakash Nihalani and Poster Boy have collaborated inefforts of wholly-evolving the space. By working in a controlled environment they have altered their guerilla-art style. This shift inevitably modifies their mediums, as well as their interaction with the public.

Ibrahim Ahmed III has fused conventional means of fine arts with industrial found objects. Utilizing the ceiling, he has chosen to create a large-scale installation striking an intimate dialogue between his work and the space.

Mastering their mediums, artists Aakash Nihalani, Ibrahim Ahmed III, and Poster Boy have presented an exhibition of immense proportion and great magnitude.

Stupid Kids

Some people were skeptical about an exhibition curated and created solely by High-schoolers. I will tell you though our batch of "Stupid Kids" really pulled it off! Parents, Professors and our normal Jajo crowd was more than amazed of the talent brought to the table for this exhibition!


Kids, jajo is very proud of you!
