Sure. Little hoodie remembers when it was all trees.

During a recent visit to the Motor City, the artist known as Banksy, an international art world celebrity, secretly stenciled a painting of a boy holding a can of red paint on the wall of the crumbling 3.5-million-square-foot Packard plant. The caption on the work read: "I remember when all this was trees."

With the decay and deurbaniazation of Detroit, within a generation you could carve on one of the trees growing there "I remember when this was a factory".

"And beyond legality, who does the wall really belong to, and now does the art belong to the gallery? To everybody? To nobody? We're operating in this space where there's this lawlessness that opens up possibilities that would be harder to encounter in other cities."

Uh, maybe the title holder of the land and what is left of the building? To the person or company which has been paying property tax on it? The those who would have been held legally liable if a loose brick had fallen off and hit Bansky on the head? Your vandalism is not a claim to my property.

A bit of graffiti? A mere bagatelle! The 3.5 million square foot Packard plant is the art work that belongs to world and must be preserved in it's present condition for future generations.

Yeah, that sounds nuts but no more so than does a legal wrangle over some minor and mediocre art work.

So now they have vandalized a property they don’t own.

Oh wait, it Detroit, thats expected to happen to every building.

Simple answer to their dilemma. Knock down the wall with the graffiti on it and celebrate.

These people glorifying the destruction caused by graffiti need to volunteer their faces as graffiti murals.

Millions upon millions of dollars is wasted on graffiti abatement. Where are the adults in this world?

[Figment]

Well isn’t that special.

Mortar target practice?
