Skateboard exhibition at The Ghetto
On Sunday we went to The Ghetto, Tokyo's graffiti and skating central, to check out a skateboard exhibition featuring works mainly by Okinawan artists but also by some local artists such as QP.
After checking out the gallery space which was holding a different exhibition (morbid war photos of dead bodies), I asked the shop next door about the skateboard exhibition and they had heard nothing about it. Back downstairs we peeked in the closed restaurant ($1000000 raion) and saw that's where the action was taking place. The friendly people there opened up the place just so we could have a look!
Aside from the QP boards, there were many other interesting works. Personally I really liked the violin shaped one. It had two "DO NOT TOUCH!" notices on it. Most of the works were for sale.
And here are some photos in and out The Ghetto, which has been continuously changing since it opened.
Of course this business down the street couldn't escape a QP touch with such a logo....

Is the violin deck playable? jk. The street art outside the venue for the exhibit definitely sets the tone for the what to expect inside.
