The journey of Street Art: Urban Stories, the podcast produced by Wunderkammern exploring the many facets of contemporary urban art, continues.
After delving into the relationship between public art and politics in the second episode, the third installment focuses on the entrance of street art into institutional contexts such as galleries and museums.
In this episode, Giuseppe Pizzuto talks with two key figures in the Italian art scene: Fanny Borel, assistant curator at the MAXXI in Rome, and Silvano Manganaro, university professor and art critic.
The conversation revolves around crucial questions: how is street art perceived within cultural institutions? What are the challenges and opportunities in exhibiting works originally created for public space within a museum setting?
Fanny Borel shares her experience of bringing street art into MAXXI, highlighting the importance of preserving the authenticity and social impact of these works even when displayed in exhibition spaces.
Silvano Manganaro, for his part, reflects on the dynamics of legitimation and the potential tensions between the rebellious spirit of street art and institutional frameworks.
The episode offers an in-depth look at how street art is redefining the boundaries of contemporary art, challenging conventions, and opening new avenues for interaction between artists, audiences, and institutions.
Street Art: Urban Stories is available on Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, Spreaker, and Deezer. Every Friday, a new episode to continue exploring the world of urban art through the voices of its protagonists.
