WK Interact
Compile a list of the most important international street artists historically and contemporaneously and chances are, the names you have chosen are included in “The Thousands,” the most expansive street art exhibition to hit London this year. The show has been organized by AM’s friend RJ of Vandalog and aims to celebrate the achievements of street artists around the world and aid in solidifying their rightful place in art history.
Set in the main atrium of Village Underground, “The Thousands” will open November 18th and run through November 22nd. A companion book will be published by Drago Lab to commemorate the event.
RJ has provided us with an exclusive first look at some of the pieces that will be included in the exhibition. These additional teaser images and a list of some of the artists included in the show after the jump…
Faile
Although we can’t reveal the full list of artists to you just yet, we will let it slip that you will be startled by its strength and can let you know that AM favorites such as Herakut (interviewed), Swoon (interviewed), Shepard Fairey, Faile, WK Interact, Know Hope (interviewed), Chris Stain (interviewed), ESPO, Barry McGee and Dalek will have significant pieces on display. The artwork that will be exhibited is on loan from collectors and most will not be for sale.
Needless to say, we are very excited about this show and will be closely monitoring its progress as November draws near. You can too, by following “The Thousands” on its official blog.
