Why do I feel like this is between rich art students versus rich art students?

Whether they have a point or not, glass shards in the wheat paint is really nagl, even if it is a pretty shrewd publicity stunt.....
I think what's going on in the 'real' art world is much more disturbing than any of this street art silly bollox.
Street art (and graffiti proper, though I am wary of lumping them together) gives anyone who wants to say something or show something a forum. If there are a handful of dudes making money out of it MORE POWER TO THEM. I don't see anyone destroying works in a gallery, which it could be argued are MORE geared to a commercial market.
If foolios tried this shit in a gallery environment they would be cuffed pretty Frickin' quickly. I'd rather look at a potentially commercially exploited image than a splash of paint thanks.
Seems like sour grapes.
You miss the point some what, but hey ho. It's all already happened.
agreed. So much so that i cant even figure out what the fuck they are mad about.
Dude is pissed that the product of street art has superseded the process of creating it. Basically, the commodification of street art has rendered it impotent. blah blah blah.
I'm actually not mad at the splasher dude. I don't really have the energy to either agree or disagree with his message, but at least he has a message.
Yes! Rock, you have pretty much nailed this one.
That would be hilarious.
I actually did this yesterday, sold the work at 3:38 am for $335,000, and am now spending my share of the funds (the gallery got 97%) on xian country records as I write this.

Thesaurus-addicted (and more than likely, trust-funded) vandals employing badly-DTP'd pseudo-intellectual anarchist screeds to mask their own sour grapes and lack of artistic ability
Please. This is why the phrases "no contest" and "bush league" were invented. Pathetic. Please to go back to your MRR subscription, Crass albums, and Food Not Bombs meetings.
Oh I didn't read that before my previous post. My apologies for accusing "the splasher" of being a sheltered trust-fund anarchist.
Monet's Le Pont d'Argenteuil vandalized
Buy It Now: $9,000.00
well thanks for the offer... but I actually have doubles of that already. Do you have the follow up release to this Lp? They do a more upbeat version of "To Sir With Love" on that one, with the expected Lord Leanings.
Two Canadians who like to do it in the gallery - the second link has a little list of others:
Jubal Brown
Istvan Kantor
Thanks for that, I read about the Monet but the others were off my radar. Both quite odd.
The definition of ass-hurt.
