On 26 November 2014, the Saatchi Gallery will open Build & Destroy, an exhibition of rare art works, proofs and merchandise from the Urban Archaeology Archive of the Mo’Wax record label. The exhibition will also feature new works and limited editions by leading artists & designers who have worked with Mo’Wax over the past twenty one years. Build & Destroy coincides with the major survey exhibition Post Pop: East Meets West at the Saatchi Gallery.
Mo’Wax was founded by James Lavelle in 1992. From the beginning Mo’Wax was more than an influential & revered music label. James placed collaboration at the heart of the enterprise. Mo’Wax releases and projects were the results of interactions between DJs, musicians, visual artists, designers, filmmakers and photographers. The ambition was unfettered. Artists were encouraged to explore themes and to communicate with a global audience through a variety of media – sleeve artwork, posters, flyers, clothing, toys and exhibitions. Build & Destroy explores how the output of a community, built around a music label, could prove so influential to so many other artists and to have reached & stimulated a mass audience.
Legendary hip-hop MC and graffiti artist Rammellzee was utterly unique. A friend and adversary of Jean-Michel Basquiat, with whom he recorded the seminal and hugely influential ‘Beat Bop’(a highlight of Charlie Ahearn’s film Style Wars), Rammellzee’s graffiti and art work are based on his theory of Gothic Futurism, which describes the battle between letters and their symbolic warfare against any standardizations enforced by the rules of the alphabet.
