The Bridge of Graffiti

The bridges of Graffiti

Topics: 

This exhibition comes thirty years after Arte di Frontiera. New York Graffiti, an exhibition curated by Francesca Alinovi that brought the main exponents of New York graffiti—including famous artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Futura2000—to Italy in 1984. In attempting to historicize the cultural influences and exchanges of artists and works that have crossed the ocean, The Bridges of Graffiti focuses on those graffiti artists who later developed—or who already used—a figurative style, and who evolved and reinvented themselves—Boris Tellengen, Doze Green, Eron, Futura2000, Mode2, SKKI ©, Jayone, Todd James, Zero-T, and Teach.
“The Bridges of Graffiti” settles in a proper frontier, the San Basilio Terminal, building bridges so that past generations' major contributions to this culture can finally be acknowledged and put into context. It’s an ideal bridge but also a tangible one, chronicling the influence and cross-pollination of Artists and Artworks that crossed the Ocean; the exhibition is about those “writers” who either already had or later on developed a figurative style as well, and have been evolving and reinventing themselves, staying ahead or outside the curve. 

The exhibition received the patronage of UNESCO (Commissione Nazionale Italiana).

Curated by Fondazione de Mitri and Mode2 with the consultancy of Andrea Caputo and DeeMo.
Produced by Carlo Pagliani and Claudia Mahler and Sartoria Comunicazione.
Organized by Associazione Inossidabile with the support of Autorità Portuale di Venezia.
Architectural project produced by  Venezia Terminal Passeggeri.
