Re: Grafitti around Ossy

I'd be more than happy to debate whether graffiti, as examplified most notably Jean-Michel Basquiat, and of late by the Bristol public school art terrorist Banksy, is a continuation of the idea that anything can be art. A philosophy first aired by Duchamp's sculpture of a urinal at a exhibition in 1917, and an idea that was further expanded by the Dadaists.

A tag is not art, in my opinion.

It has no relevance other than to the talentless person who did it.
