From early 2009 to mid-2010, the Underbelly Project was the world's
best-kept urban art secret. This is the only book documenting the
project, during which the world's leading urban artists, such as
Swoon, Faile, Revok, and Lister, made late-night trips to an
abandoned New York City subway station, painting night after night
to transform the space into the largest underground art gallery in
the world.
When curators Workhorse and PAC declared the project finished,
there was no opening to show the work. In fact, the space's
location remains a secret kept by the MTA, which boarded up the
space, making it, like the cave of Lascaux, a time capsule for
future generations to discover.
The book includes three hundred photographs documenting the project
and the participating artists' stories of secret expeditions,
ranging from the hilarious to the suspenseful. With texts from
artists such as Dan Witz, Brian Campbell aka Elbow Toe, Jeff Soto,
Miya Ando, and Ron English, the result is an extraordinary
contribution to urban history and the annals of street art.
