TATE SHOT: STREET ART 

“Tate Modern invited a group of Madrid-based street artists to make work in the streets surrounding the gallery. In this film we follow the artists as they respond to the challenge. With inflatable tongues, modified shop signs and photorealistic spray painting, Banksy it isn’t.”

The first street artist looked at tries to encompass the inside of the building showing through the indentations of the building, revealing a comical monster.

Another artist, Nano 4814, creates street art on signs and hangs them in the street for the public to view. Other artists paint geometric patterns in the street on walls.

I really like the idea of street art as it is for the whole public to view and appreciate and i also feel like it gives the area a character and life which is accentuated by this art.

MARTIN PARR

Martin Parr is a British documentary photographer, photojournalist and photobook collector. He takes intimate looks at aspects of life particularly documenting the social classes of England.

He’s started “The Foundation” in Bristol, which displays his photography. It not only stores his own archive, but celebrate other British photographer’s work. He likes to take bright and colourful images which also have a serious note to them. He likes the pictures to relate to peoples lives, making it more enticing to the viewer.

I like Martin Parr’s work as i feel like he really encompasses the British society into his photo’s and allows room for the viewer to interpret the subjects story and who they are.
