So it went something like this last Wednesday...

So it went something like this last Wednesday... art was left, vinyl was left, people picked it up, people werer seen with it under their arms, talking to each other about it... the council saw it all as litter... the elite West London galleries who seem to think art has to have a designer label attached didnt like the spae invasion too much... and the Facebook talk went like this....

Oh yes, still a few, as with most small record labels, not every release sells out, or you fall to the temptation of repressing one too many times... everything is a potential canvas though... Wonder if those left out last night found a home, most seem to have gone when we retraced our steps later in the evening,,, did they find a loving home or a council roadsweeping bin?

Much better to be a fly on the wall letting everybody find their own interpretations rather than robbing them of that by explaining WHAT it means. Same goes for songs

Flies indeed, spies they are, this morning a delightfully colourful phonecall from the Kensington And Chelsea council explaining how they do like ot encourage art but that there is a place for it. Seems someone had made a complaint about someone littering the streets with big pieces of cardboard, we had an interesting conversation about litter ... See morebeing nothing but litter and this being a "friendly off the record warning" to say that if it happens again they have an idea about who what and where and that further action will have to be taken... they declined the invite to come talk on the radio show...

‎"Encourage art but that there is a place for it"????!!!!! That is when my entire school life went downhill -in the 3rd grade- because there was a 'place' (and conforming standards) regarding art KEEP LITTERING THE STREETS WITH ART FOR GOODNESS SAKES! Thrown away chewing gum wrappers no one minds but art is objected to?

There is rubbish on the street already, the very same pieces of art in question are painted/sprayed on to pieces of cardboard that, if i have my facts correct, started life after their initial use as rubbish/litter/garbage whatever you wanna call it! So really your not littering but just brightening up the litter that is already there, thus ... See moremaintaining the same amount of litter on the streets, but hold on, cos making them look good and then people taking them home, that's recycling and that is a good thing! No bad can come of this venture! Keep it up and I'm gonna join in!

Well yes, that is true, the pieces were painting on cardboard found on the street, giant cardboard boxes that once contained flat screen TVs... found them in Brent though, so technically the litter has been moved from one borough to another

actually all but one of my big canvas pieces from this year have been painted on canvas found on the street, litter as it were - bring me you unwanted canvas, your unfinished paintings, your nice thick slabs of flatscreen cardboard, nevermind Michael Landis, i am your artbin...

john landis is a film director, who is michael? his brother? shifting litter from one borough to a next isn't a crime. think of all those awful bands playing in different boroughs/cities/countries, they're shifting rubbish all over the place. no one stops them. cardboard for canvas, perfect! will used old cardboard to send cd's in, recycling is what we're doing! thats a good thing mr and mrs council!!
