Abandonment

Hey Kids

A crucial part of graffiti and street art is finding the space to paint, paste or glue.  Obviously there are plenty of walls around to paint, but picking the right one is crucial.  A writer or artist has to choose what to do, where and when.  The complexity and time taken for the work to be completed have to be considered, especially while hitting illegal spots.  How to get there is another issue, making sure the place is accessible in a time that is convenient.  This is where abandoned buildings come into play.  Having a space where you can paint at any time of the day, for as long as you want without being disturbed is somewhat of a dream to artists in a rush.  Buildings like these allow for time and effort to be applied without the constant pressure of operating in the public eye.
