Urban Art and artistic interventions in public space are innovative ways to modify expression consisting of one or more of the properties of a Are ... to common usage, which happens to be an artistic space for the simple fact that an artist chooses to develop on his activity. Its status as a work of art is not evident in a material sense, since most of the time are ephemeral interventions. The richness of this art lies in the conceptual and intangible, in the content.
can not do street art without full awareness of the impact of actions taken, together concepts of art, power and respect society involve for others, for it to make art in public space we have to take into account that not everyone will agree with what we do, the controversy that often accompanies artistic interventions is seen by artists as part of the artistic result is sought as a provocation, and the reactions that arise or reflection on the limits of art itself and its relationship to social institutions, so an artist has to bear the consequences of what he does, that's part of the artistic . Very
usually there is consensus about the artistic status of an intervention, especially when done spontaneously or not subject to official permits or regulations, many artistic activities such as graffiti or street art can be considered vandalism, especially when not respected the spaces that are considered cultural heritage. Interventions such action
art usually involve physical alteration of part of public space by an artist, such practices as everything that can be considered art always make sense because behind there is always a work containing linked to an intense intellectual activity, conflict with what is happening in the city of Arequipa is that not everything is being done on the streets is the result of a conscious act and sublime. The problem is in schools and especially in art schools, where they are taught almost nothing about contemporary art and urban, not taught anything about respect for the cultural heritage and even less about the basics of avant-garde artistic expression by So many young people who have not had a good education are embarrassed when they have contact with new forms of expression. It would be an excess
artists who are working in the public space will be punished with imprisonment, but I think they should make it clear that you can make art on the street without having to ruin our heritage, there are thousands of ways of doing street art and it is only necessary to use your imagination and intelligence.
Perhaps it is time to question the local artists who indiscriminately overwhelm us with works that do nothing but visually pollute the city, not everything that is now called street art is positive or constructive to a community that still does not understand the concepts of minimum contemporary art with freedom and responsibility.
