[lbo-talk] TJ Clark on London 2011--trashing the footlocker

[Chuck Grimes]

I hesitate to suggest it, but try and get through it. There is interesting 
stuff to
chew on. Clark was in London and lived a few blocks from the action a couple
of years ago. It made him reflect on what all that meant.

It has the usual problem with Clark. A lot more questions than answers and 
deadends
that seem to leave off before you get to the wall. But worth a few minutes.

I think he misses something, which is the role of the unintended document, 
the actual piece or momento from the act itself, as an image. This isn't 
just a quick cell phone image per se,
but a kind of assemblage of pieces that are more grafitti than image...can't 
describe it. As
usual, you know it when you see it.
