Allowing an insight into the creativity behind skate culture,
'Board' explores the evolution of deck graphics and design.
With
curatorial contribution from NGV Senior Curator of Contemporary
Art Alex Baker, Board features historically significant skateboard
decks drawn from the collection of Tony Hallam one of the
most comprehensive of its kind in the world, alongside a selection
of decks by contemporary artists.
In
conjunction with NGV Studio, Just
Another Agency has selected over 50 of Australia's best established
and emerging artists to take part in the group show 'Board'.
Juxtaposing
the old with the new, each artist has donated their time to produce
an original work of art using a skate deck as their canvas. These
decks will then be sold to help raise much needed funds for the
innovative ThreeSixtyProject.
