The City of Lights - FREE GRAFFITI RESEARCH LAB (NYC) WORKSHOP THIS WEEKEND
There is no doubt that graffiti has been a hot topic in Perth over recent weeks. With debate over regulating laws, sentencing and civilian rights, what better time to throw a little extra light on the subject.
A surprise visit this weekend by the renowned arts group New York’s Graffiti Research Lab (GRL) will add a splash of non permanent colour over inner city streetscapes, as high tech laser technology allows participants to ‘tag’ skyscrapers and other city surfaces.
In an age where graffiti is plastered over the walls of high end galleries and featured on every second clothing and lifestyle product, yet the act of just carrying a can of spray paint can land you in serious legal trouble, Graffiti’s place in today’s society is an issue that needs some focus and discussion.
Join the Graffiti Research Lab as they explore the issues and show their work at a free presentation and forum this Sunday followed by an ‘open workshop’ for all interested on the streets of Perth.
