There's an exhibition on the Art of Graffiti (and tags) at the Grimaldi Forum at the moment.
It's a very much an in-your-face exhibition and fascinating. The first graffiti artist to be recognised (1971) was a young Greek called Demetrius from Washington Heights who signed himself Taki 183, after the number of the street where he lived. More tomorrow...
Do you know how long the exhibit is on for? I'm back soon and would like to cover it!
ReplyDeleteJameson, it was supposed to close on the 19th August and was extended to the 21st, and that's tomorrow...sorry.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Oh well, it looks like a cool exhibit.
