NEW YORK – The Brooklyn gallery Mighty Tanaka is hosting a show featuring art from Robots Will Kill through Jan. 17.

The art site Robots Will Kill was built in 2001, initially to trade stickers, but it has become a website that exposes street art around the world. So far they have shown off the work of more than 800 international artists. This is the second year Mighty Tanaka has brought together a collection of artists who have collaborated with robotswillkill.com.

The core group of RWK (Chris, Kev/Psyn, Veng and OverUnder in the USA, ECB and Flying Fortress in Germany, Peeta in Italy, and JesseRobot in Belgium) has been joined by their friends Michael (coallus) Banks, Vincent REGA, Mike Die, Downtimer, Norm Morales, NoseGo, Evoker, El Toro, SINNED, Becki Fuller, Luna Park, Christopher Rini, Joe Iurato, BURN353, SEE ONE, Shai Dahan, Joe Russo, Abe Lincoln Jr., Royce Bannon, olive47, Cake, Eric “Phoneticontrol” Broers, MCA/Evil Design, Shawn “ako,” Whisenant, Lunartik, Disposable Hero.

“Working with RWK is always a pleasure,” says Alex Emmert, owner of the Mighty Tanaka Gallery in an email. “This group show demonstrates the range and diversity of artists that RWK have worked with. It is a refreshing departure from the street art world they are involved with and presents a different side to things. With work ranging from stencils and collage to photography and prints, there is something for everyone.” All of the work shown in the gallery is also available on the Mighty Tanaka website, mightytanaka.com. 111 Front St., Suite 224, Brooklyn. Hours: Wednesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m.
