Barnstormers vs. HVW8, Music by Rich Medina, Montreal 2001


At tomorrows ‘The Site of NOW’ show there will be a small section on display from the “Barnstomers vs. Heavyweight”  Live painting session that was done in Montreal in 2001. It featured Montreal artists from Heavyweight; Gene Pendon, Tyler Gibney, Dan Buller with the NYC based collective Barnstomers; featuring David Ellis, Rostarr, Mike Ming, Jose ‘Ease’ Parla.

The piece was done at a large party in Montreal with music by Rich Media, with the artists going over each other back and forth. The final was a bit of a drunken mess but still cool to check out.

On display through Oct. 3 to 15th at Royal/T in Culver City, Los Angeles, CA.
