About Wooster Collective founded in 2001 by Marc and Sara Schiller, celebrates ephemeral art placed on streets in cities around the world. The collective’s mission is to discover and document authentic art experiences via salons, lectures, exhibitions and online at www.woostercollective.com. In 2006, they organized 11 Spring Street, a monumental street art exhibition which took place in an abandoned building in downtown New York, and was chosen by The New York Times as one of the top art exhibitions of the year. In 2010, they collaborated with Carlo McCormick on Trespass: A History of Uncommissioned Urban Art, published by Taschen. They have been featured in The New York Times, Time Magazine, Good Magazine and more. As a global voice for street art, the Schillers have spoken at the Tate Modern, Design Indaba and The New Museum.
