Presen­ted by Neo­chaEDGE and Jel­ly­mon, A Nice Set | Shang­hai will fea­ture slip­mat designs from inter­na­tional artists as well as the first show­ing of ori­ginal slip­mat designs from emer­ging Chinese artists. Fur­ther integ­rat­ing the music + art theme, a set of Aerial7 head­phones will receive a custom-design treat­ment by Chinese artists and dis­played at the exhibition.

The exhib­i­tion has already trav­elled to Singa­pore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Mel­bourne, Paris and Mad­rid, and brings together out­stand­ing artists from around the world with the freshest local visual tal­ents — and with the slip­mat being a DJ’s tool of the trade, you can bet there were some great tunes accom­pa­ny­ing each show.

A Nice Set is unique as it brings together a global cre­at­ive com­munity, par­tic­u­larly in street art, illus­tra­tion and design, but also engages with out­stand­ing cre­at­ive col­lect­ives in each city it touches down in — such as Neocha in China, AWE50ME and DOPE in Singa­pore. It’s a visual thread that now con­nects all the cit­ies it touches, and exposes people to the amaz­ing work being made by their peers around the world.

Keep an eye out, you don’t want to miss these sights and sounds when they hit your city!
