The good folks who put out Overspray Magazine, the stencil/street art glossy that celebrates its first anniversary this month, are setting up a show at Skewville’s Orchard Street Gallery and it sounds like a biggie:

Overspray Magazine Presents
PICK UP THE PIECES

New York, NY, September 2005 — Overspray Magazine, the world’s first and only magazine dedicated 100% to street art, have assembled a blowout exhibition of over 150 works by established and up and coming street artists to be held at The Orchard Street Gallery, 139 Orchard street between Delancey and Rivington. The exhibition will be on view from September 22-26, with an opening party on Thursday, September 22 at 7:30PM. The opening party will feature sounds by DJ Nature from Puerto Rico, free copies of brand new Overspray Issue #4, and, because they love you, free drinks.

PICK UP THE PIECES will feature works by Pisa73 and Evol from CT’INK in Berlin, Hammo, Sixten, Dr3w, Fremantle, New York’s ELC, Michael Defeo, Parskid, Tyler Kline, Peat Wollaeger, Asbestos and Creeper among others. The art will be priced as low as possible — between $25 and $200 – and will be sold right off the wall.

Full listing in the extended entry:

PICK UP THE PIECES will also mark the completion of Overspray Issue #4, and the magazines one year anniversary. The sumptuous glossy magazine will include artist interviews with a focus on art that translates into fashion. Get a peek at clothing lines by NYC’s own Claw, I love you, Robots will Kill, and Germany’s Superflu Societe and Momo Collective. Overspray Issue #4
also includes an international group of stencil artists who submitted hand-stenciled clothing for one of the hottest photo shoots of summer on NYC’s Frying Pan boat. Also get to know the magic and splendor of Skewville and TOWER.

Besides marking the premiere of Issue #4, PICK UP THE PIECES will launch the new Overspray website, which will be the most comprehensive, informative and interactive street art website on the web. The new site will have galleries where artists can upload their work and have it critiqued by peers, interactive forums with free membership, event listings as well as reviews
of past events and videos and audio clips from interviews.

Overspray is the world’s first and only 100% street art magazine. The quarterly magazine is an entirely independent, artist run publication, with international contributors and distribution. Overspray features artists working on the street and in public spaces as well as on other mediums including clothing, which is the theme for Overspray Issue #4.
