“Nuart Journal is a forum for critical commentary on urban art, defined as broadly as possible to include all aspects of both independently sanctioned and unsanctioned art in public space that does not fall under the general rubric of traditional public art practice. Nuart Journal includes traditional peer-reviewed academic papers as well as more experimental modes of research. It is a site for scholars, artists, curators and independent researchers to publish articles, conversations, reviews, projects and opinion pieces on street art and related topics.”
As the title of LOCKDOWN indicates the fifth issue of Nuart Journal, which was published in May 2021, was created during the Covid-19 pandemic. As in all other aspect of life the virus had also influence on the art which is produced in the streets and as a result it is a topic in Nuart Journal. But as always the No.5 is a forum to many aspects of urban art so you can also find articles on Banksy’s ‘flower thrower’ trademark lawsuit, DIY banners in Berlin and the ‘chapeteo’ scene of Ecuador, which remind of the ‘discovery’ of Brazilian Pixação writings in the 2000s.
The 144 paged journal is divided into three main chapters: Original Articles, Visual/Experimental and Interviews/Books/Reviews. Due to the wide range of featured topics and a global focus the scientific reader once again deserves a place on in your bookshelf.
