_:MemphisOrDie:_ Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - Non-gang members are using graffiti to make their mark all over Memphis, but there is a great divide between those who call it art and those who call it a crime. Some people are working to meet in the middle in the debate over taggers. Graffiti has existed since the days of ancient civilizations. Many modern-day taggers consider their work art, but some say graffiti sends a negative message about the welfare of the community. "Graffiti, by definition, is ultimately vandalizing or defacing someone's property that's not yours," said Jack, a Memphis tagger. Jack is a well-known Memphis tagger who asked that his identity not be revealed. "I don't paint illegally anymore, but I've had some years, you know," said Jack The basic principle of graffiti is often to simply say, "I was here." But Jack revealed a cement canvas covered in an intricate web of vibrant colors tucked away on the backside of Memphis buildings. "It's a hobby," said Jack. "Some people play pool, some people go paint on the streets." Jack is among a movement of maturing aerosol artists who take their craft very seriously. They are working their way up in the ranks to become rock stars in an underground world of illustration. "We try to kind of change the view whenever we make art," said Jack. "What you're seeing here today, that's what we want people to think about when they hear the word 'graffiti'." Convincing some Cooper Young business owners to change their view is going to be a challenge for the taggers. Business owner Frank Roberts is assisting the Midtown Security Community in their efforts to run taggers out of town. "It mars the beauty of the neighborhood," said Roberts. The group's website is calling for residents to document graffiti and submit photos to let them know they are being watched. "When we see that graffiti, we want it gone," said Roberts. Roberts said graffiti sends a message of economic and civic decline. "The first thing is just the image that it conveys," said Roberts. "The second this is, hey, it's vandalism." In one Memphis alley, taggers are not breaking the law. Building owners have given the permission to paint there. Jack said designating legal space for graffiti is a way to curb the vandalism. "We want to make art," said Jack. "I want to progress." Opponents are afraid legal space would encourage other taggers to continue to paint illegally. "I would really differ with anybody that would say that it contributes to the good of Cooper Young or Midtown or any city," said Roberts. The debate will likely remain open ended for now, not unlike the question, "what is art?" "It's in the eyes of the beholder, but I would not consider it art," said Roberts. "We consider this art," said Jack. "It may not be your kind of art, but its ours." A number of US cities, including Salt Lake City and Atlanta, have designated areas where graffiti is legal. Many other city governments tried to do the same and failed. They said it brought on more problems than solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funk Dat. you must be thinking small. get paid. scheme on the rich. take their loot. but a motherfucker having a show or putting up a stencil or a wheatpaste with absolutly zero street cred needs a fresh ( or a nasty fugly) drippy ass tag over that shit.and getting paid big bucks for mural art or gallery works., well good luck in tennessee. the gallerys rape the artists on all types of fees that nobody else charges having to upsell your shit more then 70% to make a dollar is some robbery. when i started in the late eighties graffiti was strictly street. shit has changed a lot in the last 20 years.
