      txt: Tate Modern - Street Art - 23 May – 25 August 2008 Free Entry
      In the first major public museum display of street art in London, an awesome line-up of acclaimed street artists will create gigantic new art works on the external walls of Tate Modern overlooking the Thames. An eclectic group of artists, who have worked in both street and gallery environments, are showing work: Blu from Bologna, Italy; the artist collective Faile from New York, USA; JR from Paris, France; Nunca and Os Gemeos, both from Sao Paulo, Brazil and Sixeart from Barcelona, Spain. This is the first time work has been commissioned for the building’s iconic external wall.

      So a screenprint poking fun at the art establishment is sold by the establishment. In fact, the establishment is now in on the joke. Does this mean urban art is losing its subversive edge? And is it even street art - accessible and (often) transient work created for the ordinary public - if it is connected to a gallery or established institution? [...] The question that some young artists may now be asking is, if street art is entering into the mainstream with urban artists increasingly becoming establishment figures, where do the real rebels go to rage against the machine?

      txt: "Wooster's How To..,." #12 - Blek Le Rat's How to Survive in the Graffiti World Without Selling Your Soul
      First of all: Before starting a career as a graffiti artist you have to make sure to have another income than your art to live for over a long period of time and maybe even for the rest of your life.... This is the best way to keep your work free from any parasites or bad influences from people who dont care about you as an artist but only about their own benefits of YOUR work. [...] Fifthly: The ligths of the city quickly go out!!! and how to switch them on? It is in the cold of the darkness when you are alone and looking for someone and the way out back to the lights of success that your conscience is being cleaned because free of the blinding pollution of success. Your pain will turn into a new creativity. And you should never forget the old law of nature that after a down always comes an up...

He began his quest on the streets of Paris In 1981 and many artists (most famously by Banksy) have been influenced by his unique style ever since. Street art has evolved and the year is now 2006. Blek and filmmaker King Adz depart on a road trip through France to witness Blek's influence on street art and the modern media.

      txt: Arts, Culture and the Public Sphere
      How do cultures relate to the public sphere? To which extent is the shape of the public discourse affected by cultural codes? What are the cultural dimensions of public knowledge? Why and how does culture matter? In contemporary societies the public sphere is constantly shaped and reshaped by media discourses. The public discourses can no more be analyzed at the national levels only because globalization processes are at work. We are witnessing the emergence of multiple global public spheres, which are intersecting to each other, articulating both local and global issues. In this context the role of culture is highly increased. The visibility of cultural codes becomes global. They are used to express power, to mediate conflicts, to negotiate claims of citizenship, to construct minority identities, gender and ethnicity issues, and to inscribe the public knowledge of the past in the national and international arena. The aesthetic dimensions are becoming key issue to articulate power relations. Culture matters and it does it in many new ways.

      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 15x12 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."

      txt: A short verse about cities - www.urban-art.info
      I have never completely understood what the city is. It possesses an unusual naturalness. A naturalness beyond which I cannot see; it holds me as if I am imprisoned. The city does not only consist of spaces, buildings or streets. It seems to be broken down into wishes, longings and countless references. And often enough the spaces and buildings stand for exactly that: unfulfilled promises. The city is an instrument. It is a giant hostel in which I am but a nomad. The city is like a substitute for everything that I cannot have or be. It is like a stage, an eternally prolonged rehearsal for some postponed premiere. On other days it is the exact opposite and I can feel how those traces and wishes that I have left behind work and merge with others. The city is never silent. It is a place of ceaseless adjustment. And yet it also appears to be empty. It is nowhere and everywhere. It has no centre. The city is an organism without any geometry. It is dissolved in an indeterminate space. To be outside the city, always feels like the absence of the city.
