BOUWE BOUWER Street Life

Description

BOUWE BOUWER Street Life

BOUWE BOUWER Street Life is a Zine from Stickit.

Bouwe Brouwer photographs his everyday surroundings, as we saw in his previous Stickit zine Yolo, where he was looking for eternal youth. This time it’s about the animals. His neighbour’s cat in the front yard, a dog in the street, and a dead rat in the back alley. Street photography at its finest. The zine comes with a signed and numbered photo print, both in an edition of 50. Don’t sleep!

Stickit Publishing

Stickit started in early 2001 as a platform to promote the emerging street art movement. Stencil graffiti, poster and sticker art as well as murals and street installations. The website became a fast-growing database to show the diversity of the scene. Creations from young, local artists as well as from now renowned artists. The website also contained a forum to discuss the subjects and meet other artists and like-minded people. Stickit made a lot of friends back then, some are still good friends to this day. For many, this burgeoning scene was a movement without rules and boundaries. Anyone could jump in to express their creativity.

Over the years, their focus has remained the same but now promote the scene in a different way. Today Stickit invite artists to put together a monograph of their work. Usually in the form of a zine. In terms of interpretation, they are completely free. Artists come from different disciplines, with a background equally in street art/graffiti. Stickit is based in Utrecht, The Netherlands, but focused on an international audience.
