Neharika Gurung – Artists and Questions Use of photographic Images in Street art vs. Paste up, Mural, Stencil PASTE UP: A composition of light flat objects pasted onto a sheet of paper, board, or other backing, as: a. A layout of an image to be printed, such as a book cover. b. A collage. Examples of PASTE UP ARTISTS: Judith Supine, Ludo, Swoon STENCIL: a thin sheet of card, plastic, or metal with a pattern or letters cut out of it, used to produce the cut design on the surface below by the application of ink or paint through the holes. Examples of STENCIL ARTISTS: Banksy, Posterchild, Meek Mural: A very large image, such as a painting or enlarged photograph, applied directly to a wall or ceiling. Examples of MURAL ARTISTS: Shepard Fairey, Faile, Ezra Winter When we refer to photographic Images in Street art It usually comes under Paste ups and Posters art. But its not given a specific term. 3d digital art could also fall under this category. One of the few examples could be the works of Poster boy. Spending time with Posterboy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21iVQ0iXs 00 Sticker Art: Sticker art (also known as sticker bombing, sticker slapping, slap tagging, and sticker tagging) is a form of Street art in which an image or message is publicly displayed using stickers. These stickers may promote a political agenda, comment on a policy or issue, or comprise a subcategory of Grafitti.

  • Marketing Urban Art: a Case Analysis of the Exchange Project
    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.

I owe it all to you. To Asia: You put up with my various mental states and still willinging stick around. That says it all. Thank you for providing the rain to my glitter. To Nii Armah Sowah: African Dance is the best therapy I could have ever asked for in this process and in life. It kept me sane and gave me a space to live, learn, and dance. I am forever grateful for that. 1 The city is a monumental stage for thinkgs to “go on” because it perpertuates both a spatial relationship between its inhabitants and its symbolic structures and psycho- social relationship amoung its dwellers. These two perpertuations must be perturbed to wake up the city and to save it from the bad dreams of the present, the nightmares of the past, and the castastophes of the future. I would like to propose the possiblity of a design practice that would interrupt these processes and could eventually help to heal the city’s wounded psycho-social relations and its catastophic reality. 1 Krzysztof Wodiczko, Designing for the City of Strangers (1997) 1 Krzysztof Wodiczko, Transformative Avant-Garde and Other Writings (London, UK: Black Dog Publishing Limited, 2016), 121.

  • Female Graffiti Artists in a Gendered City
    GIRLS' NIGHT OUT: FEMALE GRAFFITI ARTISTS IN A GENDERED CITY Erin Gentry A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2008 Committee: Amy Bingaman, Advisor Maisha Wester ii ABSTRACT Amy Bingaman, Advisor Graffiti art is often thought of as a boys' subculture because it is seen as too dangerous and aggressive for girls to be involved. Despite this assumption, girls have been invested in graffiti art since its beginnings in the early 1970's, and continue to contribute to the subculture's development today. This thesis explores the often ignored position of female graffiti artists by looking both at the physical and the social spaces in which female graffiti artists work. The city is explored as a masculine space that is hostile to female graffiti artists. The subculture of graffiti is inhospitable as well, because female graffiti artists are often fetishized and objectified, and their talents are under constant scrutiny within the subculture. This thesis employs personal interviews with several female graffiti artists and then uses a cultural studies approach to develop an understanding of the position of females in graffiti. Finally, it explores the ways in which the hyper-masculine natures of both the city and the subculture have affected the subjectivities of female graffiti artists through a visual analysis of self-portraits of the artists. iii To all the girls in boys' clubs. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank CLAW, MISS 17, and SWOON for their valuable input, openness and willingness to help, without which this thesis would not exist.

  • 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.
