Summary:
Barcelona 1000 Graffiti is a photo-essay by Rosa Puig about graffiti in Barcelona, a city that's become a meeting place and 'concrete canvas' for graffitists from all over the world. The wide range of graffiti documented in this work is scattered throughout the city, a cause of astonishment and admiration for some, of concern for the authorities, and of despair for the owners of facades irreverently invaded under cover of darkness. The graffiti collected in this book are found in different areas of Barcelona - from the very central to the most far-flung - and offer very diverse topics and tones - by turns poetic, socially aware, dissenting - while competing with the customary visual pollution of the city and helping to enrich its landscape. The photographs reflect the surprised gaze of their author, at once captivated by 'graphic pieces' that, as she says, she 'would rip off the walls and hang in my house.'

La vie et l’oeuvre d’une des figures les plus appréciées et influentes du monde vibrant de l’art de la rue de ces vingt dernières années. Ce livre offre un regard d’un genre unique sur la vie et l’oeuvre de l’une des figures les plus appréciées et influentes de la scène vibrante de l’art de la rue : Blek le Rat. Célèbres dans le monde entier, les oeuvres de ce pochoiriste parisien ont profondément marqué d’innombrables street artists et n’ont de cesse d’inspirer designers graphiques et publicitaires, notamment dans le domaine de la musique. Des premiers pochoirs représentant des rats bombés sur les murs de Paris aux affiches de la journaliste Florence Aubenas en passant par les portraits de Lady Di ou de Serge Gainsbourg, c’est tout l’art révolutionnaire de Blek le Rat qui est ici montré pour la première fois - soit vingt années de création dans la rue et pour la rue. L’ouvrage présente plus de 300 oeuvres in situ magnifiquement photographiées et propose non seulement la description des techniques utilisées par Blek mais aussi une analyse de la signification de ses créations au pochoir. Acteur omniprésent de la scène de l’art urbain dans des villes aussi cosmopolites que Paris, New York, Barcelone, Buenos Aires, Londres, Taipei, Naples et Berlin, Blek le Rat, à travers ce livre, laisse enfin une trace durable de son travail qui continuera longtemps d’inspirer les amoureux de l’art de la rue.

"Nous proposons des tactiques urbaines pour accompagner les micro-processus locaux dans les milieux urbains où les décisions sont prises au nom d'intérêts économiques privés et de mécanismes politiques centralisés inadaptés aux mobilités territoriales actuelles: globales, informelles, multiculturelles… Nous explorons la réappropriation des espaces urbains délaissés et la création de nouvelles formes d'urbanité par des aménagements réversibles, des pratiques du quotidien, par l'implication des habitants et des usagers en tant que porteurs de différents savoirs faire. Plus accessibles, ces espaces constituent un potentiel d'expérimentation urbaine et d'exploration à rebours de l'accroissement de la densité et du contrôle. Notre démarche consiste à critiquer pour libérer le désir d'agir mais aussi à rassembler des compétences partagées et des dynamiques collaboratives pour aller plus loin. En valorisant la position d'habitant et d'usager comme condition politique nous développons ensemble des outils d'appropriation symbolique des espaces de proximité et nous renforçons le pouvoir de décision et d'action des acteurs de terrain dans la ville. Ces outils incluent des réseaux trans-locaux, processus catalyseurs, architectures nomades, espaces autogérés, plates-formes de production culturelle…" Atelier d'Architecture Autogérée

Providing a thorough linguistic interpretation of the music, she teases out the cultural antecedents and ideologies embedded in the language, emphases, and wordplay. She discusses the artistic skills and cultural knowledge MCs must acquire to rock the mic, the socialization of hiphop culture’s core and long-term members, and the persistent focus on skills, competition, and evaluation. She brings attention to adults who provided material and moral support to sustain underground hiphop, identifies the ways that women choose to participate in Project Blowed, and vividly renders the dynamics of the workshop’s famous lyrical battles.

Summary:
In City/Art anthropologists, literary and cultural critics, a philosopher, and an architect explore how creative practices continually reconstruct the urban scene in Latin America. The contributors, all Latin Americanists, describe how creativity—broadly conceived to encompass urban design, museums, graffiti, film, music, literature, architecture, performance art, and more—combines with nationalist rhetoric and historical discourse to define Latin American cities. Taken together, the essays model different ways of approaching Latin America’s urban centers not only as places that inspire and house creative practices but also as ongoing collective creative endeavors themselves. The essays range from an examination of how differences of scale and point of view affect people’s experience of everyday life in Mexico City to a reflection on the transformation of a prison into a shopping mall in Uruguay, and from an analysis of Buenos Aires’ preoccupation with its own status and cultural identity to a consideration of what Miami means to Cubans in the United States.

This essay opens up multiple dimensions of the oncept from architectural, political, philosophical, and technological points of view. There is some historical analysis here, but the contributors are more focused on the future of public space under conditions of growing urbanization and democratic confusion. The added interest offered by non-academic work—visual art, fiction, poetry, and drama—is in part an admission that this is a topic too important to be left only to theorists. It also makes an implicit argument for the crucial role that art, not just public art, plays in a thriving public realm.
