Cedar Lewisohn is am artist, a curator and a writer. In the first one hous of his time he used it to talk abouthis career as a whole. He is a curator at “Tate” and has worked at different projects such as “Rings Of Saturn and Orbitecture”.
Basicall, Cedar generally spoke about his career to us, meaning that ir was not that relevant to us at that time. Next, he moved on to Street Graphics “Graffitti Revolution”. he lessly spoke about his book but more about its contents.

Here are some of the things in which Cedar loves/have been involved into doing.
Cedar states that Street art has always been in galleries and outside of galleries, from the late 1960s onwards. It’s up to the artist to decide where they want their art to go, so it will have the best effect. He don’t think we should put limits on art.
Cedar loves to think about what’s coming next. People working with more conceptual and abstract approaches to street art and graffiti seems like the most exciting thing to me in the movement and it’s what I think we’ll see more of in the future. As well as being about people pushing boundaries today, I was also lucky enough to speak to some pioneers from the past for the book, such as Rammellzee and the artist Daniel Buren who is still going strong today, but was putting up abstract works in the streets without permission as early as 1965.
Cedar says that aside from his own private utopia, He just want to do better and better projects. Not necessarily bigger, just better. Both with his own work and with the many great artists he is lucky enough to work with.
