The Underbelly Project

Faile

From the public realm to the undiscovered, the Underbelly Project is a huge art show would be a struggle to stumble upon. Created by two street artists PAC and workhorse (not their true names), they organized over 100 street artists to participate, risking their health and permanent records to work in dark and grimy conditions by putting their artistic mark directly on the walls of the gallery--an abandoned subway station. Artists were required to bring their own supplies, and had only one visit to start and complete their work for the show. For the full story (and a slideshow and video), check out the New York Times article by Jasper Rees. The official website for the project is under construction but worth keeping an eye out for.
