Was soll ich dazu gross sagen. Shepard “Obey” Fairey interviewt den legendären Banksy. Einer bekannter als der der andere. Ihre Arbeiten so unterschiedlich wie Tag und Nacht. Der eine steht, u.a. durch den Wahlkampf für Obama, in der Öffentlichkeit, der andere arbeitet anonym im Verborgenen und möchte daran auch nichts ändern. Aber was rede ich hier lange rum!? Das wisst ihr doch sowieso schon alles. Und jetzt ab zum Interview…

What’s the most perfect non-traditional piece of art that you’ve seen that’s not currently hanging in a museum?

B: The most perfect piece of art I saw in recent times was during an anarchist demonstration in London a couple of years ago. Someone cut a strip of turf from the grass in front of Big Ben and put it on the head of the statue of Winston Churchill. Later, the demo turned into a riot, and photos of Winston with a grass Mohican were on the cover of every single British newspaper the next day. It was the most amazing bit of vandalism, because it was the perfect logo for this eco-punk movement that was trying to reclaim the streets, bring an end to global capitalism, and defend the right to sit in a park all day getting wasted on discount lager.
