Specifics of Periodization in Russian Street Art

Abstract

Although Street Art as a consistent global movement existed from approximately 1998 to 2008, this periodization needs to be updated for the peripheral scenes. As street art is site specific and peripheral by its nature, it needs to be perceived as follows. Not everywhere, especially in comparison to the cities or regions with less developed art institutions and art market, the processes of instrumentalization and co-opting of Street Art by the Creative Сity discourse happens with the same dynamic.
