Taking the graffiti removal work to Canada for the Urban Affairs Association conference in Vancouver! My paper was titled “Visual orders and legal slippages in graffiti removal practices” and was aptly hosted at the WALL CENTRE 😉
The paper argues that the aesthetics and visual presence of buff complicate our understanding of it as a blunt instrument of the law. Therefore buff doesn’t just erase – it reorganises and sometimes inadvertently amplifies the very multiplicity it seeks to suppress.
