UTAH & ETHER - PROBATION VACATION: LOST IN ASIA

New book by Utah & Ether

UTAH & ETHER - PROBATION VACATION: LOST IN ASIA

Collector edition of 500 copies, signed and numbered by the artist.

UTAH ETHER PROBATION VACATION LOST IN ASIA BOOK SIGNED AND NUMBERED THE GRIFTERS PUBLISHING COLLECTOR EDITION

The first monograph of Utah & Ether tells the story of American couple who left their home land for good. Breaking the probation by boarding on a plane to India in 2011 and knowing they can never come back, they set a course for new adventure, which lasted 5 years in the world's largest and wildest continents - Asia. The following years Bonnie & Clyde spent traveling through 11 Countries, 37 cities, lurking day and night metro depots, so far untouched by graffiti writers.

 

The project was called PROBATION VACATION: LOST IN ASIA and the documentation of the nomadic journey was separated in two:

 

1. First, the video footage they created 12 original episodes, which allow us to follow U&E and experience a small part of their adventure. To be part of the action and to celebrate the accomplishment of their goals. This series was (and continue to be) release online for free.

2. The second part is held in a book. A book that will tell us the stories, the experience and the emotions they had along the way. This personal regard introduce us details and situations, which we can't see or understand in their videos. Together with a selection of their best photographies, the book will complete the experience and set a new milestone in the modern history of graffiti.

RACE FLAG: Art book by FELIPE PANTONE & OMAR QUINONES

Race Flag - Art book by Felipe Pantone and Omar Quinones - The Grifters Publishing

RACE FLAG

Race Flag is a conversation between visual artist Felipe Pantone and photographer Omar Quiñones through images. A single emoji occupies the cover, the use of this title is a statement of intent: They have a conversation not with words, but images, making use of the multiple meanings and readings they may contain.

The artists establish a game in which Felipe Pantone poses a question in the form of an image, comprised of the different elements of his work, consisting mainly of abstract forms. Omar Quiñones then answers with a photograph, figurative elements based on what inspires him from the received image, creating a new dimension focusing on forms, meanings and feelings.

With this format, they establish a kind of abstraction in reverse, in which both artists bring new meanings throughout the layout of the images. Felipe expresses himself with vectors, digital files and defined shapes, enhancing the abstraction; while Omar does so with images captured on photographic film, with grain and imperfections, coaxing the reader to enter a more physical dimension.

DOUBLE FANTASY by EEWAN

Double Fantasy by Eewan - The Grifters Publishing

The first and long waited monogram of the wonder-kid Eewan. This book reveals the unique humoristic prism that Eewan uses in his work and controversial musings on modern society, graffiti culture and lifestyle.

This book is a selection of unpublished works, with both deep and superficial layers of humor, interesting not only for people of a graffiti background, but for those who are not.

Read the interview with Eewan in The Grifters Journal here.
