Gucci Mane-Inspired Artwork Curated from Tumblr to be Displayed In New York

A series of Gucci Mane-inspired artworks curated from Tumblr is slated to be shown during a display in New York.

According to HotNewHipHop, the display, properly titled "The Burrprint," will be shown on Monday (Aug. 10) at Villain in Brooklyn.

"The Burrprint" will feature work including photos from Cam Kirk, who set up his own Guwop exhibit in an abandoned East Atlanta church back in May.

"It's going to be more of an installation...it's not going to be strictly about my photography. I've got actors in there; they're going to play certain roles when you walk in," Kirk said of his previous work. "So it's going to take shape of like a haunted house feeling, where you walk in and there are different things to experience. It should feel like you literally walked in to the house of the Trap God."

No word on the special perks of this exhibit, but viewers can expect to see art by Yung Jake, Distortedd, Robert Gallardo and Tre Reising, among others.

The event will also feature music from 808 Mafia producer TM88.

In July, a tweet was sent from Gucci Mane's Twitter account announcing that the "Lemonade" rapper would tour 20 cities along with some friends, presumably following his release from prison.

A month prior, reports hit the net indicating that Gucci would complete his bid and would be released on July 11. His lawyer, Drew Findling, shot down speculation, telling MTV News that the recent update was not true.

"We do not know where that rumor came from, so that's just Internet and social media fabrication," Findling said. "We have no idea where that release date came from because we're still in the midst of resolving things with the Bureau of Prisons. There was some confusion on their part, about his release date."

Gucci Mane has been incarcerated since September 2013.
