Galeri ArtScience Museum akan diduduki oleh sejumlah seniman jalanan terkemuka dunia dalam sebuah pameran inovatif bertajuk Art from the Streets. Selain mengurai riwayat Kesenian Jalanan selama 40 tahun – sejak awal kontrabudayanya hingga mengalami evolusi hebat menjadi bentuk kesenian kontemporer – pameran ini akan menghadirkan juga serangkaian lukisan yang dibuat langsung di tempat oleh sejumlah nama ikonis serta seniman jalanan baru yang sensasional, termasuk Felipe Pantone dari Spanyol, Eko Nugroho dari Indonesia, serta Speak Cryptic dan Yok & Sheryo dari Singapura. Sejumlah karya baru yang dibuat khusus untuk acara ini akan melukiskan vitalitas dan keragaman gerakan ini dan revelansinya pada masa sekarang.
Pameran ini menampilkan pula lukisan mural berskala besar, instalasi, video, cetakan, materi arsip, gambar, dan sketsa, serta melibatkan para seniman jalanan ternama dunia seperti Banksy, Shepard Fairey (alias Obey), Futura, Invader, JR, Blek le Rat, Swoon, dan Vhils.
Dikurasi oleh pakar kesenian jalanan dan pemilik galeri Magda Danysz, Art from the Streets mencerminkan evolusi kesenian jalanan, memetakan berbagai teknik artistik yang digunakan para seniman selama puluhan tahun, dan menunjukkan bagaimana teknologi menciptakan wadah ekspresi yang baru bagi para seniman.
Selain menghadirkan sejumlah nama yang mengemuka di lingkup internasional, Art from the Streets turut memberi tempat bagi kesenian urban di Asia Tenggara.
Para seniman yang terlibat:
Banksy, Tarek Benaoum, Stéphane Bisseuil, Blade, Crash, Speak Cryptic, D*face, Fab 5 Freddy, FAILE, Shepard Fairey (aka Obey), Futura, Invader, JR, L'Atlas, Ludo, M-City, Nasty, Eko Nugroho, Nunca, Felipe Pantone, Quik, Lee Quinones, Blek le Rat, Rero, Remi Rough, André Saraiva, Seen, Seth, Sten Lex, Tanc, Hua Tunan, Yok & Sheryo, YZ, Zevs, dan masih banyak lagi.
More than showing art from the streets within our spaces, we go a step further to have a programme of art on the streets, with new works by local and international artists being created for public spaces in the streets of Singapore. Speak Cryptic, Felipe Pantone, and Remi Rough, have been commissioned to take their works beyond the galleries of ArtScience museum, as part of the endeavour to reframe the public’s perception of Street Art, revealing a dynamic and energetic art movement in a constant state of flux.

Five graffiti artists took part in a live graffiti battle hosted by ArtScience Museum around the theme of ‘Sunset by the Bay’. Featuring SONG, REAPS, MIZNEK, ASMOE and ALOTONE, each had the same tools, colours available and 8 hours to complete their walls. Watch to see was the judges’ and crowd favourite.
