Maybe the federal government can give some academic a big fat grant to figure out why this happened.
Every now and then we get a story that is hilarious. Thanks.
Everyone of these shiite holes could be burned to the ground and the world of real art would never know the difference.
Los Angeles has 14 miles of non-stop gang graffiti, which has none of the appeal, imagination or character of ‘street graffiti’. The hispanic gangsters in residence are likely stupid enough to imagine the graffiti display at the museum was other gangsters tagging ‘their’ territory
When you legitimize graffiti, indeed when you fund graffiti, you get more of it. MOCA should not complain, they are getting ART for free!
It’s hard to find a surface here that is not tagged up. I wonder what the cost of cleanup and restoration is?
On the other hand, can I get a grant if I go out and buy a half-dozen rattlecans?
Duh!!!!
This is bizzarro.
Almost as amusing as the vandals who smashed that piss Christ crap at that French museum.
“They sprayed grafitti on my grafitti!”
Seriously though, some grafitti does qualify as art far more than most of the stuff you find at any modern art museum. Some of these grafitti artists truly deserve the title “artist.” It’s the mindless tagging that’s an eyesore.
What about the urine (and worse) that makes your feet stick to the pavement, is that special?
I hate graffiti, and I would send anybody caught doing grafitti on a one-way trip to Gitmo.
