Steve Lazarides sets the record straight on street art., by Sacked... on Dec 9, 2015 11:53:49 GMT 1, Steve Lazarides, polite, eloquent, but all the same the no-nonsense โaccidentalโ art dealer who, given the time, will set straight any misconception you ever held with regard to so-called โstreet artโ. He is deeply passionate about his artists, less so about the milieu that surrounds him. Lazarides rose to fame through his links to the ever-elusive Banksy, since parting ways in 2009 the gallery has continued to champion some of the most popular artists of today. With a recent exhibition of work by French photographer JR having just drawn to a close, today sees the opening of "Measuring Land" by Oliver Jeffers, on display through December 23.

Steve Lazarides sets the record straight on street art., by Dr Plip on Dec 9, 2015 12:10:19 GMT 1, "I gave JR his first show in London, so weโve been working together since 2008. I always swore Iโd never represent anyone who did photography. He used to email me stuff and I would send it straight to the bin. That went on for at least a year."
Interesting interview. I completely agree with him about the term "urban art".

Maybe a bit off-topic but how odes Banksy get stuff out to the punters now he doesn't have a gallerist or any public interface? I guess canvases are still being painted and produced!

When will tickets be available ?
I fancy a f**k in the muck
Steve Lazarides plans to open a temporary fairgroundโcomplete with rides, music, street food and, of course, artโnext to the O2 arena
"The London art dealer Steve Lazarides plans to open a very different kind of fair at the end of next April. The former representative of the street artist Banksy is due to build a temporary funfair on a ten-acre site next to the O2 arena in southeast London.
Designed by artists, the functioning fairground will include a wall of death, carousel, shooting ranges, music acts and gourmet street food, but it will also act as โone big performance pieceโ, Lazarides says. There will also be an over-18 section for adults.
Around 20 artists, musicians and performers are due to participate including the Parisian photographer JR, Robert Del Naja of the music group Massive Attack and the DJ and producer James Lavelle, who is co-organising the show with Lazarides. โI wanted to include people who have pushed the boundaries of culture,โ Lazarides says.
JR is due to create a giant snow globe; while the Portuguese street artist Alexandre Farto (who goes by the name of Vhils) plans to carve a face into the ground that will double as a maze.
Tickets will cost around ยฃ15 and the fairground has a maximum capacity of 5,000. None of the works will be for sale, according to Lazarides, who says that he hopes to recoup costs via ticket sales. There are also plans to send a core element of the fair on a tour around the world, possibly starting in the Middle East."
