jousting with shadows

i find blu's work/art fascinating: often temporary, most often for a temporary online audience, a fluid use of static frames, political and satirical (yet less obvious than a lot of stencil art), and performed in the forgotten spaces of the city. perhaps it is the fact that it not for sale galleries, that while the canvas turns to rubble so does the work, that attracts me most. i posted the video for 'muto' some time ago and the new video 'combo' continues to further my fascination. each frame itself a piece of 'art', something university activists would surely buy prints of at urban outfitters before their safe local gathering of bored middle class issues and the poverty of action, but the frame is not to be found. white wash and white wash falls like justice and joy...
