STREET ARTISTS IN EUROPE - Fondazione Fitzcarraldo

Street Artists in Europe
• The information was centralised by HorsLesMurs and a follow-up and two relaunches
initiated according to the returns recorded.
• The analyses were enriched by data available elsewhere, university research work,
studies or seasonal evaluations of the organizing institutions.
• Periodic and targeted quantitative or qualitative surveys conducted in diffusion venues
served as a complement to present and refine the results.
• In order to ensure a systematic consideration of the stakeholders, we developed survey
methods, semi-structured questionnaires, etc.
1.3.1. Aesthetic forms of street arts in Europe
Questions on the aesthetic forms of street arts were integrated in a questionnaire on aesthetics
forms, publics, means of production and diffusion compiled by HorsLesMurs and Judith Gabay-
Neisse and sent out by HorsLesMurs to artists and companies in order to collect data on the way
they define their own artistic creations.
The thesaurus specified was the one HorsLesMurs uses when integrating street arts shows in its
European data base (one of its permanent activities).
To point out the different artistic forms (disciplines and know-how), Anne-Karine Granger
worked from statistics established on street shows registered from January 2002 to January
2007.
This researcher also studied the programmes of the most important festivals in Europe in the
same period and view a selection of videos.
