(de)Appropriation Project Archive

This has always been one of my favorite features of Valencia street - a lone wall strewn with political rants, graffiti, art and great, if sometimes disturbing imagery. Little did I know that the owner allowed it, and that a local, Bruce Tomb has been taking pictures of it. "As part of Bruce Tombs project, the (de)Appropriation Project Archive, you are invited to a public meeting to discuss the wall at 1240 Valencia Street (btw 23rd and 24th Streets). This wall is privately owned, but its owner condones wheat pasting and graffiti on the wall's surface and has been documenting it for the past 10 years. Southern Exposure invites all to voice their thoughts around the (de)Appropriation Project Archive at a public meeting. Have you tagged the wall? Do you consider it an artwork? A nuisance? Does it build community? Degrade it? Come and share your thoughts with the community." "SOEX Event Description":http://soex.org/Event/155.html "Project Archive":http://deappropriationproject.net/
