CHILE: Streetart Santiago – Barrio Bellavista – Bombero Nuñez 274 – Fantastic Galería BOMB

The Galería BOMB was a place that sought to publicize streetart and its artists who remain outside traditional spaces but are present throughout the city of Santiago de Chile. Unfortunately it only existed from 2009 till 2010, but great works have been created and shown during that short period. The idea of the gallery was to have a space similar to a piece of street rather than a traditional gallery. That’s why a lot of creations were not only done on the façades around, but also inside.
