Street to Studio

Product description

For 50 years, Graffiti and Street Art have been challenging conventions and stimulating debate around our perceptions of what constitutes art. As the genre enters its 6th decade, this ground-breaking book presents a new view of where these alternative artforms are situated today. Introducing the concept of  'Intermural Art' - art in-between the walls - Rafael Schacter presents a genre at a key moment of transition.

While many street and graffiti artists are still challenging the orthodoxies of the public sphere, an increasingly prevalent group are reshaping the field by their studio practice. Through forty profiles of the leading proponents of this new approach from around the globe, Rafael Schacter presents a compelling analysis for 'Intermural Art' while also showcasing some of the boldest work being made within contemporary art today.

Includes profiles on key artists including Alicia McCarthy, Barry McGee, Boris Tellegen, KAWS, Mike Ballard, Swoon and The Propeller Group.
