Street and Graffiti Art Movement Overview | TheArtStory Graffiti, defined simply as writing, drawing, or painting Graffiti and Street Art walls or surfaces of a structure, dates back to prehistoric and ancient times, as evidenced by the Lascaux cave paintings in France and other historic findings Graffiti and Street Art the world. Scholars believe that the images of hunting scenes found at these sites were either meant to commemorate past hunting victories, or were used as part of rituals intended to increase hunters' success. During World War II, it became popular for soldiers to write the phrase "Kilroy was here," along with a simple sketch of a bald figure with a large nose peeking over a ledge, on surfaces along their route. The motivation behind this simple early graffiti Graffiti and Street Art to create a motif of connection for these soldiers during their difficult times, cementing their unique brotherhood amongst foreign land and to make themselves "seen. Contemporary or "hip-hop" graffiti dates to the late s, generally said to have arisen from the Black and Latino neighborhoods of New York City alongside hip-hop music and street subcultures, and catalyzed by the invention of the aerosol spray can. Early graffiti artists were commonly called "writers" or "taggers" individuals who write simple "tags," or their stylized signatures, with the goal of tagging as many locations as possible. Indeed, the fundamental Graffiti and Street Art principle of graffiti practice was Graffiti and Street Art intention to "get up," to have one's work seen by as many people as possible, in as many places as possible. The exact geographical location of the first "tagger" is difficult to pinpoint. Some sources identify New York specifically taggers Julio and Taki of the Washington Heights areaand others identify Philadelphia with tagger Corn Bread Graffiti and Street Art the point of origin. Yet, it goes more or less undisputed that New York "is where graffiti culture blossomed, matured, and most clearly distinguished itself from all prior forms of graffiti," as Eric Felisbret, former graffiti artist and lecturer, explains. Soon after graffiti began appearing on city surfaces, subway cars and trains became major targets for New York City's early graffiti writers and taggers, as these vehicles traveled great distances, allowing the writer's name to be seen by a wider audience. The subway rapidly became the most popular place to write, with many graffiti artists looking down upon those who wrote on walls. Sociologist Richard Lachmann notes how the added element of movement made graffiti a uniquely dynamic art form. He writes, "Much of the best graffiti was meant to be appreciated in motion, as it passed through dark and dingy stations or on Graffiti and Street Art tracks. Photos and graffiti canvases cannot convey the energy and aura of giant artwork in Graffiti and Street Art. Graffiti on subway cars began as crude, simple tags, but as tagging became increasingly popular, writers had to find new ways to make their names stand out. Over the next few years, new calligraphic styles were developed and tags turned into large, colorful, elaborate pieces, aided by the realization that different spray can nozzles also referred to as "caps" from other household aerosol products like oven cleaner could be used on spray paint cans to create varying effects and line widths. It did not take long for the crude tags to grow in size, and to develop into artistic, colorful pieces that took up the length of entire subway cars. By the s, the city of New York viewed graffiti's inherent vandalism as a major concern, and a massive amount of resources were poured into the graffiti "problem. The Metropolitan Transit Authority MTA received a significant increase in their budget inallowing them to erect more sophisticated fences Graffiti and Street Art to better maintain the train yards and lay-ups that were popular targets for writers due to the possibility for hitting several cars at once. However, writers saw these measures as a mere challenge, and worked even harder to hit their targets, while also becoming increasingly territorial and aggressive toward other writers and "crews" groups of writers. Inthe MTA launched its Clean Car Program, which involved a five-year plan to completely eliminate graffiti on subway cars, operating on the principle that a graffiti-covered subway car could not be put into service until all the graffiti on it had been cleaned off. This program was implemented one subway line at a time, gradually pushing writers outward, and by many of the city's lines were completely clear of graffiti. Lieutenant Steve Mona recalls one day when the ACC crew hit cars in a yard at Graffiti and Street Art Island, assuming that the MTA wouldn't shut down service and that the graffitied trains would run. Yet the MTA Graffiti and Street Art to not provide service, greatly inconveniencing citizens who had to wait over an hour for a train that morning. That was the day that the MTA's dedication to the eradication of graffiti became apparent. However graffiti was anything but eradicated. In the past few decades, this practice has spread around the world, often maintaining elements of the American wildstyle, like interlocking letterforms and bold colors, yet also adopting local flare, such as manga-inspired Street Art in Japan. Graffiti and Street Art is important to note that contemporary graffiti has developed completely apart from traditional, institutionalized art forms. Art critic and curator Johannes Stahl writes that, "We have long since got accustomed to Graffiti and Street Art art history as a succession of epochs [ Modern graffiti did not begin as an art form at all, but rather, as a form of text-based urban communication that developed its own networks. As Lachmann notes, rather than submitting to the criteria of valuation upheld by the institutionalized art world, early graffiti writers developed an entirely new and separate art world, based on their own "qualitative conception of style" and the particular "aesthetic standards" developed within the community for judging writers' content and technique. During the late s and early s, many graffiti writers began to shift away from text-based works to include imagery. Around the same time, many artists also began experimenting with different techniques and materials, the most popular being stencils and wheat paste posters. Since the turn of the millennium, this proliferation has continued, with Graffiti and Street Art using all sorts of materials to complete illegal works in pubic spaces. The myriad approaches have come to be housed under the label of "Street Art" sometimes also referred to as "Urban Art"which has expanded its purview beyond graffiti to include these other techniques and styles. The term "graffiti" comes from the Greek "graphein," meaning "to scratch, draw, or write," and thus a broad definition Graffiti and Street Art the term includes all forms of inscriptions on walls. More specifically, however, the modern, or "hip-hop" graffiti, that has pervaded city spaces since the s and s involves the use of spray paint or paint markers.

