Nuart Journal – #1 Space is the Place
– – –

“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.”

Current critical and academic debates on graffiti can occasionally be found in magazines and more frequently in books from the scene, usually framed by traditional content of these kind of publications: a whole lot of photos. For example with the German “Zugriff” magazine the shift from focusing on photographic content to high-quality scientific articles was successfully made first in 2013.

Just like the mentioned forerunner, the new Nuart Journal from Norway does not exclusively pay attention to graffiti, but does also include urban art, street art and other similar art forms as its main topic. On 112 pages the 2018 Journal functions as a peer-reviewed forum to publish texts, essays, theories, etc. from international authors often with an academic background. The first issue is separated into three main parts:

I. Original Articles
• Christel Pedersen: Subversive weeds: Bio-activist strategies in urban interventions

• Susan Hansen: Heritage protection for street art? The case of Banksy’s Spybooth
