I nearly got into a fight with a friend the other day (quite unexpected) over a piece of graffiti i wanted to know his opinion about. What i got to hear was: “I don’t approve of vandalism.” We got into a somewhat fight discussing the definition, meaning, intention and reason of art in general and artists in specific. It was said, that real art moves you, delivers a message, a feeling. I won’t fight people who disagree with me that street art does exactly that for the sole reason that i was standing in the State Museum of Art in Copenhagen in front of that Rembrandt a few weeks back. I looked at it and it might as well have been an empty frame (that might actually have touched me more, emotionally). There was paint, there was canvas, there was a face with a blank expression, and that’s it. No aura, no message, no meaning, just that blank face of some girl. So if Rembrandt is an artist, and supposedly a great one as well, and also, if Josef Beuys can pass as an artist (i don’t have a problem with hist work, just with the person itself, except for that single useful thing he ever said), then street art (as the name says) and graffiti is definitely art as well. Define it however you want, or don’t even define it at all. I don’t care, as long as you don’t call a several hours piece of hard work and nasty fumes Vandalism.
