The Weird and the Urban. The aesthetic experience of ruins in Italian street art
The history of Italian street art appears to be ingrained in interstitial architectures such as empty lots or abandoned and unfinished buildings, ruins in which since the late 1990s a new generation of outsider artists coming from graffiti writing have been developing new unsanctioned forms of mural...

L’histoire du street art italien semble être ancrée dans les architectures interstitielles telles que les terrains vagues ou les bâtiments abandonnés et inachevés, des ruines où depuis la fin des années 1990, une nouvelle génération d’artistes marginaux issus du graffiti writing a développé de nouvelles formes de muralisme non autorisé, basées sur des représentations et des imaginaires science-fictionnels, fantastiques et horrifiques. Cet article vise donc à revisiter l’histoire et l’esthétique du graffiti et du street art italiens à travers le prisme du concept de weird formulé par le philosophe britannique Mark Fisher, en interrogeant l’interaction esthétique, socio-anthropologique et critique entre les œuvres de street art et les ruines : quel rôle les ruines ont-elles joué dans le développement du graffiti et du street art en Italie ? Et comment, en retour, le graffiti et le street art ont-ils transformé l’expérience esthétique des ruines ? |

The history of Italian street art appears to be ingrained in interstitial architectures such as empty lots or abandoned and unfinished buildings, ruins in which since the late 1990s a new generation of outsider artists coming from graffiti writing have been developing new unsanctioned forms of muralism, based on science-fictional, fantasy, and horrific representations and imageries. This article aims therefore to revisit the history and aesthetics of Italian graffiti writing and street art through the prism of British philosopher Mark Fisher’s concept of the weird, by questioning the aesthetic, socio-anthropological, and critical interaction between street artworks and ruins: what role have ruins played in the development of graffiti writing and street art in Italy? And how, in return, have graffiti writing and street art transformed the aesthetic experience of ruins? |
