How Street Art Made it to the Tate Modern
Alice Fisher has an interesting story up over at The Guardian, "How the Tate Got Streetwise." It's about London getting so crazy for street art (see: stenciled spray-painted artwork and the big checks made out to Banksy) and how it must really be a viable art medium, now that the Tate Modern is giving its day in its hallowed halls with its aptly-named, upcoming exhibit, "Street Art." If you're like us and you're at all interested in reading and then repeated re-reading how these pieces suddenly went from things you'd pass on the street to stuff selling in galleries for millions and millions in just around a decade, with the real push coming over the last couple of years, Fisher's piece serves as a pretty solid primer. So go forth and educate yourself. Then either start cutting out stencils to see if you can get yourself on the street art gravy train or saving your pennies to buy something one day.
