Evolving from graffiti and street art, urban interventions are the next generation of artwork to hit public space. Using any and all of the components that make up urban landscapes, these mostly spatial works bring art to the masses. They turn the street into a studio, laboratory, club, and gallery and challenge us to rediscover our environment and interact with it in new ways. This is the first book to document these very current, personal art projects in a comprehensive way. It shows the growing connections and interplay of this scene with art, architecture, performance, and installation as it turns public spaces into surprising and provoking individual experiences.

Not to be filed under history, photography, design or nonfiction, as it contains outright lies and outrageous subjective opinion, this book is definitely about street art. It is also about now. Fungus grows on your collected wild-style pioneers. Vile passions rage between old schools and new. Shit flies out from under the hammer at auction houses and property developers fund street art shows to liberal press fanfare. Oh, and Banksy hits the West Bank. Is anyone taking this stuff seriously? Should it be taken seriously? Is it all just an immense daisy chain of poker faces, irony and mind games? Buy it HERE

"Rene Gagnon is wrestling with powerful sublimations. But which of two powers is he sublimating? Is it the loopy, jazzy calligraphy, still fresh, of his graffiti-artist boyhood or is it the abstract expressionism of Rene the art student? The energy of his wall-sized canvasses points to a "home boy" living on the edge of both worlds." James Foritano for Artscope Magazine
