Out for Fame shows how graffiti's evolution can be traced from subways and walls in New York City to walls and freight trains in Canada. It has passed through many galleries throughout the world, has been the subject of several movies, used by corporations for advertising, and is currently best documented in magazines and on websites. The best place to see these works however are not in photos, in museums or on the web but in its original environment on the street where it has managed to survive over the past 30 years.
