Talk:Art squat

Article re-written[edit]

I came across the Art squat article, which claimed to be a 'movement' originating in Los Angeles. However, this claim was unproven and the linked articles described early art squats in Paris. I've therefore re-written the article in a more general tone, though I'm not 100% sure the term 'Art squat' is widely used. Opinions, contributions and edits much welcome!

The term 'Art Squat' is a neat description of this phenomenon and is clearly used by a number of reputable sources (though not 100% consistently). I've added Berlin's Tacheles to the article, based on the coverage of its closure by the BBC and a UK newspaper's blog. Der Spiegel uses the term artists' squat. The French term 'squat d'artiste' (used by Le Parisien to describe the rue de Rivoli quarters, is effectively the same thing. Personally, I think the Art squat article should remain because it describes a particular manifestation of artists' space, distinct from the usual, legal organisations.
