...............Graffiti in Granada

SPANISH ADVENTURE:

Yes, GRAFFITIdawg has contacts all around the world. Just recently one sent some interesting graffiti pics from Spain.

This first image of a human heart was photographed in Cordoba. The caption attached "The Heart is bigger than the world" both eloquent and apt.

The following images are all found around Granada, Spain. They tell a lot about the cultural diversity found within the area. I've kept the images large so that you are able to see the amazing detail that the artists has been able to capture and express.

Below you will find a link graffiti'd on a wall (click the image).. GRAFFITIdawg checked it out, it's still under construction... but by the looks.. will be up soon.

If you have any graffiti images that you would like to publish on this blog GRAFFITIdawg

IS? Graffiti Social Media?

From Social Media To Human Media - critical reflection on social media & some design methods to design social environments

View more presentations from Niels Hendriks Susan Herring and associates have concluded that, '... social networks consist of people connected through various social relationships and exchanges ...' (Herring et al, 2005). dawg is prepared to argue here that GRAFFITI and its derivatives (paste-ups, tagging etc. etc.) is just that - socialisation , but in pictorial form. Artists and taggers express themselves to each another and to an ever widening audience (thanks to the Internet) in a manner that is saying something about them in a language that others can understand

So by graffiti(ing) on my own image, what does that say about me?

Are we all contributing to social spaces by using a variety of
graffiti, to send a message in one form or another to each other like the
Ancient Egyptians did with pictographs?. (dawg does
not condone the use of illegal drugs btw...Image 4.
((which has now been painted over by the Hobart City Council 10-10-2011))
So is graffiti a social message then? AND who are they talking to about what?

Schoolhouse Gallery Rosny Farm

On advice from an illustrator acquaintance , this GRAFFITIdawg took a heady drive over the Tasman Bridge to the Schoolhouse Gallery Rosny Farm, run by Clarence City Council, where they have been holding an exhibition of works by art students interested in graffiti ~~and associated~~ ~~stencil work~~. The following photos have been taken by the dawg for this blog and reproduced with kind permission from the gallery. For further photos and information check out Rosny Farm on Facebook.
