Minus the bomb scares, is The Splasher is proof that art can still matter?

The Splasher analysis continues with yet another extensive piece in the Arts section of today's New York Times: Splashing the Art World With Anger and Questions.

Some highlights:

The current agitators, although they’ve got some of the revolutionary patter down, seem to lack clearly defined targets or priorities. Is the problem gentrification or the art market or artists or late capitalism? What’s troubling them — the street art they’re defacing or the fact that some of the street artists might also show in galleries?

And, by the way, what’s wrong with artists, even street artists, making a buck? The spectacle, as Debord might have said, of the present art world in thrall to Mammon is incredibly depressing. But selling art isn’t selling out, necessarily, and making art for people on the street doesn’t preclude showing (a different sort of) art in galleries. Physical endangerment in the form of bombs, stinky or otherwise, then crosses the line from mischief to mayhem.

New York neighborhoods are indeed changing, not all for the better, as the city becomes more affluent and homogeneous, and art shouldn’t exist in it simply as a symbol of wealth and privilege. It should seize public spaces where it can, to make itself more part of daily life, more relevant in the world, and to become a source of serendipity, pleasure, trouble, controversy and interest to people outside the art world, not just inside it.

With this much attention, The Splasher will no doubt be showing soon in a Chelsea gallery near you.

The Splasher Manifesto

The New York Times covers the Splasher today and even links to the 16-page Splasher Manifesto.

Read more about it here and here.

The funny thing is, Bathroom Graffiti Artists have been dealing with this issue forever. You put a scrawl on the wall and come back the next day and many times your work has already been painted over!

Isn't that what graffiti is all about, anyway? There is an impermanent quality to graffiti that makes it beautiful. Those who were lucky enough to view it while it lasted.

The Splasher is just reminding us that graffiti can be washed away. And that's part of its power.

Bathroom Graffiti The Book

The Reverse-Graffiti Artist

Graffiti Artist Moose is baffling authorities as they try to figure out if selective cleaning is a crime?

"The tools are simple: A shoe brush, water and elbow grease," he says.

"British authorities aren’t sure what to make of the artist who is creating graffiti by cleaning the grime of urban life. The Leeds City Council has been considering what to do with Moose. "I’m waiting for the kind of Monty Python court case where exhibit A is a pot of cleaning fluid and exhibit B is a pair of my old socks," he jokes.

Are you as concerned about the world's diminishing Net freedoms as we are?

 Google, Yahoo, Microsoft are all now supporting censorship of the Net in China and elsewhere. And now the big telecom companies are trying to push through hefty tarrifs on bandwidth. At least we can take to the streets and communicate with graffiti art once they take our Net freedoms away. Free Expression Forever!
