Theft At Tag The System

The other day we wrote about how cool we thought
the TAG THE SYSTEM show was here in New York. So we were saddened to hear that
on Wednesday afternoon, four people came into the Showroom NYC gallery and stole
one of the signature pieces from the show.

Klim, one of the
organizers of the project, writes in an email this morning -

“The piece belonged to our friends, artists MiQ willmOtt and THUY3. This piece has been their first collaboration as Husband and Wife. Not only is this a significant piece of artwork, it also represents tremendous sentimental value to the artists. Tag The System, Toy Tokyo and The Showroom NYC are committed to tracking down this original piece of artwork and returning it to the artists who created it. Also, as a one-of-a-kind original piece, anyone trying to trade, sell or otherwise display this piece should be noted and Tag The System, The Showroom NYC or Toy Tokyo should be alerted.”

 

A police report was filed with the NYPD and The
Showroom NYC and Drastic Plastic are offering a reward for the return of this
piece to the Gallery. If you have any information send it to
info@TagTheSystem.com.

An incredible amount of work went into TAG THE
SYSTEM. We do hope that the piece is
recovered and returned.  Here;s what
it looks like:
