Jack Fekner
Jack Fekner's works are supposed to be target buildings that are no longer taken care of by the government. Is his works justified then? Even though it too can be seen as damage to public property?
Jack Fekner's artworks usually contains words or symbols. He made his artworks by spraying paints on abandoned buildings. His artworks should be justified. First of all, he is spraying paints on something no one even cares about. If the government does not take care of the building, why would it be illegal? It is ridiculous to claim it is damaging public property. He should has his own freedom to express his feelings through art.In addition, his stencil artworks are actually amazing. It should not ever be "damaging public property.
Do you think his arts, such as "xamericanax" messages are shown clearly or is it difficult to understand?
I think his artworks are quite easy to understand. For example, "xamericanax", it talks about environmental issues. He made stancils about acid rain, toxic wastes in the contaminated ground water aquifers and buried in the ground. He used ‘found paintings’ thrown out in the garbage and thrift shop items. it might be difficult to understand but generally it is really easy to understand his artworks.
