Tools of the Trade Exhibition

Tools of the Trade (TOTT) frames the history of street art and graffiti through the lens of the tools that artists use to create their work. It is an attempt to highlight the wide range of tools used throughout street art history, their evolution, and the ingenuity of the artists that make and use them. Art Too’s TOTT Pop-up was a special edition of TOTT that recreates the studio spaces of the 3 featured artists of the Art Too celebration; giving the audience a more intimate view of the conditions and environments surrounding the artists and their unique artistic styles.

Tools of the Trade (TOTT) 塗鴉工具展以藝術工具的發展，呈現街頭藝術及塗鴉的歷史。 我們希望展示塗鴉歷史中有趣而大眾化的工具，從而突出街頭藝術家在時代變遷中如何演化出獨特的技巧與個性。Art Too 的 TOTT Pop-up 是該塗鴉工具展的特別版本，當中再現了 Art Too 藝術節的 3 位特色藝術家的工作室空間；讓觀眾近距離地了解藝術家身處的環境以及他們獨特的藝術風格。
