£20.00

CAP Crew (Bleze,Most,Masker,Dirty,Dize,Teve) was founded in prague in 2005.
The light, playful and childish style was always characteristic of the creations of the groups individuals.

Originally associated with the beginning of New York graffiti, CAP gradually begun to form sharp opinions where they came together against the rest of Prague's Graffiti community. Which in that time was experiencing a crisis and therefore they divided the graffiti scene into two camps, supporters and opponents. The creations of CAP are still fun, yet they are more critical regarding tradition and dogmatic procedures, which is the source for discussions and disagreements. Perceptions of style and originality, the hierarchy between artists, as well as the idealized content and new new visualizations in graffiti are the themes that CAP has dealt with over it's two year functioning period.

In the book CAP - crew against the people, 250 coloured pages offer a selection of the groups pieces which was one of the first to begin creating their graffiti in the location of ''Brown fields''. Due to this fact, the majority of photographs com from this location. The book further contains photographs of legal surfaces of a critical character, responding to the actual situation of Prague's graffiti scene. Photographs from travels to foreign countries (Russia, Ukraine, Spain...), pieces from the representatives of the crew from its earlier years of functioning and others. Along with photographs text is included which stems from the interviews of the crew. The text describes the whole situation around the formation and the foundation of the the group. its development, Sources of inspiration, and reasons from conflicts with the rest of the graffiti scene and the captions to individual pieces of work.
