Reading the City: The Real Public Art
It amuses and baffles me when street art is referred to as vandalism. If this is because of the quality of the art, it makes no sense, because the best street art — and there is a lot of great street art in Glasgow — is far superior to most commissioned “public art,” which tends towards the generic and mediocre. If it is because street art is done without permission, it makes even less sense, as most citizens have no role in deciding what “public art” is commissioned and created.

Glasgow's Message Is Clear
Spotted near the Halfpenny Bridge this morning. Nice reference to the 1971 novel by Nanni Balestrini.

Oh Pandah in G20
I have seen and admired the work of street artist Oh Pandah all around central Glasgow the last few months, so today I was happy to discover they had made a visit to my bit.
