>People in Sweden are upset over some old clip called “Territorial Pissing“. The debate is ridiculous – as always in the land where it’s illegal to carry a spraycan. (If you want my opinions on the matter, read Hynek Pallas’ column (in Swedish) here and here.)
Last year, London decided to hail its’ street artists with the awesome Cans Festival by transforming a whole street into an art exhibition, free for everyone to enjoy and where the public was encouraged to add to the exhibition with their own art. “Make your mark!”
The exhibition took place in an abandoned tunnel formely used by taxis which was vacated when the owner Eurostar shut it down. Banksy – world famous graffiti artist – found the tunnel and with the help of Eurostar turned the idea into reality.
Banksy: In the space of a few hours with a couple of hundred cans of paint I’m hoping we can transform a dark forgotten filth pit into an oasis of beautiful art.
