C215 got GANKED !, by Stella Dore on Aug 2, 2008 22:43:52 GMT 1, Funnily enough I bumped into Pure Evil the other day on Brick Lane, camera in hand ready to shoot a piece he'd done the night before, when we turned the corner to view it his face fell as he realised it had been buffed! Bless! Aw thats kind of sad, I think we have all been there. I built this piece entitled Nimby and put it up in Ashford, it lasted 3 months and people seemed to really like it, one day i was offered a large sum of money by a private collector to buy it, the next day i went to the site and it had gone! God knows how, it was life sized! 6 x 3 mtrs, built out of wood. I love to think that its in someones front room and they trip over it everytime the get up off the sofa
Is that real? what is it, paper on wood, and then placed in the field (of sorts)? or is it an altered photo?

100% real. Its hardboard, painted directly. Took about 5 weeks to make, my biggest project to date. I put it up in the middle of the night and next day had the radio on, people were txting and calling the 'jam line' to say an elephant was heading towards the road! Think the press thought it was a real elephant until they came down and saw it

Thanks for that, I've had a couple of people on the board say I should remake it and put it outside London Zoo! It's really tempting

C215 got GANKED !, by Pure Evil on Aug 2, 2008 23:24:45 GMT 1, I think the thing is, you have to be totally zen about it all. If stuff gets taken, buffed, tagged over, pooed on or sprayed off and turned into papier mache it just means you have to work that much harder to stay up... I was arseing around in the gallery the other day and I had done about 25 pieces and I was taking pics and thinking about what do do with them and it just struck me that i had forgotten something. Im a bloody street artist! I got off my arse and went walkabout and put all the pieces up in the street where they belonged. About 7 or 8 of them lasted about 12 hours but thats just the game isnt it. Easy come, easy go. The ones that survived are still there.
I also think that if people start to put stuff up higher than about 8 feet off the ground theres less chance of it being taken down or cleaned off. Dont make it easy for people . Adapt and Survive.

Couldn't agree more PE, it's quite interesting to be kept on our toes and come up with new ways to display our work and find interesting new locations, besides like you said if you are going to put work in the public realm you have to expect the public to interact with it at some point!

Thank you, It's something I am seriously considering, it's tricky though as i usually like to move forward and not really go back but I think it would be quite fun to revisit it and put it in the sort of place it really should have been in the first place

C215 got GANKED !, by Coach on Aug 3, 2008 0:44:44 GMT 1, Oliver - what a great "street" piece - wish I had seen it in the flesh ( ;D). Amognst all the stresses and dreariness, it's great to see something that makes you smile or lol. Great work mate. Would look great near a safari park. PE - guess you are right, kinda bound to get nicked - not much chance of sticking this one 8 feet up tho! Soppose thats why so many Invaders stick around so long - all the ones I've seen have been way up on the walls.

Thanks coach, after spending 4 weeks making it and 2 months planning it, by the time it was up it didn't make me smile when I used to see it!

Back to the thread, at least the circuits on the box were somewhat protected. They must have wanted it really bad to pop the rivets off the metal box.

have you tried painting your work with anti-graffitti paint so no-one sprays over it, putting it up 8ft high and then putting anti-climb paint all around it and some cctv cameras linked up to you tv at home?

C215 got GANKED !, by stender on Aug 3, 2008 17:22:39 GMT 1, Oliver that's a great idea. Would love to be on the train to work one rush hour morning and see that in a field by the side of the tracks. Or on the motorway. Who's going to be first to do a piece on the side of one of those lorry trailers in the fields by the motorway. You'll get a lot of views!

Thanks, funnily enough, quite frequently I am on the M25 and see those trailers, every time i do I think I really must get around to doing something on one of those! Some of those are really close to the road as well, would be a great spot
