YL : Is free public art more or less valuable than expensive gallery work?
O : Valuable is a subjective term. free is free. non? I saw paintings that changed my life at no price to me but it was of immesurable value. Everyone seems to be obsessed with cost and no one really focuses on value. I think Graffiti is termed as free art as well as street art. In the same measure, one can view video works and happenings and installations as "free" because there is nothing you can take with you. No real ownership. The only true ownership is the fluxus based relationship that the viewer brings to all interactions with art. The more one brings to the art the more one gets out.
