Abstract
This article proposes to study the relationship between politics of negotiation and "public space" in the case of street art in Melbourne. This art, far from being developed by conventional institutional channels, is originated and uses public space as support. This provokes that every city and citizen position towards this kind of art with their own views and rules. This has as a consequence, a multiple understanding of "public space". The general analysis of this kind of art will be localized in the particular patterns of Melbourne, from the perspective of philosophy of culture. This will range from the political planning adopted by authorities, to the new development of conceptions of "public space"; that usually ranges from legality to illegality.
