NEXT EXHIBITION
Graffiti art – Work & Progress
July 6 – October 6, 2024
Within a unique and immersive exhibition, the Crest Art Center is offering this summer the opportunity to discover one of the symbolic artistic practices of Street Art : Graffiti Art.
Graffiti Art finds its origins in the large metropolises of the Eastern United States at the end of the 1960s. Influenced by a social context against a backdrop of economic crisis and urban development conducive to its emergence, this practice is anchored in part in an emerging culture : Hip-Hop.
Graffiti Art then spread from the beginning of the 1980s to other major world capitals, today offering the public a broader spectrum of its practice : original and often illegal Writing : Tag and Graff (piece, masterpiece), to the creation of monumental frescoes to order as part of a muralism festival.
The exhibition offers you a reflective, plural and didactic approach to graffiti by bringing together a selection of works by local and regional artists illustrating the diversity of approaches to this artistic form. Through their hanging, the artists invite you to discover and immerse yourself in the different stages of research, experimentation and creation of their works.
Exhibition curator: Vincent Lansade, Collective Sorry Graffiti
Support for the organization of the exhibition : Culture and entertainment center of the city, City of Crest
