Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. Spacejunk opened its doors in October 2003 in Grenoble - France. Set up in order to propose a real place of expression to the artists of Lowbrow, Board Culture, Pop Surealism movement the success of this space very quickly attracted a young public, showing the relevance of this project. Since 2003, the owner of the project and curator Jérome Catz did multiple exhibitions and events, partnerships and projects, thanks to its contacts, innovative approach and a choice of celebrated or upcoming artists. The artists of those milieu are numerous… their creativity is infinite, so is their talent… and the history shows it already. The majority of these artists only live to progress, whether it is in technique or style… Do not be astonished if you see here certain big names of tomorrow… The exhibitions generally last 45 days and turn in the four Spacejunk Art Centers in France. Some exhibitions travel much further, going to China, Australia, South America and the USA. The annual report of these activities is published each September in the shape of a catalogue of exhibitions.
