Real Street Art V Graffiti
Now something I do not accept as art is graffiti. I hate seeing paint plastered over the sides of buildings, under bridges, on buses and trains, at railway stations and so on. People try to defend it saying it is street art. Vandalism is not art and there is no place for it in society.
I was in New Norfolk recently and we came across the back of this building which had been painted probably by an artist with these colourful murals. I was very taken with it and thought it looked fantastic. I expect they were having trouble with graffiti artists messing up the back of their business and got sick of cleaning it up. It would be a great shame if someone messed this up. I would much rather see this than so called street art everywhere. This is much better than the boring grey besser blocks too.
That’s pretty cool. We have a graffitti covered shipping container in Geeveston at present which is supposed to be art, it’s touring round all the bushfire affected towns and is supposed to help to cheer us up.

I don’t see how that would work.

It apparently has viewing windows and they were running workshops for kids today but most people I have spoken to don’t get it either . And most are annoyed that they parked it right on the corner of Church and Brady Streets taking up parking spots in front of the hardware store and hairdressers.
