Banksy alters Public Space

In: Notes

28 Apr 2010

Banksy is the mysterious graffiti artist with a conceptual bend. He can be seen in his documentation of photos and books.He is very popular for his subversion of ads, fixing ugly walls that are empty, and for political or social subject matter.

“Designated graffiti Area” sprawled on a wall is a perfect example of intervening in urbania. Another brilliant idea is to designate picnic areas as seen in this Banksy tag by some garbage bags on the street. Or when “what are you looking at?” is written in front of a security camera.
