Anthony from Brooklyn Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I was looking around a torrent tracker, and I ran into this little gem of a movie. It's called The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal, and it tries to pass off graffiti removal as a modern art form. Just so you don't think that I'm bullshitting you (the tracker is private -- karagarga.net), I took some screen shots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thesis Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Covering someone elses art with some stupid, poorly made squares of paint is something my 4 year old niece can do. Suppressing real artwork with these stupid blocks makes the walls they are on look stupid, and most people I know that despise graffiti think these coverups are even worse because of how trashy they make places look. Looks like the city cant afford matching paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdee652 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 this shit is soooooooooooooooooooooooo wack...............all these spots would look ill with a fresh burner on them, however i wouldn't look at these walls twice if there wasn't tight graffiti blazing on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLoveRamen Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 hah. I remember Twist had an article about buff paint being art in GRAPHOTISM. i still have the issue. it's funny how some of the shit that gets hit nowadays are already fucked-up-looking in the first place. the paints all old and peeling off. then once it gets hit, that's when buffers actually paint over it and it doesn't even match the original. it's like: spicing up bland city landscapes versus white-washing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 i'll bet that the buff marks are way cooler looking than the shitty ass scribbly hands that they're covering. i love that stuff, but only when its done by city workers and random people. if you try to do it like an art, you fail instantly.

neocon Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 i've seen the movie, it's really good. i even wondered if there's a hidden sense of humour in it. by the way, i think this is the final proof that the cia was right when they promoted abstract expressionism as the superior, originally american form of art in the 50s.

natty one-dread Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 There's some other guy, Jim Laird in chicago, who has made an art career out of photographing painted-over graffiti, even to the extent that he proposed creating sculptures based on the shapes of painted-over graffiti. (they look fucking stupid though, of course, who wants a giant sculpture of a irregular shaped blob/box?) What drives me crazy though is how people go into so much about shapes and colors of the buff, but they never talk about what's underneath and why thats important too. those people are just happy in their little white boxes of apartments, happy looking at off-white boxes on their walls... modernist bullshit.
