The Art of Skateboarding Exhibition

If you’re in London later this month, be sure to drop by The Second Space Gallery, which will be hosting The Art of Skateboarding photo exhibition to celebrate the launch of Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground. The exhibition will run from October 29 through November 2 and will feature photographs from Tony Taglianetti, fashion photographer and skateboarder. It will focus on telling the stories of London skateboarders and their favorite tricks and the different kinds of skateboarding personalities, also found in the game itself.

“Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground lets players choose their own path as a skater, so that they can tell the world who they are,” commented Gary Sims, Brand Manager, Activision. “This art exhibition will take that concept and bring it to life outside of the game, allowing skaters to tell their own story for the first time. It’s not often that games and art come together in any meaningful way, so we’re particularly excited about this project.”

The gallery is located at 117 Redchurch Street, London, E2. Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground will be out on PS2, PS3, Wii, DS and Xbox 360 on November 2.
