Creative forms of looting

The Independent from 03/09/2011 had a very enlightening article on street art that was removed from its original context to be displayed, of all places, in a gallery.  Isn't this what some would call inside-out and upside-down?




After reading 'Hacked off: the art show that's driven Banksy up the wall' I started thinking whether this could be considered a new form of looting, vandalism, preservation or even whether this could just be a new form of art: gallery-street art?
