Israeli duo takes street art to museums

Nitzan Mintz and Dede are walking a fine line, on many fronts. These include their private lives as a couple and their artistic and professional collaboration; street art and museum exhibitions; Nitzan’s verbal creation and Dede’s visual art; and commercial gallery sales and free street displays, some of which have been erased or even stolen.

Mintz started writing poetry during her mandatory military service, where she penned dozens of poems inspired by the frustration, pressure and depression she experienced. She graduated from the Department of Fine Arts and the Department of Creative Writing at Minshar School of Art, Tel Aviv, and from the Helicon Poetry School. During her studies, she started writing her poems on the walls in Tel Aviv, signing them with her own name.
