Smash 137 Karambolage “Contemporary Typography”
Show in GENEVA
Address: Grand Rue 13, CH-1204, Geneva, Switzerland.
Opening Hours: Wednesday – saturday from 1 to 6 pm and by appointement.
The Geneva gallery will show Swiss born artist from Basel “Smash 137″ for the very first time. He is one of the most active writers worldwide today. Karambolage “Contemporary typography”, a show not to be missed for all those in appreciation of the art of “Writing”.
“When i used to study typography at art school i understood pretty fast that all the letters of our alphabet are constructed from the beginning to the end. A font designer has to follow plenty of rules and there is just very small space for his own interpretation. on the other side there is handwriting which also has to follow certain rules but at the same time allows a wider interpretation to show your own personal character. Now the art work i will exhibit at the show is exactly a collision of this two worlds.”
“i have started to work on canvas in 2004. I used to struggle quite often with this topic because i never have asked my self what i am doing here and why, i just did what from my point of view felt right and all of a sudden people started to ask me questions i had no answers ready. I mean i never have heard any good explanation why people do write theirs names on things. it just must be a human urge or at least it is to me. When i write, the world stops turning”
“Smash137 is the name i have given to my self. I have choose the name Smash in 1996 and since then stick to it because my plan was to hit the walls and track-sides of my city with a huge amount of fresh styles and so the name was just made for my mission.”
Smash Bio
Smash was born in Basel, Switzerland in 1979, where he still lives and works today. In 1990 he starts painting Graffiti on trains and walls, in 2000 he starts studying graphic design in Zurich, Switzerland.
The style of Smash 137 has strongly influenced the international Writers? scene for years. The artist is obsessed with letters and it?s many ways of writing them. Driven by his obsession for Western calligraphy, he is today one of the most active writers worldwide.
Smash 137 has been participating in many Graffiti Jam?s and battles (graffiti competition on walls), and due to his very original graffiti style, he?s is since 2002 one of the members of the prestigious ?Montana Writer Team?. For over 5 years he has being showing his work ?In Situ? in galleries and public art spaces worldwide.

Read MoreConcrete Alchemy Tour
Last year, a group of artists got on the road with the only goal – to transform gray sterile cities into colorful works of art. Organized by Peter Brauch and Peter Krsko The Concrete Alchemy Tour was a collaborative work of Cern, Chor Boogie, Col, Crol, Demer, Eric Kennedy, Kasso, Mike Ciccotello, Mr. Maxx Moses, Plan, Rain, Ricardo Barros, Veng, Vyal and Werc.
The La Entrada project is a group of artists who also participated in Concrete Alchemy Tour, and are now working on a large-scale installation in San Diego. They also run workshops for younger artists and folks who live in the residential complex and surrounding area. Great talent, great heart. We love that combination.
