Er informiert, welche spannenden Künstler gerade in der Stadt sind und welche Vernissage man auf keinen Fall verpassen sollte. Danach wird die maßlose Fülle an Galerien, Vernissagen, Aktionen und Auktionen keinen mehr schocken.

GRAFFITI ARGENTINA the book

In the 80′s when graffiti first became part of mainstream art in the United States and Europe, Argentina was living under a dictatorial regime. Long after its demise, the dangers of self-expression still inhibited graffiti’s development there. And when first signs of a local graffiti movement started to appear, an economical crisis stroke the country, closing all incomings of material and information for the few local writers.

In the next few years, the influence of Europe an North America style, the many original and renamed writers travelling to Buenos Aires as Os Gemeos (Brazil), Daim (Germany), Esher (Germany), plus the very Argentinean society origins (60 % of the population in Argentina comes from European immigration), resulted in the creation of a unique style and innovative techniques, giving Argentine Graffiti a special recognition in the international scene.

Directed and produced by the author Maximiliano Ruiz, edited and world wide distributed by the prestigious British publisher Thames & Hudson (Subway Art, Graffiti Brazil, Graffiti World, Graffiti Woman). www.graffitiargentina.com

“Graffiti Argentina is the first book about the local graffiti scene, which in the last few years has become one of the most original and recognized in the world. This book traces the story of Argentina’s vibrant but little-known graffiti scene in four parts – from the efflorescence of graffiti in the 1990s and artists’ city escapades, to the underground use of tags, train graffiti and political paintings, and the sketches and designs that have come off the street to influence the whole visual culture of this exciting country.”
