I'm not here to judge people's art, I just record what I see objectively as possible. I've never seen someone write a note to a street artist and post it on a telephone pole. I saw this handwritten note from a Silver Lake resident (I'm assuming) scrawled on a piece of cardboard (from a Nomatterwhatness stencil) yesterday at Sunset Junction. It reads:
you owe the entire Silvelake community an apology! including the sidewalks, the walls, & even the trees. I'd like to call it "art" but it really isn't... No Matter Whatness is an eye it's vandalism
first off-- who made this irate citizen the authority on what does or doesn't qualify as art?
ReplyDeleteand secondly-- *my* silver lake embraces the starry-eyed dreamers and "vandals" who remind us to look for beauty in unusual places. Smiley-face mcgee should consider moving out of silver lake to whitewashed Everytown, USA.
