Can street art enter the museum?
The objective of the exhibition curated by Andrea Ingenito is to provide visitors with all the interpretative tools to answer a question that has gripped the art world for years: is street art in all respects art? And if it is, street art can be in museums without losing the deeper meaning of his message?
Banksy
Bansky is certainly the most famous street artist of this decade: elusive, mysterious but with an absolutely unmistakable trait, Bansky was the first to force the boundary between museum art and street art, proposing works of street art on display, for sale, banned at auction.
Obey
Obey, pseudonym of Shepard Fairey, has become famous for the official portrait of Barak Obama in three colors that accompanied the election campaign of the American President and that earned the artist a heartfelt thanks from Obama.
Mr. Brainwash
Mr. Brainwash is a street artist who has a very close relationship with contemporary art museums, since he has already produced many modern installations, colorful and dramatically conceptual.
Mr. Savethewall
The only Italian present in the rose, he will close the exhibition itinerary with his colorful works that have already become meta - art, since they contain Banksy quotes and artists who have made the history of world art, such as Caravaggio and Michelangelo.
