Description & Specifications

After "Wall Interventions" vol.I, "Street Art" in Athens, from Oxy editions, another album is released, the second part of the tribute to urban culture and street art.

New, immediate, subversive, flexible, and quite iconic, stencil graffiti appeared on the walls of cities in the early 2000s and came to disrupt the "cleanliness" of the urban landscape of modern metropolises.

Part of metra-graffiti, the new trend in the subversive field of public wall intervention, stencils have secured their place in the global and Athenian "wall culture". It is both art and technique. It is an aesthetic intervention but also social critique.

It is a multifaceted phenomenon that brings together the previously different traditions in aesthetics and social intervention in public space, changing the way we see and experience the urban landscape, thus changing our city itself.

"Stencil in Athens, Wall Interventions" vol. II contains photographic material from the walls of Athens and is a complete archive of this new street aesthetic.
