Bay Area fans of urban contemporary art can check out Scion’s Installation 5 Art Tour, which arrives in San Jose this weekend after recent runs in New York, Phoenix, and Miami during Art Basel.  The traveling exhibition / arts fundraiser / major auto manufacturer promotional event includes work by an international cast of new contemporary and street artists, designers, illustrators and photographers.  An opening reception for the San Jose exhibition will be held Friday, June 5 from 8 p.m. – 12 a.m. at Gallery Anno Domini.

The powerful lineup includes Brazilian painter and multi-media artist Alex Hornest, legendary French stencil grafitti artist Blek le Rat, painter and modern iconographer Nicholas Harper, famed culture jammer and billboard liberator Ron English, composer and visual artist (and former Devo band member) Mark Mothersbaugh, illustrator and urban pop artist Yoskay Yamamoto, and Los Angeles-based painter Souther Salazar.  The show’s nine-city 2008-2009 tour will wrap up in September at the Scion Installation L.A. gallery in Culver City.
