Mercury
Lounge has involved itself with World graffiti art movement
'Tag The System', showcasing Canadian urban art in connection
with the originators and other artists the world over.
Tag
The System, originating out of New York in late 2004, features
urban graffiti artist scaled impressions on 20-inch plastic
trains. The show has since expanded into something of a
movement beyond New York to London UK, San Francisco, Paris,
Tokyo and more. Pictures from the original show can be viewed
here
with such artists as Uglydolls, Pete Fowler, Hot Wheels
Grafx Team, Peter Goldman, Seen, James Jarvis, Jason Sui,
and Lady Pink.
The
exhibit at Mercury Lounge features internationally rising
artists from Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa including works
from Dixon, Berzerker, Labona, Rucifer, Stefan Thompson, Evoke
and more with new pieces being added every week. The exhibit
is the only Tag The System installation in Canada. Its current
success will continue the installation in Ottawa for several
more months.
