One of the best things of urban or street art<\/strong> for me is that artists use materials and spaces that most of us \"Urban<\/a>would probably recycle or reuse for other purposes\u00a0in the best of cases<\/span>. That was quite clear in the Urban Masters Exhibition in the London\u00a0East End.<\/p>\n

I realise that this might not be the most enthusiastic of presentations for an exhibition that I enjoyed quite a bit. Go on reading if you are curious enough to see alternative platforms<\/strong> for art works. I am posting a few pictures below from that exhibition.<\/p>\n

To begin with, the signal that shows the way to the exhibition venue is written in a piece of<\/strong> cardboard<\/strong>. Then, the exhibition venue. There have been quite a few discussions over the decades about the relationship between content-container<\/a> or art works on display-exhibition venue. The Guggenheim Museum has been cited in relation to it. In this case, the venue used was an old warehouse, and a bit smaller than expected for this type of exhibition. Quite urban a venue.<\/p>\n

Have a few boxes<\/strong> to throw out? Check this Roa. The different doors opened to reveal the animal\u00b4s skeleton, etc. So creative.<\/p>\n

\"Urban<\/a><\/p>\n

You can use a piece of wooden board<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Do you have a few spare pins? Draw a portrait of Picasso! The pins below have a spicy topic. Click on the second picture to make it bigger and, hopefully, see the pins a bit closer.<\/p>\n

\"Urban<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Urban<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u00b4t know what to do with your floppy disks<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

\"Urban<\/a>\u00a0\"Urban<\/a><\/p>\n

I thought this was the best bit of the exhibition<\/strong>. Different portraits depending on the viewer\u00b4s position. The artist uses wood.<\/p>\n

One minor point that I often wonder about – originality<\/strong> in art. I know pop artists did even conceive their artistic works with the idea of mass production in mind. That is, they knew their work could be copied and they even encouraged it somehow. But, Lichtenstein inspired works are truly ubiquitous. Well, after all it is often said that everything was invented up to 1978.<\/p>\n

Any thoughts?<\/p>\n
