Here is a piece called "Street Art, Italian Style" from Current TV.
There is a fine line between street "art" and "graffiti," and even the connotation of graffiti makes one think that it is "ugly" or "unwanted." So in watching this video, please keep in mind that we are not saying this type of expression is 100% on-the-level (but it is REALLY excellent and exciting work).
The thing that excites us so much about this vignette is the free nature of the work. Several times you hear the interviewer explain the same notion that excites us with the NoDa Public Gallery ideas: it is not forever, and that is the most exciting part...the fact that if someone is at the right place in the world at the right time, they get to see/be a part of something that true spontaneous, creative, exciting and definitive of the time and place.
Enjoy!
