Street Art exhibit at the Tate Modern
On Friday May 23, the Tate Modern opens ‘Street Art‘, a group exhibition which is the first commission to use the building’s iconic river facade as a canvas, and the first major public museum display of street art in London.
The six participating artists are: 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.
Be sure to read the Guardian’s article ‘How the Tate got streetwise‘ which explains the street art phenomenon and why it’s now centered in Britain, despite it’s American origins.
