Shit Graffiti, by met on Jul 24, 2016 12:02:27 GMT 1,
This is excellent. Thank you for posting. It brings to mind the type of concept Brad Downey would embrace.
However, the full article is disappointing in that it offers almost zero information about the artist himself, Mathieu Tremblin (even if it does provide a link to his website).
In my view, the reference to "Shรญt Graffiti" in the title of both the article and this thread are also unfortunate.

I am not totally agree about the Prรญncipe : a graffiti writer is a graffiti writer. Can we call him a typing writer ? Or A graffiti typer ?
It's so clean .. Ok for one or two but.,
What about legends as Tox or Chris217 ? Even Revs or Lush ...

Totally agree. I prefer the tagging to the bland corporate typeface

Shit Graffiti, by Ravnur 2020 on Jan 11, 2021 17:17:12 GMT 1, hmmmmm.....a bit split on this one  Interesting concept, but then..........
Need to think :-)
Don't like general description of tagging though. I think tagging in it self can be very interesting and artistic (a lot more than some of the art that is flogged on here).

Graffiti is vandalism and vandalism is why we are typing on this art forum on here, I mean graffitiwriters, taggers, are the basis of all graffitis, font ones, walls, trains, street painting, street-art etc.. I like to see signatures in the streets... Banksy and his mates are ( were ?) considering themselves as vandals. Banksy ' stencils came after, stencils are clean, ok, but police, municipalities are making their warning with stencils too ! Everybody like stencils. I lile all kind of kids fingerprints in the streets, murals too, I like also to see my son' s signatures, it's like if he was here, I like to see mines, too. It's the street. All this typing ( supposed to be contemporary art ) is bullshit and snobbery as said onket.
First they tag Manhattan.

That may be a central point of the work.
In my interactions with Tremblin, I have found that he takes an active and activist interest in - and wishes to question the consequences of - the commodification and increasing societal acceptance of some types of expressions in public space.
In the case at hand, what happens when graffiti tags are sanitised and transformed into legible fonts? Or, to expand the question: what happens when our urban environments become dominated by murals and other commissioned expressions instead of unsanctioned, independently created graffiti? Perhaps these broadly palatable forms (represented by the reworked tags) are more accessible to a public with no prior knowledge of, or appreciation for, graffiti culture, but clearly something essential is also lost in the process.
To be clear, I do not speak for Tremblin. These are just some of my immediate thoughts, based on my knowledge of his work.

Hi, I know that - as Met - I am speaking to a professionnal art or street-art critic- I donot make irony. Well, a person who studied for ( still, no irony 
Anyway, when we read the title of the article " Guy Paints Over Shit Graffiti And Makes It Legible ", we would like to know where is the frontier between graffitiwriting and graffitityping.
The title of this article is Terrible !
Of course, Graffiti are ephemerals, and the artist Tremblin, kept the name of the taggers. Ok, he made it legit and accepted by people ( officials, touirsts or not etc ). But why to call it "s**t " graffiti ?! Imagine that instead of Tox ( I have a paint of him, and I am happy that it's not a typed one ), I have another TOX, well square and straight in his boots like an administrative letter, I would not like it. A bit cold, without life, too much clean.
Yes it may be interesting, for contemporary art critics, and street art critics, but also, it's a bit of theft and "replay" on the artist's tag. We all know codes ( even Banksy and Robbo ) about painting over artists. Well, maybe still " in " than " out " ( defaced by municpalities ) ... Oh it's late, i don't know...
