Old school in Milanese Graffiti scene Vecchia Scuola recounts the birth of Graffiti Writing in Milan between 1980 and the early '90s, as seen through the eyes of the protagonists. It was in these years that the culture of Hip Hop and Graffiti Writing spread to Italy, laying the foundation for the development of a prominent national phenomenon that is now ingrained in every Italian city. These pioneering artists guide us in a photographic journey and
tell stories of emotions, friendships and rivalries. Above all, they exhibit their creativity, originality and research, inspired by the American and European giants that preceded them. By publishing the works of the artists that started writing in those years, we hope to pay tribute to this culture and its development. This book is dedicated to those who have made the history of Graffiti Writing Milanese.

Cross the streets
Curated by Paulo von Vacano ISBN 978-88-98565-22-1 Street Art, Graffiti, Street photography 240 pages 23,5 x 30 cm English, Italian Softcover
April 2017 â‚Ź 40.00 $ 42.00 ÂŁ 35.00
All streets lead to Rome There is only one international vanguard that brings together the young, the marginalised and the minorities in the amniotic sac of globalization: Street Art. It has many names; graffiti, writing, bombing, urban art, but only one mission: to transform the city into an open-air museum. Cross the Streets is a multimedia exhibition that celebrates 40 years of the evolution of street art in Rome. No other city has such an untouched history and so it is fitting that Rome begins its cultural regeneration from its streets and its past. Creative inspiration has
always been driven by instinct and these fleeting moments are preserved as etchings on everything from caves to catacombs, from Pasquino to propaganda murals. They serve as warnings, denouncements and exorcisms of fear. Street Art reflects the mood of modern society. Aside from its strength and artistic beauty, the form has always been a political and cultural thermometer. Rome remains one of the most important cities driving this movement and therefore it is right to celebrate it at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome.

Five artists for five decades the ’60s and’ 70. The following decade, however, is stigmatized by Lucamaleonte’s strict incisor techniques, while Louis Gomez will conclude the exposition, interpreting a chiaroscuro of the ’90s through musical suggestions that characterized his adolescence. Each artist will also produce a series of quality gadgets and limited-edition graphics inspired both by the concept and works of the exhibition. An extraordinary point of interest will be the huge 40-foot murals made cooperatively by the five artists who will be taking over the exhibition for the duration of the show.
Five of the most talented Roman Street Artists (Solo, Diamond, Riccardo Beetroot, Luis Gomez and Lucamaleonte) will reinterpret the second half of the twentieth century, according to their own styles and perspectives: each will represent a decade, passing through costumes and socio-political events significant to that half-century. Five decades are backed by Riccardo Beetroot’s bas-reliefs, representing the realities of the Roman townships in the 1950s, followed by the merging of Solo with the liberty of Diamond: the duet of their canvases reminiscent of iconic sociopolitical events of

The imaginary animal in fashion The institutionalisation of spotted patterns in designer fashion is something that characterises the modern era. Modern fashion as inaugurated by haute couture, was bound to take an interest in the animal coat. Out of The Jungle, The imaginary animal in fashion is the first exhibition dedicated to this topic. It explores the evolution of the coat in its various animal forms, ever since Christian Dior infused his clothing lines with animal prints. The animal print can be seen as an ancient totem that reveals European
exoticism stemming from the imperialist roots of the last century. Throughout time, the style has taken on a variety of different forms up to the kaleidoscope of shapes and colours displayed in the exhibition. Jungle, The imaginary animal in fashion is the catalogue of the exhibition that opens on La Venaria Reale, in Turin. Accompanied by critical texts from M. Bobbioni, P. Cale fato, V. Caratozzolo, C. Corbetta, L. Gallo Orsi, S. Gnoli, A. Mancinelli, F. Muzzarelli, L. Scarlini and S. Segre Reinach.

40 years of history through the lens of Letizia Battaglia Letizia Battaglia (Palermo, 1935) is a Sicilian photographer and photojournalist. Although her photos document a wide spectrum of Sicilian life, she is best known for her work on the Mafia. Over the years, Battaglia took some 600,000 images whilst documenting the ferocious internal war of the Mafia, and its assault on civil society. Battaglia sometimes found herself at the scene of four or five different murders in a
single day. She photographed the dead so often that she described herself as a moving morgue. “Suddenly,” she once said, “I had an archive of blood.” A large selection of her iconic black and white images will be presented in the catalogue, guiding the reader along a journey into one of post-war Italy’s darkest periods. Drawing from Battaglia’s personal archive the book also includes more recent projects.

Welcome to Kingston, Jamaica Known as one of the most influential photographers of street culture in the new millennium, Boogie emerges once again to spark our curiosity and narrate authentic stories in his own raw style. A Wah Do Dem, Boogie’s sixth monograph, and his first one in color, takes us far away from the familiarity of the West, and throws us into the noisy and cryptic underbelly of Kingston, Jamaica. Through his pictures, Boogie illustrates both the madness and humanity of a complex place, where poverty,
violence and crime are often dominant elements of daily life. He relies on his instincts to gain the trust of people who live on the edge of society, and to photograph their world in an honest and objective way. “I was waiting in a back alley, all the way down the lane, in one of the sketchiest neighborhoods in Kingston. It was pitch dark, and it felt like I had been waiting forever. At some point, a guy wearing a creepy horror movie mask and carrying an M-16 appeared from the dark,”

The objects that have inspired him This volume complete the anthology of WK-Interact. The power of the object it’s the theme that weaves through his expansive creative works. For him, simple objects represent history, evoke intrigue and have provided endless amounts of inspiration for what would later become known as his most important creations. By the mid 90’s, his work became so widely recognized that large media outlets, including The New York Times, sought him out for interviews, steer his career towards new levels as they commented on his work in the same breath as other “up and
comers” including artists like Shepard Fairey. For most of his life he has intentionally dedicated himself to images that he knows will naturally deteriorate on their own, changing and aging with time. In this context we understand his fascination for the utility of objects and gear. For WK, the vision is always in motion, but that doesn’t mean the inspiration needs to be. Welcome to WK Gear. The story of the objects that have inspired him; a glimpse into his environment and way of thinking. They are the elements that inspire the work, before the work even exists.

