Painting for the Urban Landscape

By arranging ‘graffiti’ in a site-specific location alongside photographs of ‘graffiti’ in urban/industrial space, and flyers that exist in the site itself as well as urban space, “Painting in Urban Landscape” will explore the relationship between, art, space and meaning. The project invites observers to engage the cultural meaning of art as ‘high’ or ‘popular,’ by changing the space in which the art is seen.

Noah Bankhurst is a fourth year Art History undergraduate with an interest in contemporary museum practices and city space.  His work is concerned with the cultural significance of museums and their displayed works. He is interested in the formation of a hierarchical system of images and the negotiation of meaning thorough space. Noah will graduate December of 2006 with a BFA in Art History.
