"Kings of the City" Bombs NYC
The original breeding ground of graffiti culture, New York City, highlights the growth of this art form in “Kings of the City.” The film festival will take place this May at Maysles Cinema, presenting rare documentaries of graffiti culture’s birth and development from NYC to Europe. An accompanying Graffiti Art Gallery will support the non-profit, The Walls Belong to Us. Although the lineup looks very juicy, we are especially interested in the following film featuring Ron English:
Inside Outside
Dir. Andreas Johnson and Nis Boye Rasmussen
2005
57 min.
Inside Outside presents some key figures from the current graffiti inspired street art scene including Zevs from Paris, Swoon, KR and Earsnot from NYC, Ron English from Jersey City, Adam & Itso from Sweden and Denmark, and and Os Gemeos and Pigmeus from Sao Paulo.
