Street Art response

This article mentions artistic credit which I find very interesting. He states that since street art is not curated in a museum, it does not get the same credibility and protection as it would if it were in such an establishment. So then this plays on the idea of status and ability to become "well-known". Since this is hard to do, many street art is covered up and thrown away because it is not protected by things like museums and people who follow the artists. But people like Banksy do the opposite by getting a large following of people to follow his street art, to the point of it getting into an actual museum. Where, he is protected. I find this interesting because historically, street art is a "rebellious" act to show that someone is going against something they do not like or follow. But now, mainly in Philadelphia, people have turned street art into a new art form. The murals in Philly are unbelievable and each Artists has their own style and forum. I just think that it is amazing that people have found a way to make street art relevant again. Yes, many people are still against this rebellion, but I just think people are trying to express themselves and have fun
