AM UK recently attended the bustling evening that was the London launch of Patrick Nguyen & Stuart Mackenzie’s “Beyond The Street” book, hosted at Phillips de Pury. The level of support for the book came over extremely positively in the number of people that attended the event.

Now, New York gets it’s turn as the stateside launch party is to be held next Thursday 27th May at Deitch Projects. Bring your copy of the book along or grab a copy at a discounted rate at the launch party and get it signed and doodled by some of the contributors and artists attending the event including Allen Benedikt, Dzine, Elbow-Toe, Faile, Gaia, Henry Chalfant, Jonathan LeVine, José Parlá, Labrona, Logan Hicks, Martha Cooper, MOMO, Patti Astor, Pedro Alonzo, Ron English, Saber, Sweet Toof, WK Interact and Wooster Collective / Marc and Sara Schiller are all confirmed, and with a lot of recent street art activity going on in NY recently, who knows who else may turn up…

The launch party will be the last ever event at Deitch Projects before Jeffery Deitch heads over to MOCA in Los Angeles, and will be set against the backdrop of Shepard Fairey’s soon to close “Mayday” exhibition. Check the flyer for details of how to RSVP as places are limited.
