description: BILINGUAL ENGLISH/SPANISH EDITIONThe need to break on through and create interference in this world we're living in calls for action. It feels good to be here now and for ever... Let's get out on the streets! To stencil forever! As if in response to these words by artist DOMA here is a veritable wealth of vibrant stencil art on Argentina's streets. The images are presented without the works are intricate simple beautiful colorful informative and funny. Hasta La Victoria Stencil! is an exploration of all things stencil--from stencil art's first appearance in Argentina in 10000 B.C. to the ways in which stencils are used as a reaction to a socio-political situation as an art-form as poetic terrorism and as a history lesson (after all the book's title is adapted from Che Guevara's immortal words Hasta La Victoria Siempre!). It also provides detailed stencil instructions for readers (Stick everything in a bag wait till it gets dark and find a wall). Quite appropriately this highly topical book's cover features a die-cut title... Until Victory Stencil!En pocos meses hemos asistido al redescubrimiento popularizacin e institucionalizacin del stencil graffiti una de las formas de intervencin urbana ms interesantes y actualmente la ms popular y creativa de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Cooptado recientemente por la poltica partidaria la universidad la publicidad y el diseo grfico corporativo entendemos que la participacin de este libro en ese proceso no deseado para un medio que se pretende contestatario y trasgresor queda justificada por un doble el de registrar una expresin popular extremadamente vulnerable a la desaparicin por blanqueo y el de ser un llamado de atencin o convocatoria perceptual sobre esas pequeas seales que resultan sorpresivas para quien las ve e invisibles para la mayora de los peatones. Lase este libro como un guio para comenzar a sorprenderse. O a estampar.
