Obey Giant vs WK Interact “East/West Propaganda Project”
March 23rd, 2007
In its efforts to foster talent among young artists from Japan and abroad, Tokyo Wonder Site has held street painting sessions and Hip Hop projects, treating graffiti and club events as familiar and important parts of our culture. For this exhibition, together with Agnès B, TWS Shibuya is exhibiting a set of collaborative works made by two internationally active artists, Shephard Fairey aka Obey Giant and WK Interact.
With both of these artists coming from a background of making works filled with visuals that transcend the already visually saturated, sign-filled urban environments they both come from, the works on show in this exhibition have been made to the theme of “propaganda”.”
So states Tokyo Art Beat on the Obey Giant vs WK Interact “East/West Propaganda Project”
We’re big fans of the Obey Giant “global” brand and other similar Banksy like outdoor graphics.
