Street art in public and private collections. Street Art artist´s interventions in the art collection of the Universitat Politècnica de València
Abstract
Urban art has been the subject of scholarly study, commercial interest and public controversy for decades. Institutions, social initiatives and individuals have promoted their production in varied environments, also prompting the desire for collection by formal institutions. In this text we analyze a specific case, that of the work of urban artists carried out at the Polytechnic University of Valencia under such initiatives as the annual Poliniza festival, currently Poliniza-Dos, which has been held since 2006; Tuenti Urban Art; and the project Interactive Murals: Women of Science. The assimilation of some of these works into the internal landscape of the campus has led to its inclusion in the catalog of the art collection of the university, an innovation that is not exempt from controversy.
