CRACK & SHINE
On Friday night I went to the excellent Cracked exhibition at the Mews of Mayfair, something of a cultural dichotomy to find this mischievous graffiti housed within the heart of London’s bourgeoisie shopping district, but thankfully it avoided any class clichés and was a nice space with dope work.
I also met Fred, the curator of the show and publisher of the book Crack & Shine, which is surprisingly the first in-depth look at the individuals and crews behind London’s burgeoning graf scene since the late 80s. Check back for a full review coming soon. As you can see it’s a handsome swine and though £30 might seem steep it’s sure to impress as a Christmas gift this year, that and a copy of the new issue of Bonafide, of course.
