[...] Der etwa 21jährige Urban Artist Armsrock, der zur Zeit in Bremen lebt, ist einer der dänischen Vorzeige Streetart-KünstlerInnen. Seine handgezeichneten, oft ledensgroßen Menschen, die er vorwiegend auf ollem, braunen Papier auf den Straßen verklebt sind weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus bekannt. »When I started working on the streets I wanted to try to create something that was a counterweight to the fictive plastic world of the ever-present commercial.« (Armsrock) [...]

“I mean, a lot of art has a tendency to be distantly afloat in the real world. You cant eat it, or live in it, you are preferably not supposed to touch it, it is just supposed to be there and give you some kind of experience.”

Lovely quote, and this is where work in the streets has its biggest force, I think. It puts art into the decaying, real, moving, loud world, and out of the strange cinema-like dimension we call “galleries”.
If we wont let things change and go into decay, then art has a strange, fake connection with the world. Nothing is ever supposed to stay young and beautiful – and it doesnt, it rots.

Not letting even the most time- and energy-consuming artwork die slowly is, as Armsrock also talks about, a horrible human need to hold on to the past, and to have something to show for. Recognition.
Its vanity.
