There was a Street Art exhibition which finished yesterday but i was still able to catch it. The exhibition involved having artists paint the front of the Tate. The artists involved included Blu, Faile, JR, Nunca, Os Gemos, Sixeart, Spok, El Tono and Nuria, Nano 4814, 3ttman.
Blu, Faile, JR, Nunca, Os Gemos, Sixeart were given the opportunity to put their work up on the front of the Tate. When i got there today JR's paste up was being guerneyed off. Faile also did a paste up but the rest of the artists actually painted. When you see the considerable size of these it will come at some cost to remove. They should have left it up as far as i am concearned but at the end of the day nothing is permanent in street art.
The exhibition involved all artists involved 'putting up' in the streets around the gallery. I was given a map and had to go looking for the works.
I paid £2 (about $4 Aus) to get a handheld multimedia device which had a touch screen and would give you a guided tour throught the gallery. I learnt a lot today from the experience. Im glad J2K got me back into art (only if it was fleeting at high school) something that i will never forget and love him dearly forever for.
