This Site Specific Art Action took place at 6 august 2008. In the program of the Tate Modern about Street Art I only saw streeart outside the Tate Modern and an Walking Tour. On the website you can find the info: In the first commission to use the building's iconic river faade, and the first major public museum display of street art in London, Tate Modern presents the work of six internationally acclaimed artists whose work is intricately linked to the urban environment: Blu from Bologna, Italy; the artist collective Faile from New York, USA; JR from Paris, France; Nunca and Os Gmeos, both from So Paulo, Brazil and Sixeart from Barcelona, Spain. You can also take the Street Art Walking Tour: an urban tour of site-specific art from a group of five Madrid-based street artists: 3TTMan, Spok, Nano 4814, El Tono and Nuria a map is available online and in the gallery. Street Art curated by Cedar Lewisohn, produced by Kathy Noble.
Isn't Street Art illegal ?
Does Street Art belong in an museum ?
Yes of course. If so, it ought to be inside the museum also. But i didn't see any piece of Street Art inside theTate Modern. Even not in the entrance, it was totally empty. Just the best place, to present an big piece of streetart object. So I made an maquette for an art piece which could have been there. This art piece has been left behind at the third floor, in the hallway. It is not allowed to make pictures there, but I needed the evidence to convince you that my art piece is in international art collection of the Tate Modern.
