While in Barcelona last Fall, one of my favorite things to find was graffiti. The city is rife with artful graffiti and bold, sometimes clever, placement of such. I took as many photos as there was graffiti where I went, but the city's collection was far more expansive than my tourista legs were walking. Barcelona's visual identity was and is powerfully vibrant and distinctive while in colorful graphic flux. I imagine the city has it's issues with vandalism, but it has learned to embrace the ever-present street arts as it's own. Today, International Design Network's (IdN) facebook post brought this to my attention: ART BRUT : A Tribute to the Barcelona Graffiti Scene.
