The YOUNG & FREE exhibition is set to be the biggest ever of it’s kind in America by showcasing the work of 13 very talented young Australian artists. It will be heading to San Francisco in September (and back to Australia early 2012)…
Artists include Anthony Lister, Kid Zoom, Ben Frost, Dabs & Myla, Dmote, Meggs, Rone, Reka, Sofles and Vexta. With sprays, stencils and paste-ups, the pieces in the YOUNG & FREE exhibition are as varied as the artists, their backgrounds, and themselves.
Opening on September 10th at 941 Geary Gallery in San Francisco.
"There are many similarities between Australia and San Francisco: both have famous bridges, internationally established street art cultures and, of course, trams. What is different is our beginnings. Australia’s criminal foundations have seeped into our national persona, Aussies are born with a spirit of rebellion. As the opening lines from our national anthem proclaim, ‘Australians all let us rejoice, for we are Young and Free.’…”
