Aside from your insightful comments, inspirational conversations, and your overall academic guidance, you have inspired me to always do my best, believe in myself, my work, and to follow my passions. Thank you for all your support and kindness, for being both my supervisor and becoming my friend. Also, my most sincere thanks to my second supervisor, André Jansson, for giving me new ideas and pushing me onto paths I would not have found by myself. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the participants. Your persistence, passions, ambitions, spunk and insubordination have inspired and helped me more than you ever could imagine. On a rainy day, I have always been able to read through a transcript and instantly feel better. Thank you! A huge thank you my colleagues who have read my text throughout the pro- cess. I am deeply thankful for the insightful readings and comments I received at my final seminar, in particular by my opponent, Gavan Titley, and the re- viewing committee, Patrick Vondereau and Kristina Riegert. You all helped me to want to go the extra mile. I also want to thank Kari Andén-Papadopoulos who was my reader at my first seminar, Alexa Robertson who helped me with revisions and moving ahead, and Karin Becker for reviewing the text as my midway seminar reader and who helped me greatly as my methods course in- structor. Also a big thanks to Lilie Chouliaraki who challenged and inspired me to push my aims and methodology further. Thank you also to Jacob Kimvall who, in several, ways helped me getting acquainted with the field. Another big thanks to Christian Christensen for his swift and constructive proofreading of these acknowledgements (aside from this particular sentence, which I added after his swift and constructive proofreading. I hope I did not mess it up.). There are many colleagues I want to mention since you all have helped me in different ways over different periods in time. But, no one mentioned, no one forgotten. Thanks to all of you! I do however want to give a special thank you to Ester Pollack for your support as deputy head of the department, and for taking care of me at my very first conference. Also a special thanks to John Sundholm, our head of the department, for keeping you door open and always iii being willing to answer all my questions about budgets, time lines, regulations, and so on. Thank you my wonderful Ph.D. colleagues! Without all this coffee I probably would have fallen asleep several years ago. Without all the wine, I suspect the years would have been far more boring. Thank you to my roomies, James and Mona. A special thanks to James for all the cardamom buns you have brought me when I needed them the most. Thank you Erika, Emma, Elitsa, Calle, Hel- ena, Martin, Kristina, Rebecca and Tom, for all the coffee and wine, and thank you Magnus, for making us all mind the quality of the coffee (cof- fee/cookie/wine emojis inserted). Also a big thanks to Torbjörn, Chafic, Jacob, Hlazo, Turid, Anette, and Katya who I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the years, even if only briefly. Speaking of coffee, I also want to thank the baristas at Espresso House in Fältöversten. I cannot even count the liters of latte made by especially Therese and Helga. Your awesome lattes has lit up many of my mornings and workdays over all. I am fortunate enough to sing in two quartets and direct a whole chorus of loving women who all have cheered for me over the years and provided me with unconditional support, understanding and just happy times in general. Thank you to very single one of you. A special thank you to Viveka, Kalle and Elin for your compassion, support and friendship. To my wonderful family, thank you for riding this out with me. Thank you to my mom and dad who have supported me in every thinkable way. My beautiful children, you have given me time, loving pats on my overheated head, and al- ways made me laugh. You have kept telling me I am awesome, that you can take care of me and each other, and that all will be OK. And you have always made me believe you. Embla, please always stay my funny friend. Your weird sense of humor always lights up my heart. Krut, I have no idea why you are the one taking care of me and not the other way around? Always stay your empa- thetic and caring self. Lo, my crazy little person. You once taught me, “If eve- ryone in the world died, there would only be Lego people”. Thank you for showing me the true meanings of thinking “out of the box” and how to imag- ine the world in different ways. Ville, for your openness, curiosity and patience, thank you. Last but certainly not least, Ketil, my partner, my rock, my love. You have un-tiredly read my text and helped me, academically yes, but first and foremost, emotionally, with your continuing support and love, even when I have gone all dramatic diva on life (which I do all the time). I cannot imagine any partner more generous and loving. You always inspire me to become a better person in every way and I love you with all my heart. iv v Contents Prologue ...................................................................................................................................... 11 Introduction ............................................................................................................................... 13 Examining Stockholm Graffiti and Street Art ........................................................................................... 17 Research Problem .................................................................................................................................... 17 Aim ............................................................................................................................................................ 19 Research Questions ................................................................................................................................. 20 The Field of Graffiti and Street Art ....................................................................................... 25 Painting and Writing as Urban Communication ....................................................................................... 25 The Collective Memory of Graffiti and Its Contemporary Mediatized Condition .............................. 27 “Graffiti is Art, Klotter is Klotter”: A Swedish Dilemma ............................................................................ 31 A History of Street Art .................................................................................................................................. 33 Graffiti and Street Art as Art ........................................................................................................................ 36 Graffiti and Street Art as Crime and Vandalism ....................................................................................... 42 The Dirty, the Threatening, and the War ................................................................................................... 44 Structure of the Dissertation ................................................................................................... 49 Aesthetic Cosmopolitanism, Mediatization, and Urban Interventions: A Theoretical Milieu for Graffiti and Street Art ............................................................................................ 51 The Mobilities and Mediatization of Graffiti and Street Art ................................................................... 52 The Challenges of Getting Along ................................................................................................................ 54 It Might Well Work Out: Solidarity and Hospitality ................................................................................

Wojnarowicz’s Arthur Rimbaud in New York series (1978-79) is his earliest complete body of work. In the series a friend wears the visage of the French symbolist poet. My discussion of the photographs involves how they convey Wojnarowicz’s notion of the city. In chapter one I discuss Rimbaud’s conception of the modern city and how Wojnarowicz evokes the figure of the flâneur in establishing a link with nineteenth century Paris. In the final chapters I address the issue of the control of the city and an individual’s right to the city. In chapter two I draw a connection between the renovations of Paris by Baron George Eugène Haussman and the gentrification Wojnarowicz witnessed of the Lower East side.

    Marketing Urban Art: a Case Analysis of the Exchange Project

    Marketing Urban Art: A Case Analysis of the Exchange Project Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Master of Science degree in Arts Administration Philip Asbury Candidate for Master’s in Arts Administration Drexel University June 2009 i Table of Contents Section Page Abstract i Problem Statement 1 Literature and Background 3 Definitions 7 Procedure 10 Limitations 10 Body-Marketing Urban Art: The Exchange Project 12 Figure1: List of Participating Artists 18 Case Study: The Exchange Project and Tour 19 Summary 29 Conclusion 33 Bibliography 36 ii Abstract The Exchange is an interactive project that promotes a sharing of stylistic influences amongst a select group of urban artists. The project is web-based but it also mounted a four city tour in 2007. As scholarly research is very limited in the genre, this study was an attempt to gather the few existing sources, general information, and first hand knowledge of the author, a participant in the Exchange. The result is a look at the best practices in marketing urban art. The financial details of the Exchange were unable to be included. The author recommends that urban artists partner with organizations that share a similar mission and to focus on viral marketing. i Problem Statement Urban art is a new genre of art that is still in its developing stages. Though the market for urban art is growing rapidly, how to market urban art work has largely gone unstudied and undocumented. This study will document the Exchange, a collaborative visual art project involving 13 international “urban artists”. In this process, special attention will be focused on the marketing tools and strategies employed by the Exchange as well as their effectiveness.
