{"product_id":"stencil-pirates-9781932360158","title":"Stencil Pirates","description":"\u003cp\u003eStencil Pirates is the most comprehensive book dedicated to the street art of the stencil. The book contains an exhaustive collection of close to 1000 photographs from around the globe. The photos show work by hundreds of different artists  exposing the width and breadth of stencil graffiti  from political to abstract and purely aesthetic  from tagging to public announcements. Stencil Pirates offers in-depth writings on the complex history of stencil graffiti  its political context  and how stencils fit into the larger pantheon of street expression. It discusses stenciling as a way for political movements to resist and mark territory  whether as part of gentrification struggles in New York and San Francisco or as part of the general uprising in Argentina over the past couple years.  Stencil artists are the printmakers of the urban landscape  dropping art on sidewalks  walls  park benches  bus stops  store windows  etc. By far the most accessible form of printmaking  stencil artists simply need a piece of cardboard  a knife  a can of spray paint and something to express. Stenciling is a form of expression that boldly reclaims public space by inserting political or metaphysical messages into corporate landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67930198671413,"sku":"ByrdShop_1932360158","price":29.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781932360158.jpg?v=1794207584","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/stencil-pirates-9781932360158","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
