Графитите като монументално изкуство и ново наследство
Graffiti as monumental art and a new heritage

Summary/Abstract: The study presents the diversity of contemporary graffiti, some of which are considered as new forms of monumental art and urban heritage. The legitimation of so-called “pieces” and “murals” as art and heritage is argued on the basis of the artistic content they offer, which could provide both freedom of personal expression and cultural memory of the urban environment. “Pieces” and “murals” with the typical modes of execution of graffiti are thought of as “converted forms” of monumental art and urban heritage, insofar as they lack the usual modes of execution, temporal distance, inheritance and continuity characteristic of “classical” arts and heritages, referred to the continuous fluidity and vitality of the form of expression, which could, however, be treated as a carrier of memory and part of the new urban heritage.