From nature to Manga Published on the occasion of his comeback with the solo show “Even a Doll Can Do It”, from February 14th to April 4th, at the Dorothy Circus Gallery in Rome, the diamond point in the European Pop Surrealist scene. The artist puts up feminine bodies, half dolls, with japanese features, painted in black and white through the depth mapping technique, which gets from digital research to gouache and acrylic painting, achieving a multilayered and tridimensional effect, full of transparencies, inspired by the
holograms and the X-ray vision. The book, with its elegant cover and numerous images, allows the reader to discover Kazuki Takamatsu’s iconography, its roots – from nature to manga – and the dialogue between popular culture, technology and the study of moods and states of mind. The result is an intimate universe, permeated by melancholy, in which the choice of monochromatism recalls the fight between the good and the evil, the marginal area between the light and the darkness.

2012 € 50.00 $ 60.00 £ 42.00
The city’s memories The Wrinkles of the City is a world scale project. JR starts by doing portraits of elderly people who represent the memory of the city he picks for its interesting past. JR interviewed each subject of his pieces, because he considers them as a sort of witnesses of the changes their city has gone through. The book documents the French artists’ work in 2010 photographing Shanghai’s elderly inhabitants, plastering their portraits on the city streets and buildings, and finally, recounting their personal memories and views on society. Essentially, the book offers a glimpse of the city’s
history over the last century, notable especially due to the significant changes it has experienced, from wars and revolutions to economic development and modernization. An important account that links the past with future generations, told in an artistic, poetic, social, and above all, human way. “JR, When you paste monumental photographs in the streets, you paste in a community, and the meaning of these images is not your personal thing, because their significance goes beyond what meets the eye. The observer meets reality and is forced to reflect”.

Wrinkles... the saga continues Here comes the second chapter with The Wrinkles of The City LA. Street Wizard, Jedi of the Photography, JR's projects coagulate several global experiences which make him a Gatekeeper of the rage of the street with the decadence of the American empire. For the first time in the heart of America, in the City of the Angels, JR’s unique way of operating devastates the mecca of youth and the unofficial embassy of the American culture conquering the streets bringing hope and love for a new era. Each JR’s large-scale photo mural has its own history and reason to be there. To have a critical look at the work of JR is to enter
a world where every action has its meaning, is to understand the message that the artist wants to send to anyone who approaches, accidentally or deliberately, to one of his portraits. Los Angeles is the place where the Hollywood myth was born, with its stars system, the glamour and the beauty being part of the identity of the city. For this project, JR wished to oppose the wrinkles of old people living in LA and the marks of their past with the image of perfection or regenerated beauty of the XXIst century. A collectable table book who will remain in the history of photography and contemporary art.

The visual culture of punk in Europe Europunk serves as the catalogue for the widely acclaimed namesake exhibition, held in 2011 at Académie de France à Rome – Villa Medici in Rome, Italy and later at the Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain in Geneva, Switzerland. The book focuses on the visual culture of Punk in Europe in the second half of the 1970s. Rather than telling a well rehearsed history that follows the path of musical influences, Europunk begins with the simultaneous appearance of an alternative way of creating and using
images in England and France around 1975-76. Europunk gathers a vast array of visual material, some of it well known, some under-recognized: fanzines, posters, clothes, paintings, objects, record covers, flyers, films… By stressing the incredible quality and vitality of these alternative artistic productions, the book shows how the visual subculture of Punk embodied both a desire for a “tabula rasa” and a cultural renewal that were synonymous with a new energy and a principle of maximized creative freedom.

Sparkle and sensuality Miss Van has gone from painting the curvy, enticing pin-ups in the streets of Toulouse, to painting the melancholic and subtle works of this new exhibition. Thanks to her past year exhibitions in Barcelona Los Angeles, San Diego, Mexico, London or Copenhagen, she has found many new sources of inspiration, whom have enriched her already complex world. Not only has she let herself be influenced by the contemporary artists with whom she has shared many privileged moments, but she has also borrowed the techniques and
subtle lighting effects of past master artists, focusing her work more on the quality of her painting and less on self-asserting herself as is the tradition in street art. With this new series she has undergone a beautiful evolution towards a more mature and refined style of painting, but without ever losing touch with her street art origins. By adding a generous dose of coquetry and mischief to the ingredients of her work, she manages to bring out all the glamour, sensuality and sparkle of the female characters she has created.

The first Street Art anthology ever This book’s goal is to explore the reasons why style writing as some call it, graffiti, or street art is turning out to be the major art movement at this turn of the century. From graffiti pioneers in the 60s, to how street art branched into the art world during the 80s, to whatever new issues and practices have emerged since the 90s, to which artists make a difference, the book covers it all. Spanning over four decades, the book is divided into three sections each containing detailed accounts of the emergence of different
styles and techniques. Each period is complete with 2-3 page biographies for each considered artist, covering their beginnings, their artistic career, along with a personal style review, as well as an artwork analysis section. Overall, the book offers 50 complete biographies of top street artists. There is major talent in the history of graffiti and this talent is, in the end, the only answer to the infamous “But… is it really art?” question. This book is about why this is Art. The first Street Art anthology ever published.
