House of Paper presents an exhibition of illustrations, paintings, photography and 3d work from international and local artists celebrating Mexico’s traditional ’Day of the Dead’.

Although not a street-art-centric exhibition, it does feature a few artists involved in street-level stuff. Notably French artist Kashink and Bristol-based Haka. That aside, it is well worth checking out. The exhibition opened last night (27th October) and runs until the 6th November.

The new Friend & Co gallery opened its doors on the 23 October with a group show featuring work from Eine, Mudwig, Xenz, Mr Jago and Will Barras. And although the weather wasn’t up to the occasion, the turn out was excellent. In fact the gallery was so packed it was almost difficult to properly view the artwork itself, which gives me a good excuse to go back on a quieter day.
