A story about art (thanks, Keith)

txt: comments on Drawing the Line – Keith Haring (1989) Part 1 of 3

I’m from Dutch Country in PA too. The thing I love about Haring the most is that he insisted that art was for the people–not just stuffy art critics and walls in museums. Such an injustice his premature death…

Turbine Street Art Hall

txt: Street artists to adorn Tate facade

Mark Brown, arts correspondent
Wednesday April 2, 2008
The Guardian

Tate Modern is to get a summer facelift, with a group of the world’s most acclaimed street artists being asked to produce work for the building’s Thames-side facade, it was announced yesterday.

It will be the first commission to use the facade and each artist will have an area of about 15×12 metres for the exhibition, entitled Street Art at Tate Modern.

Cedar Lewisohn, the exhibition’s curator, said he hoped the work, to be displayed between May and August, would open eyes to the variety of street art. “There is exciting stuff happening around the world and there is more to street art than just the household name or two we know in this country.”

Marc Schiller, co-founder of the Wooster Collective Web site, which exhibits photos of the best street art in the world, knows most people look straight past street art until they start looking for it. “Once you give them a doorway,” he said, “they literally go crazy in that they start to see New York has a whole other level of creativity that they had no idea existed.”

Now covered up unfortunately.

text: romanywg on youtube

This is Banksys latest street work on the Essex Road, London N1. I filmed the spot for 1 hour on 6th March 2008. It was interesting to note the diverse cross section of the local community that were interested in his work.
Unfortunately it is now covered with perspex to stop it being vandalised.
See for yourself. Now covered up unfortunately.

Another brick in the wall

txt: Diesel wall project – www.joshspear.com

The Diesel Wall Project is an opportunity for up-and-coming artists to have their work seen on a large scale by occupying one of four massive Diesel walls, housed in major cities around the world. This is a chance for aspiring artistic geniuses to be seen and enrich the lives of many with one simple or not so simple work of art. What are you waiting for? Well for starters, you’re probably waiting for the contest to start accepting submissions on March 31st, but other than that we recommend you get to work and check out the Diesel Wall website for your chance to make your mark in Barcelona, Manchester, New York, or Zurich. From there, who knows the places you’ll go?
