Description: With a point of departure in the creation of an unsanctioned street installation in Granada, Spain, in 2005 - which colloquially became known by residents in its vicinity as "El Robaperas" (English: "The Pear Thief") - this essay considers some of the central characteristics of street art. It further discusses some of the conditions under which urban environs may become places for autonomous interventions, experiences and reflections rather than spaces people merely pass through.
