New book out in February examines the continuum of graff to street art to public art, much of it conceptual.

From our friends at nuart09.blogspot.com

Releasing in February from Gestalten, Urban Interventions highlights a group of artists whose work is (in essence) a progression from graffiti and street art. Larger in scale, these works challenge viewers to rethink their notions about the urban environment. The volume is edited by R. Klanten, S. Ehmann, and M. Huebner.

I always hate it when a big piece of gum gets stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

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 and rural landscapes, these mostly spatial interventions bring art to the masses. They turn the street into a studio.

Zippity doo da, zippity dayyyyy.
