The blowing up New York art is inspirational.

What brilliant lateral thinking. Love it. Is there any more of this kinda stuff?

I know a lot of this is circulated - I've had many emails, but it deosn't detract from the artists skills to repeatedly deliver quite amazing imagery on the street. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq2odI1bdh4&feature=related

It's more about context and method

YL good to see you again. We're always on the look out for fresh ideas and interesting applications of the artistic mind. Check "Reverse Graffiti" on here. There's a brilliant video that goes with the whole idea.

Owen and I were just discussing yesterday how art is increasingly being defined by its context and the method of its construction. Rather than street-art being aerosol pigments strewn on brick, the new guerilla artists are thinking deeper and working in 3-D and arresting the public with their imagination.

I hope more people come here to upload their secret art finds.

Brilliant. I assumed by your title reverse graffiti but didn't actually take it in and realise until I saw the video - Very cool! You need to get the video to show in the Merge site. It would have taken years to get as filthy as that. So it's a stirring message that it took art to highlight the need to clean the tunnel. Very smart.

 Quite clever this Reverse Graffiti. There's something beautiful about creating via removing versus simply adding shit to this world. Revealing what was already there perhaps? Is this then classified as graffiti? Surely can't be illegal then, or can it?
