Remember when you went to your first modern art exhibition and there was an old TV box on the floor with voices from the sixties, a pile of rocks on the floor, or a naked woman pouring red paint in a bucket? Remember how you thought, “How is this art”? And how you still don’t get it. And you think that these artist are not really artists, let alone urban artists. How is graffiti art? When the graffiti was cleaned up in New York City, the crime rate went down after all. Every urban area is loaded with street art that we often think of as damage – or we just call the area a slum, a ghetto.

Wherever you are in the world, may we suggest that you’ll take a walk in your city this weekend, with a camera, down a few streets, past construction sites, or take a walk in a park. You’re going to be surprised what you discover once you decide to start giving the surroundings more attention. You might not see any graffiti or a paper cut-out by Swoon, but you might see a fire hydrant with tiny metallic polka dots on it, a sticker on a yield sign that asks you a question, or a pink moon sprayed in a corner of the sidewalk. Whatever you notice, take a picture of it and send it to us – we will post it in our coming Sunday Weekly section, ‘’Love Urban Art’’.
