Industrial wastelands and Street Art

Industrial wastelands, areas forgotten by economic changes, neglected by the lively rhythm of working class activities, sometimes become places for alternative practices. The discreet calm of these deserted spaces with their monumental volumes makes them a territory conducive to the expression of street art artists. They can work there in complete peace of mind – far from the urgency of the streets and the illegality of their practices in public spaces – transforming disused buildings into zones of free expression.
