A night of taggin' on walls, faggin' on ciggies and slappin' on stencils right? Oh no pal, you got the wrong side of the tracks. At Boxcopy's latest group exhibition, A Street Art Exhibition there won't be graff, stencils or stickers - but they remain adamant that it's Street Art, although, after this show you may need to reconsider what Street Art actually is.
The exhibition sees local artists Chris Bennie and Shaun O'Connor, Swiss collective Körner Union and Melbourne artist Melanie Upton engage with our urban architecture - footpaths, rubbish, roads and highways become more than places we walk and drive along.
Instead, they are viewed as complex social sites, this show renovates the term 'Street Art' as the words art and street are evaluated in a manner that separates them from the popular vernacular of the phrase. It'll bring a whole new meaning to being street-smart.
