TO DARK MOFO 2016 STREET ARTISTS
Regarding open-access community art walls: legal graffiti spaces.
I think the respected artists involved in this colab should join forces together with the Gods of MONA (and anyone else who supports the arts) to petition the Powers That Be to establish legal graffiti walls (for everyone, all ages) in Hobart, particularly the northern suburbs. What does Die Laughing Collective say to this idea?
[...]
That's exactly what I'm suggesting: get the permission of private property owners (eg: K&D Warehouse, Derwent Park) and the support of Council/s (eg: site maintenance, the provision of Youth Workers) together with Police approval... to allow all artists and young people total freedom of artistic expression (within reason) at the legal art wall/s site/s. I think it is time to advocate for this approach again. I believe that Hobart's street artists, if united and organised collectively, are sufficiently empowered to make this idea reality. I'm passing my vision to you, please pass it on if you also believe in it.

Hi Jamin, thank you for sending me a Friend request. But I'm sorry I can't accept it at the moment because I am working through some personal issues. I only ask that you will consider the social and cultural benefits of legal street art walls in Hobart. I believe that professional artists like yourself are well placed to advocate for legal art walls in Tasmania. Kind regards, Felix Herbener.
