Ethics and Street Art- 1, by jkaya on Aug 28, 2008 23:58:04 GMT 1, I'm doing research on ethical good and bad practices for street art... What are people's opinions on the placement of Perspex sheets over certain artists' works...?
1) if the eventual decay is an integral part of the artist's message, is such protection/preservation ethical? Who should decide?
2) What message is being delivered when one artistโs work is protected, but not the work of others along side it?

Ethics and Street Art- 1, by guest2 on Aug 31, 2008 23:42:15 GMT 1, apart from some of banksys, has any other artists work been 'perspexed'. Personally i think no graffiti should be protected and should be allowed to grow old with the elements. There should be no elitism imo.

Ethics and Street Art- 1, by mcster on Sept 1, 2008 17:58:26 GMT 1, If you'd have asked the question a year ago I'd have said protect the Banksy pieces - I even started a thread on it. I've changed my view since then and think it's good that the street pieces have a lifespan. If the artists are good enough, their work will be preserved in people's homes and museums and the ever changing street pieces keep the art evolving.
To answer your second point it depends on who is doing the protecting. If the piece is on private property, the owner of the property has as much right to protect it as they do to paint over it. If it's a local council doing the protecting it's a different thing. They can't send some people to jail (DPM Crew just got two years) and preserve the work of others. I'm not comparing the work of Banksy (etc) to that of people that just throw tags up, but we can't have one law for one and another for someone else because we find the work of one artistic and the other not.
Hope that helps.

Ethics and Street Art- 1, by jkaya on Sept 1, 2008 22:56:34 GMT 1, Thats a great point about the council. Also, the more people start supporting street art in their communities, the more likely that could happen (when the work is executed on public property).
An interesting article about that here: www.redpepper.org.uk/Big-art-and-Perspex-panels
