Hong Kong, May 8 – ?, 2016, https://streetartreloading.wordpress.com/
A mini-festival bringing graffiti into different location in Hong Kong. I somehow missed most of it, but the large graffiti wall inside of Creative Media Centre’s 3F Gallery could not be missed: Smash137 aka Adrian Falkner (Basel) on one side vs. Parents Parents (Hong Kong) on the other. I don’t know the artists, so I can only ponder if the differences between the two works are a result of generational difference or geographic one. Simply judging with my eyes, Smash137’s piece looks like the “classic” graffiti I used to see around European cities while Parents Parents piece is more of a post-internet art mashup emulating both different media image sources as well as different printing-cum-painting techniques.
