Street art is coming to town, and we mean works by some of the world’s best-known street artists, such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey (aka Obey), Futura, Invader, JR, Blek le Rat, Swoon, Vhils, and loads more.

Debuting in January at the ArtScience Museum, the Art from the Streets exhibition is curated by gallerist Magda Danysz. It’s the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, tracing 40 years of street art in the large-scale mural paintings, videos, installations, prints, archival material, drawings, and sketches displayed.

As a highlight, the exhibition will host a series of live paintings and installations created on-site by the likes of Felipe Pantone from Spain and Eko Nugroho from Indonesia, as well as local artists Speak Cryptic and Yok & Sheryo, who will also showcase their works alongside the international names.
