Stencil Graffiti Capital
February 22, 2006
ANTI-GRAFFITI campaigners may fume at the idea of Melbourne being tagged the nation's stencil graffiti capital, but they need to consider the aesthetic value, a city gallery curator says.
Andy Mac is curating the exhibition on stencil graffiti at Citylights and Until Never Gallery in Hosier Lane, and thinks Melbourne can claim to be home to stencil art masters.
"There have been prominent stencillers in Melbourne since the early '90s - about a dozen or so from then who built a reputation," he said.
