Artista na rua e artista de rua: enfrentamento e resistência

Abstract

The presented dissertation reflects upon artistc proposals wich confronted the artist with his practice, making him think about it over two different perspectives: the practice of the "street artist" and the "artist IN the street". It's about thinking the artistic practice related to the work "Portraits $1" (Retratos $1), made in the public context of the city streets, making portrait-drawings with a sfereographic pen on paper and duplicated-portrait with carbon paper on paper.The street is where the portrait-drawing takes place and is exchanged for R$1,00 (UM Real) while the duplicated-portrait created with the carbon paper is archived by the artist. This artistic project brings up "Key" questions to think about art today: where is the artists place, the production of art and the public? The research focuses on the artistic production wich takes place with the contact of the public, when acting like a street artist, the work blurs the value codes and legitimation towards what is produced, to both art context and street context.
