Tate Modern Museum

Holds Street Art Exhibition

It's a bit of a surprise that the Tate Modern, the globally esteemed

London art museum, has recently opened an exhibition of street art.

But with the international explosion of street art in recent years, the

countless number of books on the subject recently published,

broader mainstream appeal and adoption of the aesthetic by a

growing cadre of designers and the media, it should not be a surprise at all.

The Tate is a massive sign of recognition of street art's place in the

wider culture. The show has created space in its galleries

(and fittingly on the exterior of the museum itself) for works by

an international group of street artists. Two of our favorites,

New York collective Faile and Brazilian brothers Os Gemeos, have

work at the Tate exhibition, which runs until August 25.
