Stencil From The Block
Expozitia Stencils From The Block (SFTB) este dedicata modalitatii de exprimare numita “Street Stencil”, comemorand sfarsitul blocului comunist si inceputul libertatii in 29 de tari dupa o perioada de 40 de ani de dictatura.
In acelasi timp, expozitia reprezinta un mod de a oferi ceva inapoi oamenilor care s-au ridicat si si-au riscat viata pentru a se putea exprima liber, dar si in memoria celor care nu mai sunt printre noi.

Nights Off Brasov +
Daca va aduceti aminte postam cu ceva timp in urma o mica interventie a artistului The Orion in orasul Brasov, de unde a rezultat Nights off Brasov.
Acum The Orion revine cu un nou clip Nights Off Brasov + (chiar daca poarta aproape acelasi nume, este o versiune mult mai imbunatatita), cu toata activitatea sa din Brasov, comprimata in aproape 3 minute de hardcore-aleala stradala!

German City Starts Preserving Street Art!
Should graffiti be preserved? In the case of Blek le Rat’s Madonna masterpiece in Leipzig, the city says yes and what begun back in the early 1990s as a true love story, has now become an original precedent!
Several years ago, Blek le Rat – who nowadays is regarded as a stencil art pioneer – spray-painted a Woman with Child on an apartment building in Leipzig. He dedicated the Madonna to Sybille, the woman he was in love with. Today, they are already married for 20 years and the stencil art piece is still there and it will stay there for at least the next decades!
The reason for that development is that the piece is now on Saxony’s state list of historical monuments! It’s a German precedent – whereas Great Britain (with Banksy) and Switzerland (with Harald Naegeli) already started preserving street art, in Germany nobody would have ever thought to classify certain street artworks as culturally valuable…
Typically, only bygone eras are represented on such lists, and it can take a long time for a monument to be chosen. But Le Rat’s Madonna was granted protected status in just three months. It’s not enough for a work to be recognized as high-quality art, it also should be representative of the time period it comes from. (dw.de)
In my eyes, this is a great story and although preserving street art works against the temporary character of street art, this Leipzig precedent could open more possibilities for artists to become more accepted in common opinion. It’s a perfect chance – we just need to use it!
