In the last ten years, street art has become a very important factor in the
international art scene. It has become a precious object to buy and preserve, and yet
there is considerable confusion about the generic properties and definition of street
art in academic research. As a rightful part of popular culture and urban culture,
street art is not pure and independent. It intertwines with different art forms and
urban subcultures and nurtures spin-off production. Therefore it is quite hard to
trace its borders. Street art is not graffiti. They are different visual expressions and
even though they might share the same space, artists and techniques, they still
produce visually and conceptually different art works. This confusion produces
many layers of problematic issues which put the street artists both on the police
wanted lists and in the most important galleries and museums such as the Tate
Modern in London, Grand Palais in Paris and MOCA in Los Angeles to name the
few. In addition, in some official documents and in auction houses graffiti and
street art are referred to as urban art, a term not used or understood by the members
of the subculture.
It is not clear what graffiti, street art and urban art are and how they are
positioned within the contemporary culture. Therefore it is necessary to deal with
the generic terms first and only after this issue has been solved, one can look at all
these terms from different perspectives. is paper aims at resolving these problems
without offering new definitions but by explaining the terms used both in
subcultures and in academic research.
