Outside(r) art

Outside(r) art

A blank concrete wall behind the new Arts Center has become a popular
canvas for graffiti. Rather hypocritically, the Arts Center people
have been power-spraying the designs away. So much for encouraging
art. From the work I've seen, many spray-paint taggers are much more
talented than many "real" artists. One group puts their artwork
indoors, the other puts theirs outdoors. I think it's time to tear
down the walls and integrate art with our environments. I thank the
taggers for adding a splash of colors to my morning walk. If not for
them, it'd be just another dreary grey wall contributing to the
color-neutralization of our cities.

Anyway, I saw this new piece of graffiti on the wall this morning.
Roughly, it says, "It is prohibited to contaminate the mind with
publicity."
