STREET ART - Tate Gallery
23 May – 25 August 2008



Os Gémeos

In the first major public museum display of street art in London, an awesome line-up of acclaimed street artists will create gigantic new art works on the external walls of Tate Modern overlooking the Thames.

An eclectic group of artists, who have worked in both street and gallery environments, are showing work: Blu from Bologna, Italy; the artist collective Faile from New York, USA; JR from Paris, France; Nunca and Os Gemeos, both from Sao Paulo, Brazil and Sixeart from Barcelona, Spain. This is the first time work has been commissioned for the building’s iconic external wall.


Faile

Street Art at Tate Modern brings to the fore an important aspect of current art practice.

Viva a Pérfida Albion!
Devem ter jurado nunca mais voltarem ser ser o patinho feio das artes pláticas europeias.
