Through his work as an art historian and his interest in street photography Julian Stallabrass has come to question who it is that controls the art we see on our streets. In this talk he asks for what purpose street art is made, who it is made by and who it is made for.
Julian Stallabrass is a writer, photographer, curator and lecturer. He is Professor in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art and is the author of ‘Art Incorporated’ (Oxford University Press, 2004). He is the editor of ‘Documentary’ in the MIT/ Whitechapel Documents of Contemporary Art series; and ‘Memory of Fire: Images of War and the War of Images’ (Photoworks Brighton, 2013).
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
