Wow, Channel and graffiti ..... how ground breaking..... pass !

I haven't bothered to click the link as I'm at work but I find the title of the show to be highly questionable.

[agu]

The title is sensationalist bollocks, very questionable, it shows a complete lack of any thought process.

The artwork is commercialist crap see below

[agu]

Other than that it's great.

Can't work out is I like Kidult or not!?

I liked the first stuff I saw... The videos of spraying over a couple of shops, and the t-shirts he made were cool, and then the skeletal fire extinguishers which he gave away... then it all got a bit commercial, and silly prices for the sculptures and bad prints, and then milking the shop spraying to the point it looked like self promotion or perhaps he was paid to do it during fashion week...

But I quite like these new sculptures!!

Seems a bit contradictory that someone so anti-capitalistic and against luxury products is selling work aimed at the luxury market. He does cover his back by donating a unspecific amount of €255,600 of the total sales though.

And I don't give a shit who owns this or other commercial buildings he's vandalised. Pure visual pollution.

[agu]

Nearly 700€ for some fucked up lego block? I've seen better value inside the Chanel Shop! 50€ would be expensive. I get the commentary but where is the art? What is the subtle twist that helps us see the world in a new and hopefully enlightening way, or just feeds the soul. Where is the skill or craft in the execution?

Dull blunt hypocritical commercialist crap. I surprise myself with the harshness of my tone...time to lie down.

it's the roots of street art, vandalism, anti-capitalist, street rules

To his credit this guy gives away more art than he sells. He's definitely not in it for the money.

Mr Brainwash definition.



Kidult, not,  provocation is an art and it's a review of current art business.

[Gentle Mental]

was there. not impressed.

it's Cartrain with better PR .... will upload some pic if you guys are keen.

feels like a show of a parasite, a media-whore, sucking on tits of glam brands, mass media, milking every "controversial"  press release it can, all over his wannabe masked face...give me a break.

At least brainwash has the balls and the honesty to admit he's taking everyone for a ride. 

Not Kidult - he is soooo anti - everything... his spooky video projected - like he has something important to say... that "graffiti" is the only blah blah blah... jeez... 

...a "Visual Rape" show in the heart of japan's poshest shopping street... - i mean Chanel and Gucci flagship stores  are metres away For Fish Sakes 

don't think kidult has the balls to deface those...HA!

I genuinely enjoyed your review, your honesty sounds justified.

It sounds like an opportunity missed, when other artists would have thrived in this environment.

Yeah, he gave me some little gifts and signed for me and my daughter the Fake Moss tee...
This guy is really not as you ( art critics, forum etc ) could think ( kind of hipster ) and comes from the suburb ...
His actions are particularly violent and painted at the extinguisher, believe me, he is one of the number one nme for the police , and Paris municipality.

at the contrary of our friend Cornish, I read a lot of hate and an hipster language critic ... I m sure that you don't live in the streets gentleman, and have no 20

[Paname]

you know Kidult, Dodcoquelicot ? This guy, should be super interesting

I would be interested to see some pictures, especially after reading your review.

[Gentle Mental]

here u go. ebola!

[Gentle Mental]

ok... i may be a bit harsh... it's an ok mini-show...

the gallery next door had an exhibition of imageries of flowers by contemporary artists - like marc quinn, koons, warhol, cy, etc dozens of painting, sculptures, drawings and prints of flowers - and that was so sincere, pure and true...

Kidult's "VISUAL RAPE"'s pomp, and the lack of irony got to me, that's all.


i wish kidult the very best. and may he find success and happiness if he hasn't already. peace.

[Coach]

Thanks for the pics. I like the black extinguisher, but that's just about it. Old piece, I know.

[Lroy]

Great pics.
Thanks gentleman ( sorry on the phone I can't see your name when I reply ).
I like it, not so bad at all, I was expecting worst as you was talking about.
And for his detractors Kidult has stopped for a while since the ( hidden ) extinguisher -some were sold on eBay exactly - episodes and has been discreet..
I like artists that don't fall in a " routine " as Brainwash, Cartrain , all the Eaters of Campbell soups, still making Warholian prints, half a century after his dead... Or the usual periodically Faile and friends selling a print per month..
Kidult still has several projects ( videos per example too ) , he lost a part of his fans maybe since 2 years , but he is a singular artist, I like it and I applause his come back.
:-)

A new Kidult - rue Cambon at Paris

Just here

[moron]

This is from his about me page on his website.

  " Luxury brands appropriate graffiti for publicity, thereby pushing me to react by vandalizing their stores with real graffiti. These brands are usurpers, and they are, in their enterprise of stealing our culture, helped by the institutions that rule our society.



The main concept that sets me against the brands and the governing institutions is the commercialization and the market value of graffiti. Following this logic, the brands are creating an abyssal gap between the value of graffiti and the price that they sell it for, making profits out of something they do not and will never own. The hijacking happens in both senses; I take over the brand’s marketing strategies in order to pirate their image. I use the same techniques they do to advertise for my cause, to be seen and heard by all."

 The rest of it comes across as pretentious crap.

 He comes across similar to the way a criminal or abuser blames the victim for their actions. I'm no fan of fashion and hoi poloi but fashion brands are not usurpers. Many came from nothing and created a brand, whilst others had rich parents and sometimes Posh too.

    It looks to me like Kidult has entirely missed the whole point that he says he is making.

There again as far as I can see he is doing it all for attention inorder to make money.

He is as big a greedy capitalist Brand in his head anyway as the ones he says he is against.
