Graffiti artists

International Centre of Graphic Arts MGLC, Ljubljana

Graffiti are usually made in urban settings - streets, road and railway passageways - and they represent a manner of communication between an individual, or an organised group, and society. For graffiti artists, empty and clean city walls are much worse to see than any graffiti on it. They offer a chance to express oneself freely, under a pseudonym, knowing that these paintings will soon be covered or erased. Can a gallery wall - a place of institutionally-defined expression - present a challenge for a graffiti artist? Is graffiti art a mode of contemporary artistic expression?

Gallery wall as a challenge?

Graffiti are usually made in urban settings - streets, road and railway passageways - and they represent a manner of communication between an individual, or an organised group, and society. For graffiti artists, empty and clean city walls are much worse to see than any graffiti on it. They offer a chance to express oneself freely, under a pseudonym, knowing that these paintings will soon be covered or erased.
Can a gallery wall - a place of institutionally-defined expression - present a challenge for a graffiti artist? Is graffiti art a mode of contemporary artistic expression? The exhibition aims to explore answers to these questions by inviting graffiti artists from around Slovenia to create works of most different styles and contents on the roofs of the gallery.

Opening: 23 March at 8 p.m.
