How did skateboarding become a culture, and how did it sublimate into art? This exhibition traces the trajectory of skateboarding.

Skateboarding is attracting increasing attention due to its adoption as an event in international sports festivals and the success of Yuto Horiyone. The reason why a sport that was once started by surfers has become so popular is because of its close ties to street culture.

This exhibition is a perfect opportunity to delve into the cultural aspects of skateboarding. The "Skateboarding.UNDER RIf the "Boo-Hooray GalleryTogether with "The Skateboard CULT is a CURTURE.

This exhibition traces the trajectory of skateboarding from the 1970s to the 2000s, when skateboarding became a passionate street culture that expanded into a variety of artistic expressions such as photographs, zines, flyers, and posters.

The exhibition features works by Mark Gonzalez, Larry Clark, Ed Templeton, Tobin Yelland, and other well-known artists. In addition, zines and flyers from unknown artists and the underground scene will be on display to give visitors a sense of the atmosphere of the time.

The exhibition was curated by Johan Kugelberg, who runs the Boo Hooley Gallery and is also a book and zine editor. He is known as a key figure in skate culture, having established the world's largest collection of skateboard zines at Emory University in Atlanta, USA, in 2017.

Johan Kugelberg will be attending the reception on Friday, March 13, so fans should not miss it!
