Return From Break

We're back bee-yatches!!! Global Graphica has returned from a six-month hiatus. We took a break from the website to devote more time to our work producing several big online advertising campaigns for a major cell-phone service provider and consulting on a new Web video start-up. So new posts to Global Graphica were few and far between in the first half of 2008. Now that we've got something approximating normal working hours again, we're ready to get back to the business of adding fresh images daily and regularly updating Global Graphica, our personally curated collection of images documenting the ephemeral street art, graff and visual artifacts we stumble upon in wanderings around New York City and abroad. Good to be back.

What is Street Art?

Many people know street art when they see it. But what it is and what it isn't sometimes is unclear and often debatable at best. A definition of street art may be helpful. According to the Wikipedia's entry on the subject as of July 11, 2008, Street Art is defined as follows:

Street art is any art developed in public spaces — that is, "in the streets" — though the term usually refers to art of an illicit nature, as opposed to government sponsored initiatives. The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations. Typically, the term Street Art or the more specific Post-Graffiti is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art.

About Global Graphica

Global Graphica is a personally curated website devoted to photographically documenting the street art we see in daily walks in and around downtown New York City and in cities we travel to around the world. Images of other ephemeral art forms and visual culture are also posted to our site, as is information and commentary about exhibitions, events and media. Global Graphica was launched in 2004 as a spin-off web project of the pop-culture web magazine Air Massive. The site was set up to create a personal photo record of the ever-changing street art we encountered daily in our downtown New York City neighborhood and beyond. Global Graphica welcomes inquiries and submissions of images from readers and artists.
