Interview with IRL, anti-tech graffiti artist

tk-graffiti

I’d been seeing anti-tech graffiti around my town for the better part of a decade. Over the course of months it would appear in bursts, then slowly fade as the authorities cleaned it. Some places, images, or slogans only seemed to appear once, while others were clearly contested territories where cleaning and painting happened regularly. For years I wondered who the vigilantes that made my walks and bike rides so much more exciting could be. In a funny synchronicity, I finally met “IRL” through a mutual friend the same week another friend of mine started an anti-technology journal. We wandered for an hour all over town, behind warehouses, down train tracks, and beneath bridges discussing this very particular subset of graffiti. Some edits have been made for clarity. — Renzo

Manifesto of Surrealism

André Breton

Preface for a Reprint of the Manifesto (1929)

It was to be expected that this book would change, and to the extent that it questioned our terrestrial existence by charging it nonetheless with everything that it comprises on this or that side of the limits we are in the habit of assigning to it, that its fate would be closely bound up with my own, which is, for example, to have written and not to have written books.

Samedi 24 Mai: vernissage SMOD à la Luttine

Silver Mullet Of Death est le pseudo d’Arnaud. Sérigraphe, dessinateur et organisateur de tournées et concerts punk, il commence à organiser des concerts au début des années 90 dans le Nord/Pas de Calais, où il crée ses affiches à base de collages et de dessins pourris, le tout en photocopies. En voyageant notamment aux USA et dans certains squats suisses, il découvre que certains punks locaux sérigraphient leurs affiches en plusieurs couleurs et grand format, à la main, dans leur garage ou leur cuisine.

« – He’s already two hours late.
– Ah, but you know he’s an artist, and artists…
– Oh that, the artists…
– That’s the way they are, these artists.

It’s difficult not to soften and melt under the charm of artists and to not envy
them in a society founded on forbiddance and the threat of jail. Certain manners of
behaviour which no one else can get away with are permitted to the artist.

NAFTALINA – Der Bleu Reiter

naf1

Naftalina non è una rivista d’arte, bensì, parte di una idea in continuo movimento.

Numero primo
L’assiette au beurre (1901-1912)

La più feroce e irriverente rivista della Belle Epoque.
L’assiette au Buerre, letteralmente “piatto di burro”, compare in Francia nell’aprile 1901.
Senza alcun dubbio occupa un posto di primissimo piano fra le riviste dell’epoca.
Innovativa da un punto di vista grafico, spregiudicata per il suo contenuto.
Attraverso bellissimi disegni e una satira devastante, ha ridicolizzato e attaccato l’ipocrisia del periodo.
Con questo primo numero di Naftalina, abbiamo cercato di riproporre un progetto editoriale ed artistico a nostro avviso molto interessante. Non volevamo riesumare cadaveri, ma rispolverare qualcosa che altrimenti sarebbe andato perduto, utilizzato la documentazione in nostro possesso.
