PUBLIC SPACE - WHO’S IT FOR?
June 27th, 2008Tate Modern has released further details about its Street Art Now events. The talks and viewings include discussions on who owns the public space where artists create their work, and additional talks focus on collecting street art and the ongoing debate between street art being nothing more than glorified vandalism or a legitimate cultural movement.
The first talk entitled ‘Public Space - Who’s it for?’ discusses the ownership of public space and what happens when artists take it into their own hands to develop it? Brad Downey and Mustafa Hulusi are two artists who have subverted the use of these spaces and explain why.
Sponsored by Nissan QASHQAI ‘Who’s it for?’ takes place at Tate Modern on Friday 11th July 2008 at 18.30-19.30. Simply a must-attend event for anyone interested in street art.
