May Lane Art Project
May Lane Art Project is an outdoor gallery space located in St Peters in Sydney’s inner west. The project is an initiative set in place by Tugi Balog, who runs his business behind the gallery wall.
The exhibition space consists of five panels that are hung in window spaces along the side of a building in May Lane. Each month several artists are invited to use the entire space as their canvas, or to focus on the panels which are then kept each month as part of a larger documentation project.
If you have been involved in any way with the Australian Hip-Hop scene you definitely will have come across the talent that is Mistery. Whether it was listening to him MC, watching him Break or checking out his Graf work, since the 80’s, Mistery has been someone to admire for his skill in each of the Hip-Hop Elements (and hes a top bloke to boot!).
Mistery and his crew will be the next to use May Lane. “Australia has one of the oldest histories in wall painting – with the indigenous Australians having work dating back many thousands of years and from this we learn much of their history. In fact archeologists have learned a great deal by study of a country’s Graffiti – I wonder what their conclusion would be if they discovered us (the work of Australian Graffiti Artists) thousands years down the track?” – Mistery, 2008.
