Art & Design. Public Wall Writing in Philadelphia
Art & Design. Public Wall Writing in Philadelphia: The other day on the train, I overheard a conversation two overcaffeinated people were having about art. Their conclusion: "all the best art is done by people who will never get recognized for it because they had no idea that they were creating art in the first place." I don't know if I agree with them totally, but it makes you think.
Megawords just released Public Wall Writing in Philadelphia. The publication, limited to 1000 copies, documents Philly graffiti from the 60s to the early 80s. The book is a series of contradictory moods and visuals. Like, the image of a young man writing "Tom loves Kate" juxtaposed with an image of an elderly woman riding a graffiti-riddled train alone at night, poetically illustrate a chaotic period in a city that is always evolving.
