"Collabro: Collaborations by over 68 Artists"
2006-05-20 until 2006-06-18
Subject Matter Gallery
Costa Mesa, CA, USA United States of America

This month Subject Matter Gallery features "Collabro", a collection of rare collaborative art pieces created by over 68 participating artists. The "Collabro" group show aims to define a moment of the urban art movement, a movement met with evolutionary strides in ideas, composition and esthetic. In this contemporary art progression, artists are encouraged to break hard-line, uncompromising work conventions and instead progress with eachother, as evidenced in the cooperative elements of street murals. For "Collabro" the artists have joined their separate art forms on shared canvas space, providing exceptional opportunities in what can be called an "ego share."

The "Collabro" artists have teamed up in groups of two or more to create work all captured and connected in one gallery. Collaborative art pieces will have their artists revealed at the show opening. The show was curated by Poor Al and includes Joshua Petker / Sylvia Ji / Robert Bowen / Alex Pardee / John Stuart Berger / Lesley Reppeteaux / Daryll Peirce / Henry Lewis / Shawn Barber / Diet / Curve / Luiki / The Mac / Mark Bode / Peter Taylor / Sez / Jophen Stein / Greg Simkins / Kim Scott / Michele Waterman / Len Croskey / Gustaf Rooth / Tim McCormick / Kofie / Asylm / Scott Saw / Neko / C.
