What is the relationship between street art and the law? In A
Philosophy Guide to Street Art and the Law, Andrea Baldini argues
that street art has a constitutive relationship with the law. A
crucial aspect of the identity of this urban art kind depends on
its capacity to turn upside down dominant uses of public spaces.
Street artists subvert those laws and social norms that regulate
the city. Baldini shows that street art has not only transformed
public spaces and their functions into artistic material, but has
also turned its rebellious attitude toward the law into a creative
resource. He aims at elucidating and arguing for this claim, while
drawing important implications at the level of street art's
metaphysics, value, and relationship with rights of intellectual
property, in particular copyright and moral rights. At the other
end of the spectrum of contractual art, street art is outlaw art.
