I may not agree with all of the things he says about paint graffiti and his somewhat elitist attitudes, but I love this different type of art.

What if we took different art forms and turned them upside down, inside out. Negatives from film are interesting. In fact, I’ve seen some beautiful negatives on display. What is poetry or literature reversed? Do we get alternate forms like the sestina or the short, short story? Does it become more interesting, less interesting.

What happens when the art is temporary, when dirt, or rain, can erase the hard work? Does it lose its importance? If a poem was lost when a piece of paper was burned or thrown away, we wouldn’t have record of it. Would we lose something because of it?

What kind of reverse art could you make, right now? I think I could paint my walls, still white, but if I painted in patterns, they would come out because the older paint has faded slightly. Or I could definitely do negative film prints (I have some film in my fridge right now, waiting for the big trip). What about you?
