Activision hosts skateboarding exhibition

Activision has announced the launch of The Art of Skateboarding, a photography exhibition featuring the work of fashion photographer Tony Taglianetti.

The work, which features shots taken from prominent London locations - including the Westway, South Bank and Stockwell - will be displayed at the Second Space Gallery from Monday October 29 to Friday November 2.

The event has been set up to coincide with the launch of Activision's title Tony Hawk's Proving Ground, and product manager Gary Sims commented: "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."
