Arts and Culture Team. Tuesday, 20 March 2007. 8220;TOTAL Regeneration, Total ASBO.” Scrawled across a wall near Mare Street, this graffiti serves as an indictment of Hackney’s current situation and a warning of the way things could be going, writes. If snot-nosed advertising executives can persuade talented East End artists to use their work as no more than a cynical marketing ploy, how long is it before other things fall by the wayside? In Bristol they are painting over Bansky’s artwork. He m...If the ...

http://hackneypost-arts.blogspot.com/2007/03/column-shawcross.html
Arts and Culture Team. Thursday, 15 March 2007. Bemoans the need for modern art ‘blurbs’. Picture this: a three-metre square candy pink canvas, intersected by six panels of pale pink paint. That’s it – big bland and boring. You are currently visualising ‘Incubus’, a painting by Gary Hume, which dominates the first floor of the Tate Modern. Not many people stop for ‘Incubus’: it’s not as fun as the slides, and hasn’t got Picasso’s kudos. We don’t need a pocket-sized bit of practical criticism to app...
