Three 3d printed and hydrodipped facsimile graffiti books on a vintage shelf from slovenian (home made sometime in the 90ies accordingto the guy i boughtit from). One glitchy reproduction of an authoritative graffiti book from the US, a blackbook, or scrapbook, (of the kind graffiti writers used to meticulously glue photographs of their graffiti into) and a fictional biography of the slovenian/yugoslavian artist Avgust Černigoj as a graffiti writer - with the subtitle "constructivist graffiti 1898 - 1982" #tankhiphop #thisisnothistory #workinprogress #parahistory for the show retro avantgarde at @kongegaarden and supported by @statenskunstfond (at Kongegaarden) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChCtICaMeUf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Images from the open source Dall-e mini algorithm that generates images of graffiti from text input, imagining a fictional Slovenian hip-hop subculture. Using the illegible, but still recognisable, computer created imagery to help me move beyond the conventions of graffiti as I was taught it, to imagine local styles of lettering that look like they originated in the 1990ies Europa graffiti scenen, but never that never was. To form the basis of a new handstyle for the ongoing Tank Hiphop project. #retroavantgarde #sloveina #noncomformistart #workinprogress #ThisIsNotHistory #graffiti #slovenianavantgarde #aerosolhistory #statenskunstfond #tankhiphop #dallemini #handstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CetFQOQM1Rg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Images from the open source Dall-e mini algorithm that generates images from text input, imagining a fictional Slovenian hip-hop subculture. Using the glitchy, but no wholly unconvincing, computer created imagery to help me unseat my own ideas, and imagine something that never was. #retroavantgarde #sloveina #noncomformistart #workinprogress #ThisIsNotHistory #graffiti #slovenianavantgarde #aerosolhistory #statenskunstfond #tankhiphop #dallemini (at Kongegaarden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceqeg3ssl7N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
