Graffiti/Post Graffiti Screening and Panel Discussion

In 1984, Paul Tschinkel’s ART/new york issued the documentary video Graffiti/Post Graffiti. The film captures a unique moment in the intertwined narratives of graffiti and art history, as aggressive anti-vandalism legislation and the lure of the marketplace brought/drew many artists off the street into the gallery. Through original interviews with artists (including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Rammellzee, and Lady Pink) and gallerists (including Patti Astor and Tony Shafrazi), Graffiti/Post Graffiti examines key individuals, exhibitions, and venues during this transition.

A moderated panel discussion will follow the screening, featuring Patti Astor and Fab Five Freddy, participants in Graffiti/Post Graffiti, as well as Marc H. Miller and Paul Tschinkel, codirectors of the video.
