New York, during the mid-1980′s, was an amazing time for graffiti writers. Trains were an open canvas and styles were running in abundance. TC-5 was one of the main crews at the forefront of this thriving graffiti scene. Crew president SEEN shaped the crew with some of the freshest writers of his generation such as BEAM, JUICE, DOZE, DOC, LADY PINK, as well as expanding the crew primarily from the Bronx into a true All-City force. TC-5 rocked the number and letter lines hard with some of the freshest cars pulled out on the NYC Subway system, and has continued to push the boundaries of contemporary letter and character styles over the past 30 years.The artshow, in Montreal for one night only, shall turn into a party until the early morning. Well established and respected Montreal club DJ’s Truspin, Maysr and Sagewondah are on the bill as selectors for the night.
September 5th and 6th, all day at 1825 Cabot (Papiers MPC, Ville-Émard), the immense outdoor murals will be painted. Forty artists from Paris, Toronto, Puerto Rico, Boston and Montreal will join the members of TC5 crew for the second part of the weekend. Photographer Ulysse Lemerise (yulphoto.ca) will be documenting the project.
