“Street Art Street Life: From the 1950s to Now” at the Bronx Museum

"The rich history of street art and culture is getting its due respect in a new exhibit, Street Art Street Life: From the 1950s to Now, opening tomorrow at the Bronx Museum of the Arts in New York. Featuring mostly video installation and photography, this show takes an in-depth look at an era that helped pave the way for so much of the art and music we take for granted today."

“With its immaculate, almost exaggeratedly stripped-down installation, the show is clearly intended not to recreate the feel of art on the street, but to record the fact of it. History, not buzz, is the subject,” writes Holland Cotter for the NY Times.

Street Art Street Life: From the 1950s to Now will open today, September 14, 2008 at the Bronx Museum and remains on view through Jan. 25th, 2009. More at bronxmuseum.org.
