Update on Fairey epic. SuperTouch launched a critique of Mark Vallen’s critique of Shepard Fairey has shown up here. It is only fair to mention Brian Sherwin’s critique of the SuperTouch critique of Vallen. (Lot of critiques going on over Shepard Fairey) The SuperTouch critique was in response of a Boston Globe article focusing on Vallen’s critique.

“The key difference is in our motivations…”
Beg to differ, both sell work to make money.
Shep just has higher moral grounds and institutional power to back him.
Many of the people’s movements he appropriates from have no access to
those institutions for recourse, thats what they’re fighting against,
disenfranchisement. (ie labor movements, Zapatistas, Black Power struggles,
and on, and on)

i can’t speak for anyone else, but i believe the statement was sent directly to people who requested it… i got it from Fairey’s studio… and it doesn’t take much to figure out why they wouldn’t post something of this nature on their website. bucky was on it.
