Is that a Stuart/Rachel Hunter/Hornsby sandwich I smell, hot from the toaster of a midsummer Hamptons Jitney ride?

Someone left a comment about old New York vs. new New York. What I find compelling about this graffiti is that it seems to both mock and embody the "new" New York. A friend described Rod Stuart's (sic) work as "Yuppie Graffiti". I found that fitting and this entire campaign endlessly fascinating. It's an empty message packaged in a quirky slogan that quite simply, works.

Ah the halcyon days when the streets of New York were paved with real grit and populated by real people, salt of the earth types.

Am I right? Or am I just spouting mawkish piffle like you - sentimental longings for a time when I wasn’t around and neither were you. I tell you who was though. Most of the people living in this building – artists for the most part, who can’t afford to remove this cheap, gimmicky affront to their existence. See we get fined by the city if we don’t take action. How romantic is that? How fucking great?

This is nothing more than vandalism. It’s an assault, a personal attack that we have to deal with and pay for at the expense of our own art. And what’s more, just like punkhood, hippydom and all the other movements, memes reprised and mimicked for lack of original thought – it’s irrelevant and dated.

Some interesting points there... Is graffiti right? Probably not if it's not your property... but as long as there have been walls, there have been writing on them. From caves to ancient Roman structures and even today in New York City, graffiti in one form or another has always existed. It's a fact of life. Is it clever? Skilled? Maybe... maybe not... beauty is, after all, in the eye of the beholder. But as soon as you paint over it, remove it, whatever, more will surely come again... and again... and again... My advice is to start accepting that urban scrawl is just as much a part of the city as homeless people, noise, pollution, and even those obnoxious fancy condos. This is an apple we live in... and all apples have blights. If that's too much for you to swallow, stop eating them... or move to the country.

This is going to cost us $3500 to remove, and our building has no money. Why doesn't the "artist" hit the fancy condos instead of old-school building like ours and the mechanics next door who have just repainted their walls at considerable expense? Because there's no security, no doorman, no risk? What the fuck is the point of this? It's not clever, it's not skilled, it's not daring or heroic. It's a fucking blight. As defiant as dog shit, expression cloaked in cowardice.
