Such a surprise to hear from you, although I probably shouldn't be amazed anymore, haha.<br /><br />I'm interested in this multiple tiered streetart motive stuff. Now that I think about it I guess I'm kind of viewing this the way people used to view illustration (i.e illustrators and sellouts) which, given that I'm an illustrator, is kind of weeeiiirrdd.<br /><br />I look forward to checking it out. Really enjoyed your interview, by the way.alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08110717764422109619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403081316996130987.post-74736009233803494472011-05-14T05:39:07.695-07:002011-05-14T05:39:07.695-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Knudsen Hammethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651626960015176630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403081316996130987.post-59431188941745654622011-05-14T05:37:31.326-07:002011-05-14T05:37:31.326-07:00Give it a read and I'd be curious how it strik...Give it a read and I'd be curious how it strikes you. But as for being naive, I'll just say that I have no illusions that street art can be described *universally* in the way I did. Banksy's motives have always seemed pretty clear even before Exit, that is, to hoax and prank his " audience". But the artists I was following around *did* provoke questions about motive because I saw the work going up and knew from talking to them that motive was really difficult to plot using conventional measures. And it was too that mystery ( why do this at all?) that I traced the uplifting hopeful power of the work. The gift like quality, yes. <br /><br />Thanks for your interest. <br /><br />Timothy Taylor<br />Www.timothytaylor.caKnudsen Hammethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651626960015176630noreply@blogger.com
