Street Art | Off Book | PBS

The street is a space where art thrives, and a place where artists can shape the public aesthetic. Olek, a sculptor whose medium is crochet, and Swoon, a mixed media artist, disrupt daily life with work that creates wonder, emotion, and humor. Equally at home in museums and galleries, both artists also create installations that challenge the formats of traditional art spaces. With powerful layers of meaning, beautiful aesthetics, and using unique media, these two prolific creators are pushing the boundaries of contemporary art.

Featuring:

Olek, Artist
Swoon, Artist

What a pretentious and entitled view of street art. Way to get it completely wrong, and support a culture thief at the same time, PBS!

Even if I enjoy the art, nine times out of ten I can't stand listening to them talk. Most are way too pretentious and full of shit that I find myself rolling my eyes constantly.
