圣保罗城里的涂鸦游击战
萌芽于史前洞穴壁画的涂鸦文化,在现代欧美城市中开成奇葩。在有着奔放热血的巴西第一大都市圣保罗,涂鸦已被升级为一场民间艺术家与市政管理者的街头游击战。
涂鸦是圣保罗城市特点,有贫民窟艺术和街道之光的称号,有时它也份量十足,弄得市长也不得不出面,为700平米大墙上满目的涂鸦剪彩。
说它是贫民窟艺术,是因为涂鸦者的草根性,他们有钱时去买颜料, 没钱时就去披萨店送外卖,还因为无权无势,常和警察、市政府的清除涂鸦队伍玩猫抓老鼠的游戏。
清除涂鸦的队伍有些像中国城市里的城管,拎着灰色涂料的喷枪,嗖嗖嗖地抹去涂鸦。当然他们也不是见涂鸦就抹杀,而是煞有介事地鉴定一番,认定这不是艺术后才下毒手。
问题由此而引发:由街头执法者鉴定哪件作品是否属于艺术品,有点过于无产阶级专政的味道。
但涂鸦游击战还在圣保罗如火如荼地展开,此战役从圣保罗市政府网站上的文字可略见一斑:
Reporting Graffiti:If you see someone making graffiti in Saint Paul, call 9-1-1.
First, make sure the graffiti is within City limits.If you are the victim of graffiti on your property, call (651) 266 - 8989 to make a report, email in your complaint, or you may use our online Complaint form
市政府还像派发灭鼠药一样, 在官网上张贴安民告示:
Wipe Out Graffiti Program:
Through a partnership with Wagner Spray Tech, Inc., a Plymouth-based company that specializes in innovative spray paint technology, the City of Saint Paul is gaining a new weapon against graffiti. The Wipe Out Graffiti Van is a truck equipped with the latest commercial-powered paint spray technology. The van is part of a pilot Wipe Out Graffiti program that aims to get rid of graffiti within 48 hours of occurrence.
巴西导演MARCELO MESQUITA和GUILHERME VALIENGO合拍的纪录片《CIDADE CINZA》(灰色城市)讲述的正是这个人群在这座城市的故事。
