Tate has commissioned Blu from Bologna, Italy; the artist collective Faile from New York, USA; JR from Paris, France; Nunca and Os Gemeos, both from Sao Paulo, Brazil and Sixeart from Barcelona, Spain to bring their work to Bankside from 23 May to 25 August.
The Street Art commission opens at the same time as Tate Modern's four-day festival of art and performance, UBS Openings: The Long Weekend over the late May Bank Holiday weekend and fits with the theme for this year's event – States of Flux.
