STREET ART
Byron Bay has incredibly diverse street art which is displayed around the town and Industrial Estate. Street art began as Graffiti and vandalism but has now transitioned to be modern day guerrilla art. Smart vandalism is used sometimes as a way to raise awareness of social and political issues. Others simply see urban space as an untapped format for personal artwork, whereas others may appreciate the risks that are associated with installing illicit artwork in public places. A common motive is that creating art in a format which utilises public space and allows artists who may otherwise feel disenfranchised to reach a much broader audience than other styles or galleries would allow.
Guerrilla art differs from other art forms in the fact that it has no external boundary between the image and the environment. Street art is environmental, the surface to which it is applied to being as fundamental to the piece's meaning as that which is applied. Without the dynamics of modern life, guerrilla art is reduced to ‘art for arts sake’ and would accordingly be defined by what it is as opposed to what it does.
