Beyond the Streets
Beyond The Streets (BTS) is the premier exhibition of graffiti, street art and beyond, celebrating the soaring heights to which the world’s most recognizable modern art movement has risen. The exhibit explored fundamental human themes: mark making and rule breaking. It is not intended to be a historical retrospective, but rather an examination of cultural outlaws who embody the spirit of the graffiti and street art culture.
Curated by author and historian Roger Gastman, graffiti’s foremost authority, BTS is a groundbreaking multimedia showcase of paintings, sculpture, photography, installations and more throughout 40,000+ square feet of industrial indoor and outdoor space.
Original works from Shepard Fairey, Jason Revok, Future 2000, Retna, Lady Pink, Dash Snow, C.R. Stecyk III, Guerrilla Girls, Barry McGee, Chaz, Lee Quiñones, Faile, Swoon, Invader, Kenny Scharf, Haze, Felipe Pantone, Gordon Matta - Clark, MArtha Cooper, Taki 183 plus Dennic Hopper, Takashi Murakami and many more.The one-of-a-kind, touring exhibition opened to the public in Los Angeles will run through July 6th, 2018.
The exhibition will also offer dynamic programming in the form of performances, lectures and films, along with a partnership with non-profit STOKED Mentoring and adidas Skateboarding to provide educational workshops for the inner-city youth of L.A. A curated gift shop will feature limited-edition prints, books and collectibles, including a capsule collection developed with adidas Skateboarding, artist-edition Montana Colors spray paint cans featuring Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and limited-edition Shepard Fairey fiberglass chairs by Modernica. Swindle magazine with Shepard Fairey, co-authored The History of American Graffiti and co-produced the Oscar-nominated Banksy documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop.
