Street Artz : Street art is any art developed in public spaces — that is, "in the streets" — though the term usually refers to art of an illicit nature, as opposed to government sponsored initiatives. The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations. Typically, the term Street Art or the more specific Post-Graffiti is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art.

The motivations and objectives that drive street artists are as varied as the artists themselves. There is a strong current of activism and subversion in urban art. Street art can be a powerful platform for reaching the public, and frequent themes include adbusting, subvertising and other culture jamming, the abolishment of private property and reclaiming the streets. Other street artists simply see urban space as an untapped format for personal artwork, while others may appreciate the challenges and risks that are associated with installing illicit artwork in public places. However the universal theme in most, if not all street art, is that adapting visual artwork into a format which utilizes public space, allows artists who may otherwise feel disenfranchised, to reach a much broader audience than traditional artwork and galleries normally allow.

PARIS : Graph aux Frigos (Paris XIII) : Les Frigos sont un site de création et de production dans le 13e arrondissement de Paris, situé rue des Frigos, dans le quartier de Paris Rive Gauche, entre la Bibliothèque nationale de France et l'université Denis-Diderot, sise depuis janvier 2007 dans les anciens Grands Moulins de Paris.

Entrepôt frigorifique ferroviaire, construit dans les années 1920, devenu friche industrielle à partir des années 1970, le bâtiment a ensuite été occupé dans les années 1980 par de nouveaux arrivants, artistes et artisans, attirés par la qualité de ses volumes et de son isolation thermique et phonique.

Les premiers occupants furent des squatteurs, artistes et non-artistes mêlés, mais rapidement les occupants successifs ont contracté des conventions d'occupation et payé des loyers. Les étages se sont transformés en ateliers d'artistes, studios de musique... Depuis, des constructions modernes encerclent ce batiment.

Voici quelques "tags"... expression artistique pour certains, souillures pour d'autres...

Toutes ces photos ont été réalisées avec un D90 + Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
