Street Art Documentary
vom 05.01.2010

"The term Street Art has evolved to define the more visual and engaging aspects of urban art, as opposed to simply text-based graffiti and tagging. This film follows such notorious cult figures as: Blek Le Rat, Nano 4814, Nuria, Sweet Toof, NoNose, and Eine, as they work upon the pavements of Paris Londonand Madrid During the film we pursue these characters as they create new pieces and discuss the varying approaches to Street Art in these three diverse cities.

We also meet some of the artists taking part in the first ever Street Art exhibition at Tate Modern, and explore the rapidly expanding commercial market that's turning street artists into big earners at the auction houses. What does this newfound profitable aspect mean for this formerly underground and anti-establishment scene?"

Blek le Rat in Melbourne
vom 27.11.2009

"HIS disciples call him ''the godfather'' of stencil graffiti, but for 58-year-old Parisian-born Blek le Rat - who takes his name from the small black rodents he painted around Paris some 30 years ago - it's a term of endearment rather than a title implying omnipotence."

20 Questions with Blek le Rat
vom 19.02.2009

Famed street and studio artist Blek le Rat answered 20 Questions for Juxtapoz all the way from his home in France. A pioneer of graffiti writers in Europe, Blek le Rat was one of the first people to use stencils for creating art on the street, using icons instead of writing his name. Inspired by a stenciled portrait of Mussolini, which he saw during a trip to Italy among WWII ruins, he created a silhouette of a rat running along the streets and hasn’t stopped stenciling since.  As a veteran of the urban contemporary movement, Blek has been changing the altering public landscape since the 1980s. Needless to say, his answers reflect his experience in the game of art and life (and has learned enough to answer that "chinese roast duck" is what excites him.)
