Who, What, Why: How do you graffiti-proof public art?

Spray can Graffiti may be art to some, but it is seen as a nuisance by others
Continue reading the main story

A landmark sculpture project is at risk because of spiralling costs - including the budget for keeping it graffiti-free. How do you protect public artworks from vandals?

It was meant to be a towering monument - a 50m (164ft) white horse in the fields of Kent greeting Eurostar passengers to England. But now sculptor Mark Wallinger's so-called "Angel of the South" project is at risk because of rising costs.

The price tag for the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project (ELP) has gone up from £2m to £12m, according to reports, with the budget for removing graffiti over 80 years part of the revised bill.

There will be a "stencil station" at this event....

Who wants to contact Stencil Archive with advice, questions, or words or support? Well, if you have tried to contact me via the new Contact page you probalby got two confusing responses: "Message is sent" AND the error "Message Not Sent". Someone on the Saturday Banksy tour gave me heads up about this, so the fix is complete.

All is good and the Contact page is functional.

Drop me an email. Links, news, comments, etc. all welcome.

There is FAQ there that will help you set things up for me to easily post on the site.

Just a quick post to let you know that I am keeping track of the 404 Errors that come up when you try to surf the site.

Links from the older version of the site no long will work.

Links from the initial release of the site (where you may see "gallery3" in the url, instad of "archives") do not work.

I am looking at the 404 hits frequently and creating redirects for the pages that get the most hits. These redirects will take you to the right page!

Before the link "gallery3" became "archives" I posted three stories with links to all the latest uploads to the Stencil Archives. Well, I just corrected all the links in those three posts, so they should take you to the right archive.

Sorry for any confusion and thanks again for visiting!

URBAN ARTISTS IN ACTION – ANOTHER VIEW ON STREET ART & GRAFFITI
Brenna - Urban Artcore

Dates 23.06.2011 - 02.07.2011
West Berlin Gallery :: http://www.westberlingallery.com/
Vernissage 23.06.2011, 6pm - 10pm

“For years now, I document street art in Berlin and other European metropolises like Paris, London, Barcelona and Madrid. What I learned is, when you are deep in that multicultural and highly creative public art scene, you want to get in touch with its protagonists, with the people behind those sometimes funny or political street artworks. You want to know faces, want to see how they work, want to feel the adrenalin...” ( Brenna 2010 )

West Berlin Gallery is pleased to present Urban Artists in Action - Another View on Street Art & Graffiti, the photography of Jan Brennenstuhl, the brain behind the blogs www.urbanartcore.eu and www.urbanart-photography.eu. For the first time, the gallery will show not the result but the fascinating process of urban art, the secret of which so many artists are at pains to conceal.

Join us at West Berlin Gallery with the artist for the opening on thursday June 23rd, 18:00.
