This is a selection of works by five authors whose roots are in the domestic graffiti scene. Their paths and ways of expression vary, but they combine both originality, community respect and, above all, the fact that they have managed to cross the border between street and gallery working.

The center of gravity of the project is painting, but work on paper or objects also appears in the exposition. The selection is conceived so that each of them is represented by a distinctive position that will not be repeated in others, whether it is focused on writing, geometric abstraction or cartoons. The name of the show is a language game combining a community label for a group of writers who work together - a crew and a widespread medical term in Czech language. The blood (in Czech „krev“ is similary to pronunciation of the word crew)  picture is a total blood test that detects the proportions of its individual components. Similarly, the exhibition consists of a set of mutually separate author presentations, but together, the idea is at least a partial "picture" of how graffiti can be projected into contemporary art.
