Meh.

(I never used that before, but it seemed appropriate)

[woodrot]

get with it AP, street art ( I feckin hate that term BTW ) has to have AK47/ Ronald Mc Donald/ tescos logo / hand grenade used ironically to be a hit.Its all about the clever and original juxtaposition of globalism and war and death and shit innit.

get back to grass roots and get tagging bus windows and blacking out teeth on grinning tube averts.or maybe speech bubbles with bad words crudely drawn on posters.and styalised genitalia.Ole Skool for impact.Retro is the way forward.

keep it real on the mean streets of SE22.

[woodrot]

ans sticking chewing gum onto tube posters to create an amusing 3d effect.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

If that's a reference to the IRA bomb at Harrods, it ain't very amusing.

[aprovocateur]

Peckhamgatecrasher, apologies for not replying sooner, the Herrods* pud is in no way a reference to any heinous act of cowardly terrorism, being a pacifist I don't condone any act of violence or hatred to anyone or anything... apart from Daleks maybe.

Herrods* is a place of pilgrimage during the seasonal festive binge for the discerning aerosol afficionado. Specialising in inappropriate last minute artistic gifts, primarily for yourself, but maybe someone else.

Herrods NEON - FRI 13 to MON 23 | DEC 2013 by aprovocateur, on Flickr

*not to be confused with any mini mart in Knightsbridge with a similar name (this a serious contemptorary art gallery questioning mass consumption, please buy our stuff)

[Loz]

If they let loose the lawyers on you for 'passing off', I give you zero chance...

[aprovocateur]

You and me both Loz!

Here's what the Herrods legal team prepared in advance of the launch, our very own 'Public Stealth Warning'...

Begone, tat-monger.

Are you a Daily Mail reader by any chance?

Silly question? Of course you are.

[Loz]

Worst Daily-Mail-accusation-shoehorning ever.

[Annette Curtain]

Oh, so this is a gift shop then

Not to be confused with another gift shop of the same-ish name

Very *edgy but sadly done to death years ago

*you may punch my teeth for using that word

It's full of naive charm and spunky gusto, like a lot of Fine Art degree shows. Slade? Chelsea? South Bank Poly Uni maybe? A career in local council leaflet design awaits.

Worth a Desmond.

Does his Mother know he does this stuff ?

I bet she's completely unaware of the 'talent' that hides in the head of her boy

"He was fine until his Father upped and left us" she tells the neighbours

"Then 'efore you know it he's listing to hippity hop and messin about with words an' the like"

When we were 19 we did a deeply ironic radio show on uni radio. In second year we had to progress so made it a post ironic take on an ironic radio show. Then we realised the irony of a post-ironic take on an ironic radio show.

We had become knobs. Disappearing ever so slowly up our own rectums.

Herrods 2013 - Artists preview 1 by aprovocateur, on Flickr

Just makes me wonder if Agent Provocateur are selling their sexy pants in Harrods and this is a subliminal ad campaign.

[MrBen]

I've decided I'm going to run this in Nunhead Cemetery next summer:

"Edgy, anti-consumptive street art by Men with Beards"

Edgy anti-consumption street art by men with beards is a simplistic but post-ironic take on the ironic juxtapositions found in the urban hipster art movement of the early 2010's. It examines the tat consumption generated from the middle class movements anti-consumptive message before the main protagonists disappeared up a giant rectal passageway.

As part of the attraction there will be an interactive "bouncy sphincter" for both children and adults alongside a giant life sized rat with a machine gun. Mulled wine and prosecco will be served.
