“The theme of Issue II – ELOQUENT VANDALS – is a provocative link to street art and urban culture’s delinquent roots and the ‘creative joy of destruction’ – evidenced most recently in Banksy and Blu’s high profile acts of auto- iconoclasm, but also present in a multitude of everyday, human scale, unsanctioned urban interventions. The rise of festival-sponsored neoliberal muralism sits uneasily with these ungovernable forms of urban creativity. Nuart Journal Issue II contains contributions that celebrate the work of street art’s eloquent vandals, and papers that critically examine attempts to cultivate, instrumentalise, commodify, and ‘protect’ the art of the streets.” Only half a year after the birth of the Nuart Journal the second issue was released in April 2019. Following the editors intentions the No.2 “marks another step towards realising a more ‘critical street art.’” As the whole concept of the journal is opened to submissions, whether full-length papers or shorter experimental essays, the recent version includes again a broad variety of peer-reviewed contributions from the Netherlands, Australia, Russia, U.S.A., UK Sweden, etc.. Although most of the texts do not particularly feature topics of classic graffiti in the tradition of name-writing, the articles are never the less interesting and relevant due to an overlap of similarities in between street art, graffiti and other sub genres of urban art.
