  • Street Art Rising Marshall Soules—[email protected]
    Vol 1 No 2 (Autumn 2020) Online: jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/nexj Visit our WebBlog: newexplorations.net Street Art Rising Marshall Soules—[email protected] This illustrated article discusses the various manifestations of street art—graffiti, posters, stencils, social murals—and the impact of street art on urban environments. Continuing perceptions of street art as vandalism contributing to urban decay neglects to account for street art’s full spectrum of effects. As freedom of expression protected by law, as news from under-privileged classes, as images of social uplift and consciousness-raising, and as beautification of urban milieux, street art has social benefits requiring re-assessment. Street art has become a significant global art movement. Detailed contextual history includes the photographer Brassai's interest in Parisian graffiti between the world wars; Cézanne’s use of passage; Walter Benjamin's assemblage of fragments in The Arcades Project; the practice of dérive (passage through diverse ambiances, drifting) and détournement (rerouting, hijacking) as social and political intervention advocated by Guy Debord and the Situationist International; Dada and Surrealist montage and collage; and the art of Quebec Automatists and French Nouveaux réalistes. Present street art engages dynamically with 20th C. art history. The article explores McLuhan’s ideas about the power of mosaic style to subvert the received order, opening spaces for new discourse to emerge, new patterns to be discovered. The author compares street art to advertising, and raises questions about appropriation, authenticity, and style. How does street art survive when it leaves the streets for galleries, design shops, and museums? Street art continues to challenge communication strategies of the privileged classes and elected officials, and increasingly plays a reconstructive role in modulating the emotional tenor of urban spaces.

  • Technology and Community: the Changing Face of Identity
    eTropic 17.2 (2018) ‘Tropical Imaginaries in Living Cities’ Special Issue | 83 Women on Walls: The Female Subject in Modern Graffiti Art Katja Fleischmann James Cook University Australia Robert H. Mann Writer Abstract Modern day wall art featuring women as subjects is usually painted by male artists, although women graffiti artists are challenging that male dominance and there are ample examples of their work on social media. The choice of women as subjects dates back to ancient Rome and Greece where idealized female images provided a template for desire, sexuality and goddess status. In modern times, wall artists present women as iconic subjects of power, renewal, and social commentary. Feminine graffiti appears to be idiosyncratic in its subject matter—the product of history, geography, culture and political discourse based on feminine power and influence. Although it is impossible to generalize stylistically about street artists, who are sui generis by their very nature–and wall art defies easy labelling–there are some patterns that are apparent when wandering city streets and encountering women subjects on walls. This photo-essay explores women who feature in wall art in open air galleries in Western Europe, South America and tropical Cuba and seeks to define female archetypes found in these examples. The historical antecedents to modern wall art are presented followed by specific examples of wall art featuring women; succinct interpretations are presented with each example. The journey takes us to Paris, Berlin and Venice, with a stopover in the small fishing town of Huanchaco, Peru, the colourful artistic hill city of Valparaiso, Chile and ends on the worn and tattered streets of tropical Havana, Cuba.

  • Lindsey Mancini Street Art's Conceptual Emergence
    30 NUART JOURNAL 2019 VOLUME 1 NUMBER 2 30–35 GRAFFITI AS GIFT: STREET ART’S CONCEPTUAL EMERGENCE Lindsey Mancini Yale School of Art Drawing primarily on contemporary public discourse, this article aims to identify a divergence between graffiti and street art, and to establish street art as an independent art movement, the examples of which can be identified by an artist’s desire to create a work that offers value – a metric each viewer is invited to assess for themselves. While graffiti and street art are by no means mutually exclusive, street art fuses graffiti’s subversive reclamation of space with populist political leanings and the art historically- informed theoretical frameworks established by the Situationists and Dadaism. Based on two founding principles: community and ephemerality, street art is an attempt to create a space for visual expression outside of existing power structures, weaving it into the fabric of people’s daily lives. GRAFFITI AS GIFT 31 AN INTRODUCTION (AND DISCLAIMER) Hagia Sophia in Turkey; Napoleon's troops have been Attempting to define any aspect of street art or graffiti described as defacing the Sphinx in the eighteenth century; may seem an exercise in futility – for, as is the case with and during World War II, cartoons featuring a long-nosed most contemporary cultural contexts, how can we assess character alongside the words ‘Kilroy was here’, began something that is happening contemporaneously and appearing wherever U.S. servicemen were stationed (Ross, constantly evolving? – but the imperative to understand 2016: 480).

