This piece was done by a good friend of mine who works at AKIN. he did this for the Eggplant Foamposite release party..and now remember this is removable..after we put it up and a couple of days after the release party, a anonymous lady called in and complained saying that this just gives the thugs and hoodlums to come in and spray paint all over the place...she also said graffiti is not an art and it has no value whatsoever.
When i heard about what happened, i was furious because i feel that its time that this socitey do accept graffiti as an art. im soo tired of the word "taggers,"graffiti etc.." being dragged through the mud.Some forms of graffiti become art according to four criteria. First, graffiti art is separated from everyday graffiti markings by the artist's intention to produce a work of art. Second, graffiti art has an established history of development in style and technique. Third, graffiti art even has been recognized by the art world. A fourth criterion is that the public response to graffiti art indicates that it is art. Whether or not all of the public agrees that graffiti art is good, bad, or extremely valuable is a different discussion about evaluation and not whether or not graffiti art is art. The evaluative concerns actually play more into where, when, and how graffiti art should be displayed.The only obstacle that has hindered the general acceptance of graffiti art is its location and presentation. However, the instances of acceptance of graffiti art by the art world shows that conventional methods of presentation are not all that matters in determining if something is art. And graffiti art is not to be disqualified as art simply because it might appear unsolicited. In short, graffiti in the form of spray can art is art like any other work that might be found in a gallery or a museum.
