HUGO KAAGMAN STENCIL KING
STREET ART - BANKSY & CO.
Palazzo Pepoli - Museo della Storia di Bologna
18 March - 26 June 2016, Italy
For the first time, Street Art - Banksy & Co. presents the influences that street art had and still has on the visual arts, passing through that aesthetic which
was born in New York in the 1970s as the result of the passion for lettering and name writing of young people living in the city suburbs.
On show the works by authors connected with the graffiti writing and street art, in order to create the similarities between the different productions and to
explain how the society has acknowledged them.The art heritage is the protagonist of this original exhibition at Palazzo Pepoli, whose inner court recreates a
kind of city corner, an ideal place where to tell an important step of Bologna history.
Street Art - Banksy & Co. is curated by Luca Ciancabilla, Christian Omodeo and Sean Corcoran
