G40 - The Summit


Took me a while to post about this but we went to the G40 exhibit last friday over in Crystal City, Arlington, VA. It is housed in an office building taking over 5 floors. You start at the top and work your way down, each floor representing a different artist location, California, NY area, Metro DC, and Global. The lobby level is a lounge area with some live models, cool DJ and bar.

The style is sort of urban surreal described on the site as:
The mission of G40: The Summit is to bring the leaders of the New Brow genre
together in Crystal City, VA in an effort to explore, discuss and grow this
movement. G-40: The Summit will be a culmination of ideas and processes, brought
together and highlighted by region and style, creating, for the first time, a
full cross examination of this genre.

We really liked the California level complete with angry cartoon pandas. The range of artists is pretty amazing so hard to summarize but highly recommend. Prices are reasonable too.
