Rescue or Destroy art Tournament Bout 5

Rescue or Destroy is an art lover's surreal dream/nightmare. Art from all over the city shows up at Gallery Bar and it's here, for a while, then it's gone. It's been snatched from your grasp by an overly enthusiastic fan, or chopped up with a golden ax wielded by a maniacal giant bald man wearing a top hat and paint splattered jacket. Soooo sad.

Check back a little later and I'll post some of those that got away...the rescued and the destroyed.

Stop by on Saturday, the 17th and join the fun.

Werm vs DMN Ology 

Hip Hop Rescue or Destroy

This Saturday Rescue or Destroy takes it to the street. Werm and Dmn Ology face off in a hip-hop, spray-painted mash-up between two quintessential hip-hop artists.

Werm is a rapper, a painter, a teacher, a father….he says, “My art form started with a passion for graffiti and ended up with a talent for art.” The spray can has been replaced with an airbrush and an eye towards fine art.

DMN Ology started as an MC for rap events right out of high school until he started running with graffiti artists, Zor, Raffa, Raven and the like and took up painting. “Wow! An MC that wants to paint!!” They taught him well. Since then he’s traveled the world doing what he loves.

“Now I just have to figure out how to do it onstage while I’m rapping.”

Ah, imagine…the sound...the spray paint.
