Exhibition
The Versus Project
As is well known, the first golden rule of Graffiti is “do not paint over other writers’ work”.
Started and curated by Munich-based art duo Layer Cake (consisting of Patrick Hartl and Christian “C100” Hundertmark), The Versus Project broke both the aforementioned rule and the physical distance that the whole world had to deal with in the years of the global pandemic.
The project features several international artists, all with different styles and techniques, who were asked to complete each other’s artworks by sending them back and forth till they were happy with the outcome.
The result is both a challenge and a collective experiment in communication, where each piece has a unique touch given to it by the distinct talent and personality of each artist involved.
The Versus Project is an ongoing and itinerant project. After the success of the first exhibition in 2021, URBAN NATION Museum was pleased to host Layer Cake duo again for its second edition in 2022, while the third chapter took place in Miami at The Museum of Graffiti in February 2023 bringing with it new collaborations.
