The standard keeps on getting better, both of photos and artwork. Keep up the good work all round.
But is there any chance you can say where the photos are taken in future? Just so we can see what areas are devoloping good street art scenes and where is lacking?
banksy photos of his little museum raids were first published on this site
This is a pleasure to view, its nice to see a collection of creative thinking and art.
The "what are you looking at?" pic is the best in my not so humble opinion.
Noise Hacker, you deserve a pint.
thing with "the writing on the wall" is - that it never gets left there. They see the message and scrub it out. Suppose the same thing happens with inter-galactic messages of hope they don't like "of the stop messing up your garden and stop war" variety, they play it a few times and then decide its not worth keeping. Or the content of the fifteen minutes chat with a pope, "oooo that was nice - put me back behind the desk of warmonger now please".
Anyways in 2003 Pope JP2 found his way on to the wall in BCN- a few stencils of his face appeared- only lasted a short while, one near my house was by the door to a healthfood shop, I remember seeing the owner woman scrubbing it, "you're scrubbing the pope señora" said I, "bah - its nothing but fecking vandalism" said she, but in a more local sort of way (there is no spanish / catalan word for feck).
here's a link to http://www.duncancumming.co.uk/
he's a glasgow dude, and has put online a huge collection of photos of the ephemeral messages where "art meets vandalism meets humour meets urban culture meets craft" from all over europe.
A surprising number of them are from BCN I know coz I don't get out much and i recognise them.
Street art is very copyleft, it invites mimicry, it wants to be copied, it is either a gift or a turd left in the public space- They never really go away either, the resurface in the "copy trades" of fashion and magazine journalism and then telly. [thats called horizontal communication stick it in your dissertation].
I'll leave you one by my house that hasn't got scrubbed yet, one of a few which I really like seeing.
on the walls of gilead - popes get scrubbed & geishas stay
it makes the discovery all the sweeter
-and keeps it a secret from grey-loving-internet-watchers.
