Bøger om Street art

SURFACE is the fourth coffe table photography book by world renowned Danish photographer Søren Solkær.All the portraits in SURFACE are of street artists. It is a book project that was started in August 2012. The artists are photographed in cities across the world with their own art work , in a subjective and staged manner using artificial light and often props and masks. The resulting portrait aims to investigate the relation between the artist and his work and its space in the urban environment. The aim is to portray the most significant figures in public and street art both on the contemporary scene as well as the pioneering figures. The book will be followed by exhibitions across the world. In June 2015 it will be shown at Øksnehallen in Copenhagen in large formats taking up 3000 square meters of the space with an expected audience of 20.000.

Rosa vokser op i Aarhus i 80’erne blandt hippier, graffitikunstnere, BZ’ere og venstreradikale. Hun bor sammen med sin mor, der går meget op i svampevidenskab og i kampen mod kapitalismen og mindre op i, hvem Rosas biologiske far er.Som voksen forsker Rosa i street art og har specialiseret sig i den anonyme street art-kunstner Blækhat, der provokerer og fascinerer hele verden med sin humoristiske, politiske kunst. Efter et forlist kærlighedsforhold rejser Rosa i Blækhats fodspor og ender i Berlin, hvor hun pludselig kommer meget tæt på gåden om, hvem hun selv er.Blækhat er en rørende og overraskende roman om familiehemmeligheder, om oceandybe venskaber og livskraftig kærlighed og om de politiske ekstremer, der enten skiller os ad eller binder os sammen.Udgivelsen er en storskrift-udgave til svagsynede i serien MAGNUMBØGER Lindhardt og Ringhof.
