3. Counter Cultures
Situations : may 1968
Groups of people coming together through shared political and social values not through music, dress etc. In paris artists were shaking up the value. Upsetting people, asking these king of questions - why are people at war? Protesting. Unsettling of situations, people were out to cause trouble and come up with strategies of getting peoples attention quickly.
AGIT POP - graphic aggitation. Getting inside peoples heads - under the pavement, the beach, making signs, making posters. Do it with collage, changing messages.
Paris - Atelier Populaue. Anyone can use posters, silkscreen to get message across. Anybodies studio.
'Be modern, be up-to-date, change the rules, change it' - Jasper Jorn on Detourne
Conclusion: graffiti has a heritage, its an inspiration. Bansky - bricolage and detourne. Inspired or sellout?
