Ruas e galerias

uma discussão sobre espaço, arte pública e arte urbana

Abstract

The article presents the relationships and distances between urban geosymbols, as well as graffitite and xarpi, with urban art and public art. The research is divided into two parts, being in the first related to the art of the streets and galleries, where we question the spatiality of what is considered art and what is not. In the second part, we approach the graffiti landscape as the fruit of non-hegemonic culture and the influence that central spaces or visibility have on the production of certain urban landscapes. We also addressed the aesthetic function that graffiti is currently performing in the urban issue and how we can think of the city from them. Through bibliographic survey, fieldwork and analysis of photographs, we have as points the intrinsic relationship between space, landscape and symbolic representation. Finally, we highlight the role that urban art and public art have in the current urban context.
