Post modern sampling of culture

Sub cultural movements
uses a mix of photography and up to date documentary - provides a history of skateboarding
skate culture from the 70's - evolution of skateboarding from hobbie to competitive- Financed by vans
Original to contemporary
Style - clothing was simply selected for practical use, male and female both could have had long hair?
This looks at urban skateboarding as a political statement - skateboarding is a way
architecture and city planning
skateboarding is a way of braking this
hand rail is used in a different way
Skate culture is a substitute family
there is a kind of story that creates a group of heros that fight injustice - political element
navigate famous building - making architecture a challenge
Claiming ownership over a specific object - claiming then the public area back to the individual
its not about style its about sub cultural activity
Separating your identity from your visual appearance
Female graffiti writers are judged on their physicality - overly sexualised character so exaggerated it is almost a assertion of femininity
Politically motivated, graffiti projects with areas in need of regeneration
Run down areas

Grunge scene - distortion of the
without the polotics
Distroted further when it reached britain the spice girls
Languge came up against culture
experience of subculture is to be
The dress style was then turned into produced objects the DIY style became mass produced
Punks did this a rebellious statement, the subculture was consumed quickly by the cultural world.
The hoddie becomes the symbol that is demonised - garment is stereo typed
Teddy boy subculture
1950's if girls where out on the street if girls where out on the street they would get into trouble
Started with the mod culture and then deviates from this, interesting documentary
