In Plain Sight

Featuring the found work of C215, Elle, Faile, Gaia, Imminent Disaster, Jaye Moon, JR, Nick Walker, Paul Richard, R. Robot and Sweet Toof, In Plain Sight is the first exhibition of its kind to adopt the guerrilla tactics of a street artist in its curation.

Rather than trying to displace these inherently public works of art within a gallery setting, The Street Museum of Art coexists with the vibrancy of New York City’s urban environment.  

While the work included in this exhibition may be clearly visible to any pedestrian walking down the street, many remain unnoticed by the jaded eyes of New York City locals. Each piece has been cleverly positioned by the artists­ – hidden in plain sight, taunting those who pass by to stop and look. 

For a moment, through the scavenger-hunt-like exhibition experience unique to The Street Museum of Art, one can begin to imagine the artists on their search for the ideal urban canvas.

As The Street Museum of Art’s inaugural exhibition, In Plain Sight is an illegal guide to Williamsburg, Brooklyn through the lens of a street artist – offering a new way to view the city and acting as a catalyst for future public street art exhibitions.
