This lecture really interested me probably because i lived in bristol to do my art foundation and banksy is of course very much part of life there and so there are lots of discussions about graffitti and street art and which is which
I have seen the famous german graffited house before and while looking for it again i found this , this is interesting, graffitti is often associated with politics and squatting... as well as with vandalism, is the truth somewhere bewteen these ideas, or can it be both at the same time. when is graffitti acceptable, is that when it crosses the line to become art and who is to judge that.
