Free Shepard Fairey
3.22.09 by RuthAccording to this article in … yeah, I don’t really have to tell you what publication … an artist, Shepard Fairey, (who is incidentally most famous for another piece of art) was brought to court this week in Boston for vandalism.
An example of the charges against him:
Here’s something else which was painted on concrete…
…in Berlin, in 1989. That piece of concrete is now an art gallery.
There are many many many more examples.
Remember the trash cans at Central which had reproductions of famous pieces of art on them? If you didn’t go to Central, pretend you remember them anyway. I think we can all agree that that was a pretty awesome idea. It was an awesome idea because it took blank surfaces and made them interesting. The difference between that and the examples above is, essentially, the pressence of permission. As rebelious teenagers, I think we can all agree that permission isn’t important.
If you were considering going out and spraypainting “Free Shepard Fairey” on the sidewalks, you should call me so I can go with you. Actually, if you are Shepard Fairey you can probably afford both a good lawyer and bail. Nevermind.

I can understand that it might get annoying if you were trying to make something look “nice” (a word that means a lot of different things to different people) and some punk screwed it it, it might be pretty annoying. The right not to have punks screw up your property is a nice one. However, our interpretation of “nice” is the right one, so people with ugly concrete walls will just have to deal.
