Pay your Museum! Street Art and Cultural (re)Mediation in Urban Space

language: french

abstract: In this paper, we will approach the process of street art musealization with regard to its “mise en tension” and the constant reappropriation of urban discourses by public space users. Different statuses of public space will thus be highlighted, from a space of implementation to an object remediated by Street Art. The latter will be seen as much as an art in the street as an art of the street linked to other languages (architecture, urbanism, signalization, etc.). We will then try to demonstrate that Street Art involves an urban dialogism and values that require an ecological approach to semiotic practices.
