    Marketing Urban Art: A Case Analysis of the Exchange Project Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Master of Science degree in Arts Administration Philip Asbury Candidate for Master’s in Arts Administration Drexel University June 2009 i Table of Contents Section Page Abstract i Problem Statement 1 Literature and Background 3 Definitions 7 Procedure 10 Limitations 10 Body-Marketing Urban Art: The Exchange Project 12 Figure1: List of Participating Artists 18 Case Study: The Exchange Project and Tour 19 Summary 29 Conclusion 33 Bibliography 36 ii Abstract The Exchange is an interactive project that promotes a sharing of stylistic influences amongst a select group of urban artists. The project is web-based but it also mounted a four city tour in 2007. As scholarly research is very limited in the genre, this study was an attempt to gather the few existing sources, general information, and first hand knowledge of the author, a participant in the Exchange. The result is a look at the best practices in marketing urban art. The financial details of the Exchange were unable to be included. The author recommends that urban artists partner with organizations that share a similar mission and to focus on viral marketing. i Problem Statement Urban art is a new genre of art that is still in its developing stages. Though the market for urban art is growing rapidly, how to market urban art work has largely gone unstudied and undocumented. This study will document the Exchange, a collaborative visual art project involving 13 international “urban artists”. In this process, special attention will be focused on the marketing tools and strategies employed by the Exchange as well as their effectiveness.

    Sticker Culture Project JANUARY 2016 #01 JANUARY 2016 #01 How would you define Flatt? A boy perfectly normal, who studies in Barcelona and dedicates part of his free time placing stic- kers and making projects related with graffiti with a kind of crew named SATO. The name of Flat derives from Flatiron, that it is the name which I decided to use as signature. The name comes from the famous skyscraper of New York, when I was fifteen years old I began using this name because I was hallucinated with architecture 01 Sticker Culture Project JANUARY 2016 #01 How did all begin? How long have you been with this? Since I began secondary school I was already observed the tags and when I was gone to Barcelona I was hallucinated with stencil walls and other. In that time they had already deleted a large part of the mythical pieces, but around Boqueria had still rest of artists like Invader, BToy, Pez, Kenor, D*Fa- ceorThe London Police. I loved all of this, but I didnt’t know very well what was it. A partner of the School one day brought a book of graffiti and street art, in this book appeared several photots of DavidtheChimp. He inspired me with his style and his harmony with the urban environment, and then I re- searched into his work and other artists. Most of the people who were spent their time in Street art were used stickers and all of them or practi- cally were flickr users. So about one week later I bought adhesive papers and I did several stickers at home.

  • Street Art As a Medium for Political Discourse in the Post-Soviet Region
    THE SPRAY CAN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: STREET ART AS A MEDIUM FOR POLITICAL DISCOURSE IN THE POST-SOVIET REGION A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Russian and East European Studies By Alexis M. Zimberg, B.A. Washington, DC May 1, 2012 ! Copyright 2012 by Alexis M. Zimberg All Rights Reserved ! ii! THE SPRAY CAN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: STREET ART AS A MEDIUM FOR POLITICAL DISCOURSE IN THE POST-SOVIET REGION Alexis M. Zimberg, B.A. Thesis Advisors: Alison L. Hilton, PhD and Harley Balzer, PhD ABSTRACT! ! In authoritarian states, opposition movements and members of civil society lack unrestricted and uncensored access to the mainstream media and subsequently to the public sphere. As a result, those wishing to express their political sentiment or influence public discourse are forced to seek out alternative avenues of expression. An anonymous and untraceable art, graffiti freely criticizes everything that the mainstream media does not and perhaps cannot. Graffiti reclaims the corporate-dominated public space as a place for sharing banned information, promoting ignored causes, discussing society’s ills, and even mobilizing the public for a certain aim. An art of satirical discourse, graffiti anonymously communicates the frank narrative of a city, uninhibited by official censors. This research project analyzes contemporary graffiti not only as a popular public aesthetic, but also as a mouthpiece of political sentiment. This paper explores the use of graffiti and street art within the post-Soviet region and post- Communist Europe.

  • Hip Hop Art (Street Art / Graffitti)
    HIP HOP ART (STREET ART / GRAFFITTI) 1. Hip Hop Hip-hop is a form of popular culture which started among young black people in the United States in the 1980s. It includes rap music and graffiti art (including writing) and breakdance. Keith "Cowboy" Wiggins, a member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, has been credited with coining the term in 1978 while teasing a friend who had just joined the US Army by scat singing the made-up words "hip/hop/hip/hop" in a way that mimicked the rhythmic cadence of marching soldiers. Cowboy later worked the "hip hop" cadence into his stage performance. 2. Street art Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. Common forms and media include spray paint graffiti, stencil graffiti, wheatpasted poster art, sticker art, street installations, and sculpture. Video projection has also gained some popularity near the turn of the 21st century. Street art is a form of artwork that is displayed in a community on its surrounding buildings, streets, trains, and other publicly viewed surfaces. Many instances come in the form of guerrilla art, which is composed to make a public statement about the society that the artist lives within. Slogans of protest and political or social commentary graffitied onto public walls are the precursor to modern graffiti and street art, and continue as one aspect of the genre. Some credit the “Kilroy Was Here” graffiti of the World War II era as one such early example. As the 1980s progressed, a shift occurred from text-based works (writing) of early in the decade to visually conceptual street art such as Hambleton’s shadow figures.
