boxes like this in dublin get painted by artists as things like tarot cards, match boxes, scenes from around the city, etc: dublin.ie/live/stories/dublin-canvas/
it’d be cool to see street artists just decide to take them over directly with their own art/designs, so they’re not always going through a county/local council (which i assume involves sanitising any socio-political messages the artists might have)
Is it plain green boxes with belligerent text?
I can see painting something effortful to make a statement, but not what’s in the picture.
I would have expected it to say “oh no it has paint on it” in that case.
The graffiti for its own sake in this context feels really crass in the same way that installing a fancy sign at a food pantry that says “Get a job.” does.
I’ll take the downvotes for that perspective, but you can have some money and support anarchist points of view at the same time.
Reminds me of the red wall fight in London
Graffiti artist Mobstr tagged the same London wall over one year in a curious experiment. He began on July 17th, 2014, and made his final contribution just a few months ago. Mobstr, who has undertaken similar projects before, explains how this cat-and-mouse game began inside!. Visual Art
