Ever since attending art school in Toronto, I have been aware of the differences between Street art and Gallery art - the idea that street art has no relevance in the gallery setting.  The argument that once you take graffiti out of the streets and place it in the gallery, it ceases to be street art.  I believe the nature of graffiti to be the undoing of these ideas.  It surrounds us in so many public spaces : transit, mail boxes, basically everywhere.  Nowadays it even shows up in advertising.  Im not sure if  I've ever seen a gallery that wasn't open to the public.