  • For the Love of Spraying – Graffiti, Urban Art and Street Art in Munich
    Page 1 For the love of spraying – Graffiti, urban art and street art in Munich (21 January 2018) Believe it or not, Munich was a pioneer of the German graffiti scene. As the graffiti wave arrived from New York and swept through Europe during the early ‘80s, it was Munich that rode that wave even before Berlin. Some of today’s leading figures in the international graffiti scene were immortalised by their legally-painted murals in what was, at the time, the largest Hall of Fame in Europe on the flea market grounds on Dachauer Straße – though the thrill of illegal spraying was also of course a driving force behind the Munich scene. By the late 1990s, Munich was considered a mecca for graffiti artists, alongside New York. Today, there are several sites in Munich displaying a wide variety of urban art, and they have long been considered a boon to the city. Over the years, legends of the street art scene such as BLU, ESCIF, Shepard Fairey and Mark Jenkins have discovered Munich for themselves and, in collaboration with the Positive Propaganda e.V. art association, have used art to breathe new life into public spaces in the city. The first German museum of urban art, MUCA (Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art), doesn't just showcase celebrated artists, but also offers a stage for experimental formats. A whole range of forums, events and guided tours bring these contemporary, quirky, energy-charged art forms to life in Munich.

    Women on Walls | Engaging street art through the eyes of female artists Alix Maria Beattie Master of Research Thesis Western Sydney University 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I am truly thankful for the support and guidance of my supervisory panel, Dr Rachel Bentley and Professor Lynette Sheridan-Burns. In particular, my primary supervisor Rachel, who not only guided me through my research but offered an endless amount of support, critical engagement and general brainstorming driven by a love of street art. Lynette’s experience, words of encouragement and sharp red pen provided me with the right advice at the right time. I am also thankful to my artists: Mini Graff, Kaff-eine, Buttons, Vexta and Baby Guerrilla. They were generous in their time, thoughts, art, and passion. This work is only possible because of them. To all my lecturers throughout my Master of Research journey – particular Dr Jack Tsonis and Dr Alex Norman – who were tireless in their efforts, helping me become the writer and researcher I am today. Likewise, I want to thank Dominique Spice for creating such a supportive environment for all of us MRes students. To my fellow MRes students - Toshi and in particular Lucie and Beth (aka the awesome clams) – you are all, without doubt the best part of completing this research. Awesome clams, you provided continuous support and good humour –I truly thank you both.

  • Artprice by Artmarket Presents the Top 25 Street Artists: Banksy's Success
    Artprice by ArtMarket presents the Top 25 Street Artists: Banksy’s success in not a market anomaly With a new auction record of $12.2 million hammered at the beginning of October, street artist Banksy definitely stands out on the Art Market. But don’t forget that earlier this year, in April, Kaws – another artist from the graffiti scene – reached a new record of $14.8 million in Hong Kong. And what about Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring? Despite Banksy’s incognito status, Street Art is no longer an anonymous art form; who hasn’t heard of Sherpard Fairey (Obey) or Invaders? Who doesn’t know Stik’s little men? From the Berlin Wall to Wynwood (Miami), Street Art is not only tolerated by local authorities, it has become an attraction and even a ‘must-see’ for tourists. For the Art Market, the street has become a kind of hothouse incubator. thierry Ehrmann, founder /CEO of ArtMarket.com and its Artprice department: “Long considered an illegal practice, Street Art has become the height of luxury and is now collected by movie stars : Brad Pitt, Pharrell Williams, Leonardo DiCaprio. Basquiat sometimes repainted the walls of his friends' apartments… Who would complain about that today? It’s in the nature of man – and especially of political authorities – to complain first, and then, after observing the reactions of amateurs and professionals to finally accept. The Art Market is usually well ahead of public recognition. There’s an obvious parallel with the history of the Abode of Chaos, ArtMarket.com’s head office, which is following a similar path.

  • The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education Is Unprecedented, in Many Ways
    Un(precedent)ED The 30th Volume of The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education is unprecedented, in many ways. First the theme is unprecedented, or, rather, Un(predecedent)ED. This typographical wordplay, quite common throughout the history of JSTAE, troubles habitual readings of the term, allowing for interpretations that open up possibilities, however brief, for new forms of research, theorizing and artmaking. Unprecedented. Having no previous example.1 Un-presidented. The potential for shifts in power as Americans vote for a presidential candidate every four years. Unprecedented. The election of Barack Hussein Obama as 44th President of the United States (having no previous example). Un-precedent-ED. That which has no previous educational example. Un-ED. Uneducational. These are just a few of the interpretations of the volume theme, which each of the authors addresses in a unique manner. Some approach the theme head on, while others choose a more oblique angle of analysis and exploration. Some deal with unprecedented events and actions, while others discuss historical examples, analyzing the development of precedence in art educational practice, and offering suggestions for novel forms of research, pedagogy, and artmaking. Ed Check offers the reader a historically rich reading of class distinctions, in A National Labor Project: Recovering Unprecedented Numbers of Working Class Lives and Histories through Art. He discusses the lack of previous examples regarding class distinctions in art educational practice, while identifying possibilities for making these histories visible. His essay includes a number of strong images that speak to many aspects of working class life, and documentation of artwork that does the same.
