For several decades, art has taken over the world's largest museum: the street.
Between the embodiment of freedom of expression and societal awareness, public spaces are taking on an added touch of soul, and street furniture is transforming into an offbeat artistic object. While its legitimacy has been demonstrated through the pens of journalists and within museums, urban art was truly born in the street. Many artists are investing in this new territory and its modes of expression, thus contributing to its inclusion in the history of art.
Urban Legends is an invitation to discover this protean urban universe from the 1980s to the present day. A collection of photographs retraces the exhibition's journey, organized at the Bordeaux Submarine Base.
Drawing on works by renowned artists such as Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Jacques Villeglé, Invader, JonOne, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, JR, Roti, Pantonio… and in situ installations by iconic and emerging artists such as AEROSEPT, ARDPG, Bault, Stéphane Carricondo, Ërell, Charles Foussard, Romain Froquet, Gris1, Madame, Monkey Bird Crew, Nasti, Andrea Ravo Mattoni and Rouge, this book explores the liveliness and richness of the movement.
