“A wall of 50 skateboards was painted by graffiti artists Dream TWS, Ders Dalucco, Dosic and VIewone.
Now the unique numbered pieces can be bought in an auktion.
All proceeds go to SKATEISTAN the first skateboardschool in Kabul, Afghanistan.

The painting action took place at the “Go Skateboarding Days” 2010 in Basel, which marked the beginning of the project SKATE TO KABUL.
SKATE TO KABUL collects skateboard equipment to support SKATEISTAN.
Furthermore kids and teenagers of both cultures can contact each other via the donated gear.
They can skate across the cultural gap, as it were.“

“Graffiti and unsanctioned art—from local origins to global phenomenon.
In recent years street art has grown bolder, more ornate, more sophisticated and—in many cases—more acceptable. Yet unsanctioned public art remains the problem child of cultural expression, the last outlaw of visual disciplines. It has also become a global phenomenon of the 21st century.

Also includes:
• Unpublished images of street art by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat
• Unpublished photographs by Subway Art luminary Martha Cooper
• Unpublished photos from the personal archives of selected artists
• Incisive essays by Anne Pasternak (director of public arts fund Creative Time) and civil rights lawyer Tony Serra
• Special feature: exclusive preface by Banksy”

Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post—hurricane New Orleans to the separation barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution, Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. Exit Through the Gift Shop tells the incredible true story of how an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner – with spectacular results.
