LOOKBOOK 019 A L A G The genre with no end in sight Graffiti has come a long way since the kids of the Philadelphian and New York ghettos were scribbling their names on their block. What was once a silent scream to be seen rather then heard, catapulted itself into an ever-growing art form. The mold set by writers of the 70's and soon after graffiti found its way in grand scale on the outside of the New York subway system. Modern graffiti as we know it was born. Graffiti spent the next 20-30 years evolving and maturing. The whole time, the underlying connection however loose it had become, was LETTERS. What was once a set pattern (first outline, fill-in, background, final outline), morphed vigerously into new territories where the shape and form of letters themselves were being constantly challenged, reinvented and reinterpreted on a daily basis. Final outlines first, backgrounds in the fill-in, or no background at all. In contemporary graffiti, any idea is possible and it is not reliant on the institution of the gallery, or the green light from the "industry" to survive. 70
In contemporary graffiti it's not relevant if you’re old or young. It matters what you do, where you did it and how it looked. Instagram, Facebook and the buff limits your window of real world exposure as with most graffiti that came and went before you. Documentation and constant creation is your only hope to survive. Unlike in the white cube where artists are bought and sold/come and go, on the street your only as good as your last idea. In 2018 we were lucky enough to support and nurture some of these letter innovators that lay their focus not on regurgitating the classics, but in creating new classics for others to regurgitate later. www.montana-cans.blog/Graffiti 71
