Graffiti--or street art --in public spaces has become part of our visual culture hasn't it--even though cultural conservatives rant and rage about it as a form of vandalism of private property. The latter refuse to acknowledge post-Graffiti, which distinguishes contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti or vandalism. Most street artists in Adelaide see urban space as an untapped format for personal artwork.
