Streetsy: Recent Activity EVOKE!: A series of Interactive Urban Interventions by Contra. thaeger - blog this way unurth | street art Street art John Fekner: Broken Promises/Falsas Promesas, South Bronx, 1980. The terms "urban art", "guerrilla art", "post-graffiti" and "neo-graffiti" are also sometimes used when referring to artwork created in these contexts.[1] Traditional spray-painted graffiti artwork itself is often included in this category, excluding territorial graffiti or pure vandalism. Artists who choose the streets as their gallery are often doing so from a preference to communicate directly with the public at large, free from perceived confines of the formal art world.[2] Street artists sometimes present socially relevant content infused with esthetic value, to attract attention to a cause or as a form of "art provocation".[3] Street artists often travel between countries to spread their designs. Background[edit] Germany's Berlin Wall (shown 1986) was a target of artists during its existence (1961-1989). Street art is a topical issue. Origins[edit] Early iconic works[edit] Groundbreaking exhibitions[edit]
