History
of Wall Art
Berlin Wall
Art
The Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961 to separate West Berlin and East Berlin during
the Cold War.
All the differences between the countries made it a perfect place for people to
express their opinions, especially on their preferences and dislikes. In the
1980s, the wall was reconstructed and made 14 feet tall. Graffiti on the wall became popular for artists
from all over the world and a place where tourists would go and admire the
artwork. The West Berlin side of the wall had artwork completely covering the
wall, while the East Berlin side was kept blank because people were not
permitted to get close enough to the east side of the wall to paint anything.
The Berlin Wall was the largest canvas in
the world. Much of the artwork was not claimed by artists and remains
anonymous. Because the wall was open to everyone, there were no restrictions on
what artists could put on the wall. Over the past 30 years since the collection
of artwork was started, much of the controversial artwork has been removed from
the wall.
Street Wall Art
Street
art is visual art created in public locations, usually
unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues.
The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and
continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations. Stencil graffiti, wheat pasted
poster art or sticker art,
and street installation or sculpture are common forms of modern street art. Video projection, yarn bombing and Lock On sculpture
became popularized at the turn of the 21st century.
The
terms "urban art",
"guerrilla art", "post-graffiti"
and "neo-graffiti" are also sometimes used when referring to artwork
created in these contexts.[ Traditional spray-painted graffiti
artwork itself is often included in this category, excluding territorial
graffiti or pure vandalism.
Street art is often motivated
by a preference on the part of the artist to communicate directly with the
public at large, free from perceived confines of the formal art world. Street artists sometimes present
socially relevant content infused with esthatic value, to attract attention to
a cause or as a form of "art provocation
Street
artists often travel between countries to spread their designs. Some artists
have gained cult-followings, media and art world attention, and have gone on to
work commercially in the styles which made their work known on the streets.
guerilla
art, and graffiti
Graffiti is characteristically made up of written words that are
meant to represent a group or community in a covert way and in plain sight. The
tell tale sign of street art is that it usually includes images, illustrations,
or symbols that are meant to convey a message. While both works are meant
to represent or tell a message to viewers, one difference between the two comes
in the specific viewers that it is meant for. As stated earlier, graffiti
displays a covert message in plain site by using terminology or messaging that
is not made to be recognizable or understandable to viewers who are outside of
the community or group for which it represents. One trait of street art
that has helped to bring it to positive light in the public eye is that the
messages shown in these public spaces are usually made to be understandable to
all.
While both of these types
of art have many differences, there are more similarities than their origins.
Both graffiti and street art are works of art that are created with the same
intent. Most artists, whether they are working anonymously, creating an intentionally
incomprehensible message, or fighting for some greater cause are working with
the same ambitions for popularity, recognition, and the public display or
outpouring of their personal thoughts, feelings, and/or passions.
The term street art is described in many different ways, one of
which is the term "guerrilla art." Both terms describe these public
works that are placed with meaning and intent. They can be done anonymously for
works that are created to confront more taboo public issues that will result in
backlash, or under the name of a well-known artist. In any case and
terminology, these works of art are created as a primary way to express the
artists thoughts on many topics and more commonly, public issues.
One defining trait or feature of street art is that it is
created on or in a public area without or against the permission of the owner. This
is a trait which falls in line with that of graffiti. A main distinction
between the two comes in the second trait of street art or guerrilla art, where
it is made to represent and display a purposefully uncompliant act that is
meant to challenge its surrounding environment. This challenge can be granular,
focusing on issues within the community or broadly sweeping, addressing global
issues on a public stage.
This is how the term "guerilla art" was associated
with this type of work and behavior. The word ties back to guerilla warfare in
history where attacks are made wildly, without control, and with no rules of
engagement. This type of warfare was dramatically different than the previously
formal and traditional fighting that went on in wars normally. When used in the
context of street art, the term guerilla art is meant to give nod to the
artist's uncontrolled, unexpected, and often unnamed attack on societal
structure or norms.
