Stick ´Em Up!
Museum of Fine Arts Houston
Tickets available here.
Friday, May 4th – Sunday, May 6th, 2012
Filmmakers will introduce each screening.
Stick ´Em Up! is a captivating film that explores the little-known world of wheat pasting, an inner-city art form that´s as provocative as it is misunderstood. Documentary filmmaker Alex Luster delves into the minds and motivations behind some of Houston´s most notorious guerilla street artists, capturing the lifespan of their art… conception, creation, placement and—ultimately—removal by the city´s abatement enforcement. With commentary by legendary street artists and top local law enforcement officials, Stick ´Em Up! is a gritty, street-smart documentary that reveals the secret truth behind the prolific images you see every day—in cities all across the nation.
Stick ´Em Up! was created by a team of talented Houston artists. A two-decade veteran of the Houston street art scene, GONZO247 worked as a Stick ´Em Up! producer and award-winning screen writer Tony Reyes helped craft the story. Artists interviewed in the film include Give Up, Shepard Fairey, DUAL, Eyesore, Cutthroat, and Bomit.
The DiverseWorks’ dock continues to be the backdrop for a rotating series of large-scale works by some of Houston’s most accomplished and sought after street artists. Every 8 weeks, a new artist reveals Grandalism, showcasing the raw talent and innovation of the city’s freshest and most prolific urban artists selected by Gonzo247, one of Houston’s most notable street art legends. Grandalism explores the combination of street art’s traditional large scale format, it’s “grand” from the public, and sometimes its unappreciated label of vandalism. Grandalism featuring Article opens Saturday, April 27, 2012 and will remain on view at DiverseWorks for 8 weeks. DiverseWorks Art Space, 1117 East Freeway, Houston, Texas 77002
