BIO
DOM BARRA, neapolitan artist, approched and started his practice in the field of visual art during his 7 years of life in England, Great Britain, studying at the Leeds College of Art and Design. His creative production interests a wide use of techniques such as installation, digital art, mixed medias paintings with a choice of subjects spreading from works with sociopolitical concerns to works with a more introspective approch.
The works of D. Barra are characterized by an eccentric use of colours. The artist lights up his creative flair with any tools or objects on his hand, works of a very strong visual impact and out of the boundries of "style" of mass consumption art.
D. Barra has exhibited either in Italy or abroad his native country with a preference towards unusual spaces outside the common and enlightened "temples" consecrated to the worship of art excellences.
The perpetuating creative dialectic of D. Barra results in a constant research for innovative artistic results in matters of subjects and the ways they can be depicted.
He is the graphic designer for the advertisement campaigns for the NGO "Sensacional". D. Barra also is the co-founder of the fashion accessories firm "RAZE Excessories" and he is member of the Neapolitan Artist Collective "URTO!

I am happy to announce that the RE/Mixed Media Festival 2012 will be held this saturday at Brooklyn Lyceum, 227 4th Avenue, Brooklyn NY.

The RE/Mixed Media Festival is a celebration of collaborative art-making and creative appropriation. It’s the artists’ contribution to the ongoing conversation about remixing, mashups, copyright law, fair use, and the freedom of artists to access their culture in order to add to and build upon it.

Featuring: Performances, panel discussions, hip-hop, sampling, beat-box, film & video, fashion, food, DJs, technology, interactive installations, painting, sculpture, software, hacking, and much more!

One of my projects will be featured in this year show.

The project is entitled Biutifool Beastard and it is about remixing the works of the great master of history of art into a more contemporary style making them more intriguing even for the less cultured people and tickle their curiosity and get them more interested in approching high culture. The project is a honest and not pretentious attempt in spreading culture and knowledge there where academic an institutional efforts have failed.
The project is also a campaign in support of open culture and the creative commons licenses against the totalitarian copyright licence and laws.
