About:
Full of vibrant, energetic
and explosive images, Broken Windows gives voice to an art movement
that is largely undocumented and often misunderstood. In New York in
the 80s graffiti moved from the subway trains to large walls which allowed
it to become more refined and concept driven. Because walls provide
a more stable and reliable surface they have encouraged the artists
to create works of much greater depth and complexity and the form is
now arguably at its peak. Although it is often indecipherable to the
world at large, as Broken Windows shows, graffiti is a radical and daring
means of visual communication.
Features extensive interviews, the largest collection of women's 'graffiti'
to date, and more than 180 artists from The United States, Germany,
France, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Holland, Italy, and Norway.
