GRL MANILA by PSP + MONOCHROME
Inspired by a 2010 meeting with artist group Graffiti Research Lab in Kyoto, Japan and Perth, Australia, where graffiti artists tried to practice on the spot graffiti or street interventions with the help of available technology, the Pilipinas Street Plan | Graffiti Research Lab project will be done for the first time in Bliss Market. On the evening of May 26 2012, PSP’s graffiti intervention will be presented together with a live musical performance by the band Monochrome.
