Jorge FABEL Pabon Gets Up on CK One Shock Street Edition for Him

 "My graffiti history started about three decades ago on walls and subway cars. Shortly afterwards, I started painting graffiti designs on clothing and canvases. I've customized a wide variety of items and objects throughout my career. If it can hold paint, I'm tagging it!" - FABEL 

CK One Shock Street Edition

CK One Shock Street Edition is the new limited edition of Calvin Klein's popular CK One fragrance collection. After last year's oriental spicy CK One Shock for Her and CK One Shock for Him this year's CK One Shock Street Edition for Her and CK One Shock Street Edition for Him move in an energizing gourmand theme.

CK One Shock Street Edition for Her has a captivating opening with glittering bergamot and mandarin mixed with sweet plum. The heart follows with the caramelized sweetness and intensity of fruity notes infused with chocolate richness. The base takes over with the elegant warm touch and softness of amber, musk, sandalwood and patchouli.

CK One Shock Street Edition for Him fragrance opens with refreshing mojito notes mixed with sparkling citruses. The heart emanates fine spices with sweet geranium. The gourmand effect is revealed with the help of cocoa notes in the base of the composition.

CK One Shock Street Edition comes in the iconic CK One bottle originally designed by Fabien Baron. Jorge FABEL Pabon created the graphics on the bottle and the graff on the box of this year's limited edition CK One Shock Street Edition for Him. MISS 163 designed the art on the bottle and the box for CK One Shock Street Edition for Her.

The limited edition CK One Shock Street Edition by Calvin Klein is available in 100ml Eau De Toilette versions. In US stores early 2013!

These are the unedited answers to Jason Gross' questions.

Hi Jason,

Please let me know if these answers work for you. It was difficult

remembering dates, places, etc however, I did the best I could

considering I've taught/lectured in many places throughout my career.

Feel free to contact me if you need additional information.

Thanks so much for considering to include me in the Village Voice's

best of New York issue!

I hope it becomes a reality!

Q = For background purposes, was the Rock Steady Crew the first

professional dance group that you worked with?  Were you a co-founder?

A = I first danced professionally with The Electric Company Dancers, a

dance troupe I co-founded in 1981. I became a member of Rock Steady

Crew in 1982 and continued to dance professionally with them as well

as The Magnificent Force dance troupe (that was featured in the film

Beat Street). I was not a co-founder of Rock Steady Crew however, I

was part of the second generation that helped give the crew global

recognition.

Q =Could you give me some details about your NYU class at Tisch?  How

long has he taught it?  What kinds of things do you cover there?

A = I've been an adjunct professor at New York University's Tisch

School of the Arts for the passed 12 years. The course is at their

Experimental Theater Wing where I teach the Popping and Locking dance

forms as movement classes. We cover foundation, technique, history and

produce a performance piece that's performed at the end of the course.

I also teach a summer high school program at NYU.

Q = Similarly, how long have you taught at CAP 21?  What classes do

you teach there and what do you cover in the classes?

A = I've been teaching at CAP 21 for the past 7 or 8 years. The course

covers the same ground as my classes at NYU.

Q = Could you give some details and highlights of the lectures, master

classes and outreach programs that you have done? (dates, places,

material covered at each one)

A = In 2000, at the Brooklyn Museum of Art's exhibit titled "The Hip

Hop Nation: Roots, Rhyme and Rage", I delivered a lecture titled "The

Great Hip Hop Swindle" for the first time. I discussed the birth,

rise, fall and resurrection of Hip Hop culture and how the recording

industry hijacked the term "Hip Hop" and tried to make it synonymous

with only the "Rap" element.

In 2001, on behalf of the Universal Zulu Nation, I addressed delegates

at the United Nation's "Hip Hop Conference for Peace" with a piece I

wrote titled, "We Are One".  In this address I shared our thoughts on

the power and potential of Hip Hop culture and how it transcends race,

religion, philosophy, etc. The root of the discourse was on how Hip

Hop culture has become a global phenomenon through it's inclusivity.

From 2001 through the present I've lectured at various colleges,

universities and learning institutions such as: New York University, Cornell University,

Columbia University, City College in NYC, Lehman College, St. John's

University, Princeton University, Rutgers University, the Harvard Hip

Hop Archives, Dartmouth College, U Mass, Virginia State University,

University of Richmond, The Museum of the City of New York, etc.

Q = Which dance studios community based organizations, schools and

universities have you taught his workshops at? (again, any dates or

date ranges for these would be helpful)

A = Dance studios that I taught at within the passed 12 years include:

Steps on Broadway, Peridance Capezio Center, Broadway Dance Center,

Dance New Amsterdam, Alvin Ailey American Dance Center & School.

Community based organizations that I taught at within the passed 16

years include: THE POINT Community Development Corporation, Henry

Street Settlement, University Settlement, The Door.

Schools and universities that I taught at within the passed 16 years

include: New York University, The New School for Social Research,

Hunter College, Bank Street College, Middle Tennessee State

University, Arizona State University, University of Wisconsin–Madison,

El Puente Charter High School, Truman High School, Flushing High

School.

I also taught at dozens of after school programs throughout NYC, at

middle schools, when I worked for the Sports and Arts in Schools

Foundation from 1997 - 2001.

Q = I know this is a touchy subject for some artists but how old are

you?  If you're not comfortable giving an exact age, can you give me a

range (in your 50's)?  This would be impressive for other people your

age and perhaps inspirational.  Also, it would show that along with

your amazing cultural resume, that you're definitely a seasoned

artist.

A = I'm in my late 40s.

Thanks again!
