According to Allan Schartzman's 1985 book, Street Art, many artists who choose to work outside the context of a traditional studio often do so in an attempt to communicate directly with the public, free from the confines and class boundaries of gallery and museum spaces. This site, from Google Cultural Institute, curates some of that work. To begin, readers will want to scroll down through the landing page to access audio tours of street art projects in Buenos Aires, New York City, and Malmo, Sweden, or browse online exhibitions, such as the 2004 Kosmic Krylon Garage, in which Kenny Scharf transformed the Pasadena Museum of California Art's garage into an artistic space. In addition, the Artist Stories section follows several street artists as they create their work.
