Bloc28 started as an idea 3 years ago. This art program is taking contemporary artists who’s experience stems from non traditional media such as murals, graffiti, and street art and giving them a very rare opportunity to reinterpret one of the most iconic and influential cartoon characters of all time, Mickey Mouse. Series one featured some of my favorite artists such as Slick, Mear One, Craola, and Steven Daly. All of the artists have their own unique style and each have carved a niche for themselves within the art world, each capable of telling a story in a non-traditional way. What makes this so special is that the collaboration between Disney and the artists has been done in a way that protects the integrity of all the brands, we all know how hard it is to touch Disney, and I think Disney respects the artists in which they have chosen to work with, the final product is something that will resonate within the art community and beyond for many years.
Media Contender was in the house for the private opening night party packed to the gills with art enthusiasts from across the country. Our very own Sucio was asked to dj alongside veteran underground dj, APX-1.
