BREAKING GLASS, STREET ART ICONS, AND WYNWOOD WALL $BREAKING GLASS, STREET ART ICONS, AND WYNWOOD WALLS AT 15 “The eclectic mix brought together old-school graffiti pioneers and contemporary street artists, with a standout contribution from Simon Berger. Goldman Srebnick made sure to highlight his work as we arrived, and for good reason—his fractured-glass portraits installed in the windows of the on-site subway car are a striking and unusual experience. Using a hammer to create detailed images by breaking glass, Berger’s work plays brilliantly with light, an understated yet shimmering result evoking comparisons to C215’s stencils and Vhils’ subtractive jackhammered murals. There was reportedly a live demo of his technique during the week, but unfortunately, we missed it.” @wynwoodwallsofficial @jessicagoldmansrebnick @simonberger.art @askewone @loganhicksny @sophiemess_ @ellestreetart @gregmike @carlosmare @digitaldoes @bublegumsr #streetart #graffiti #urbanart #muralart #wynwoodwalls #wynwoodmiami$

MANTRA REVITALIZES MIAMI WITH STUNNING ROOFTOP MUR

MANTRA REVITALIZES MIAMI WITH STUNNING ROOFTOP MURAL. We begin the year with a vibrant and thought-provoking project by French graffiti writer, street artist, muralist, and natural scientist Mantra. Tasked with breathing life into the rooftop of a multi-story parking garage in Miami, Mantra delivers a masterclass on how art can energize and possibly educate. @mantrarea @justkidsofficial #rooftopmural #streetart #urbanart

The most extensive career survey ever exhibited, “Martha Cooper: Taking Pictures” is curated by Steven P. Harrington & Jaime Rojo
Q:You were already working as curators for URBAN NATION before this exhibition. How does the curation of the projects at that time differ from the new exhibition?
A: We were on the curatorial board of the museum since 2015 when we brought 12 artists from Brooklyn to Berlin for our cultural exchange exhibition …

“Scholars of the category expressed similar views. Jaime Rojo and Steven P. Harrington, co-founders of the online street art community Brooklyn Street Art, stated that while graffiti art should be generally viewed as a distinct category due to its focus on lettering and authorial expression, the bounds of street art are more aesthetically slippery. “It may borrow heavily from advertising, branding, traditional mural making, and pop culture aesthetics or methods of creation and dissemination,”…
