Lou Auguste and Alyssa Natches are street art lovers, chroniclers and—to use words sullied by pedants, esoterics, fops and investors for more than a century—also critics and curators. (Sorry!) “Open Air” is a half-hour documentary they put together last year on evolving street art and artists in New York and LA, but the film references a global movement. Today’s “urban landscapists” are everywhere and they do it all: tagging, stenciling, painting, pasting, postering. Street art has become the most enormous and diverse of today’s pop arts. It’s also deeply political, even when it’s not. For example, it ain’t pixelated in its raw form and yet it’s free. How long can these superhero artists manage that spectacular feet? It’s also critical, illegal, public and not advertising! In other words, it’s a miracle of the post-modern age.

Auguste and Natches submitted “Open Air” to the 2007 LA Freewaves festival, which is how we found it. Follow the link to the artists listed under the letter “L” for “Lou Auguste” and click. Then stop typing, sit down, open a drankety beverage and enjoy.
