The Cross The Streets exhibition in Rome takes place at the MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art until the 1st October 2017. This multimedia exhibition is a collection of street art and writings which convey the 40 years of history of this urban spectacular. Once a counterculture, which has now largely gone mainstream, street art is a unique avant-garde art movement that unifies youth, minorities and the marginalised in an era of globalisation. The exhibition comprises of an immense 200 pieces of work from local street artists, as well as those from around the world; such as Chicago born Ron English, who is known for his Andy-Warhol-esque pop sculptures and Roman artists Diamond and Lucamaleonte, who are known for their site-specific impressive spray paint works. The exhibition has been conceived by Paulo von Vacano and produced by Drago and is not to be missed.
