Here’s a vandalism video that is more of a feature length film. It documents the work of ЗАЧЕМ (translated as “Why?”), Moscow’s oldest and most notorious graffiti crew, who apparently are not averse to daylight bombing at all.
Continuing the theme of their Cut Out and Fade Out project, UK street art duo Miss Bugs brings nippled lady-monster collages and colorful silkscreens to their show at the Brookynite Gallery, opening this weekend. Parlour “exploits the idea that the art establishment plays on people’s desires, whether for money, beauty, sex or ownership.” Translation: whole lotta press release that means art is decadent prostitution. “Parlour,” Miss Bugs, Jun 25 – Jul 16, Brooklynite Gallery, NYC

Yet, the artist felt like he had to appease extremists and apologize for all that tranny Jesus cunnilingus. He presented this “uncorrupted” Christ painting to the Colorado Resurrection Fellowship Church in collaboration with their pastor, who said “Wow, this is the most beautiful, uplifting piece of artwork I have ever seen.” I bet.
Need a New York City parking placard, but don’t know a cop or have access to that sweet patronage the criminal justice sector provides to relatives and friends? Fear not, Photoshop will do, most are fakes anyway. To once again show how easy it is to get over, Transportation Alternatives created a bogus permit and lent it to the Daily News.
