Update on the Stik matter

Posted on: April 30, 2016 by

Many of you will remember that street artist Stik, who spoke at our 28 November 2015 Study Forum, was engaged in a dispute with a notable West London gallery for the return of a mural he had helped create for a local community in Gdansk, Poland in 2011. Well, there is now some more news in the matter…

According to his website, it appears that Stik has ‘restarted’ negotiations to have the mural (or at least part of it) returned to the community in Poland. You’ll recall that the work had been commissioned by the Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art and painted onto two privately-owned shipping containers.

Below is the image of the release from the Laznia Centre following the removal:
