IKEA art event 2015, by Martin DK on Mar 20, 2015 23:03:00 GMT 1, Bring the street art home
Street art is free for anyone to enjoy. You can just grab a bike and discover art in your own hometown. Itโs the most democratic art form that exists. So we are excited to have street art as the first theme for IKEA art event. Letโs celebrate street art!
We invited 12 street artistsfrom around the world to create 12 unique 70x100cm posters for IKEA. We hope that the different styles and expressions will evoke emotions in the everyday life - of everyone who loves great art.
Limited collection in stores from April 2015.

Edit: Some nice artists there.

Edit: Doh! I just realised. April 1st? It's a joke.

Edit: Too scared to let an artist use Titifreak as a name, but they're more than happy to sell a mattress called Florvag.
I like this. Ha! so he's called TFreak now then? Ikea not liking the Titi ? I don't know why they worried. With some of the names of the products in the average IKEA store, Titifreak could just as easily be a stacking unit or a cake from the cafeteria.

For getting "florvag" in I'd say you're a cert for winning post of the day and with only 43 seconds on the clock too. ;-) |

Ikea are mega rich so probably as much about promoting their brand to urban art fans as promoting urban art in their stores.

However, it reminds me of the fact that they are not adverse to ripping street artists work off if it helps them shift a few bits and bobs.
Spotted in the Ikea in Lakeside...

U mean 'illegal' ones on their building facade right? Why not? They did mention they want anybody to enjoy!

This might have a really positive affect for the street art scene, get people more interested as ikea is everywhere. I have so many friends over the years that bought that bloody pebble stone canvas from ikea, so bland.
I think the crash piece will be immensely popular

Before I knew about this forum it was really hard to find out anything, I never made the link between graff, street, urban to pieces you could buy for your home. Sounds stupid I know but dont think I'm alone.
Now I've gone the other way, more interested in street than pieces you can buy, and all because of Cameron haha!
anyhow my point.... Millions go to Ikea, hopefully will open the eyes of thousands to the amazing artists you see on the streets

This is the ultimate sell-out ! Polishing the own cheap image up with some edgy street art for dumping prices. Those artists who participate are on my boycott list.
Disgusting.

I probably got into street art by Banksy, Walker and Eine's stuff. If I had walked into Ikea 10 years ago and seen these, I don't think I would have given them a second look.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I would say that you need to understand the transitioning of street artist's stuff from walls on the streets to prints to be able to fully appreciate most artist's work.

IKEA art event 2015, by Dr Plip on Mar 21, 2015 12:33:20 GMT 1, They will sell. There are street art fans, flippers, people that want decorative things in the living room. I don't know if it will advance people's knowledge of street art though. IKEA sold bucket loads of prints of pebbles, but I doubt the buyers could name the photographer and I also doubt they discovered an interest in geology because of the print.
This is just another example of the gentrification of street art (whatever that is?).
Coming soon:
STARBUCKS CUPS DESIGNED BY STREET ARTISTS.
