Softcover. Condition: Like New. First edition. Signed copies rarely offered. "Volume Two contains photos that I took on the streets of Seattle, Washington, USA in 2012. For this volume, the last page includes a list of locations where you can see a concentration of street art in Seattle. Aside from its rain and coffee, Seattle i…s known for many things subversive, from Grunge music to the activist driven WTO riots. This region of America raised the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee. Today, there is a culture here that isonly represented anonymously in the reclaimed public spaces of the city. Images dot the urban landscape in the typical street mediums that are used across the globe: spray paint, stickers, paste-ups, stencils, wheatpasting, posters, videoprojection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing, installations, post-graffiti, mosaic tiling, murals, wood-blocking, LED art, reverse-graffiti a.k.a. green-graffiti, cuprocking and yarn bombing. You will see that these are not commercial enterprises or vandalism graffiti, but individual creative statements. something we can all relate to. Street art as a medium has been popularized internationally by the likes of ShepardFairey, Banksy, D*Face, Paul Insect, Swoon, Twist, Neck face, Faile, Space Invader and WK Interact. It can take on many purposes and sometimes involves activism, phenomenology, repetition, attention capture, culture jamming, directaction, guerrilla messaging, propaganda, subvertising, decoration and territory claiming. The following is a small window into this temporary world that?s constantly being revised in a flux of new symbols. It?s a snapshot of work on the Seattle streets, a visual capsule in time, not a comprehensive representation of Seattle street art and the people involved over the years. Some of the work only existed for a day before it was written over by other artists or removed by the city. a reminder that nothing is permanent and, control is an illusion in the chaos of a city". A. Tarantino (1974-Present) is an American writer, photographer and philanthropist. He is best known for a series of city specific street art photography books documenting temporary public urban art in print. He published his first book Seattle Street Art in 2011, with follow-up volumes over the years featuring Portland, Oregon; Seoul, South Korea and Hawaii Island. His interest in artistic expression started at an early age, seeing his first street art in Boston in 1988. Signed by Author.
