About the Event

The wRit•ua•l workshop will be led by Artist and Educator Fernando Ruíz Lorenzo. 

ELM Foundation Students will study the works of COCO144 from his current exhibition wRit•ua•l, on view at The Boiler. Using the works as examples, students will learn of the evolution in aerosol letter making and culture in New York City, from the movement's beginnings to the present.

Attendees will explore the evolution from early letterforms traditionally created by aerosol writers in the 1970s to the current moment in contemporary art. Students will then create their own hand style using materials of aerosol art-making: ink, markers, and spray paint.

Additionally, COCO144 will lead an open discussion on the origins and history of aerosol art, its rise as a global movement, and addressing the debate over the criminalization and marginalization of the graffiti community in the New York City neighborhoods of Washington Heights, Harlem, and The Bronx.
