| All art should be accessible, from the newer lowbrow movement to the Old Masters. Some prefer concrete and spray paint as a means of expression rather than isolated paintings in a climate-controlled room with the soft shoe of museum security as a backdrop. Not all great works are destined to be housed; hence the Wooster Collective.
Wooster is a street in SoHo, New York and the celebration of street art at woostercollective.com is a testament to art by the people, for the people. In addition to providing an amazing gallery of street art from around the world, the site provides a huge network of artists’ personal sites, so you can track down your favourites or just browse the links for stencils, magazines or artist interviews.
Set aside a few hours to explore the site’s full content, including coverage of a street-art walking tour through Lower Manhattan, artists’ guides to the cities they love and podcasts from artists on the street. With work broken down into stickers, posters, graffiti, stencils and antiwar street art, there’s enough to keep your computer humming for a few hours. |
