Résumé:
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.'

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Skateboarders are an increasingly common feature of the urban environment - recent estimates total 40 million world-wide. We are all aware of their often extraordinary talent and manoeuvres on the city streets. This book is the first detailed study of the urban phenomenon of skateboarding. It looks at skateboarding history from the surf-beaches of California in the 1950s, through the purpose-built skateparks of the 1970s, to the street-skating of the present day and shows how skateboarders experience and understand the city through their sport. Dismissive of authority and convention, skateboarders suggest that the city is not just a place for working and shopping but a true pleasure-ground, a place where the human body, emotions and energy can be expressed to the full.

Résumé:
Building on the book "Art in a City" by John Willett, which surveyed the history of the visual arts in Liverpool, this collection of essays explores art in contemporary Liverpool and engages with the view from outside the City and outside Britain. It examines the often made but rarely challenged claim that Liverpool is ‘the most significant UK centre for art outside London’, and looks at the key institutional players, such as the Bluecoat and the Walker Art Gallery as well as all those that post-date Willett, including Tate Liverpool, Open Eye, FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), and the Liverpool Biennial. There are discussions of the role of Liverpool as an arts city from the perspective of key artists who have worked in the city; of public vs private patronage in the arts, including the extent and role of public funding; of the changing nature of public art; of the social role of the arts; and of community participation in the arts. The book has a major consideration of the role of the arts in city regeneration and of the concept of ‘the creative industries’.

"Snyder doesn't just celebrate urban street art and its rising stars, but takes a thorough look at its history and future, the language of public art and the idea of the graffiti artist as crimina... Snyder’s “the kids are alright” assessment, buttressed by many examples of thrill-seeking taggers finding successful careers in art, design, publishing, and (commissioned) mural-painting, is well-articulated, convincing, and quite possibly reassuring."—Publisher’s Weekly Starred Review
