banksy in new orleans

Bansky has just been to New Orleans, so has hurricane Gustav. But the grafitico wasn't there to do battle with Gustav, he wanted to take on Grey Ghost.

According to Banksy Grey Ghost is: "A notorious vigilante who has been systematically painting over any graffiti he can find with the same shade of grey paint since 1997. Consequently he's done more damage to the culture of the city than any section five hurricane could ever hope to achieve."

This to me sounds a bit petulant and rather too much like a bemoaning Bono. Fight on Ghost, because if the streets are your canvas you've got to accept you have no control of your precious art work.

Update: SuperTouch have some images of Banksy's stencils defaced by unappreciative southerners.
[Thanks Conor]

transparent buildings

The NY Times has a photograph of World Trade Tower no.7 which appeared see through, on the verge of vanishing, one evening this week. The writer goes on to say how the building seemed transparent - which is the architectural watchword of the era.

I entirely agree with the writer on the point of how the aesthetic of transparency has guided post modern architects; in Ireland countless pubs have been ruined by a form of architectural glasnost. Gone is the dark and furtive atmosphere which was a result of poky windows leaving a minimum of light in. Now expansive windows frame the front of pubs where you can nearly see all the way in to the toilets.
