A lively discussion on the concept of street art, held at Visual Arts Nova Scotia and hosted by NSCAD student Jose Andres Mora. Panelists include Daniel Pink, associate at Wickwire Holm and founder of Artists Legal Information Society, Kim Morgan, Assistant Professor of Sculpture at NSCAD and Jei Jei Steeves, a local street artist.
Artists around the world are faced with the challenge of how and where to express themselves. In this discussion, panelists explored the concept of street art and the ethics behind placing artwork in the public sphere without permission. Whose rights does this violate? How does the public react? Other topics that were addressed during the conversation included the emergence of the internet and its effects on street art projects, and the concept of public in its entirety and whether or not that can be defined.
