Creative violation. Rebel art of street stencil
Description
Called art by some and vandalism by others, street art transforms the depersonalized, over-commercialized urban landscape into a forum for self-expression. Filmed in New York City, Pittsburgh, and Toronto, this edgy program documents the exploding underground art form of street stenciling and explores its roots in political street art, industrial signage, and freehand graffiti. John MacPhee, author of Stencil Pirates, and other stencil artists pose critical questions about the role of free speech in public spaces as they describe their motives and demonstrate their methods. Transgressive, subversive, creative: that's the rebel art of the street stencil.
