Street Art In Situ

« In order to understand street art in situ, one must consider all the various elements that make up the work: not just the medium, surface, subject and setting, but also how the piece interacts with its environment (the media, architectural forms and signage that envelop it, for example, as well as local history or contemporary issues). The context is volatile and can be transformed repeatedly either through the artwork´s removal or through further additions to the space by other artists. As it is altered through additions, erasures and any other signs of performance, the site and the piece live and thus play a part in street art culture. »
