in the city,
someone is just looking at an underground map to find the destination
someone else is only walking fast and watching down…
some other people
don’t…
who is happier?

Education is about communication
and
communication at its best
is to make art.
…the point of view
can change a lot our perception of reality:

FROM AFAR IT WAS AN ISLAND
by Bruno Munari
Just few days ago I posted few words about Poster Boy.
“Last night before a benefit he was scheduled to participate in at a loft in Soho, the street artist known as Poster Boy was arrested by an undercover cop. Poster Boy was listed on a flyer for the event…”

We can love or hate street-art
but
it is a contemporary form of human-expression. Street-art is not every sign that you can make on the street… you need a good technique and to find a specific site in relationship with your art-work (or vice versa).
The only difference between street-art
and
all the other form of human-expressions (art-styles) is that
street-art
is
ILLEGAL.
When there are pieces of street-art in museums or graffiti in galleries the meaning of this art is destroyed. Galleries are ONLY interested about the “new” and “fresh” images that street-art has to offer to the market.
A gallery turns street-art
into
gallery-art.
A museum turns street-art
into
museum-art.
To make a street-art exhibition inside a gallery is like to build an igloo in Egypt.
No sense.
But of course there are some compromises:
did you see the pyramid in front of Louvre?
