On The Wall - Miami Murals |

 Primary Flight is graffiti art at its finest. The curated graffiti installation was created in four days in early December during Art Basel in the Wynwood Art District in Miami, Florida, by more than 25 graffiti artists from around the world. The riot of murals is a result of cooperation between the Spinello Gallery, creative agency Blackbooks, New York-based creative-project think tank Landsea Ventures and paint maker Sabotaz.  According to the organizers, Primary Flight, curated by Books III, Anthony Spinello and Lynn Yohana Howard, showcases some of today's most respected graffiti artists. The organizers recognize that as graffiti has become “art,” it has often left the back alleys and bridge arches of the world. Primary Flight’s purpose is to bring the essence of graffiti back by making concrete outdoor wall space available to artists and giving them free reign over it. This way, graffiti art can be viewed on the streets, in its most appealing format and in its original environment.  What is most fun about massive open-air projects like this is that the actual creation process is accessible to all. Photographer Jeremiah Garcia documented the Primary Flight creative process ensuring that the art and its birth are preserved long after the walls are painted over. By Tuija Seipell |
