On Saturday, I was invited by the wonderful team at Station 16 to visit Permanence, a one-night exhibition held at Montreal's hot new Space 27 Gallery. Showcasing close to a hundred works (both limited edition and original art) by Canadian and international street artists, the exhibition aimed to contrast the ephemeral nature of street art with the permanence of collectible art.
Works by Banksy, Roadsworth, Army of One, Mario Wagner, WIA, Stikki Peaches, Labrona, Omen, Zilon and several others were presented. There was an amazing energy to the evening – and I was lucky to have the chance to meet the artists who shape our urban landscape.
