Melbourne is deemed as the stencil capital of the world. As in other street art epicentres such as London, New York and Berlin, local artists in Melbourne must negotiate the challenges between the street, the studio and gallery spaces as urban art becomes increasingly commercialized in contemporary culture. This book examines these challenges.
