Twenty artists will be participating in a collaborative art installation that will take place in Central Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, from October 25 to October 28. Located in the heart of Central Square at 567 Mass Ave, the 81-foot long wall will present the best work by internationally-known street artists from around the country. This is believed to be the first time an event of this magnitude has been done in the Boston Area, which will include posters, painting, 3-D, graffiti, stencils, and stickers. The exhibit will be open to the public. More after the jump
The artists who will be presenting their work make up an all-star cast. Among them are Michael De Feo (NYC, www.mdefeo.com), Rene Gagnon (Fall River, MA http://www.renegagnonfineart.com/), Judith Supine (NYC, http://www.flickr.com/photos/judithsupine), Blake Marquis (Boston, http://www.blakeemarquis.com), Dan Bergeron (Toronto, www.fauxreel.ca), Bren Bataclan, Boston, www.bataclan.com), Kenji Nakayama (Boston), 5003 (Boston, http://www.flickr.com/photos/the5003), Goldenstash (Boston), Gaia (Baltimore, http://www.flickr.com/photos/pisacane/), Matt Siren (NYC), Darkcloud (NYC, formerly of Boston), Hiroko Kikuchi (Boston, www.bittermelon.org), Buildmore (Boston), Phallic Mammary (NYC), Heck (Seattle), Billi Kid (NYC), and the collaborative ELC (Celso, Infinity, Royce Bannon and others, NYC). Additional artists may join the project on an ad hoc basis.
While the "official" date of this exhibition is October 25 to October 28, when the installation is expected to be "complete", work has already begun on the project as of October 14. Therefore, the work will be open for public viewing before (and after) those dates. There will also be a talk by selected artists as follows:
