Kings of New York Volume 7 - Tag The System Toy Tokyo Show

via - StrangeCo:
The Tag The System show follows the path successfully cut by Toy2R and Kidrobot with their respective Qee and Dunny exhibitions, in which a blank production-ready toy platform is customized by a variety of artists to make one-of-a-kind art pieces. Tag The System's built-in overarching theme brought an added relevance to this formula, in which the design object, the artist selection and the concept worked toward the same end: a celebration of subway art, with heavy participation by NYC street artists, painted on the 20-inch miniature subway trains created by Klim K. of Drastic Plastic. Think of it as the alternative celebration marking the 100th anniversary of the New York City's subway system.
Over 150 artists participated in the show, with one entire wall dedicated to NYC writers both veteran and emerging. A diverse group of artists from other contemporary art and toy spheres contributed as well, ranging from James Jarvis and Maharishi to the Ron English and Hot Wheels Graphics Team. The results were phenomenal, showing a wide range of diversity and inspiration. Opening night was an invite-only, complete with spotlights and an open bar in the restaurant downstairs.
