I think I’ve seen discussions about this before, and obviously the USSR produced art because we still see statues of Lenin today. But how does this translate in modern times with the instance of obscure art or other modern art? Often the purpose of that art is to explicitly go against societal norms for aesthetics.
Reminds me of people cutting walls out of buildings to sell Banksy pieces.
It’s funny because I think being on a cut-out wall makes it a more interesting art piece in a vacuum, but it also totally negates the point of graffiti as a public display on existing infrastructure.
The art is the contradictions sharpening.
