Schwarz Christophe Arhirre - French street artist, better known as Zevs. One of the first Parisian graffiti artists in the early nineties, he was also an active teggerom. Alias "Zevs" - is the name of a commuter train ( "Zeus"), who once almost moved him to the subway. Together with André and Space Invader Zevs was one of the first activists of the French street art.

In the late 90's Zevs became famous, running from the shadows of objects on the streets of the city and podrisovyvaya blood stains eyes models depicted on billboards. His work has caused serious repercussions in society.
Best known for the Frenchman could be considered "visual abduction". Zevs carved figure of a model with a huge advertising banner company "Lavazza" on the Alexanderplatz in Berlin, and "blackmailing" the leadership of the company: they are asked to donate 500,000 euros to the Paris Museum of Modern Art "Palais de Tokyo" in return for the image model.

It seems there was no such material from Kommersant:
To date, there are two lines of graffiti, almost overlapping with each other. For the representatives of the first line to pay huge sums of money at auctions of contemporary art. Legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring quickly gone from the streets and from the beginning of 1980 has already been exhibited in galleries in the guise of the new barbarians.

At the same time developing a second, the root, the line: adolescents from poor neighborhoods of large cities in the U.S. were engaged in the virtuoso damage public property. Unlike Basquiat and Haring in this New York vandals never wanted to become artists, recognized establishment. And graffitist, to get into the gallery, they were, at best, with contempt. Initiative of Fondation Cartier, inviting an international team of archivists, scholars and artists, and arranged a retrospective of this graffiti, is rather a bold experiment.

The first graffiti appeared in New York 1960's and quickly spread to poor neighborhoods populated by Latino and African Americans. At first street artists painted buses so-called tags - their names with the addition of numbers of the street where lived (for example, Joe 182). Then they switched to the subway. The main virtue for graffitist began painting subway as a whole, so-called whole car. The city administration declared war on the Vandals to a victorious conclusion: the widening laws grew fine, but graffitist persisted, because a good artist is not only a clarity of design, but also the ability to quickly escape from persecution and orienteering skills on the ground. In the 1980 graffitti went outside as the street, and the United States. Street children have in the gallery, they began to produce its own magazine, and thus the local style of American teenagers has become international. In fact, in this area is nothing new has been invented: if you see on the streets of Moscow intricate letters, you know - New York 1980's were filled with exactly the same.

At the Fondation Cartier, this story is told through archival photos and films. Especially for the exhibition organizers asked ten graffitist from different countries to make huge canvases. The audience will also be able to see the process live: the same artists will be once a week to paint posters for the exhibition. Among those invited is one absolute legend - a New York graffitist P. H. A. S. E. 2. Among its findings, the stories include the special rounding letters, through which they look like padded stools or balloons.

Despite the fact that graffitist reputation outcasts and people outside the law, their art, 90%consisting of intricate interweaving of letters, it will do for the decorative and applied. This is an ethnographic phenomenon as an ornamental embroidery of the Indians. Graffitist fought not only with the city, but also with each other, as said in the film "Style Wars". Opposition fans angular and rounded letters like spores ostrokonechnikov and tupokonechnikov of "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift. But graffitist it was a question the most important thing in life, which have nothing to lose - the question of personal identity. Graffiti is the best example of how the urban jungle again arises the tribal system. Perhaps the exhibition at the Fondation Cartier put graffiti on a fat point, tags, take in museums, while the lower strata of society en masse move to the virtual space of social networks. Because each user has his own Facebook wall (wall), which can be anything nakalyakat.

I was witness to a random repair tram lines in Vienna. The powerful effect of the sparks that have arisen from the Instrument of road workers, attracted me. And not only me - a bad example is infectious! Even the workers themselves, seeing my interest, began to photograph her as "tram performance."
These photos may well be in the subject "Street Art". Personally, I understand by this word is not only conscious work of art, but art and the unconscious [activities] unknown masses.
PS. The fact that Hans exhibited above, it is falls under the Criminal Code.
