Line Steppers promises to bring together a diverse mix of styles and a broad range of mediums from oil paintings to sculpture, screen prints to large installation pieces.
With an area of the exhibition dedicated to artwork under £75, “Line Steppers” will appeal to many tastes and many pockets.
After the huge success of 0121 as part of Mutate Britain in London, Jibbering Art bring this fresh and cutting edge exhibition back home to Jibbering HQ.
With over 20 street artists exhibiting, Jibbering Art have brought in the godfathers of UK graffiti, Juice 126, Mac 1, Part2ism & Remi/Rough to exhibit alongside the emerging new blood of the scene; including Dora, Dscreet, Glenn Anderson, Newso, Rowdy & Zoot.
0121 will feature original works, sculpture and limited edition prints including Part2ism’s first ever print!
Jibbering Art have also managed to pull in Cyclops who has been heavily in-demand this year, with shows throughout the UK and in Hong Kong. Jibbering Art will be one of a handful of galleries selling Cyclops’ new, ‘Cyone’ vinyl toy, limited to 100 of each colour.
Launching on Thursday 18th December from 7pm, 0121 is an exhibition not to be missed. So many original pieces sold during the London leg that artists have had to produce new work for this show!
0121 is open every Monday-Thursday 10am - 6.30pm, Friday 10am - 5.30pm and Saturday 10.30am - 5.30pm from Friday 19th December 2008 until 14th January 2009. Closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day & New Years day, check www.jibbering.co.uk for opening times over Christmas & New Year.
Jibbering is also open this Sunday 21st, 10am - 3pm.
The launch night saw over 500 people through the doors. With buyers knowing that the exhibition was on for three days in London and then open in Birmingham for 7 days, we saw several large bids on the opening night.
Jibbering combined our love for music with our love for art, the Yabba Funk Sound System and The Mighty Jam Jah Sound were the perfect backdrop to Room 1, where the Shambala Art Boards were being exhibited.
Not only did we have the Shambala Art boards, the Shambala Fort and the donated pieces exhibited at Cordy house, the artists in attendance also painted three flights of stairwells and the rooftop walls.
Newso, Zoot and Sweet Toof all took to the stairwells.
Cyclops, Sweet Toof, Discreet and Newso did a massive collaboration.
Zoot, Gastro, Glenn Anderson, LL Brainwashed and Mac 1 all got in there too. Mac 1 produced yet another breathtaking piece and Newso didn’t fail to perform to the crowds, he painted a giant hand in front of 50 onlookers.
Over 30 street artists have been brought together to help raise money for two small grass roots charities based in Africa. The boards that the artists painted during the Shambala Festival 2008 will be exhibited, along with donated pieces that will be sold through closed bids to the highest bidder.
All profits (with no administration charges) will go to:
Banunule School For Orphans, Kampala, Uganda.

Malawi Education Project, Malawi.
