Graffiti on the Tate - Street Art Goes Mainstream (VIDEO)

Following hot on the heals of the Cans Festival (see video for highlights) - London’s Tate Modern is presenting the work of six internationally acclaimed street artists. AND allowing them to present their work on the outside of the building, using a protective coating to ensure the work is easily removed.

Blu from Bologna, Italy; the artist collective Faile from New York, USA (his work also featured in the Cans Highlight Video); JR from Paris, France; Nunca and Os Gemeos, both from Sao Paulo, Brazil and Sixeart from Barcelona, Spain. Embracing the concept of street heart visitors can take a Street Art Walking Tour or attend various events such as an interactive evening with experimental New York artists Graffiti Research Lab, refacing Tate Modern with graffiti light projections.

For once a trend I can visit - hurray!!!
