Dot Dot Dot • Bumfire, by Hairbland on Oct 19, 2014 21:46:48 GMT 1, A picture of a group of homeless people struggling to keep warm. Just what I need to look at when i'm at home. Yes, but if you frame it all archival and then sit in front of it, possibly in a retro Eames rocker with a nice glass of expensive red it takes on a whole new meaning. Maybe buckle it up with a seatbelt in your Mercedes and take it out for a ride even.

Dot Dot Dot • Bumfire, by met on Oct 22, 2014 21:42:29 GMT 1, I do hope the disgraceful choice of title is purely down to clumsiness and language barriers.
Leaving aside the tasteless wordplay, the whole tone of this image suggests the individuals responsible (both artist and print house employees) lead ignorant, overly sheltered lives.
If you choose to use vulnerable members of society as the subject matter of your commercial, for-profit, print release, such a decision comes with a duty of care. A duty to be extra cautious. That includes being aware of and sensitive to how the work may be interpreted or misinterpreted by others.
As a viewer, what I don't pick up here is any sense of empathy. Instead, I see a term often considered derogatory included in the print's name, and a shallow image that appears to mock, trivialise, and arguably further marginalise homeless people.
For shame.

fuck this release and fuck the artist quite frankly, street art was about bringing art to everyone to inclusivity, to giving the powerless a voice, to standing up to those with the power and making a mockery of the stereotypes we should adhere too. With that one word this release does the exact opposite.

The homeless are nearly invisible in the print, while the warning sign alerts you to a problem you might otherwise ignore. But knee-jerk overreactions are just as valid.
