| When asked about the state of the modern urban visual environment, most people see the crowded mix of billboard advertisements and graffiti as the unfortunate but inevitable result of an economically and culturally liberal society. While it may not be very pretty to look at, most people aren't too concerned with the ways in which advertisers and graffiti taggers can co-op much of the visual space in a modern city. UK-born artists Aiden Hughes and Rory Wilmer, however, have made it their mission, through a number of different artistic endeavors, to reclaim public space for the public. |
