Download or read book Graffiti Murals written by Patrick Verel and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six case studies, conducted in New York City, Trenton, and Jersey City, explore how graffiti murals are created and what role they play in cities where buffing illegal graffiti is a lucrative business. The author interviewed people affected on a daily basis by the murals at sites around the metropolitan area, including property owners who have welcomed the muralists in hopes that the artwork would serve as a deterrent to vandalism--and provide a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to buffing. This analysis, informed by cultural Marxism and supported by street photography, suggests a radical departure from traditional New York City policy: instead of spending money exclusively on the elimination of illegal graffiti, resources should also be devoted to the creation of graffiti murals. In the end, graffiti removal teams and mural promoters are pursuing the same goal: making the city a more visually appealing place.

Book Synopsis Revolution Graffiti by : Mia Gröndahl
Download or read book Revolution Graffiti written by Mia Gröndahl and published by Amer Univ in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Egyptian Revolution that began on 25 January 2011 immediately gave rise to a wave of popular political and social expression in the form of graffiti and street art, phenomena that were almost unknown in the country under the old regime. Mia Gröndahl, the photographer of Gaza Graffiti: Messages of Love and Politics and Tahrir Square: The Heart of the Egyptian Revolution, has followed and documented the constantly and rapidly changing graffiti art of the new Egypt from its beginnings, and here in more than 400 full-color images celebrates the imagination, the skill, the humor, and the political will of the young artists and activists who have claimed the walls of Cairo and other Egyptian cities as their canvas. From the simplest hand-written messages, through stencils and martyr portraits, to the elaborate murals of Mohamed Mahmoud Street, the messages on the walls are presented in themed sections-Revolution & Freedom, Egyptian & Proud, Cross & Crescent, Martyrs & Heroes-punctuated by interviews with some of the individual artists whose work has broken fresh ground.

Book Synopsis Ornament and Order by : Dr Rafael Schacter
Download or read book Ornament and Order written by Dr Rafael Schacter and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-09-28 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last forty years, graffiti and street-art have become a global phenomenon within the visual arts. Whilst they have increasingly been taken seriously by the art establishment (or perhaps the art market), their academic and popular examination still remains within old debates which argue over whether these acts are vandalism or art, and which examine the role of graffiti in gang culture and in terms of visual pollution. Based on an in-depth ethnographic study working with some of the world’s most influential Independent Public Artists, this book takes a completely new approach. Placing these illicit aesthetic practices within a broader historical, political, and aesthetic context, it argues that they are in fact both intrinsically ornamental (working within a classic architectonic framework), as well as innately ordered (within a highly ritualized, performative structure). Rather than disharmonic, destructive forms, rather than ones solely working within the dynamics of the market, these insurgent images are seen to reface rather than deface the city, operating within a modality of contemporary civic ritual. The book is divided into two main sections, Ornament and Order. Ornament focuses upon the physical artifacts themselves, the various meanings these public artists ascribe to their images as well as the tensions and communicative schemata emerging out of their material form. Using two very different understandings of political action, it places these illicit icons within the wider theoretical debate over the public sphere that they materially re-present. Order is focused more closely on the ephemeral trace of these spatial acts, the explicitly performative, practice-based elements of their aesthetic production. Exploring thematics such as carnival and play, risk and creativity, it tracks how the very residue of this cultural production structures and shapes the socio-ethico guidelines of these artists’ lifeworlds.
Download or read book New Orleans written by Kady Perry and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wild, ramshackle streets of New Orleans tell a rich story of life, loss, celebration, and change. Winding through her veins-where rambling oak trees drenched in Spanish moss tower over uneven sidewalks-you discover colorful shotgun houses, doorknobs fashioned as skulls, the sweet smell of Southern Satsumas, and an unrestrained year-round celebration of music, culture, and art peppered with plenty of human characters. It's a celebration that has drawn visitors from all over the world and has made New Orleans a hotspot for creative types to live, work, and play. It is also home to two of the most controversial and accessible genres of art: street art and graffiti. The walls-even the ones that are blank or bombed by tags-are drenched in history and stand as witnesses to the city's resilience. They are pages torn from a book about the Crescent City, the Big Easy, the City That Care Forgot.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of Copyright in Street Art and Graffiti by : Enrico Bonadio
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Copyright in Street Art and Graffiti written by Enrico Bonadio and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-07 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the number of conflicts related to the misuse of street art and graffiti has been on the rise around the world. Some cases involve claims of misappropriation related to corporate advertising campaigns, while others entail the destruction or 'surgical' removal of street art from the walls on which they were created. In this work, Enrico Bonadio brings together a group of experts to provide the first comprehensive analysis of issues related to copyright in street art and graffiti. Chapter authors shed light not only on the legal tools available in thirteen key jurisdictions for street and graffiti artists to object to unauthorized exploitations and unwanted treatments of their works, but also offer policy and sociological insights designed to spur further debate on whether and to what extent the street art and graffiti subcultures can benefit from copyright and moral rights protection.

Download or read book Graffiti written by Xuan Paradis and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Graffiti: Vandalism, Street Art and Cultural Significance, the authors first present a study wherein a political dimension of art was analyzed using Jacques Rancière's theory, the micropolitical context in contemporary cities was analyzed using Michael Foucault's theory, and the research methodology was based on the urban ethnography of Italian author Massimo Canevacci. They present the experiences of five graffiti writers, exposing themes of resistance against societal rules. Next, the books examine an event that happened during a graffitti workshop with youths in a city in the South of Brazil. The attempt to draw graffiti on a schools white wall, seen by the youths as transgression towards the institution and its rules, brought about a variety of reactions. The security guard reprimanded them, and the pedagogical coordinator listened to them, but also mentioned the possibility of asking the directors permission. After listening to the youths arguments and negotiating the image which would be drawn, the director ended up allowing the graffiti to be created. Next, the authors present a study on graffiti art in a skate park in Malta, with the goal of exploring some of the functions the artworks serve. The skate park authorises graffiti in an attempt to create safe spaces for young people aimed at engaging them in creative, recreational activities they enjoy doing. The authors suggest that graffiti art in designated spaces could potentially reverse the association of graffiti with social unrest, fear, vandalism and crime. Following this, the book analyzes graffiti and street-art production of the extreme right-wing groups in Slovenia. The authors state that modern fascism is direct, exclusive, and aggressive, while postmodern fascism has the potential to be even more dangerous, because it looks inclusive, conciliatory, and its diction seems integrative. The concluding study explores the efficiency of the laser cleaning of graffiti spray paints on different types of stone. Five graffiti spray paints are applied on marble, limestone and granite. After that, they are treated with two laser cleaning setups and the potential of the CuBrVL for cleaning of graffiti spray paints is demonstrated for the first time.
