Summary:
Rodriguez Plaza analyzes from aesthetic, anthropological and sociological perspectives, the street paintings and graffiti in Chile since 1963 when the first mural of political propaganda was created in Valparaiso. The brigades Ramona Parra, Chacón and Camilo Torres; the incursions of professional artists; the accusations of abuse during the regime of dictator Pinochet in 1963 and the Hip Hop culture are some of the topics of the book. This text is an analytical proposition regarding a type of work and expression, simultaneously banal and particular, created in public spaces and surfaces of contemporary Chile. The city insinuates and transfigures the artisanal traditions, today interlaced with the popular and massive. Street art (murals, graffiti, street writings) is an artistic expression that reflects the chaotic movement of the city through images inspired in comics, television and other mass media images that gives them a popular-mass and ephemeral character.
