Art Is Trash and other topics
Many posts follow Francisco de Pájaro, alias Art Is Trash, who paints on discarded furniture and rubbish on the streets of Barcelona. A good starting point is the portrait Art Is Trash: the street artist who turns rubbish into art. Other articles compare Art Is Trash with names such as Joan Miró, Daniel Spoerri or El Pez, collect videos and photos, or give tips on where to buy art.
From the street to the gallery
Street pieces often disappear overnight, so the blog also points to places where you can see originals that last. It also covers prints, signed books and other ways to take a piece of Barcelona street art home. Read Street Art in Barcelona for an overview, or look at the Art Is Trash works at Artevistas Gallery.
