The Mart Signed Museum For years the Where Are You Street Art? project has told the journey of street art through authentic fragments of urban walls, symbolically bringing the street into homes, galleries and private collections. With this new series, The Mart Signed Museum is born, a natural evolution of my artistic research. I wondered what happens to a work when it finds its definitive placement. A museum protects it, preserves it and hands it to the future, but at the same time it confines it. It can remain hung on the same wall for decades, watched by millions of people, without being able to continue its journey. From this reflection comes the idea of a museum where some works decide, symbolically, to break free. Each work appears as a fragment torn directly from the museum wall. It’s not just the work that is taken away, but also a part of the wall that sheltered it, transforming the museum itself into an integral part of the work. Each collector does not simply buy a painting, but an authentic fragment of the Mart Signed Museum, becoming the next stop in their journey. Materials and authenticity Natural imperfections, marks and dings of the materials are not defects, but an integral part of the work. They tell their story and help make each piece unique. The work is delivered ready to hang and comes with the certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. The artist Mart Signed is an Italian street artist active internationally. His works are part of private collections in numerous countries, and his artistic research focuses on the dialogue between street art, urban memory and museum space, transforming fragments of the city into collectible works. Shipping The work is shipped via specialized couriers managed by Mail Boxes Etc., carefully packaged, insured and equipped with full tracking. In case of a high number of shipments, delivery may take a few additional days. For any information you can contact the artist directly through the platform.
