Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter presents the notion of spatial justice as a way of considering the relationship between law and street art in a manner beyond the legal/illegal dichotomy. Through a series of empirical examples, it is demonstrated how street art literally takes a place already taken and imposes itself in an already appropriated urban public space. Street art thus ´redefines the space in contestation to law. However, street art is ephemeral and its taking of space is not permanent. Street art points to an alternative spatial definition, one of spatial justice, before – and, indeed, while – withdrawing from the space it occupies. Street art creates a rupture in the lawscape which makes explicit the presence and claims of law, thereby also making the need for law’s other – justice – pronounced. The question of relationality between law and street art which we bring forth in the present article plays itself out as a production of space and spatial justice in an exchange of place-taking, withdrawal and pronunciation, law and street art. Spatial justice, as we perceive it here, is thus a way of thinking about law and street art not simply as polar opposites, but rather as co-dependent and bound together in an ongoing process of oscillation, mutual reinforcement and creativity.

The Street Art World
- 2014
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In recent years, street art has become embedded in popular culture and received growing attention from the art market and art institutions. Work by street artists has entered galleries, auction houses and museums, and some artists have been given the opportunity to create large-scale sanctioned public art projects. Simultaneously, widespread photographic documentation of street artworks and the circulation of images online have provided artists with a potentially global audience. The Street Art World investigates street art as a relatively newly established field within contemporary art. With the American sociologist Howard S. Becker’s notion of “art worlds” as a central point of departure, the book seeks to characterise street art by studying and participating in the everyday interaction among the artists, gallerists, collectors, critics, curators, bloggers and street art enthusiasts that make up the social environment (the street art world) in which the term street art is continuously given its meaning. Major themes addressed in the book include: (1) The social construction of the meaning of the term street art and the resulting difficulties in formally defining what street art is. (2) The often contradictory attitudes within the street art world towards art history and the institutions of art. (3) The relationship between street art, the art market and the institutional art world. (4) The relationship between street art and public art. (5) Street art’s potential to affect the viewer’s perception of public space, and the possible challenges the increasing digital mediation of street art may pose to bringing this potential to fruition. While the book presents central characteristics of the street art movement, it also acknowledges that it is not feasible to pin down the nature of street art once and for all, since street art is a product of complex social processes.

The Unbound Brain : A Thematic Introduction
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Culture Unbound. - : Linköping University Electronic Press. - 2000-1525. ; 10:1, s. 4-10
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The brain has long been an object of curiosity and fascination. Partly as a result of technological advances, issues related to the brain have become ubiquitous points of discussion in our culture. Along with neurological disease and neuroscience, it is frequently featured in Hollywood block buster movies, self-help books, popular science documentaries and fictional TV-series. Once cast as grey and stable matter, the brain is now commonly represented as a glowing and colourful entity through the use of new imaging technologies. Further, it is often likened to a complex and adaptable machine that can be enhanced continuously through dedication and deliberate effort. In this special issue of Culture Unbound, scholars from a number of disciplines within the humanities and social sciences address the pervasiveness and influence of neuroscience and representations of the brain in everyday contexts. A common thread in the articles is the idea that knowledge and narratives about, and visualisations of, the brain change practices and processes in daily life. In addition, the articles, in different ways, explore the brain as something that is perceived and portrayed as constantly transforming; an unbound brain.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The chapter investigates how one specific collaboration between a fashion conglomerate (Louis Vuitton) and a contemporary artist (Takashi Murakami) exemplifies a wider phenomenon of the ways in which brands curate artists to fit their own needs. Central to the chapter is the discussion about why and to what ends curation of art has become important for fashion brands in their branding efforts.

Living with street art
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This keynote talk discussed how street art may influence our perception and use of the urban environment. With a point of departure in the book "The Street Art World" (2014), it argued that the open, unsanctioned and ephemeral nature of street art plays an important role in potentially changing how we relate to our surroundings. The talk also considered how sanctioned, often large-scale, works can contribute to an increasing critical awareness of everyday environs and their use. Further, the talk included personal reflections on the experience of living with street art as a research topic for more than a decade.
