@reel 2: Thanks for your comment. I never meant to group CutUp and Posterboy into the same intellectual grouping with their work – I was only referencing their chosen source material as the thread that bound them, as with all referenced in this post. I’ve followed CutUp for years, know them personally, and have the highest respect and admiration for their work, their intellect, and their integrity. I agree with you, and CutUp remains in a league of their own; no offense intended.

I also agree that there is a need for a critical dialogue on ‘street art’. The only problem is that, in most cases, those who step forward to create a critical dialogue are in fact art critics. While it may seem ironic for me to say this, considering that I’ve directed, curated for and worked with a number of galleries in my career, I don’t think art critics are necessarily the ones to lead the dialogue. One of the inspirations for all the shows I’ve done and projects like Urban Play in Amsterdam is to be part of the dialogue from a “visual report out” perspective. But more is needed from other areas, I very much agree. Thanks.

i really don’t understand how you can group cutup with posterboy (in your introduction). Yes, they both work with posters on the street but that is where the relation ends. Cutup have a meaningful and intellectually rigorous approach to their work whereas posterboy does not appear to have this depth.

When will we have some serious criticism of ‘street art’? If the scene pupports to be an art movement and can be happy with a show at the tate modern – then surely a discussion of what is good and what is bad and why should follow. A dialogue is important for the development of this work.

Hi Scott,

This is great – really nice to see a bunch of different people’s work collected in one post, and nice commentary too. I am always reading your posts on my RSS feed – I always enjoy them but I don’t always comment. Keep up the good work!
