Art Radar has published a post about exhibition, Hidden Street at Pearl Lam Galleries Soho.
This August, we’re seeing a new shift. Pearl Lam Galleries in SOHO is now starting to do the opposite: bringing the streets into the gallery with “Hidden Street” (PDF download), a community art project and exhibition of urban art on show until 11 September. Featuring some of the most well-known, young graffiti names in Hong Kong, the show includes a three-day live-painting session, artist talks, events with local indie singer and illustrator Jan Curious and workshops. A highlight is the screening of On The Road (2012), a street art travel documentary supported by Converse that recounts the 50-day, 2.250-kilometre-long painting journey from Southwest China’s Kunming to Tibet by artists Sinic, NAN and WHYYY (IDT Crew).
