Fordistas Presents Nomadic Experiment ‘Tons of Tools’ by 2501

Fordistas is pleased to present the upcoming opening of the program’s latest exhibition: Nomadic Experiment Tons of Tools by internationally recognized street artist 2501. The opening night celebration will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2014 at 7pm during Art Walk at the Product/81 Gallery in the Wynwood Arts District.

Italian-born 2501 (Jacopo Ceccarelli) is best known for his black and white line art murals that feature a concentration of lines to form unique and stunning images with a 3D feel. In his exhibition with Fordistas, he will experiment with different tools and brush configurations for a new perspective on his approach. A series of limited edition, signed prints will be made available for purchase, the complete proceeds of which will benefit a South Florida Ford supported charity of the artist’s choice.

The Fordistas program is a platform for emerging arts + culture powered by South Florida Ford. Following the success of the 2013 Art Basel exhibition Friends and Family, street artists Axel Void, 2ALAS, Jufe, Pastel, Jaz, 2501 and Alexis Diaz, will be provided with a year-long residency through which Fordistas will make available living quarters, materials, the opportunity to feature their work in solo Art Walk exhibitions as well as to develop their work within a talent space where the local meets the global in order to demonstrate South Florida’s influence upon their work and vice versa.

The Residency Program will culminate during Art Basel Miami 2014 for a final exhibition that will document the process of these artists brought together by the collective in order to showcase not only how their work is affected by the city and, in turn, how the city affects their creative expression, but also how relationships inform and transform artistic production.
