my thoughts..........................
Some just looks down right nasty but others looks absolutly fantastic. Lets give them somewhere that they can perform such arts.........yes i class it as a form of art as i think it has over the years deserved a place in the art ratings. Art is a form of expression and for me i would rather see some 'WOW' factor graffitti then going into an art gallery and lookin at a 'can of tuna' ! Yep i remember some years back that the 'can' won an award............sorry but i dont class it as art, some peeps do and that is their preferance. But in answer to your question Anais, yes i think they should be given a place where they can freely express themselves.
One word, BANKSY. Love his work, I work regular down south and some great artwork/graffit about, I love it. Just hate the mindless biro, marker, one colour spray of tagging, shit jokes etc lol.. art is art what ever form.
I don't know about Banksy, but Anais talked me into submitting some work for the Turner prize a few years back. Unfortunately I didn't get anywhere...........and I really thought I knew everything about Ike and Tina !!!!!!!!!
