From the Streets of Brooklyn
You can take the artists out of Brooklyn but you can't take Brooklyn out of the artists. Ad Hoc Art and Thinkspace Gallery have teamed up to bring LA a group show like they've never seen before. It's a pleasant surprise to see that From The Streets of Brooklyn will be showcasing all the usual street art suspects like Gaia, Imminent Disaster, Michael de Feo, Bast, Swoon, Thundercut, Maya Hayuk and plenty more but also a number of the graff guys and girls who are holding it down in Brooklyn such as Rate, Avoid, Faro, avone, Sonet, and more. This show opens tomorrow, Friday, January 9.
""From The Streets of Brooklyn" is a wide survey of the street and graffiti artists who call Brooklyn their home. From internationally renowned street artists such as Bast and Swoon to hardcore graf writers such as Kuma and Rate, this show features almost 50 artists from every walk of street art and graf art life. Wheat pastes, stencils, murals, installs and of course tags and piece ups are all recognized and included in this once in a lifetime examination of what is currently going up and staying up in the streets of Brooklyn, New York. A photo montage by street art photographer Luna Park is included in the show as well as great installations in the gallery by Gaia with Rachel Lowing (front entry area) and Imminent Disaster (project room area). Also, be sure to check the area around the gallery for the incredible chalk shadows of Ellis G. dotting the sidewalks and enhancing the mundane city landscape, even if only until the next rain. "
