Street Art At Its Best: Duchamp Was Here January 28, 2012
"Historical connections to the state of art during the early 20th Century and how we have become desensitised to art which overtly steals the found object and it becomes recontextualised towards a gallery setting.
It is a state of art which lies in the conceptual process of the viewer, rather than focusing on the technical ability of the artist we are asked to focus not on what the object is, but what it can become when placed in differing circumstances, such as a gallery.
Therefore, the work satirically subverts a state of art which provokes audiences of the past through the use of crude objects and subject matter."
