Germany, Ireland, Spain, Los Angeles: Book Tour - The Exchange

The Exchange
Berlin Exhibition – Book Tour

Acclaimed graffiti collective The Exchange bring their dynamic style dialogue to Berlin with a group exhibition at Common Ground Gallery to mark the release of On The Run Book #8, The Exchange. The book like the exhibition is jam-packed with expert style antics as members trade sketches and rock diverse styles outside of their usual comfort zones. Don’t miss the chance to see this visual style assault up close and personal. Members present will be more than happy to sign copies of the book at the exhibition opening.

Seit Jahren erregt das Graffiti Kollektiv The Exchange Aufsehen in der Welt des Style Writing. Dreiunddreißig Mitglieder aus der Creme de la Creme der Graffiti Kultur zählt das spannende Projekt inzwischen. Die Künstler treten miteinander in Dialog und erarbeiten Skizzen für jeweils ein anderes Mitglied und stellen dieses so vor die Herausforderung über den Schatten seiner eigenen Style Buchstaben zu springen. Eine Auswahl der phantastischen Ergebnisse dieses Experiments ist nun pünktlich zum Buchrelease des On The Run Book #8 erstmals in einer Kollektivausstellung in Berlin zu bewundern.
