The work was 5 days drawing project inside of exhibition space, which locates along the flinder street in city of Melbourne.
The work responded to the public discussion,on ‘waht is art’, which occered after the city of melbourne cencored the political artwork shown previously in the same exhibition space.
At the begining of the last day, the wall drawing which, was developed for 5 days, was ‘covered’ by the black painting on the window from inside, as the representaion of ‘cencoring artwork’.
At the end of 5th day, the black painting was partly taken away as performance in front of audiences’ presence, leaving the ‘marks’ which stated ‘U R A R T’.
