 Leeds' (and the north of England's) premier AV pioneers looknlisten are heading Back to Cool (sorry) with a grafiti styled event for early September.
First up is a return to their residency at the reform bar on 2nd
september, featuring a massive range of graffiti influenced visuals,
inspired by the recent rumba caracas graffiti jam. The night kicks off
with a selection of classic films charting the history of graffiti and
it’s various cultures and styles. Reflecting the strong links between
graff and music, they will be breaking out some choice graff influenced
music videos, including the awesome mark ronsons version
of just (see below), with the dancing graffiti video.
On top of this, as if to prove they've not been idle all summer, visuals from dave lynch
and 273 curse make use of footage shot during the doodle sessions in
the green room at moorfest, and the full on piece work at the recent
graffiti jam. all chopped up and reassembled to accompany dj airplays
hip hop selection.
but that’s not all, oh no! as well as on screen visuals, they'll also have some heads getting down to some live doodling. and, for those who like their graffiti with a touch of the geek, we’re also breaking out our unique laser tagging and letting our new friends from the leeds graff scene loose to create giant laser tags.
speaking of tagging, they're also running a competition ‘get up leeds’ for the best tagging of their posters. tag a poster (preferably theirs), send them a picture ( info@lookandlisten.co.uk ) and the best will win one of their exclusive drew milward designed tshirts.
as ever the fun starts at 8pm, and entry is entirely free.
future events include:
7th october - when robots come good, the reform bar
light night - video showcase, the reform bar - giant civic hall projections
leeds film fest - film rescores and mashed films
