I wanted to share this article as it is of particular interest to me. This article is about Banksy’s artwork that was destroyed at an auction. Street art has been an interest of mine for years and I have written a few papers about the fine line between graffiti, street art and vandalism.
The placement of razors into the photo frame is shown in a video Bansky uploaded to instagram captioned with a quote from Picasso: “The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.” I find this particularly interesting as it is also redefining creativity and is asking us what we consider art.
