Portland is spending $4 million on graffiti cleanup, but will fines or jail time make the city safer? Discover why it’s so easy to write graffiti in Portland. We embedded with an up-and-coming writer rappelling off structures, a businessman with cleanup contracts, a veteran vandal with $20k+ in spray paint, and an 84-year-old man taking matters into his own hands. This eye-opening exploration reveals what’s really behind the ‘graffiti war’ that nobody seems to be winning.

According to the BBC, a court has ordered Danish artist Jens Haaning to pay The Kunsten Museum in Aalborg, Denmark, 500.000 kroner. That’s just a bit under $77.000.
That’s because the artist had been paid for an art piece and sent the museum exactly that. He titled the piece “Take The Money And Run” and it just so happened to be comprised of two blank canvases.

Check out Banksy’s “CUT & RUN: 25 Years of Card Labour,” the first major retrospective showcasing 25 years of non-conformity and political defiance. Experience thought-provoking art that challenges norms and exposes corruption.
“I’ve kept these stencils hidden away for years, mindful they could be used as evidence in a charge of criminal damage. But that moment seems to have passed, so now I’m exhibiting them in a gallery as works of art. I’m not sure which is the greater crime.”

Deadwood Waves by Jörg Gläscher.
The artist and photographer spent six months in a secluded location near Hamburg collecting deadwood and constructing nine large crests made of branches and twigs. The largest crest was four meters high and nine meters wide. He photographed each iteration before destroying it to reuse the materials, creating a new landscape with the former thriving matter.
