- Abstract
The article below considers different aspects of implementation of street-art practice in the contemporary city architecture. The article recognizes various placements of murals in residential and former industrial zones as a very convenient strategy of contemporary street-art for creation of a new visual image for a single building or for a whole city. Also, the work with street-art examples in different scales is considered: from single murals that cover parts of buildings to a complex of several murals that form image of the whole district. The article shows character of changes of artistic image of contemporary city depending on the various capabilities of various types of street-art technics. Like any relatively new phenomenon, street art does not yet have a proper fundamental justification in the national art history. Research in street art in most cases is a series of individual portraits of artists of this direction of public art. Much of the works about street art, both Russian-speaking and foreign, at best contain a description and fragmentary mosaic of the work of individual artists.
