Vandals, An Evening with Marc Vallée
- Jul 01, 2016
Urban Spree Galerie invites you to an exhibition and talk with London-based documentary photographer Marc Vallée on the occasion of the release of his new zine Vandals and the City.
With a forward by urban geographer Dr. Oliver Zanetti, Vandals and the City is Marc’s eighth self-published zine and documents a London graffiti crew.
Marc is best known for exploring the tension between public and private space in the context of contemporary youth culture. His work is visually polemic and rejects the notion of impartiality. Graffiti, defensible architecture, skateboarding and political dissent are just some of the subjects he has documented over a career of more then twenty years.
Marc’s pictures, zines and books have been published and exhibited worldwide. Both Tate Britain in London and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City hold his work in its library collections.
Signed copies of Vandals and the City will be available on the night and in the Urban Spree Bookshop.
Vandals, An Evening with Marc Vallée: Friday, July 22nd at Urban Spree Galerie.
The talk will be chaired by Berlin based academic Sandra Bartoli and founding member of Büro für Konstruktivismus.
Doors & Exhibition: 19:00
Q & A with Marc Vallée: 20:00
