Roadsworth: Crossing the Line, by stenev on Feb 6, 2010 18:22:59 GMT 1, Just noticed this is on Sky Arts HD tonight:

From the link:

"Armed with spray paint and handmade stencils, Roadsworth launched an attack on the streets of Montreal, overlaying city asphalt markings with his own playful images. A crosswalk became a giant boot print, vines choked up traffic dividers, and electrical plugs filled parking spots. Each piece begged the question, Who owns public space?

Roadsworth: Crossing the Line details the artist’s prosecution at home and his travels abroad to France, London and Amsterdam, as he imprints himself legitimately (and illegitimately) on foreign streets.

The film reflects Roadsworth’s personal struggle to defend his work, define himself as an artist and address difficult questions about art and freedom of expression."
