ArtSlant Reports on Great Paris Graffiti Show

Happy Bastille Day! What better way to celebrate the revolution than with a celebration of street art - art of the masses!


This link to ArtSlant offers a great article on a Paris gallery graffiti show. Paris has been an especially great place to exhibit street art as JonOne's exhibit at the Magda Danysz Gallery will attest.

Whenever I think of the French Revolution I can't help but think of my most favorite play. If you haven't read or seen Marat / Sade, you are missing out on a bit of great revolutionary theater. Here is a link to the book. The DVD appears to have been discontinued.

Street Theater as Street "Art"

I have recently discovered a street theater company who perform free for the public on the streets of New York City. Shakespeare in the Parking Lot is a troupe of accomplished actors who perform Shakespeare plays in a municipal parking lot on Ludlow Street and Broome Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

This is street art in a performance form - gritty, loud, expert and daring. Bring your own chair and catch them Thursdays - Saturdays starting at 8pm.
