RE: Getting Back at Le Corbusier : Spray-painting the Villa Savoye

in #art7 years ago

Thanks @kenfinkel! Yes it would be fun to employ this same strategy in reaction to text-based pomposity. Actually a lot of these graffiti works were direct visual translations of quotations from Corb's book Toward a New Architecture...so maybe it's not a big leap from here. For instance the floral wallpaper was a reaction to his line, "Your imitation stone stucco and your wall-papers are impertinence, and no good modern picture could ever be hung on your walls, for it would be lost in the welter of your furnishings." How smug is that!? I think "starsplaining" is a perfect word for it!
