I had this discussion with some friends many times, I feel many of the works done today, are simply "conventional" art, but displayed on the street as a mural or similar. Most are portraits of girls, maybe the artists' girlfriend or whatever, and imo have no connection with the urbanism, well, you can say people are part of the urban environment, but that's not really the issue.

Many cats will come with their projectors and line trace everything beforehand. I don't know, I feel like nowadays if Picasso displayed his pieces in an alley, it would be called street art. For me, street art is about communicating with and through urban channels and languages, for an example those artists that make sculptures with trash amd stuff like that, graffiti, tagging, it's about the urban culture. And when I see more conventional art like those portraits, that honestly, carry no meaning or message/critique, just a beautiful face and a traditional technique, I call it Art on the Street.

Do y'all think there is a difference or not?

ASP 02 S9 TransArtSpots is a non-profit and 100% community-driven project. We run it because we love to discover art and share it with others. The app does not contain any ads and we do not get money from this project at all. That's why we ask for your help! 

Wanna help spread the word about the App?

It would be great if you can tell your friends about ArtSpots, or if you run a website or blog, share the news and post a page. If you are active on social media, please also spread the word among your friends - art needs a space without commerce and it should be us, who count, not money and some shareholders. Thank you!

If you need pictures and stuff, here is the download to a media package, containing screens of the app, the image teaser and a short description you can freely use.

See you in ArtSpots.
