Out of the rubble grew a brave movement of public art and display. In King Of The Line we follow 5 of the pioneers of Subway Graffiti Art, as they describe the struggle to inhabit public space with their art and signature. Often erased or criminalized these artists fought against an ever more oppressive police. The film looks at how modern day corporations have now tried to co-opt that same public space with their commercial messaging.</p> <p>With: Lee Quiñones, Sharp, Daze, Quik and Henry Chalfant<br/>Photo credit above: Henry Chalfant</p>http://gwenaellegobe.com/post/49197703014http://gwenaellegobe.com/post/49197703014Tue, 30 Apr 2013 00:30:23 +0430inprogressLeeDazeSharphenry chalfantQuikgraffitinew york1970ssubwaytraintagbronxqueensbrooklynmanhattankidskochlindsayvandalismoutdoor advertisingbillboardsvisual pollutionmayorbloombergstock exchangewall streetpublic space<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8cd9579416d5a78c4caa7434e4060991/tumblr_mkswb6kwzr1r9wmu7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>One day, Stephanie was walking on the beach with an umbrella and suddenly a gust of wind lifted her up in the sky. She landed on a cloud. There wasn’t much room, but it was cozy. She fell asleep as the cloud drifted on. When she woke up, she was on a Desert Island near the land of Brooklyn. The mayor of the island, Gabe, greeted her with colors and weird drawings, and so she decided to stay.