  • Street Art & Graffiti in Belgrade: Ecological Potentials?
    SAUC - Journal V6 - N2 Emergence of Studies Street Art & Graffiti in Belgrade: Ecological Potentials? Srđan Tunić STAW BLGRD - Street Art Walks Belgrade, Serbia [email protected], srdjantunic.wordpress.com Abstract Since the emergence of the global contemporary graffiti and street art, urban spaces have become filled with a variety of techniques and art pieces, whether as a beautification method, commemorative and community art, or even activism. Ecology has also been a small part of this, with growing concern over our environment’s health (as well as our own), disappearing living species and habitats, and trying to imagine a better, less destructive humankind (see: Arrieta, 2014). But, how can this art - based mostly on aerosol spray cans and thus not very eco-friendly - in urban spaces contribute to ecological awareness? Do nature, animal and plant motifs pave a way towards understanding the environment, or simply serve as aesthetic statements? This paper will examine these questions with the example of Belgrade, Serbia, and several local (but also global) practices. This text is based on ongoing research as part of Street Art Walks Belgrade project (STAW BLGRD) and interviews with a group of artists. Keywords: street art, graffiti, ecology, environmental art, belgrade 1. Introduction: Environmental art Art has always been connected to the natural world - with its Of course, sometimes clear distinctions are hard to make, origins using natural materials and representing the living but for the sake of explaining the basic principles, a good world.

Source : Inhabitat.com (blog) 18/6/2008 : Reverse Graffiti Project, Paul Curtis, aka. Moose, San Francisco https://inhabitat.com/reverse-graffiti-san-francisco/11817/ You may remember Paul Curtis aka “Moose” from our coverage of Reverse Graffiti in the UK last year; we’re excited to announce that the Reverse Graffiti team recently teamed up with the eco cleaner brand GreenWorks to create a clean, green, 140 foot mural on the walls of San Francisco’s Broadway tunnel. The artist scraped through the grit and grime of the tunnel walls to reveal a stunning portrait of a lusher San Francisco, transforming the dingy tunnel sidewalls into a flourishing forest of native plants, providing an inverse reflection of how the site may have looked 500 years ago. San Francisco’s Broadway Tunnel sees over 20,000 cars, trucks and motorized vehicles each day. As a result, “Its walls are caked with dirt and soot, and lined with patches of paint covered graffiti from days gone by.” Curtis approached the project with dozens of stencils, a high-pressure stream of water, and eco-friendly cleaning solutions provided by GreenWorks. We found it especially weird (but sort of sweet and inspiring) to see a giant traditional company like Clorox supporting renegade eco street art. Nevertheless, the fit between the sponsor bran (a cleaner company) and the project (a public street-art cleaning project is undeniably perfect. We hope to see more forward thinking companies likeGreenWorks take the lead in supporting innovative public art projects in the future.

    Mlle Bourgeoise Noire and her Master of Ceremonies arrive for her 25th Anniversary celebration at precisely 9:00 p.m. They have dificulty entering (their names having been omitted from the guest list at the door). After a few peremptory commands by Mlle Bourgeoise Noire, they are let in, passing through the tight pink maze especially designed by artist David Hammons and featuring three salt ish hanging from hooks. At last they can greet the crowds awaiting them. Oohs and aahs on all sides for Mlle Bourgeoise Noire’s gown. After all these years, it still its. She smiles, she smiles, she smiles. Mlle Bourgeoise Noire has lost none of the charm that originally won her crown. Each of her nine tails has three white chrysanthemums, which she gives to her subjects one at a time as she says, while smiling brightly, “Won’t you help me lighten my heavy bouquet?” She moves gradually around the room. Photographers and video cameramen are having a ield day. Mlle Bourgeoise Noire, in her 180 pairs of white gloves, white cat-o- nine-tails, and rhinestone and seed pearl crown, is very photogenic. Unreluctantly, she obliges them. But Mlle Bourgeoise Noire has had a change of heart between 1955 and 1980. She has come to a conclusion. As the band goes on its break, she discreetly retires. All her flowers have been given away, and now she removes her cape, handing it to her Master of Ceremonies. She is wearing a backless, white-glove gown. Her , by prearranged signal, hands her a pair of above-the-elbow gloves, which she proceeds to put on.

