Tate Modern Museum Holds Street Art Exhibition

It's a bit of a surprise that the Tate Modern, the globally esteemed London art museum, has recently opened an exhibition of street art. But with the international explosion of street art in recent years, the countless number of books on the subject recently published, broader mainstream appeal and adoption of the aesthetic by a growing cadre of designers and the media, it should not be a surprise at all.

The Tate is a massive sign of recognition of street art's place in the wider culture. The show has created space in its galleries (and fittingly on the exterior of the museum itself) for works by an international group of street artists. Two of our favorites, New York collective Faile and Brazilian brothers Os Gemeos, have work at the Tate exhibition, which runs until August 25.

... And Global Graphica HQ Workspace - Now

Our minimalist workspace as it is now in '08 in downtown Manhattan, New York City, where all the magic still happens. Compare the images in this post and the previous post and it's interesting to see what's changed: artwork on the wall, newer smartphone, earbuds instead of headphones, different books and magazines, coffee cup has a proper saucer, etc.

Space Invader in Barcelona - No. 1

French artist Space Invader strikes Barcelona with his signature mosaic of the videogame icon. This one is black, which is kind of unusual for Space Invader. Usually his mosaics employ brighter colors. This is our favorite of all his works, which we've seen in several cities throughout Europe and North America the past few years.
