Collects the artist's works, from the late 1990s to present, across the major cities of the U.K. and North America.

You are an Acceptable Level of Threat and If You Weren't You Would Know about it

Brilliant successor to the first edition, this book about street art has again been created without the collaboration of the artists and certainly without the permission of the wall owners. Works featured are all recent creations and many exhibit the vile passions that rage between old schools and new. There are blatant statements that embody outrageous lies, articles laced with satire, plus cynical synopses of attempts to commercialize street art and make it fashionable via celebrity endorsement. Consideration is given to the question What the hell is it about the color grey that makes it appeal the powers that be and their ridiculous minions? and Outsider Art is it an expression of artistic impulse without interference from the idea of personal gain? All of this amongst a collection of graffiti collected from all over the world and preserved on these pages before the legions employed to destroy them chip them off the walls. Artists featured include Miss Van, Dan Witz, Ron English, Obey, Banksy, Blek le Rat, Swoon, Os Gemeos, and Herakut.

Banksy You Are an Acceptable Level of Threat and If You Were Not You Would Know about It

La gente ama u odia este libro, o nunca ha oído hablar de él. Bansky es lo más parecido al Che Guevara que nos ofrece el siglo XXI. Excepto, por lo que sabemos, que nunca cursó medicina, participó de la Revolución Cubana, ni viajó al Congo o a Bolivia. El lector encontrará en este libro, amorosamente reunida, la única y mejor colección de fotografías del arte callejero de Banksy que jamás se haya editado. Para gran pena de todas las escuelas de arte, es probable que se recuerde a Banksy como el mejor artista británico post-milenio-depresión. Su capacidad para llamar la atención, enviar un mensaje, a menudo con una frase contundente o de sentido ambiguo, le hubiera significado un puesto altísimo en una agencia publicitaria; la pérdida para Madison Avenue es nuestra ganancia. Cuando Banksy comenzó a pintar, el panorama político era desolador. Hoy es diez veces peor. Así que aunque la entrañable y agresiva obra política de Banksy se hace cada vez más importante, nos pareció relevante presentar su arte en el contexto de la época a la que correspondía, considerando los temas de los que se ocupaba. Si el lector nunca ha escuchado hablar de Banksy, este libro es todo lo que necesita para meterse en una discusión de bar acerca del hombre y de su leyenda

Graffiti is art driven by existential hunger: it attacks you only if you are lame, yet it can also inspire mystery and creativity. Featuring works by the likes of Banksy, Faile, Dface and Swoon, 'Untitled' features brilliant images of graffiti collected from all over the world, preserved here before being destroyed and chipped off the walls.

Street Art in the Counter Culture

So Just who is the Fixie rider? It's the buzz question that a lot of people want to know right now. If we're to believe some, then the Fixie rider is a horribly spoilt late twenty something male of affluent background. He's never been required to grow up and spends all of his pocket money on cool toys and fads in a never ending effort to be trendy. Cynics would say that the Fixie rider is a myth in the process of being invented by those people who want to sell stuff to rich kids; ie the brands. Through contemporary observation and the collaboration of those on the inside from Taiwan to New York, Brick Lane to Tokyo, 42x12 gives a unique insight into whats going on at ground level.

The Cult of Fixed

Not all art craves attention, some of it hides in the secret places. Some of it is buried treasure, out in the urban wilderness, left scattered in empty rooms of derelict buildings like strange markings left by an unknown tribe. These works are gifts given only to the occasional explorer, found in abandoned factories, warehouses, industrial sites and deconsecrated churches. This is art you have to earn by leaving the designated areas and heading out past the No Entry signs of the urban environment. A diverse range of artists find themselves attracted to these twilight zones and in recent years something of a movement has come to light, huddled around the idea of urban decay and abandonment as the ultimate canvas. This burning curiosity to see what is behind the fence exists to a greater or lesser degree in most people, but for some it is irresistible. Urban ruins are like the woods in the old fairy tales, they are the place where the ordered reality of modern city life gives way to the irrational, the ambient and the surreal. If the estate is the village, then the industrial wasteland is the woods into which the babes go laying crumbs behind them to find their way back. the intervention of street art in these places ranges from walled spaces saturated with layer upon layer of tagging to strange little installations intended to mess with your head. Surreal comments scrawled on windows can be found alongside hidden characters, placed to surprise you as you turn a corner. Is there some universal human urge to say 'I was here'? So next time you think about placement, why not look a little off the beaten track? Visibility is good for certain projects but the delightful, terrible intimacy available to you in the urban woods is just begging to be explored. Just remember to take some breadcrumbs with you to help find your way home.
