The reception area at the Cans Festival of street art in Leake Street, Waterloo, was created from a cut-away caravan and features the skull and crossbones logo of Pictures on Walls, co-organisers of the Festival. Their website states: “POW was founded by a loose collection of alcoholics and show-offs that felt they were too underground (meaning not good enough) to be embraced by the proper art world. They set up their own production facility in an East London shit-hole from where prints could be produced and sold direct over the internet without the usual art world sham, snobbery and mark-up. Whatever you choose to call this stuff (not ‘post graffiti’ please) the vast number of you that photograph it, collect it, trade it, hang it up and slag it off are making this the first genuinely democratic art form. The Festival, which ran from 3rd-5th May, was also co-produced by Blank Expression. Digital image dated 5th May 2008.
