SPRINKLES OF FUNNY

Living in a city can create for many joyous moments. They tend to show up when you least expect them and the great thing is that they often come when you need it the most.

Street art refers to a form of artistic expression found in public spaces and thus openly accessible to everyone. The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, stencil graffiti, sticker art, tape art, street poster art, video projection, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations. Typically, the term street art or the more specific post-graffiti is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art.

Artists have challenged art by situating it in non-art contexts. ‘Street’ artists do not aspire to change the definition of an artwork, but rather to question the existing environment with its own language. They attempt to have their work communicate with everyday people about socially relevant themes in ways that are informed by aesthetic values without being imprisoned by them.

The motivations and objectives that drive street artists are as varied as the artists themselves. There is a strong current of activism and subversion in urban art. Street art can be a powerful platform for reaching the public, and frequent themes include ad-busting, subverting and other culture jamming, the abolishment of private property and reclaiming the streets. Other street artists simply see urban space as an untapped format for personal artwork, while others may appreciate the challenges and risks that are associated with installing illicit artwork in public places. However the universal theme in most, if not all street art, is that adapting visual artwork into a format which utilizes public space, allows artists who may otherwise feel disenfranchised, to reach a much broader audience than traditional artwork and galleries normally allow.

Street artists almost always remain anonymous or are known only to a small circle of people. Street art usually entails illicit action (for example damage to property, defacement and unauthorized placards). The artists, however, do not see anything unlawful in what they are doing.

DRESDEN

l

"The Elector and ruler of Saxony Frederick Augustus I became King August the Strong of Poland in personal union. He gathered many of the best musicians, architects and painters from all over Europe to Dresden. His reign marked the beginning of Dresden's emergence as a leading European city for technology and art."

"Dresden in the 20th century was a leading European center of art, classical music, culture and science until its complete destruction on February 13, 1945. Being the capital of the German state of Saxony, Dresden had not only garrisons but a whole military borough, the Albertstadt. This military complex, named after Saxon 

 King Albert, was never targeted in the bombing of Dresden."

"During the final months of World War II Dresden became a safe haven to some 600,000 refugees, including women, children, and wounded soldiers with a total population of 1.2 million. Dresden was attacked seven times between 1944 and 1945, and was completely occupied by the Red Army after German capitulation."

"Dresden is one of the greenest cities in Europe, with 63% of the city being green areas and forests."
