Street Art at the Tate Modern

On Thursday, I had the pleasure of heading down to the Tate to see the street art exhibit currently on show.

the outside of the Tate exhibits work from 6 different artists. Around the Tate, they have commissioned a few more works. They have tried to make these as authentic as possible utilizing doors, walls and other slightly hidden places.

They also had a booth set up outside which helped define the different types of graffiti.
What I was the most taken by was the street art that was not commissioned by the Tate. There seemed to be something extremely contrived and not that interesting about the commissioned art. Street art is meant to be street- something that someone threw up in the middle of the night in an inconspicuous location- where if someone stumbles on it, smiles and acknowledges the talent.
My favorite street art that I found while on the Tate Street Art walking tour were:

Wear Beard

Photographer tagging ( I love love love his proverb!!!)
and of course

SPACE INVADERS!!!!!

and AGAIN!!!! 2 down, 99 to go.
