What is streetart? Is it the same as graffiti? What street art and graffiti have in common is the fact that both are art forms in public places. It all started with graffiti as an illegal way of rejection. Later on, when it got more accepted and the pure rejection changed into provocation, when artists got permission to make art in public spaces, then we talk about street art. It is deeper, more meaningful, it has a message, it can be political, it is done with the intention to provoke the viewer. Nowadays street art can be done as a commission, or like here in Ingolstadt as a competition. As you can see, the work is fantastic!

I’m a big fan of street art and I think it should stay where the artist intended it to be: right there, on the street (and not inside a gallery or museum)!
