BLEK LE RAT

"1981 to 1983 the beginning of the stencil graffiti art. I had the idea to use stencil to make graffiti for one reason. I did not want to imitate the American graffiti that I had seen in NYC in 1971 during a journey I had done over there. I wanted to have my own style in the street... I began to spray some small rats in the streets of Paris because rats are the only wild living animals in cities and only rats will survive when the human race will have disappeared and died out."

"life, and other modern legends. The dress-rehearsal
Armsrock

From Armsrock's black book:

“the streets, the great spectacle…… the living epic theater….. The differences, which must naturally occur when taking “outside” “inside”…… The danger of the total dramatization (hopeless romantics)….. Weight and lightness……. Dark light, light darkness…… Cardboard city(and the floor is painted on)…… an ironic conversation with myself and the ghost of Brecht……. Tristesse for all its worth. the modern legend….. Building more stages and shifting focus (mine and others)…… Finding a natural way of navigating in the hated whitecube….. Wagners old cardboard trees."

Scratching the Surface

“Sous les pavés, la plage!” (Beneath the paving stones - the beach!) - Anonymous graffiti, Paris 1968.

Paris, May 1968. When the enragés started digging up the stones from the Boulevard St. Michel to use them as weapons against the forces of the old order, they came upon the sand that covered the surface underneath them. The earth. Beneath the concrete, the earth. Beneath the urban environment, nature. Beneath the artificial, life.

Behind all these brick and concrete walls, these dull, grey surfaces that condition our existence, behind all of these cities, there is life. There are individuals, there is nature. “Scratching the surface” is an act of creation taken from lifeless forms. It is the subversion of lifeless forms. The act of engraving the idea of life on a wall, of creating the image of an individual, an iconographic piece of representational symbolism that will endure. As if rendering him eternal by bringing him to life where life was not supposed to be. By carving it out of that which is still-born by its very nature, by its design.

So until the symbolical demise of all walls that separate, that impose, that condition, of a social system that overbuilds in order to control and perpetuate its grasp on the divisions that stem from this eternal partitioning and keep individuals in place, it will be easier and easier to forget who we are, where we come from and what nature is really all about. How easy it is to lose track of what our nature really is while caught amid this saturated, un-organic environment. "
