Just yesterday we presented a video interview with Kenny Scharf and Kaws about the Stages exhibition, which will re-open in a couple of days in Miami Beach, in time for Art Basel Miami. To make an even louder impact this time around, Nike has invited some more artists to create works for the exhibition. Stages calls in Los Angeles based Christian and Rob Clayton, aka the Clayton Brothers, the furious paintings from Erik Parker and the black and white portraiture genius of artist Tomoo Gokita for a high energy show full of talent and spirit. All artwork on display as part of Stages will be available for purchase with proceeds directly benefiting Livestrong.

STAGES Miami will be open to the public at O.H.W.O.W. Gallery, from 4th to the 6th of December 2009.

O.H.W.O.W. 888 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 331132 TEL: 305-633-9345 Gallery hours: Fri-Sat, 12-8pm, Sun 12-6pm www.oh-wow.com

Take a detailed look at the new works that will be on display after the jump.

As a companion space to the STAGES show, WNW is a pop-up installation within New York City cycling institution Trackstar. Named for a personal motto of Lance Armstrong’s, WNW will be open to the public Wednesdays through Saturdays every week from October 22 to November 22.

WNW is all dedicated to cycling and art in New York. It’s a place for the community to get a sense of what LIVESTRONG and the Lance Armstrong Foundation are about and to connect with people who are stoked on cycling and art.

Hopefully we can soon show you some images of the space!

As you’ve no doubt heard, Lance Armstrong and Nike have united to launch Stages, a global art exhibition to raise funds and awareness for the fight against cancer. With contributions from over twenty of the world’s top artists, Stages takes Livestrong to a place where they can share their story with a whole new audience. In this video, Mark Parker, President & CEO of Nike, speaks on the event along with Stages contributers Jose Parla, Geoff McFetridge, Cai Guo-Qiang, Tom Sachs, Shepard Fairey, and Lance Armstrong himself. Truly inspirational.

Stages officially opens in Paris tomorrow, July 17 and runs until August 8, 2009 before travelling to the United States this fall.
