«Street Art invaded the inner city street space at the end of the last century. And with its very own irrepressible power, it has established itself even against advertising messages as well as against the urban environment. And now it is on the way into museums. And the fences and the writings brought on canvas as well as real paintings have preserved this power. And Urban Art, which in particular needs this urban environment, is has a destiny to preserve this irrepressible power which drives us forward», the curator of the exhibition Meinrad Maria Grewenig marks.
