"Street Art, Stret Life" Exhibition
The Bronx Museum Project Space
This event has ended.
From September 14, 2008 to January 25, 2009, the Bronx Museum of the Arts examines this fascination in Street Art, Street Life: From the 1950s to Now. The far ranging exhibition, one of the largest to consider the subject, has been organized by guest curator Lydia Yee, curator at the Barbican Art Gallery, London. Yee identifies the street as a pervasive and cohesive thread binding today’s vanguard artists and photographers to those of preceding generations.
Robert Frank, William Klein, Jacques de la Villeglé, Yoko Ono, Vito Acconci, Martha Rosler, Sophie Calle, Nikki S. Lee and Francis Alÿs are among those represented by street photography, documentation of performances and ephemeral actions, videos, and art objects
fashioned from found materials. New works by Xaviera Simmons and Fatimah Tuggar, cocommissioned by the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Public Art Fund, will spill out onto the Bronx’s widely featured boulevard, the Grand Concourse, and with a special commission, Blank Noise Project from India will make its U.S. debut.
