The latest exhibition at Projekts gallery titled ‘This is for you’ is a show made up of collaborations with Artist Paul Roberts’ Monsters Monsters.
The idea for the project is devilishly simple, drawing up a hit list of artists Paul Admires, he sent them doodles, paintings, patterns for plush toys and toys themselves with instructions for them to let their imaginations run riot.
Among the Artists are names like Jon Burgerman, Micheal Sieben, Ian Stevenson, The Outcrowd Collective, Travis Millard as well as some up and coming hot new talent, resulting in over 50 individually pieces from all over the world (see flier attached for full list). Projekts is happy to invite all their friends to the gallery on Friday 6th June for a special preview of the work.
Show runs; Weds 4th-Sun 22nd June Opening night: Friday 6th June 7-9pm
Projekts is hosting a preview of the latest exhibition from skater and artist Axel Bottenburg tomorrow from 7pm. The exhibitions opens to the public from Friday 8th Feb until 6th April.
Including home shaped and designed skateboards, paintings and video, the exhibition “bolts together a dizzying array of imagery incorporating both classic and contemporary iconography in a technically brilliant visual ‘mashup’.” says Vic from Projekts.
Stu Kolakovic’s new exhibition - Never Been - opens this Friday (7th Dec) with a party at the Projekts Shop from 7 - 9pm.
Stu’s style is unique and beautiful if I don’t say so myself. The BBC have reviewed his work, so click here to see what they have to say.

More URBIS news… Over 4 Sundays in September and October 2007, the Juneau Projects artists will set-up a mini-ramp containing contact microphones in the URBIS foyer. The idea is that new sounds will be created as skaters skate the ramp.
The Sunday sessions will be run as workshops and will have a limited number of participants each time. Only those skateboarders in the workshops will be allowed to skate the mini-ramp after the workshops are done. The workshops will include designing images that will be painted and stencilled onto a mini-ramp and capturing, mixing and mashing up sound samples that go into the mini-ramp.
The workshop will happen from 1pm - 4pm with skating the mini-ramp from 4pm - 6pm on these dates:
URBIS has an exhibition of Skateboards designed by different artisits from around the world. Called “Among The Living”, the exhibition is on the wall between the shop and the foyer area.
