I dont think there is any need. The building is beautiful as it is and any graffiti on the outside will just make it look rundown. There is enough of the stuff around as it is and not all of it is nice. I’m not saying that all graffiti is horrible – there is some stunning work out there – but the majority of it is crap.

premiumBut, you realise it’s a temporary thing and the building is being protected? I think it’s a cool idea. “Street art” on a grand scale, from the establishment, sort of. I hope you can see it writ large from across the river. I think it’s right that the Tate should explore all sorts of modern art, don’t you?
