Millo Sten and Lex Peeta Street Art in Italy 108 Zed1 Blu Blu “the Anonymous street art Genius” Blu is the pseudonym of an Italian artist who conceals(nasconde) his real identity. He was born in Senigallia. He lives in Bologna and has been active in street art since 1999. 108 108 was born in 1978. He has moved from working in traditional graffiti art to painting large and mysterious figures that invade public spaces. Sten and Lex Sten (born in Rome) and Lex (born in Taranto), are two Italian street artists who have been stenciling the streets since the 2000’s. Today their art is part of the urban landscape in London, Paris, New York, Barcelona and in their home town of Rome. Zed1 Born in Florence, Tuscany. Zed1 aka Marco Buressi’s artwork is characterized by a good dose of humor, a very unique visual language and a distinctive personal style. Peeta Peeta, aka Manuel Di Rita, has a been working as a graffiti artist since 1993 and is currently living in Venice. He has participated in multiple jams, festivals and art shows around the world over the years. Millo aka Francesco Camillo Giorgino Italian artist Francesco Camillo Giorgino, known as Millo, paints large-scale murals that feature friendly inhabitants exploring their urban setting. Banksy One of the greatest exponents of street art is Banksy. Banksy is an anonymous England- based graffiti artist, political activist and film director. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humor with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. Banksy Graffiti art on West bank Barrier. His works of political and social commentary have been featured(presentati) on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout(per tutto) the world. Banksy's work was born out of the Bristol underground scene which involved(coinvolse) collaborations between artists and musicians. Banksy mentions in his book Wall and Piece that as he was starting to do graffiti, he was always too slow and was either caught or could never finish the art in one sitting. So he devised(ideato) a series of intricate stencils to minimize time. Banksy was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist. Stencil Graffiti • Stencil graffiti is a form of graffiti that makes use of stencils made out of paper, cardboard, or other media to create an image or text that is easily reproducible. Stencils are traditionally hand drawn before being cut out, then the image is transferred to a surface through the use of spray paint or roll-on paint. Because of the secretive nature of Banksy's work and identity, it is uncertain(incerto) what techniques he uses to generate the images in the stencils. Murals A mural is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall. Some mural are painted on large canvases(tele), which are then attached to the wall. Murals are important in that they bring art into the public sphere. Murals are often used by totalitarian regimes as a tool of propaganda. Murals can have a dramatic impact on the attitudes(mentalità) of passers. Street Art as Protest Street art and graffiti have long been associated with political unrest(instabilità). From its inception(inizio) the very act of producing a piece of street art could be seen as a form of protest. • Street art is transient and temporary, and can be removed or dubbed(doppiata) over at any moment. This means it has to be bold(audace), eye-catching(accattivante) and have a sense of immediacy. It is designed to be accessible; street art offers a voice to the otherwise voiceless. Things have changed in recent decades. It has, to a degree, been assimilated into the art market and it’s more commercial. Pieces are frequently commissioned or completed with permission. The latest Banksy’s mural in New York However, even thought one of Banksy’s latest mural may have disappeared as quickly as it was thrown up, if it inspired others to make their own interventions and if it got people talking, then it can be considered a big political intervention art Street artist A street artist is a person who creates their art or craft in public, most usually on streets, for monetary reward(ricompensa). Some artists also sell their art or craft. Artists include portrait artists(ritrattisti), caricaturists, artists who replicate famous paintings on the street itself or on large canvases and many others The term 'street artist' is sometimes used more broadly(a grandi linee) to mean any persons involved in street performance or busking(suonare per strada). These include musicians, acrobats, jugglers, living statues, and street theatre performers Street artists receive monetary reward for their art or craft either by donations being given in a hat, bottle or can or by the selling of their art or craft to the public. Some jurisdictions consider the selling of street art as street trading which therefore(pertanto) requires a license.

It’s a way in which the artist can comunicate us freely and directly and this is wonderful because we can see and feel what the artist wants. We don’t think that it can be defined an act totally against the law because in a lot of cases the artist has the permission to create his own art. Instead we think that Street Art as any form of art, can communicatet very important messages in the most immediate way .

  • Culture Jamming: Ads Under Attack by Naomi Klein Bill Gates And
    Culture Jamming: Ads Under Attack By Naomi Klein Bill Gates and Microsoft aren't the only corporate giants suffering a backlash against their superbrands. Last month, computer hackers invaded Nike's Web site in the latest protest against the company's alleged sweatshop practices, redirecting visitors to a site concerned with "the growth of corporate power and the direction of globalization." Similar rants have been directed at McDonald's--from the student who waved a sign with the arch logo at the World Trade Organization protest in Seattle to the axe-wielding vandal--now a cultural hero--who tried to thwart the opening of a McDonald's in the tiny town of Millau, France. For their brilliance at building their brands, the marketers behind the likes of Nike, McDonald's, Wal-Mart and Starbucks now find themselves at the center of journalist Naomi Klein's avowed "next big political movement" in No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies from Picador/St. Martin's Press. Reporting everywhere from university campuses to garment factories in Third World countries, Klein depicts the encroachment of big-name brands on our daily lives, and the array of in- your-face counter-measures this has provoked among consumer advocates. One such measure is discussed in the chapter partially excerpted here: "culture jamming," the practice of parodying ads and hijacking billboards to drastically alter their messages. "Something not far from the surface of the public psyche is delighted to see the icons of corporate power subverted and mocked," Klein writes, offering up memorable examples of "adbusting" done to Absolut, Levi's, Ford, Exxon, Apple and others.

  • Is Street Art a Crime? an Attempt at Examining Street Art Using Criminology
    Advances in Applied Sociology 2012. Vol.2, No.1, 53-58 Published Online March 2012 in SciRes (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/aasoci) http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/aasoci.2012.21007 Is Street Art a Crime? 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. Keywords: Street Art; Definition; Criminology; Crime Theory; KÜF Project Introduction what it has to offer. The street artists, who use the technologies of the modern time to claim space, communicate ideas, and Art, in the general sense, is the process and/or product of de- express social and/or political views, have motivations and liberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses objectives as varied as the artists themselves.

  • Street Art Is Visual Art Created in Public Locations, Usually Unsanctioned Artwork Executed Outside of the Context of Traditional Art Venues
    Worksheet on Street Art Christine Röll What is street art? Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. Other terms for this type of art can be "urban art", "guerrilla art", "independent public art", "post-graffiti", and "neo-graffiti". Common forms and media can include spray paint graffiti, stencil graffiti (a form of graffiti that makes use of stencils made out of paper, cardboard, or other media to create an image or text that is easily reproducible), wheatpasted poster art (wheatpaste is a combination of flour, sugar, and water to put up a poster), sticker art, street installations, and sculpture. Street art is a form of artwork that is displayed in a community on its surrounding buildings, streets, and other publicly viewed surfaces. Many instances come in the form of guerrilla art, whose aim is to make a public statement about the society that the artist lives within. The work has moved from the beginnings of graffiti and vandalism to new modes where artists work to bring messages, or just simple beauty, to an audience. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_art Who is Banksy? Banksy is an anonymous England-based graffiti artist. His (or maybe her) satirical street art and subversive epigrams (short and interesting statements) combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. Banksy's works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.
