Dont Steal My Shit!

I wasnt too sure how much information to put out there into the interweb for fear of pilfered ideas and the unscrupulous nature of people. I know im not the greatest artist and photographer in the world but these are my ideas and artistic outputs so keep that in mind kids.

However i have an idea that i thought i would share with you all, basically i cannot think of a way that i could get the cash and support together to put this together so it might as well be out there for all to absorb.

One of my key areas of interest in my visual investigations is to contradict peoples general views of street art and graffiti as it relates to more accepted forms of art.In this i attempt to create exterior works for the street that are as intricate and refined as possible given the elemental circumstances. This is an attempt to challenge the general publics view of graffiti as being 'unsightly mess'. On the flip side of this i create works for the confines of the gallery that explore more immediate methods of graffiti inspired application complete with drips, imagery and lettering that is difficult for the untrained eye to decipher and subversive.

Thinking back to a couple of posts ago, i submitted an image of the interior of an old building which had the roof collapsed from fire and the remnants of a burned out car. Basically i want to deconstruct this space, or one similar to it, and reconstruct in the confines of a gallery. Transporting each graffiti clad brick, burnt beam and all the refuse that lay between the walls, effectively recreating the entire experience in a scaled to fit format designed for the interior of an exhibition space. This would transform the space to look and feel like an abandoned space complete with all the dirt, smells and detritus that most people would other wise not experience.

I could write more theoretical passages on the further implications and meaning of this project but i just wanted to share this one briefly, more to keep it fresh in my own mind i guess, like an online diary entry.
