Beat Streets magazine: 10 Years of Wooster Collective: 2003

Faile, copyright

10 Years of Wooster Collective: 2003–2013 gathered works by street artists such as Shepard Fairey, JR, The London Police, Space Invader, Eltono, Faith47, Above, Aiko, Faile and Blek Le Rat in the Jonathan LeVine pop up gallery.

Wooster Collective founders Sara and Marc Schiller acted as curators for this group exhibition. The Wooster Collective was founded in 2001. The Schillers' devotion to promote street art has proven to be essential in the documentation and the embodiment of the street art movement.

This impressive urban collection of wheat-pastes, silk-screens, outdoor murals and installations, canvasses, photographs was not to be witnessed in its original context but the wide array of expressive forms to convey socio cultural messages remains tangible.
