The reason we were drawn to this book was due to the debate we’ve been having at PSFK about street art. More and more, the ’street art’ we notice around us seems to be little more than illustration, a quick splat by naughty nocturnal graphic design students. The work contained in Hidden Track: How Visual Culture Is Going Places feaures work that has something missing in much of the contemporary/street art we witness today: consideration. The intentions of the art have been studiously thought out. The blurb:
Hidden Track shows how contemporary visual culture is breaking out of
the second dimension and printed form and entering into
three-dimensional space, where it can be experienced. The book
demonstrates how rooms are being occupied creatively and how items are
being transformed. It presents the diverse exhibition possibilities
that currently exist – a spectrum ranging from live painting to
installations and 3D objects.
