Street Renegades New Underground Art

"The street has been at the heart of many groundbreaking visual subcultures for the past thirty years. However, there is now a emerging a new wave of artists who are moving in fresh directions beyond graffiti and street art. Frustrated by wholesale corporate theft of street creativity, these artists are employing different techniques in their work, different materials, different means of dissemination and different ways of getting their work noticed. Often using new materials - fly-tipped rubbish, street signs, children's toys, chalk, vinyl, perspex - these artists are subverting the three-dimensional streetscape to shock, educate, and entertain. This book documents the new art with photographs of the work and interviews with major players around the world."--BOOK JACKET.Gavin, Francesca is the author of 'Street Renegades New Underground Art', published 2007 under ISBN 9781856695299 and ISBN 1856695298.
