→ graffiti crews, and areas form their own way of communicating with little to no concern for how it is received outside of their limited social circles….this is not always the case, though when is the choice made, is it a conscious decision, is the exclusion necessary, is the excessive abstraction necessary, is it there ‘for art’s sake?’ is the writing on the wall always a vernacular? Does it always target one group? What are the challenges faced by a writer who wants to leap outside of the structured boundaries? What are the challenges faced by those who want to remain within, are we - those who study – breaching their world in an unwanted way, should it be left not understood, non legible scrawl across the landscape?

tags are ugly, but so are first choice ads, -- if we ban them all we've got grey walls to eternity ... and we all saw how berlin ends.
