I don't know enough about street art exhibits to give it a proper assessment but i think it showed that it's difficult to make something intended for the street, translate with as much impact and charisma in a gallery. a lot of it might as well have been pop artaunt hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481695679767399199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430280678963065890.post-52396595573480239122011-04-27T10:03:42.239+10:002011-04-27T10:03:42.239+10:00Try Christine Dew's 'Uncommissioned Art: T...Try Christine Dew's 'Uncommissioned Art: The A-Z of Australian Graffiti'.<br /><br />Or read Acid Midget.Acid Midgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05157996417714668919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430280678963065890.post-13114545643598779402011-04-26T16:28:47.486+10:002011-04-26T16:28:47.486+10:00I'm still waiting for a book or art show that&...I'm still waiting for a book or art show that's truly representative of Australian street art.