  • La Creatividad Como Forma De Identidad Y Ejercicio De Ciudadanía
    LA CREATIVIDAD COMO FORMA DE IDENTIDAD Y EJERCICIO DE CIUDADANÍA. El caso del postgraffiti. Dr. Jesús Alberto Peredo Pozos 46 Arq. Melissa Guadalupe Retamoza Ávila 47 PALABRAS CLAVE: Postgraffiti, identidad, creatividad, ciudadanía. Resumen Dentro de los diversos fenómenos socio-urbanos contemporáneos, los que corresponden a la contracultura son algunos de los que tienen mayor impacto y participación específica en la esfera pública. Estas formas de cohabitar un territorio supone, en la mayoría de los casos un rechazo sistemático generalizado, tanto por la irrupción al orden establecido, como por su condición emergente y sus lenguajes novedosos, codificados y transgresores con que se manifiestan. A pesar de que los sectores sociales oficialmente válidos no reconocen de una forma abierta su autenticidad e importancia para el autoconocimiento social y territorial, la permanencia de estas formas subversivas de habitar la ciudad, habla de una fuerza que construye tanto identidades como patrimonio e imaginarios al paso del tiempo. Ejemplo de lo anterior, podría ser el fenómeno graffiti surgido en los años 70 del pasado siglo, que luego de haber sido objeto de persecución policiaca, al paso de los años algunas de éstas obras han llegado a otorgar una suerte de identidad comunitaria o patrimonio urbano insospechado. Este sería el caso de las intervenciones del denominado “padre del graffiti” Taki 183, a quien en la actualidad le dedican homenajes, retrospectivas, exposiciones y hasta la protección o conservación de las pocas intervenciones que aún persisten dentro del Area Metropolitana de Nueva York. Años después se han replicado fenómenos alrededor del mundo como el caso del artista inglés Banksy, que ha llegado a conmocionar tanto a las autoridades como a corredores de arte y ciudadanos de todo el mundo.

An Attempt at Examining Street Art Using Criminology Zeynep Alpaslan Department of Sociology, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey Email: [email protected] Received February 1st, 2012; revised February 29th, 2012; accepted March 13th, 2012 A clear and basic definition is the fundamental element in understanding, thus explaining any social sci- entific concept. Street art is a social phenomenon, characterized by its illegal nature, which social scien- tists from several subjects have increasingly been examining, interpreting and discussing for the past 50 years. Even though the concept itself has been defined much more clearly over the years, its standing concerning whether it is a crime or form of art is still a borderline issue. This paper attempts to first try to define street art under a type of crime, then examine it using criminological perspective, with crimino- logical and deviance theories in order to understand and explain it better using an example, the KÜF Pro- ject from Ankara Turkey.

  • Stencilling-Anushka
    Questions How did stencilling begin ? When was it first seen as an art form in the streets? Who are the artists currently employing it ? What is Stencilling? Stencil graffiti makes use of stencils made out of paper, cardboard, or other media to create an image or text that is easily reproducible. The desired design is cut out of the selected medium and then the image is transferred to a surface through the use of spray paint or roll- on paint. Often the stencils express political and social opinions of the artist, or are simply images of pop culture icons. By Golan Levin, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania How did stencilling begin? When was it first seen as an art form in the streets? Those who began stencilling may have had many motivations. It is a cheap and easy method to produce a message. Because stencils are prepared ahead of time, and spraying (or rolling) over them is quite quick, a street artist can make a detailed piece in seconds. Since the stencil stays uniform throughout its use, it is easier for an artist to quickly replicate what could be a complicated piece at a very quick rate. The stencil graffiti subculture has been around since the mid 60s to 70s and evolved from the freestyle graffiti seen in the New York City subways and streets. Social turmoil ruled the United States in the 1970s, which gave rise to anti-establishment movements. Punk rock bands, such as Black Flag and Crass, and punk venues would stencil their names and logos across cities and became known as symbols to the punk scene.
