Panel: The New Urban Interventionists

How are street artists changing the way they interact with the urban canvas?

Street art is still mostly created by spraying, pasting, stenciling, or stickering on public surfaces, but it has also become a fertile ground for artists experimenting with more innovative approaches. New York-based Graffiti Research Lab takes a “geek graffiti” technology-based approach, while Leeds-based Paul “Moose” Curtis uses only a shoebrush and water to create his public artworks. Their discussion will examine the politics of reclaiming the streets, the urban artist’s evolving toolkit, and the value of impermanent, low-impact approaches to street art.
