Breaking a long silence(sorry, folks, life just caught up with me is all!) to ponder a bit after the Banksy/Robbo fracas, whether this kind of thing(illustrated) which devours one of Mosko's artworks in Belleville, is vandalism or just another layer of art..Was discussing this with some friends the other day and everyone was very divided on the matter. Me, my instinct is to feel uncomfortable--like it seems aggressive to me, what's happening here--but other people think it's cool, that this art is living art, street art that's not just frozen in an art gallery or museum but lives out there taking its chances..Yeah I know I sort of came down on that side, kind of, earlier, but now I've sort of changed my mind..I think it SOUNDS cool, but in reality it's not really that cool, but more of a power play thing, like saying, you're not relevant any more, shove over! Which I don't like. And the tagging and stuff that goes on like with this Nemo one too makes me feel mad, I'm sorry if that's uncool but that's the way I feel!
