Bombing Science With the Zohan

zohan-51Urban culture possesses its own art aesthetic with regard to graffiti, the subversive and restless cousin of  municipally sanctioned mural art. In Tel-Aviv that expression finds its voice of  insurgency despite the weight of cultural karma.  Israeli graffiti artists have generally avoided using the security fence as a painting surface   in part because of a recognition  that a creative  process  on katusha resistant cement   just normalizes issues of race, consumerism and militarism   by bestowing  the aesthetics of modernism  as a collage on an pricey public works project that war profiteers make fortunes building and maintaining.

Capzoola is the only grafiiti supplies store in the country. its owner ”Lalo” stated: ”We are not anarchists. Political art is much more visceral and political conflicts slow down the creative process” yet political themes prevail as well.Graffiti art is repressed  in Tel-Aviv with the active assistance of UNESCO yet  May ’68 French situationist slogans are a la mode. So when in Tel-Aviv just… imagine you are walking along the left bank of the Seine and Guy Debord  asks you to ”Join the resistance and fall in  in love.”zohan-4zohan-9
