Perkembangan seni stencil di Indonesia belum mendapat pengapresiasian yang baik dalam wilayah seni visual maupun grafis. Hal ini dibuktikannya melalui pameran-pameran yang berskala nasional semisal: Trienalle Grafis, Bienalle dan ajang pameran-pameran. Berbeda dari media lain, perkembangan seni stencil selalu melibatkan publik serta teknologi terapan, yang telah memperluas kemampuan untuk menghasilkan lapisan makna tak terbatas.... Perjumpaan antara medium hingga ruang telah mengubah cara di mana orang memandang realitas.

The Oakland Standard will honor the history of political posters in the Bay Area, and the Museum's acquisition of the All Of Us Or None (AOUON) collection with an evening of printmaking and conversation.
The Oakland Standard has invited the San Francisco Print Collective, Great Tortilla Conspiracy, and street artist Eddie Colla to host informal drop-in workshops. There will be stencil, linocut, digital, and screenprinting methods on display, and an ample supply of paper, T-shirts, and tortillas for printing practice. The workshops will use imagery that pays homage to the AOUON collection, especially the iconic images of the Black Power movement. We've commissioned local artist-activist Jesus Barraza to create a special poster for the event.
At 9 pm, eminent poster artist and former Black Panther Minister of Culture Emory Douglas, artist and activist Favianna Rodriguez, and archivist Lincoln Cushing will speak with Carol A. Wells, director of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics. Amoeba Records will DJ the event, with a short set by Favianna. We'll project images and video of historic poster-making and poster-hanging and highlight some Black Power posters from the Museum's All Of Us Or None Collection.

Nobody knows more about graffiti than Joe Padilla. The paint-shop supervisor for the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, Padilla oversees graffiti removal for all of the city's 220 parks.
A San Francisco native, Padilla, 50, was baptized at Mission Dolores and grew up at 15th and Noe streets. He lives in Richmond with his wife of 24 years, Silvana, and has three children and three granddaughters.
This shop spends $280,000 a year on graffiti abatement alone. People tag retaining walls, benches, sidewalks, pathways, curbs, signs, light poles, picnic tables, pump houses, irrigation boxes. Trees get tagged. Yes, we faux-finish a lot of trees.
We're damn good at graffiti removal. Mayor Newsom made an executive order about four, five years ago, saying all departments must deal with graffiti within 48 hours of it being reported. I have eight guys on my crew, and we average about 80 percent for removing graffiti within two days.
Someone randomly told me today that Banksy was up again in San Francisco. Huh? In the wind and rain? This explains the confusion....

Aim:
To balance the output of street pieces and products for sale
To remain authentic while being commercially viable
——————————————
Maintaining The Balance - Project 3
Customers are invited to purchase a print which funds an identical street piece.
The artist produces two identical prints. One is sent to the customer, the other is pasted in the street.
The print includes the customers name. The customer becomes both a patron of art for the community and an accomplice in an act of “vandalism”.
The artist and customer both share the “fame” aquired with “getting their name up”, and the risk involved with the act of doing so.
