Edited by Alex Partola and Nikita K. Scriabin, a famous Moscow artist, Wall Elements main purpose is to talk about how graffiti artists interact with galleries and museum, integrating skills acquired on the street into a rigorous academic space, looking at this topic through the work of 25 contemporary graffiti artists from all over Russia. 

Wall Elements is Alex Partola's second project about graffiti culture after Ghosts, Russia’s first book-manifesto about Russian train bombers, a book that guides us into a world on the verge of underground art, vandalism and the romance of the railways.

Wall Elements, like Ghosts, does what no one has done before for Russian graffiti: it captures the meanings that the street art of our time gives rise to.
