The first exhibition in Poland which presents the works of 20 leading European and Polish artists whose art derives from broadly understood urban art.
Different attitudes, various ways, similar origins. Classical or political graffitiwas a significant point for the development of each invited guest.
The fact of interfering into urban atmosphere with egocentric tag or graphicstakenfrom the pattern influenced the way the artists think, act, create and share with their mature and personal art.
Those attitudes which derive from counter cultural and alternative acts of urban activism, seize new areas of social operation and mass culture such as graffiti, street performances, tatoos, cartoon, typography, photography, illustration or person creation.
The exhibition does not literally transfer street art into sterile space of the gallery but is rather an attempt to change stereotyped way of its perception, it is the attempt to show that the barrier between high art and marginal urban art is weak. It aims to present the inspirations, philosophy and social dimension, crucial for this art, which reflect contemporary, democratic tendencies to participate in culture.
The violent mixture is created by the attempt to equal working in studio and working in urban space. This mixture will govern BWA Wrocław and the streets of Wrocław for a
month.
