“Incredible (and international) public art heads indoors for an explosive exhibit at Joshua Liner. The Barnstormers are a collective spanning the US, South Korea, and Japan, featuring Flavorpill-favorite SWOON, Maya Hayuk, Ryan McGinness, unofficial founder David Ellis, and a host of far-eastern graff writers and artists we're just now getting an introduction to. This show however, focuses on the solo work of each of these talented artists, and includes video, painting, installation, photo, and printmaking — much of it in the improvisational and whimsical style of the collective — so it's the perfect place to make your own acquaintance.”

Joshua Liner Gallery says:
Over the past decade, the Barnstormers have created large-scale collaborative paintings, films, and performances. The group formed in 1999 after a pilgrimage of twenty-five artists to the rural town of Cameron, North Carolina, where they painted barns, tractor-trailers, shacks, and farm equipment, and continue to return to paint new murals. The Barnstormers’ “motion paintings” best demonstrate the range and flexibility of their collaboration: each timelapse video depicts a mural in the making as members dart about, adding and effacing marks, evolving the image with each passing second. A 2005 project included the disassembly/relocation/reassembly of a barn captured on video in a time-lapse flurry of activity. Improvisation, in spirit and practice, is the Barnstormer ethos. In this exhibition, the Barnstormers will present works by the group’s individual artists, all of whom have drawn acclaim in their own right and individual careers.
